If the Huidong Commerce Association were to discover that the Spirit Lake Wanderer had lost contact, it could lead to complications.
So, Xiao Chen immediately dealt with the Spirit Lake Wanderer, changed direction, and headed for Guardian Immortal Mountain to the southeast.
Guardian Immortal Mountain was where the Huidong Commerce Association's headquarters was located. It was about 1,800 li from his current position, situated at the border between the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers and the Lingyuan Sect.
Speaking of which, it was actually quite close to the territory now controlled by the Divine Fire Sect.
However, it was not on their invasion route because it only had a Tier One Spirit Vein and no important Spirit Ore mines.
The occasional scattered Demon Cultivator raids were no match for the Commerce Association's guards.
