Chapter 121: 79~80: The pit creature is refined from blood, the soul in the vat is controlled by the mycelium, a person traveling swiftly on the wind for thousands of miles (Two-in-one big chapter_2) Chapter 121: 79~80: The pit creature is refined from blood, the soul in the vat is controlled by the mycelium, a person traveling swiftly on the wind for thousands of miles (Two-in-one big chapter_2) The night was pitch dark, and the wind was not very high.
Chen Dengming moved like a ghost, following from a distance.
He had not been idle during the last two days.
While he was often out gathering information, he also observed the ebb and flow of people in the market during both day and night.
All these observations helped him formulate his escape plan.
At this time, Nangong Yun, following Chen’s instructions, quickly moved through the bustling Moonlight Market.
He deliberately knocked over a rice bag in front of a merchant’s shop as he passed not far from a few patrolling cultivators from the Luo Family.
...
The commotion immediately attracted their attention.
Nangong Yun suddenly increased his speed, using the Nangong Family’s movement technique.
He rushed through the bustling market and headed straight out of town.

The patrolling cultivators, who initially did not pay much attention, quickly reacted and followed in hot pursuit, evidently recognizing Nangong Yun’s identity.
No sooner did Nangong Yun fly out of the city that he activated his magic artifact, rising into the sky at a fast escape speed, swiftly leaving the scene and heading straight towards the nearby woods.
The patrolling cultivators from the Ming family only saw Nangong Yun’s escape light disappear into the woods, and they immediately chased after him, but they were obviously too slow.
No one noticed that, in another part of the sky, a slower escape light descended from a subtle angle.
…
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later.
Deep in the woods, Chen Dengming, with his master level Instrument Control Skill, manipulated Nangong Yun’s magic artifact, quietly bringing Nangong back to him and successfully shaking off the patrolling cultivators who had entered the woods.
After doing all this, Chen Dengming continued to lead Nangong Yun through the woods.
Eventually, they found a nest of a demonic beast that Chen had noticed during a previous hunt.
Chen manipulated Nangong Yun to walk straight into it.
“You shouldn’t have come looking for me.”
In the darkness, these words of regret had just left his mouth before a roar of a demonic beast that could shake the entire forest emanated from the cave.
Choosing the right angle, Chen ceremoniously cast some spells to fire a few large fireballs into the cave to create the illusion of a struggle.
Then he waited for a while, until he was sure that Nangong Yun was dead, before he removed the poison fungus and swiftly left the scene.
…
Later that night.
The Ming family was in shock, some cultivators quickly left the family and went to the site of Nangong Yun’s death near the demonic beast’s cave.
They killed the demonic beast on the spot, and then summoned Nangong Yun’s corpse from the cave.
The lost disciple of the Yingyue Sect was found.
However, he was shockingly found dead in a demonic beast’s cave.
According to the first patrolling cultivator from the Ming family who found his body, the missing Nangong Yun had suddenly appeared in the bustling Moonlight Market.
Then, the man quickly left the market, drove his artifact into the woods, eventually fought the demonic beast, and died in the beast’s mouth.
The whole incident was filled with oddness and mystery.
Had it not been for the identity card and other items found in the storage bag at the scene, as well as Nangong Yun’s clothes and some distinctive features of his appearance confirming the body as Nangong Yun’s, the Ming family would almost have thought that someone else had died.
But since the dead person was Nangong Yun, where had he been these past two days?
If he had been in the Moonlight Market all along, how could he not know that the Ming family had been searching for him?
To give an explanation to the Yingyue Sect, the Ming family decided to investigate all the mysteries related to this case, still pursuing the prime suspect, the meat seller Chu Xun!
However, before this, Chen Dengming had already packed up his belongings and Gu Pit, bid farewell to Boss Hu of the Business league store, and left Moonlight Market in a graceful manner.
He had long thought about leaving.
He had never hidden this intention from Boss Hu.
After all, some items needed along the way, such as the Beast Controlling Bag used to replace the Gu Pouch for placing the Gu Pit, needed to be purchased from Boss Hu’s store.
With this long preparation for departure, his exit today did not seem so abrupt.
…
After midnight.
Near a ravine about three hundred miles away from Moonlight Market.
Chen Dengming, who had been driving hard for over an hour, descended from his escape light and wanted to rest for a while at a supply point nearby.
This place was still within the range of the Ming Family’s influence but was already at the edge.
There were usually no cultivators in the woods on ordinary days.
When he and Chu Xun had hunted demonic beasts in the past, they had set up temporary resting stations between the surrounding forests, where they would hide some supplies like Spirit Rice.
Now, these places served as resting stations during his escape.
Given his current speed of flying with the aid of an artifact, he could fly one hundred miles at full speed in a quarter of an hour, but that consumed a great deal of spiritual energy.
If he maintained a steady flight at around one hundred and twenty miles per half hour, the spiritual energy consumption would be much less.
To ensure safety during the journey, Chen Dengming flew at full speed for the first quarter of an hour, followed by an hour of steady flight.
Doing so allowed him to cover three hundred miles and consumed about thirty per cent of his spiritual energy.
Even a cultivator at his ninth level of Qi Cultivation found this challenging; one could only imagine how slow a lower-level cultivator would be during long-distance travel.
A journey of thousands of miles was often a stop-and-start process, hard to complete in one go.
“Woof Woof Woof!”
Almost as soon as Chen Dengming descended from his escape light, a familiar dog’s bark echoed from the forest.
Chen Dengming froze and immediately looked towards the supply point below.
Sure enough, he saw a shady figure covered in weeds and tree branches peeking out from a very hidden crevice in the darkness below.
“Ah?
Could it be…
Chen…Fellow Cultivator?”
Chen Dengming, “…”
Life is full of unexpected encounters indeed.
He didn’t expect Chu Xun to still be in this area.
Was the guy really planning on waiting for the matter involving the Yingyue Sect’s disciple to calm down before returning?
Chen Dengming had thought that Chu Xun would have fled as far away as possible after leaving yesterday, perhaps going to another market and living under a new identity, say, a rice seller, and starting a new life.
