"After just one trip, a third-level low-level spirit boat was destroyed. Beiling Sect even did not hesitate to use some means to use the power of True Lord Nascent Soul to deal with me. This is too cruel."
Changshou Sect, inside the Changshou Peak Cave Mansion.
Chen Dengming glanced at the little formation spirit who had entered the soul room to rest, walked out of the retreat room, looked at the cold moonlight outside the window, and couldn't help feeling a little painful.
Even though he was much richer now, he lost a third-level low-level spirit boat in one trip. Even if he was compensated at the second-hand price, it was a loss of nearly a thousand high-grade spiritual crystals.
But to say whether it is worth it, it is actually worth it.
At least I unintentionally tested Beiling Sect's methods. Knowing how powerful they are, I can be prepared next time.
"Beiling Sect's methods look even more ruthless. The mid-stage Golden Core cultivators can mobilize the power of the Nascent Soul, and their strength may exceed that of the ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivators. The longevity order is instantly outclassed."
Chen Dengming walked into the hall, picked up a cup of cold tea and took a sip to calm down, frowning deeply.
The limelight hasn't passed yet, it's still too dangerous outside, so we need to avoid the limelight.
He and Liang Zi of Beiling Sect were close friends, not to mention there was a more powerful Demon Kingdom.
Fortunately, he sent a clone to go out to do something, and he didn't just show his face directly.
However, after this time, not only was the secret of the Beiling Sect able to make the Jindan monks mobilize the power of the Nascent Soul exposed, but the secret of his clone was also exposed.
Next time if these enemies plan to deal with him again, I am afraid they will be more cautious and thorough.
"I wonder how the monk named She Xineng who was chasing me is doing now? How much power of the Nascent Soul can he still mobilize? Has he been surrounded and killed by the monks from the southern region who are reinforcing him?"
The last scene transmitted from the clone to his mind via telepathy was that She Xi was able to forcefully leave the Yinquan by relying on the power of Nascent Soul.
The scene ends there, and the clone Bai Mao is really "white hair floating on green water" and disappears in the Yinquan.
However, Chen Dengming speculated that the Yin Spring water was so powerful that it could even freeze the power of human immortals. Even if She Xineng could escape with the power of the Nascent Soul, the power of the Nascent Soul in her body would still be greatly depleted.
This does not mean that the power of the Nascent Soul is stronger than the power of human immortals.
It may also be that Yinquan is a holy land of ghosts, and it may be even more repulsive to powers that are not from this way.
"Junior brother, what's wrong? Are you going to end your practice so soon tonight?"
At this time, He Yingyu's lazy and slightly charming voice came from the back room of the cave.
Chen Dengming was quite upset, shook his head, and informed He Yingyu of the matter.
"What's so annoying about this? Junior Brother, you just lost some money and a clone, and we ruined a conspiracy plan of the enemy. I think this is a lesson bought with money."
A gust of fragrant wind blew by, and He Yingyu's tall figure wearing a tulle skirt appeared at the door of the back room.
She has a high bun on her temples, a slender figure, and an elegant and noble temperament. At this time, she is leaning on the doorpost, and her pair of water-cut eyes are lovingly focusing on Chen Dengming's burly back, making her look elegant and graceful.
"Sister, you are right, that's exactly what I think."
Chen Dengming smiled calmly.
Suddenly I remembered that the Beiling Sect Golden Pill asked for the relics of the Holy Son of Beiling, and I couldn't help but feel that there might be something fishy in this.
Among the relics of the Holy Son of Beiling, there may be things that the Beiling Sect attaches great importance to.
He Yingyu smiled, "Junior brother, don't worry! If you keep smiling, good luck will come naturally!"
"Sister, you are good at comforting people."
Chen Dengming put down the tea cup in his hand, and suddenly felt the sound jade talisman vibrate slightly. He immediately picked it up and transferred it to his spiritual consciousness to check and browse.
"Junior Brother Chen, you have made meritorious deeds again this time. The monk in the middle stage of Golden Core of Beiling Sect who is chasing you is named She Xineng.
This person was severely injured by Zhuang Fangyu and others who had just arrived from the Southern Territory. His body was damaged, and only his soul escaped. "
Chen Dengming looked happy when he heard this.
Okay, Lao Zhuang.
I suddenly gave him a surprise.
He immediately sent a message, "Brother, head, how should this credit be calculated? Is it enough to offset the damage to the spiritual boat in the sect?"
"Haha. Of course it is enough. Although junior brother, you did not participate in the main battle, you were the key to drawing the enemy out, and you also provided key information that the opponent could use the power of the Nascent Soul.
According to my many years of experience, you should be able to share one-third of the credit, which is more than 3,000 battle credits. "
Chen Dengming felt relieved after hearing this.
More than three thousand battle merits can be exchanged for a new third-level low-level spirit boat. To offset the second-hand ship of the sect, seventeen or eight hundred battle merits are enough.
In other words, this time he made money without losing money.
Of course, the most important thing is to let the enemy steal the chicken but lose the rice this time, and the trap is successful, which is very relieved.
"Junior brother, how are you?" He Yingyu looked at Chen Dengming's relaxed expression and couldn't help but ask.
Chen Dengming laughed and said, "If you smile often, good luck will come naturally. Senior sister, you are really a lucky star. The guy who is chasing me is unlucky."
He turned to look at He Yingyu who was leaning on the doorpost behind him.
At this time, a gust of night wind blew up, lifting He Yingyu's open skirt, revealing her snowy legs, and her smooth skin shone under the moonlight, which was quite attractive.
This senior sister seemed to be deliberately concave, waiting for him to turn around and take a look.
Chen Dengming couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Senior sister, are you serious?"
"Come on! Why don't you come?"
He Yingyu changed her usual graceful and elegant calm demeanor, her cheeks were flushed, her beautiful eyes were smoky and she looked at her charmingly, and gave him a charming and angry look.
"Are you tired of practicing?"
Chen Dengming smiled naively, "I'm not tired of it. How can I be tired of it if I'm not tired of it?"
afterwards.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Chen Dengming had received the exact news of the distribution of military exploits.
However, along with this news, the situation in the four regions suddenly became more tense.
When Chen Dengming rushed to the merit hall and took away part of the war merits to compensate for the sect's spirit boat, he was grabbed by Elder Ran and reminded him.
"Junior Brother Chen, according to the reliable information obtained from the front line, Beiling Sect may really be unable to sit still this time. Our Lady of Beiling has taken the initiative to propose to the Four Regions United Presbyterian Council to challenge our sect Yuanying.
Once the United Presbyterian Church approves the challenge of Our Lady of Beiling, our ancestors will have to accept the challenge."
Chen Dengming was slightly surprised.
Is the Madonna of Beiling, this crazy old woman, so ruthless?
He actually wanted to challenge the three Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Changshou Sect.
"What good does this do to her? Just for revenge? To regain the face of the sect?"
Chen Dengming was puzzled.
Even though the war has developed for so many years, the number of battles between Nascent Souls is not that many and can be counted on two hands.
Whenever there is a battle between powerful Nascent Soul warriors, it is often a moment that affects one party's situation. However, the True Lord of Nascent Soul has a long lifespan and rarely engages in battles.
Elder Ran sighed and shook his head, "Junior brother Chen, you shouldn't have gone out this time. This is just a hornet's nest. The Holy Mother of Beiling seems to be targeting you.
Battles between Nascent Soul Lords are often about resolving huge conflicts of interest. The winner will receive profit bonuses, but this time Our Lady of Beiling only asks that the sect hand you over after winning! This is a rare request. "
"Hand me over?" Chen Dengming was shocked and had wrinkles on his forehead.
Is this Holy Mother serious?
Elder Ran glanced sideways and said, "Not only the Holy Mother of Beiling, but also the Prince of Mosha from Mosha Kingdom will probably get involved and challenge our Changshou Sect to fight. This situation is now a bit troublesome.
The leader of the Demon Kingdom has been depressed so far, and he is probably planning some big move. "
Chen Dengming was also depressed after hearing this.
He was not the only one who joined forces to kill the Protector Shasha.
Going a step further, it was not the plan of the longevity sect family to kill the prince of the Demon Temple and seriously injure the protector of the Blood Temple.
But now the finger points are pointed at the longevity sect. Do you think the longevity sect is easy to bully?
"In short, Junior Brother Chen, don't worry too much now. Even if the battle with the Holy Mother of Beiling is finally passed, the three ancestors of the sect will never hand you over even if they are defeated."
Elder Ran comforted him with a smile, then raised his eyebrows and reminded, "But you have to be prepared. You still have a lot of military exploits that are of no use. You should change to some life-saving things in the near future. If there is any trouble in the future, it is better to have someone." response."
Chen Dengming's heart sank.
Elder Ran is the oldest person in the sect and was once the same generation as the third ancestor.
On the surface, he, the Taoist Master of Longevity, is the person with the highest status in the sect besides the head.
But in fact, apart from Head Xing, Elder Ran is the highest in the sect in terms of seniority and authority.
What the other party is saying now may be because of anger with Xing Huiguang or even the ancestor, which proves that the situation is really not optimistic.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Ran, for reminding me. I understand."
Chen Dengming still smiled and thanked him, then asked Ran Yiqiang for the list of redemption items in the War Merit Hall, and returned to the cave with a heavy heart.
On the way, he met elder Zhu Guangbiao, and Chen Dengming greeted him politely.
Zhu Guangbiao slowed down and returned the greeting quickly, but hesitated and hesitated to speak.
Chen Dengming's heart moved, and he bowed in surprise, "What's the matter with Senior Brother Zhu?"
Zhu Guangbiao sighed, shook his head and said, "Junior brother Chen, you have been in the limelight enough these years. Chen Baimao's name is known to all the four regions.
But as the saying goes, if a tree is as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy it. As a smart person like you, it’s not that you don’t understand. You should keep a low profile and restrain yourself from now on. "
Chen Denming was startled, his eyebrows raised, and he looked unhappy. Zhu Guangbiao had obviously heard something.
Zhu Guangbiao's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly smiled and apologized, "Junior brother, don't blame me. I only reminded you out of concern, and I had no other intention."
Chen Dengming's face softened, and he bowed with a smile, "Senior brother, you are right, my longevity sect has always been independent of the world. In recent years, junior brother, I have been too popular outside, but I have caused trouble for you."
Zhu Guangbiao's face suddenly turned red and he felt embarrassed and hot. After hurriedly bowing and saying a few polite words, he shook his head and left with a sigh.
Chen Dengming watched him leave and continued flying forward, sighing secretly in his heart.
Human heart.
It is true that we can share wealth and honor, but not share adversity.
It has nothing to do with strength or class, it has nothing to do with people's hearts.
People in the arena involuntarily.
To say that in the past few years when he was out in the limelight, he was almost always in the process of performing his duties and was forced to fight back. There was almost no one where he took the initiative to stir up trouble.
Some of the things he accomplished also brought great benefits and glory to the sect.
For example, when he opened up wasteland, he made great contributions and became famous, which bought the longevity sect more time and space to make soy sauce. At that time, it was not that no one thought of him.
Another example is when he eliminated the Blazing Blood Demon, he became famous for his meritorious service, which made many outside sects no longer dare to underestimate the monks of the longevity sect, and they also knew how powerful the monks of the longevity sect were.
For example, destroying the magic circle to remove the bull-headed general, beheading the Holy Son of Beiling and killing the Dharma Protector. When did he take the initiative to find trouble, and when was he not forced to go through life and death, but also achieved extraordinary achievements?
But now that trouble is approaching, there are still people in the sect who deny all the credit he has done, thinking that he is chasing fame, wealth and limelight?
The more Chen Dengming thought about it, the more depressed he became. His face was gloomy and his head was flying.
"Your Highness Daozi!"
Suddenly, a voice as sweet as a lark came from behind.
Chen Dengming said coldly subconsciously, "What's the matter?"
He suddenly turned sideways, his eyes like cold electric frost knives falling on a female cultivator behind him.
The other party's delicate body suddenly trembled. Affected by the strong spiritual will unintentionally reflected in Chen Dengming's eyes, his face turned pale, his lips tightened, and he forced a smile.
"It's nothing. I, my nephew, just saw you and wanted to thank you for your kindness in avenging Senior Brother Cao."
Chen Dengming also came to his senses at this time, and saw clearly that the young and beautiful woman in front of him was Yang Lan, and he was horrified and alert.
What happened to him just now?
Based on his state of mind, he could have had such negative emotions for so long, even affecting his daily words and deeds. This is very inappropriate. It will create gaps and loopholes in his soul, which may turn into inner demons in the future.
This shouldn't be happening, at least not to him.
Could it be that a lot of mental energy has been devoted to condensing the clones recently, resulting in a weakened mental state and unstable mental state?
"It turns out to be you, Yang Lan!"
Chen Dengming gathered his thoughts, put a smile on his face, looked at Yang Land warmly and said, "I'm sorry, I just lost my composure because something unpleasant happened. I apologize to you."
His smile was contagious and his apology was genuine.
Yang Lan was immediately flattered. She relaxed and said with a smile, "Your Highness, Daozi, you said something. Everyone is in a bad mood. You don't need to apologize to me. It's my nephew who may have disturbed you. "
Chen Dengming shook his head and said, "I rarely lose my temper like this. You just said you thanked me for being Senior Brother Cao. In fact, there is no need to thank me. This happened to me, and Senior Brother Cao also helped me in the past."
Yang Lan relaxed completely after hearing this, knowing that Chen Dengming was still as kind as before, instead of having a drastic change of heart after his status improved.
She felt sincerely happy about this and said happily, "Your Highness Daozi, you are still as polite and humble as before. In fact, you have made so many contributions to the sect and the Eastern Region. Many people have to thank you, and you should accept it calmly."
Chen Denming was startled. He could see at a glance that Yang Lan's words came from the heart, and she was not lying to flatter him.
"Do you really think so? I thought that many disciples in the sect would be disgusted by me being so pushy recently."
"How could that be? That's so heartless. You are fighting for the interests and glory of the sect."
Chen Dengming was surprised that he was both criticized and praised today. He couldn't help but feel a little happy again, and the previous gloom gradually disappeared.
This human heart cannot be generalized.
Even Zhu Guangbiao may not be really targeting him, but he feels pressure and needs to vent. This is also human nature.
After all, once the three ancestors of the Longevity Sect are involved in the Nascent Soul War, if anything goes wrong, it will be a huge disaster for the entire Longevity Sect, and no one can remain calm.
"If anything happens to the three ancestors because of me, I will become a longevity ancestor in the future and shoulder this burden."
Thinking of this, Chen Dengming once again truly realized the meaning of the realm of "the way of heaven, which damages the excess but makes up for the deficiencies" in the immortal Taoism.
His state of mind merged with everything and returned to nature. The gap in his soul that was just born was instantly closed.
In the blink of an eye, my mood seemed to be sublimated again, and the mental energy that had been consumed before was restored and increased again.
After Chen Dengming smiled and communicated with Yang Lan for a moment, they parted ways and quickly returned to the cave.
Now that we are open-minded, no matter how dangerous the future may be, we should be prepared to look forward to progress.
The remaining 170,000 battle merit accumulated after killing the Holy Son of Beiling and the Protector of Shasha is now time to reasonably consume most of the weapons.
