43: Section 43

Under these circumstances,

the banquet lasted for a long time.

It wasn't until the moon was high in the sky

that it finally concluded with everyone enjoying themselves.

“Chuan'er, quickly go and see True Disciple Chu back to his rest,”

Zhao Chuan ordered heartily.

Zhao Chan naturally nodded and then led Chu Mo back to the courtyard where he was staying.

After they left, all the members of the Zhao Family couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

“Family Head, you truly have good fortune!”

“You've raised a good daughter who can become True Disciple Chu's maidservant, and she's so favored... With True Disciple Chu as our backer, our Zhao Family has truly established a firm foothold!”

“Not only that... in the future, even further advancement will be no difficult feat!”

Some Zhao Family Elders spoke up, their words filled with unconcealed joy.

Thinking back, when their Zhao Family was at its most glorious, their Old Ancestor was only an Inner Sect Disciple of the Taichu Holy Land.

But now, they had a True Disciple as a backer.

Even if they didn't need to actively publicize it,

anyone with keen insight, upon encountering their Zhao Family, would proactively inquire and then try every means to befriend them.

It was foreseeable that

from this day forward, their Zhao Family would surely rise again, not only restoring their ancestral glory but also soaring upward to unprecedented prosperity!

Listening to the words of his Family members, the smile on Zhao Chuan's face never faded.

“Indeed! Chuan'er is truly lucky to have gained True Disciple Chu's favor, allowing our Family to also benefit from it.”

“However...”

At this point,

he changed the subject and looked at the surrounding Family members: “Even with True Disciple Chu's care, we must not act recklessly in the future, nor can we bully others by relying on power.”

“You must know that it is our good fortune to be able to follow True Disciple Chu; we must remember this good fortune and absolutely not tarnish True Disciple Chu's reputation!”

By the end, his words were imbued with strictness.

“Yes, yes, yes, the Family Head is right!”

“We will bear it in mind!”

“From now on, we will restrain the younger generations in our Family; whoever dares to bully others by relying on power will not be lightly spared by the Family law!”

Everyone's expressions were solemn as they spoke.

Seeing this,

Zhao Chuan's expression softened slightly, and he said, “Alright, it's late, everyone go back and rest.”

He waved his hand, then turned and left.

However,

the moment he turned, an unconcealed excitement flashed in his eyes.

...

“Young Master, what you ordered has been handled; all the secrets on Xu Lingguang have been extracted and are on this Jade Slip!”

Just as he sat down in the courtyard,

Elder Shaoguang came to report, then presented a Storage Pouch and a Jade Slip.

“Oh?”

Chu Mo was surprised: “That fast?”

“This person was quite stubborn and tried to resist, but how could a Loose Cultivator know the wonders of Holy Land Cultivation Techniques? With just a simple Soul Searching Secret Art, all his background was dug out,”

Elder Shaoguang said with a smile.

Chu Mo nodded slightly, then focused his gaze on the Jade Slip.

His Divine Sense attached to it.

Immediately, a stream of scriptures flowed into his mind.

The Secret Tome of Concealing Divine Presence and Suppressing Aura!

Although this method was only an Earth Rank Cultivation Technique, it was extremely profound. It circulated Qi and vital energy in an ingenious way, which could not only conceal one's own aura but also change one's appearance. Even a Martial Artist two or three major Realms higher would find it difficult to discern.

It had to be said,

this method of concealing aura was indeed exquisite.

“But...”

“It's nothing more than this!”

After Chu Mo perused it, he closed his eyes.

As the Dao Embryo in his Purple Mansion trembled, a Daorhyme flowed down. In just a few breaths, he had already comprehended this Secret Tome of Concealing Divine Presence and Suppressing Aura to the introductory level.

Before obtaining it, he had been quite expectant,

believing that this method might have some profound aspects.

But after getting his hands on it, he found that it was just a Cultivation Technique purely for concealing and hiding, and he immediately lost interest.

Such a secret art might be extremely important for a Trash protagonist, useful for feigning weakness to ambush a tiger, but as a dignified Holy Land True Disciple, whose status was supreme, why would he need such a secret art to hide his identity and needlessly lose his standing?

Therefore, this method was insignificant to him.

Instead, Zhao Chan

was Chu Mo's greatest gain from this trip.

Chapter 38: Heading to Tai'an Imperial City, Seventh Princess Ling Baishuang

A day later,

Chu Mo decided to leave.

Having obtained the Opportunity in Tai'an Prefecture this time, he naturally wouldn't stay here any longer.

As for Xu Lingguang, after all the secrets and good things in his possession were extracted, he was killed by Elder Shaoguang with a single palm strike.

Although Zhao Chuan was a bit reluctant, he could only see them off.

Before their departure,

he repeatedly exhorted Zhao Chan to serve Chu Mo well and not to be negligent or careless.

“Father, rest assured, your daughter understands,”

Zhao Chan said obediently.

After bidding farewell to the Zhao Family, Chu Mo took Zhao Chan and left Tai'an Prefecture.

Inside the carriage,

Chu Mo and Zhao Chan sat, while Elder Shaoguang drove, asking, “Young Master, are we returning to the Holy Land?”

“No hurry.”

“First, let's go to the Imperial Capital of the Tai'an Dynasty.”

Chu Mo said.

He still remembered that in Zhang Fan's third Opportunity, he encountered a mysterious woman who was the Seventh Princess of the Tai'an Dynasty. She held a Secret Realm with a mysterious Opportunity that could forge a superior Physique.

However, the information about this Opportunity was not detailed, and Chu Mo didn't know when Zhang Fan encountered the Seventh Princess.

Instead of waiting idly, it was better to openly travel to the Imperial Capital; perhaps he might encounter her.

“The Imperial Capital?”

Elder Shaoguang was surprised, but said nothing, directly driving the carriage and flying through the air.

...

The Tai'an Dynasty, located in the North Continent of the Eastern Wang Dao Domain, was the largest Imperial Dynasty in the North Continent, governing a territory of hundreds of millions of miles. It was subordinate to the Taichu Holy Land, and each generation's Imperial Lord would present a national letter to the Holy Land upon ascension to show submission.

The status of its Imperial Lord was equivalent to a Holy Land True Disciple.

Tai'an Imperial City

was the Imperial Capital of the Dynasty. As the most prosperous giant city in the North Continent, it was home to tens of millions of common people.

By the time Chu Mo arrived here, it was already seven days later.

As soon as he entered the city, he attracted countless gazes.

The man was handsome and upright, like a bright moon, transcendent and refined, while the woman had skin like ice and bones like jade, with a pure and beautiful appearance, like a Fairy from the Moon Palace descending to the mortal world.
