The task chosen by Chen Dengming was a joint task among the three sects.
Precisely because the three sects united and sent out the best of the best, the risks were equally shared and not considered dangerous.
However, the mission to be carried out, because it goes deep into the battlefield, requires destroying many magic circles in the demon cultivator camp, so it has absolutely nothing to do with safety.
However, Chen Dengming had been reminded by Guan Chao and knew that even if this mission was dangerous, the three sects would be responsible for it.
Knowing this news, Chen Dengming knew what was going on.
It seems that the appearance of Qiu Feng is no accident.
It's just that he has to pretend not to know so as not to reveal his flaws.
However, regarding his own mission, he didn't know which route he had chosen. He could only think about the worst and prepare for the worst according to his personal personality and habits.
After leaving the Longevity Hall, Chen Dengming and Qiu Feng met outside the hall, and the two simply gathered for a while.
"After this mission, hurry up and break through to the golden elixir." Qiu Feng reminded.
Chen Dengming nodded, "I have been seizing the time to practice."
Qiu Feng said, "It stands to reason that you should have entered the list of candidates for longevity species, but you probably just joined the sect not long ago and we haven't notified you yet.
After this mission, it should be soon."
Chen Dengming was startled, then smiled and said, "I don't really care about this."
"Got to care."
Qiu Feng suddenly looked solemn and said, "Don't think that just because you have obtained a scaled claw from the human-immortal orthodoxy, you don't have to care about the immortal orthodoxy.
You have already tasted the benefits of the Human Immortal Way, and the Heavenly Immortal Way is not bad either. Even the Heavenly Immortal Way of my longevity sect is relatively complete, which will be of great benefit to you in the future.
Have you forgotten the advantages of our longevity sect? "
"longevity?"
Chen Dengming nodded with understanding, "I heard that the Tiandao Sect also has the Celestial Dao lineage. Is their Celestial Dao lineage different?"
Qiu Feng nodded, "There are differences. In fact, there are also differences in the human and immortal orthodoxy you come into contact with. There may be differences between your orthodoxy and that of the evil star."
Chen Dengming nodded, his mind wandering.
Qiu Feng glanced at Chen Denming and said, "Think it over carefully. Sometimes you have to stop and sometimes you have to rush. There is still a long way to go, so you should rush.
Even after becoming a golden elixir, it’s not too late for you to fight for orthodoxy.
This is also a kind of competition. I think among the fake elixirs of the longevity sect, there are already people who are working hard to break through the golden elixir and surpass you. "
Chen Dengming nodded, "Sect leader, I understand."
Even though he said that, he was still not too persistent in his heart.
Sometimes, the more you want something, the less likely you are to get it.
The lineage of human immortality had once brought him a lot of trouble.
The Celestial Immortal Taoist Tradition may cause quite a lot of trouble.
The reason why Qiu Feng wanted him to win it was probably because he had not won it in the first place and had high hopes for him.
But he didn't want to use his limited energy to get involved in many intrigues and troubles. He just wanted to practice quietly.
In fact, this is also his biggest advantage. There is no bottleneck in his cultivation. Now his qualifications are not bad, and his combat power is even more powerful.
As long as the realm is broken through, many things may fall into place naturally.
At this time, allocate your energy to deliberate management, but it will be a waste of time.
However, he would naturally not say these words to refute Qiu Feng.
The other party is also a person who tells the truth, and it is also for his own good.
The two chatted for a few more words. From Qiu Feng's relaxed tone, Chen Dengming vaguely sensed the information he wanted and felt relieved.
Some things don’t need to be said clearly.
Just by observing the words and expressions, he already knew the result.
After the two separated.
Chen Dengming returned to the cave and informed He Yingyu of the sect's mission arrangements, saying that he did not need to worry about safety and letting him relax.
The two were about to separate, so naturally they couldn't help themselves that night.
After practicing crazily together.
Chen Dengming was ready to set off early the next morning.
"Bring my treasure bag with you. My mission this time is relatively simple and safe, so I don't need a treasure bag."
When it was time to see him off, He Yingyu took out his treasure bag and said.
Chen Dengming saw the worry hidden in his beautiful eyes, but he accepted it with a smile to reassure him.
Now He Yingyu also has two magic weapons, and he is also a fake elixir overhaul. He has good combat power. He is sitting in the immortal cultivating family, and there will indeed be no danger.
After parting, we arrived in front of the mountain gate.
Only then did they realize that a huge fourth-level spirit boat had stopped at the mountain gate. Many longevity sect disciples were boarding the spirit boat, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Another group of disciples and foundation-building monks are about to set off for the battlefield.
On the deck of the spirit boat, Yang Zidao and others were standing out.
When I saw Chen Dengming, I immediately flew over to say hello warmly.
"Junior Brother Chen, are you going on a mission too? Going to a far away place?"
Chen Dengming smiled and shook his head, "Senior Brother Yang, my mission needs to be kept secret."
Yang Zidao smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "That's right. Look at my mouth, I like to ask random questions."
Miao Yun smiled and bowed, "I won't ask so many questions. I wish you immediate success, Junior Brother Chen."
Chen Dengming thanked him politely, and suddenly noticed a familiar gaze in the crowd below, which seemed to be paying attention to him.
He looked down and saw a thin and bright woman's face.
Chen Dengming was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and called out his name, "Junior Sister Yang, long time no see."
Yang Zidao and others lowered their heads in surprise. Seeing that Chen Dengming was paying attention to a junior sister who was in the middle stage of foundation building, they couldn't help but smile.
Yang Lan on the deck over there was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect Chen Dengming to take the initiative to call her, so she immediately flew out, bowed and saluted, and forced a smile on her face.
Chen Dengming noticed his embarrassment and said politely, "Junior Sister Yang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. By the way, I met Senior Brother Cao in the sect two years ago. Where are the others? Let's get together again when we come back another day."
The smile on Yang Lan's face froze, and her fair face became even paler.
"Senior Brother Cao? That Cao?"
Yang Zidao was surprised, then suddenly realized and regretted, "Junior brother Chen, are you talking about Cao Yan? He was already on the battlefield a year ago. Hey."
"What?" Chen Dengming's body was shaken, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes were shocked.
"It turns out to be Cao Yan. He is about to break through the fake elixir. What a pity." Miao Fei also sighed.
Yang Lan also regained consciousness at this time, exhaled and forced a smile, "Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, for remembering Senior Brother Cao. Two years ago, he told me that you were a righteous man and willing to help him. It's a pity that, alas, everyone has different opinions." There is a destiny.”
Chen Dengming recalled the scene when he met Cao Yan two years ago. At that time, old friends reunited, and he returned the favor and was very happy.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for just two years, we have become separated from each other.
Chen Dengming shook his head regretfully and asked, "How did Senior Brother Cao die?"
Yang Lan's beautiful eyes shone with light of pain and hatred, and said, "It's the fake elixir of the Soul-Eating Sect, He Li."
"It's him?"
Chen Dengming suddenly remembered the late-stage foundation-building monks who had left a deep impression on him. At that time, the opponent formed an army to resist the attack of a group of them.
Speaking of Zhu Xun's ghost, he found it from the opponent's soul-guiding flag.
Chen Dengming shook his head with emotion, comforted Yang Lan, said goodbye to Yang Zidao and others, and turned to leave.
There are lives and deaths on the battlefield, but the person who died was his friend, so it will inevitably make people sigh and hate the murderer, but now that the matter has come to this, one can only accept the reality.
Chen Dengming summoned the third-level intermediate spiritual boat [Wupeng Flying Boat] that he had exchanged for his military exploits.
This boat is brown in color and is as small as a walnut. The body of the boat is carved with extremely fine and beautiful formations.
It looks a bit like the walnut-carved boat recorded in the previous life's "Nuclear Boat Chronicle". After conveying spiritual energy, it will be able to catch the wind and thrive.
His clothes were flying, he flew over it, took out three high-grade spiritual crystals and inserted them into the spirit boat formation. The spirit boat's escape speed immediately accelerated, and it flew away in an instant.
The escape speed of a third-level intermediate spirit boat is much faster than that of a low-level spirit boat.
It can fly more than three thousand miles in half an hour.
After this Wu-Peng Flying Boat can escape into the clouds, activate the silencing and concealment formation, and then reduce its escape speed, its concealment will be extremely strong, and most of the roaring sound will be suppressed.
Nearly two hours later.
It was approaching dusk.
The spirit boat flew to the destination recorded in the mission, which was in the mountains near the southwest of the Eastern Territory.
The setting sun slanted over from the west side of the mountain, covering everything below in a blur of rose color.
Chen Dengming collected the spirit boat in the air, then controlled the magic sword, used the golden escape technique to escape into the light of the sword, and landed silently.
In the mountains below, two figures have been waiting for a long time.
I saw a blade of light approaching furtively.
One of the figures walked out with a smile, "Brother Chen Dao, you have come so late and are you still so cautious?"
The sword flashed.
Chen Dengming exited the Golden Escape Technique, and his figure walked out of the sword light and slowly landed, bowing his head in mid-air with a surprised smile.
"Brother Qiao, long time no see! I didn't expect that the person sent by Tiandao Sect this time would be you."
The tall figure speaking below was clearly Qiao Zhaoxian.
"Come, let me introduce to you. This is Gao Lingxiao, one of the contemporary swordsmen candidates of Shujian Pavilion. You should have heard of him."
Qiao Zhaoxian raised his hand to a figure behind him and introduced, "Fellow Taoist Gao has been interested in you for a long time."
"I'm just interested in discussing things face to face. Fellow Daoist Qiao, you have to make it clear."
The figure behind said with a smile, his face turned red, and he stepped out.
But I saw that she was wearing a lake-green robe that looked like a tight-fitting samurai uniform. She was heroic, bright and moving, and had a feminine charm and shyness. She was actually a woman.
Chen Dengming was not only a little surprised, but the mission information did not give any information about the members of other sects who were cooperating this time.
It turns out that the third person who cooperated was actually the candidate for the sword of Shujian Pavilion, plus Qiao Zhaoxian. This task is not easy. It won't be a task of taking the initiative to solve troubles, right?
But on the face of it, he still bowed politely with a smile, "Hello, Taoist friend Gao, I am Chen Dengming. I have heard about the legend of swordsmanship in your Shujiange for a long time, and I admire you very much!"
Gao Lingxiao smiled, held his sword, and performed the swordsman's salute, looking heroic and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, thank you for the award. I have heard of your name for a long time. It is also an honor for me to perform the mission with you this time."
"Okay, if you want to compliment each other, let's do it slowly on the way. Let's set off first and talk slowly on the way."
Qiao Zhaoxian laughed and glanced at Chen Dengming, faintly observing that Chen Dengming's strength should have improved in the past two years.
But it should still be some time before the golden elixir is broken through.
The three of them soon got ready to set off again.
Seeing that the spirit boat Qiao Zhaoxian took out was also a third-level intermediate level, Chen Dengming secretly thought that this old Qiao really had a lot of spare money and gave up the idea of using his own spirit boat.
After the spirit boat took off, Qiao Zhaoxian took out a war zone map, spread it out, pointed to several locations at the junction of the northern and southern regions, and said solemnly.
"This is the location of the magic circle we are going to destroy this time. You have all seen the mission information. It is guarded by several demon cultivator family forces and small sects. It is best for us to act separately and at the same time. After destroying it in one fell swoop, we will evacuate. .”
Chen Dengming stared at several positions, frowned and said, "The problem is that there are four magic circles, but there are only three of us. Why don't more people come down from above?"
Gao Lingxiao smiled slightly, hugged his sword and said, "Probably because among the sects in the Eastern Region, except for the three of us under the Golden Core, it is difficult for others to complete this task quickly alone.
In other words, there are other tasks that only a few people can do. "
Qiao Zhaoxian nodded and said solemnly, "And Brother Chen Dao, you should have heard about what I went through half a year ago.
There are too many people here, so it may not necessarily be safe. Before we got together, we didn’t know who we were going to work with.
But looking at it now, I’m afraid this task is not that simple.”
Chen Dengming's eyes flashed and he sensed something in Qiao Zhaoxian's tone.
It seems that in the alliance of various sects in the Eastern Region, there are also many insiders in the demon cultivator camp.
He couldn't help but think of Li Yue.
However, the longevity sect gave him the right to choose freely, and he was able to choose the task of teaming up with Qiao Zhaoxian and Gao Lingxiao at once.
Can this be said to be lucky or unlucky?
"The fourth magic circle is closest to me. After I finished dealing with the third magic circle, I immediately rushed to the fourth magic circle."
Qiao Zhaoxian tapped his fingers on the map and said, "If you are fast, how about rushing to the fourth magic circle immediately?"
Qiao Zhaoxian still likes to take charge of everything, and is the first to respond when something happens, as if he is taking the lead.
Chen Dengming and Gao Lingxiao looked at each other and had no objection.
But Chen Dengming quickly asked, "Brother Qiao, this mission has now brought the three of us together. Do you think it is possible that we will encounter the golden elixir from the demon cultivator camp like you did last time?"
Qiao Zhaoxian frowned, shook his head slowly and said, "It's hard to say, but I don't think you will take it lightly, Brother Chen Dao, for ordinary golden elixirs. Are you worried about the late-stage golden elixir protectors of the Demon Kingdom?"
"Why don't you take it seriously? I don't dare to be so arrogant."
Chen Dengming complained in his heart, but on the surface he mainly asked about the late-stage protector of Jindan in the Demon Kingdom.
After all, the ordinary initial stage overhaul of the golden elixir was indeed difficult to threaten his life.
Jindan mid-stage overhaul takes action. He distances himself and uses the third-level intermediate spirit boat, so he may not be able to escape.
But if it encounters a late-stage overhaul of the golden elixir, it will be a big trouble.
Qiao Zhaoxian shook his head, "Jindan's later major repairs are the subject of much attention.
Especially since I was attacked last time, the four golden elixir protectors of the Demon Kingdom have been closely watched by our sects in the Eastern Region, and there is a high probability that it will be difficult for them to suddenly appear in our mission this time.
After all, our mission information and personnel are confidential. Before the three of us met, we didn't know who each other was. "
Gao Lingxiao glanced at Chen Dengming and wondered why Brother Chen Dao, who killed the Golden Core Blazing Blood Demon, didn't have the spirit of a strong man at all.
However, considering that the other party was a monk from the longevity sect after all, she could still understand and seek common ground while reserving differences. She nodded and said with a smile, "As long as you move faster and retreat faster, it will be fine."
"Um."
Chen Dengming nodded, suddenly understanding why the sect was unwilling to tell him too much information.
The more you know, the more you can think.
Guan Chao told him some news in private. If Head Xing knew about it, he might even be punished.
There was no words for the rest of the journey, and a quarter of an hour later, the spirit boat crossed the Wanli border area that Chen Dengming was particularly familiar with, crossed the Mingyun Mountains, and arrived near the northern region where there is always ice and snow.
Now two years have passed, and the war is about to sweep into the Southern Territory just as the Blazing Blood Demon said.
However, because the Blazing Blood Demon was killed by Chen Dengming, the strategic intentions of the Demon Sect of the Western Region were discovered, and the sects of the Eastern Region also reacted quickly, taking precautions and striking back.
Therefore, the Demon Sect of the Western Region has not yet truly united with the sects of the Northern Region and invaded the Southern Region.
However, the Demon Sect of the Western Region has also begun to set up some evil magic circles on the border of the Northern Region in preparation for launching a war.
Their action this time was to destroy the magic circle and curb the Demon Sect of the Western Region's intention to unite with the sects of the Northern Region to invade the Southern Region.
"Brother Chen Dao, I heard that you once walked out of the border of the Southern Territory. Isn't it the place you just passed by?"
Seeing that he was about to arrive at his destination, Gao Lingxiao checked the magic weapon while curiously communicating with Chen Dengming.
Chen Dengming was surprised, "Who said that? Now the monks outside have even made my birthplace known to everyone?"
Gao Lingxiao was stunned, then smiled and said, "You are really vigilant. Not to mention that everyone knows about it. With your current reputation, any larger sect now may have information about you. Of course your birthplace is nothing." secret."
Chen Denming shook his head and was about to speak when Qiao Zhaoxian suddenly reminded him.
"We're here. If we go any further, we'll most likely encounter a patrol team of demonic cultivators. They'll conduct investigations even at high altitudes. We can no longer take the spirit boat, so we're all lurking."
Chen Dengming and Gao Lingxiao both nodded, and then Qiao Zhaoxian put away the spirit boat.
The three of them used their own methods to sneak into the forest below in a relatively unnoticed manner.
Half an hour later.
A demonic beast exuding bloody aura roared and opened its sharp claws to attack.
Chen Dengming pointed out expressionlessly.
The master's alchemy was cast instantly, easily solidifying the monster into metal.
Qiao Zhaoxian looked at the snow-covered mountains in the distance, then looked down at the war zone map, and said, "We will separate here, deal with three magic circles separately, and then gather at the fourth magic circle."
Chen Dengming nodded.
Gao Lingxiao raised the magic sword in his hand and said with a faint smile, "Let's see who is faster. Maybe I can reach the fourth magic circle faster than you, Brother Qiao."
Qiao Zhaoxian chuckled, "I believe Brother Chen Dao will be faster."
Chen Dengming pretended to be relaxed and said, "Then I would rather I was the slowest. You have solved the fourth magic circle, and I can go over and applaud you."
The three of them looked at each other, smiled, and then quickly separated.
Chen Dengming made a secret, used the master-level wood escape technique, and quickly escaped through the mountains and forests, approaching his destination.
Hundreds of miles away.
Under the pale moonlight, the mountain road on a hillside was covered with strips of residual snow, which was melting quietly and shining with a dark gray cold light.
On some rocks, long ice skates hang like crystal daggers.
A gust of cold wind roared past, causing pain to the skin.
Several bursts of wild and wanton laughter ripped through the cold wind, mixed with the shrill cries of women and the hysterical roars of men. It was extremely frightening, as if demons were doing cruel and inhumane things in the world.
Soon, the roaring stopped.
The woman's cries gradually became muffled in the wind.
In the cold wind, suppressed beast roars, rampant laughter, and evil curses were mixed together and came from the chaotic figures gathered in the light of the formation.
A pair of cold eyes observed the situation over there from a distance.
"There are more than a hundred people, most of them are in the Qi training stage, and there are about two people building foundations, but there is a very strong monster among them, and the aura seems to be comparable to a fake elixir."
Chen Dengming was sitting on the crown of a towering tree. He escaped into it and observed the scene thousands of feet away with the clairvoyance weapon in the Heyingyu Hundred Treasure Bag.
In his opinion, what was stationed in front was a group of demon cultivators with very scattered disciplines. They might be a combination of two demon cultivator families, or a small sect.
It is different from some Chinese depictions of evil heretics that are very free and uninhibited.
These demonic cultivators in front of them are the real evil heretics, and they are doing extremely evil things to the captured prisoners, which can even be said to be cruel.
Chen Dengming calmed down for a while and continued to observe.
Through the magic weapon, I saw that the center of the magic cultivation array in front seemed to be an array altar.
The middle part of the altar is hollow, and there are a large number of weird and evil lumps squirming in it, like giant locusts.
At this time, several demon cultivators picked up some prisoners and threw them directly into the altar, ignoring their screams.
Those squirming lumps like locusts suddenly opened their large mouths full of sharp teeth and fangs, swallowing up the prisoners thrown in.
"Gu? Is it a Gu Dao family or sect?"
Chen Dengming frowned.
At this time, there was a slight movement from the storage bag, and the sound transmission jade talisman conveyed the news that Qiao Zhaoxian was in place.
Not long after, news came from Gao Lingxiao.
He immediately conveyed the 'do it' message to the two of them.
After the news came out, Chen Dengming made a seal, and the magical sword flew out with a whoosh and walked close to the ground.
His figure quickly escaped into the light of the sword and galloped forward.
Within the magic circle.
Beside a haystack, two demon cultivators grabbed the necks of two women with a grin, and then activated an evil special magic weapon, trying to penetrate the women's bodies, take out what they needed, and then slowly enjoy it.
However, at this moment, a lightning-like brilliance flashed before their eyes.
"what?"
The two of them raised their heads alertly at the same time.
A clear "click" sound was heard in his ears, and the magic circle that could withstand the full force attack of the fake elixir overhaul more than a dozen times was instantly destroyed by a ray of silver light.
The two of them were shocked and opened their mouths to shout.
The bright silver sword light passed by almost instantly.
One man's body trembled, and his forehead was penetrated by a sharp knife tip.
Before the other person could scream, the tip of the knife turned like a snake and passed directly through his face.
'Plop——'
Two figures fell to the ground.
The magic circle, which was like a giant sea bowl lying upside down on the ground, was dimmed by the gap, which immediately attracted the attention of the demon cultivators in the venue.
When the crowd was in a commotion, they saw a sharp sword light bursting out with silver light, like a dragon and snake, moving through the crowd with unparalleled speed. Whenever it bumped into someone, someone would die.
Even at the moment of being attacked, the sword light exploded and turned into thousands of silver swords, arousing snow-white light and sharp energy, harvesting the lives of many demon cultivators like autumn wheat.
"How brave!"
"stop!"
Two roars followed by a huge beast roar suddenly came from the mountains behind.
With a bang, a lake full of solid ice was shattered.
Countless ice shards and water splashes were everywhere.
A monster beast whose body was covered with terrifying tumor-like muscles rushed out of the water. Four huge fleshy wings grew on its back, and its thick legs and claws had sharp claws like knife tips.
This behemoth was more than ten feet long, including its tail. It had no hair on its body. Its long and narrow head was like a bat, with its fangs staggered and slightly exposed, but there were two curved horns growing on its head.
A pair of scarlet eyes, full of cruelty, stared at the raging sword light, flapped the four wings on its back, and suddenly rolled up the air wave and rushed over.
