After bidding farewell to the family elder, Yuan Shaoyuan excused himself to discuss important business matters, taking his two brothers with him. They left Black Cloud Mountain and, disguising their faces, hid outside Giant Tree Ridge.
It seemed as if fortune was favoring them.
They only waited half a month before Chen Mobai surprisingly left the Divine Wood Sect.
As he passed through a forest, they activated a Cloud Mist Talisman. This talisman wasn't offensive, but anyone who passed through its mist would be marked by an almost imperceptible smoky residue.
This colorless, odorless residue could linger for a month undetected, and only their specially crafted lens from the Yuan family could perceive it.
The trio observed the movement of the smoke from ten miles away. After following for half a day, they found that Chen Mobai had gone to a Fang Market.
This market was guarded by Qi Cultivation disciples from the Divine Wood Sect and also had their family's shops.
