(Apologies for asking for monthly tickets)_2 Chapter 118: 078: If there is a Martial Immortal secret, how can it be found in the human world?
(Apologies for asking for monthly tickets)_2 “Brother Chen, rest assured, I’m more familiar with this surrounding area than the Ming family is,” Zhu said confidently.
…
Chen Dengming lowered his gaze to the fallen figure of Nangong Yun after Zhu Xun’s hurried departure.
His eyes slightly narrowed, reflecting a deep and inscrutable emotion.
Why had Nangong Yun left the Yingyue Sect to diligently seek him out?
...
It can only mean trouble or revenge.
This lad, aware of his secret and bearing a grudge against him, couldn’t be allowed to live.
However, how to deal with this delicately was something that needed careful consideration.
Chen Dengming pondered for a while, and after confirming through his link with the Mini Array Spirit that no one was secretly observing them, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He immediately dragged the barely alive Nangong Yun into the courtyard and used the Skill of Transforming Decrepitude into Glory to save his life.
Following which, he removed the magic artifact and storage bag from Nangong Yun’s body and hid them in the backyard water tank.
After a while…
Chen Dengming discarded a fresh green twig and started to apply the “Water Shadow Wood Poison Gu Skill.”
The twig exploded instantly in his hand, emitting a large amount of poisonous gas resembling fungal spores.
Under Chen Dengming’s manipulation of Wood Element spiritual energy, the gas spread over Nangong Yun’s body.
Soon, the gaseous poisonous spores seeped into his body through his pores, infiltrating his nerves like tiny transparent fish threads.
The spore-like poison infiltrated his flesh and blood, sprouting roots.
Nangong Yun began to shudder uncontrollably.
His face convulsed in pain, and he slowly opened his red-veined eyes.
When he saw Chen Dengming’s figure, he looked startled, then glanced around and let out a bitter laugh.
He spoke weakly, “Nanxun Blade King…Impressive, impressive.
I just found you, yet I fell into your hands?
The guy who beat me to this state, who is he?”
“So, the kid has determined my identity…” Chen Dengming murmured quietly to himself, then calmly replied, “Who he is doesn’t matter.
What matters is why you left the Yingyue Sect to find me.
Did you plan to avenge your grandfather, Nangong Shuo?”
“Avenge him?”
Nangong Yun showed a complex smile of mockery and self-ridicule, laying in the water tank, “Maybe, but it’s more…a sense of dissatisfaction and inquiry.
I want to find answers from you.”
“Find the answer from me?” Chen Dengming’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Nangong Yun’s spirit lifted, the madness in his red-veined eyes aimed at Chen Dengming, “Exactly!
Your…your power?
The guy who seriously injured me was strong, but he respected you a lot, called you Brother Dao, what kind of strength do you have now?
In the sect, I was nurtured by the old ancestor and the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment.
They even pointed me on the Path of the Martial Immortal—the Path of the Demon Star.
I even took the Qianyuan Pill, that’s how I got my current strength.
How could you cultivate faster than me?”
“The Path of the Martial Immortal—the Path of the Demon Star?”
Chen Dengming was puzzled.
Who was the Demon Star?
“There’s nothing to be curious about.”
He regained his composure and said lightly, “Did you forget the Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill?
The most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on freёwebnovel.com.
After using this skill to forcibly improve my Spiritual Root by shortening my lifespan, I had some other opportunities.
It’s normal for me to cultivate faster than you.
I exchanged lifespan for cultivation.”
“No…
no, it’s impossible.
Even if you have a top-quality Spiritual Root, you can’t cultivate this quickly.”
Nangong Yun’s pupils contracted, then his eyes shot out a bright light, “You have secrets.
You definitely have secrets.
Have you already touched the Path of the Martial Immortal?
You are the Nanxun Blade King, possessing exceptional martial arts talents.
Now you’ve grown so much stronger, you must have more hope of touching the Path of the Martial Immortal than me.
If you tell me the method, I have my own information and connections.
We can cooperate, we can turn the enemy into a friend, and we can win together!”
Chen Dengming frowned, looking at obviously emotionally unstable Nangong Yun.
He pondered and asked, “What exactly is the Path of the Martial Immortal, and who is this Demon Star?”
Nangong Yun spoke with urgency, “The Path of the Martial Immortal uses martial arts to mobilize nature’s spiritual energy and unleash martial strength comparable to Daoist magic.
It’s called Divine Skills.
The reason these sects jointly host the Ascension Convention is because of the Demon Star who emerged from the Nanxun Kingdom in the past.
That Demon Star was very terrifying.
He reportedly killed a Nascent Soul cultivator when he was in the late-stage Golden Core, causing a sensation and leading to a joint encirclement and suppression by many sects.
He may be involved in a major matter…”
As his words trailed off, Nangong Yun suddenly stopped speaking.
He stared intently at Chen Dengming, whose face had subtly changed, and said, “It seems you also know something?
Have you already touched it?
Tell me, tell me what that feeling is…”
Chen Dengming’s eyes narrowed, his face gradually returned to normal as he formed hand signs and began an incantation.
Suddenly, Nangong Yun felt his body was out of control.
His eyelids involuntarily closed, and his mouth automatically shut too, he could only manage to make a ‘woo woo’ sound.
In the end, he couldn’t even make a ‘woo woo’ sound.
His skin appeared to have countless fine threads like hair sprouting beneath it.
These poisonous gas threads spread throughout his whole body, deeply binding his nerves, rendering his entire body as a marionette controlled by countless threads, helpless to resist.
“High-level Dao methods are powerful, but they consume a lot of spiritual energy…
To completely control a fourth-level Qi Cultivator like this, it actually depleted 20% of my spiritual energy…”
Feeling the loss of his spiritual energy, Chen Dengming shook his head, picked up the lid of the water tank, covered it and turned to leave.
After controlling Nangong Yun with the “Water Shadow Wood Poison Gu Skill”, as long as he didn’t actively withdraw the deeply rooted poisonous threads from within the other party’s body, he would be under his control and unable to act of his own volition.
But this kind of Dao method would of course continuously consume his spiritual energy.
