Chapter 122: 79~80: The pit creature is refined from blood, the soul in the vat is controlled by the mycelium, a person who can control the wind for thousands of miles (Two-in-one big chapter_3) Chapter 122: 79~80: The pit creature is refined from blood, the soul in the vat is controlled by the mycelium, a person who can control the wind for thousands of miles (Two-in-one big chapter_3) Only a fool would wait for things to simmer down before returning.
After all, returning would inevitably entail some risks.
For instance, if the disciple of the Yingyue Sect decided to stay at the Ming family’s premises to seek revenge after recovery, then what would happen?
As it turns out, it seems that Chu Xun is indeed a fool for hiding in the forests within the influence of the Ming family for so long.
Chen Dengming deactivated his Escape Light.
“Brother Chen, what’s going on?”
“Ah…
it’s a long story.
...
Fellow cultivator Zhu, after you left, I immediately treated the disciple of the Yingyue Sect.
Initially, everything was improving, the disciple was quickly recovering under my treatment.
Unexpectedly, while I was out yesterday, the person left the premises alone, even attracting the attention of the cultivators of the Ming family.
Fearing to be implicated, I had to flee overnight…”
Chu Xun was stunned, “How could this happen?
Why did he leave by himself?
And Chen, why did you run?
Afterall, you saved him.”
Chen Dengming frowned and shook his head, “You misunderstand, Daoist Zhu.
Although I did save him, I did that only to cover your escape.
No one knew the disciple of the Yingyue Sect was with me, not even the Ming family who came to investigate, as I deceived them.
This person was in a coma for the past few days.
He probably woke up, panicked, and without understanding the exact situation, worried that he was still in danger.
So he left immediately, planning to return to his sect.
Under such circumstances, he does not even know that I was the one who saved him.
What explanation can I give to the Ming family if they trace him back to my place?
Could I say that I secretly treated the disciple of the Yingyue Sect to cover your escape?”
Chu Xun became downcast, then his face showed guilt, “Brother Chen, it seems like I have implicated you.
Being righteous, Brother Chen, I…I really feel ashamed and embarrassed as I acted impulsively…”
“Sigh!”
Chen Dengming immediately waved his hand, “Let’s not mention this any further.
After knowing each other for so long, we don’t owe each other anything.
I was also planning to leave the Moonlight Market, so there are no losses.”
Saying these high-sounding words, Chen Dengming also felt embarrassed in his heart.
He muttered to himself, “Zhu, the complete mess was actually caused by me.
You impulsively took the blame.
Now things have come to such a point, the only thing to do is to take one step at a time.
“So, Brother Chen…
Where are you planning to go next?
Can you take me with you to find a way to survive?”
“Well…”
Chen Dengming was planning to go to Absolute Forest City and then look for a way to join a sect.
At most, he would ask Qiangzi to take care of himself a bit.
He really had no plan to take Chu Xun along and thought that he had already left.
But now, Chu Xun also can’t return to the Moonlight Market, essentially because he took the blame for Chen Dengming.
With a sigh in his heart, Chen Dengming then said:
“Daoist Zhu, to be honest, I plan to join a sect for the Foundation Establishment.
I don’t want to lead a life walking on a knife edge.
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
However, there are some ways to eke out an existence.
If you wish to follow me, let’s proceed together.”
Chu Xun was instantly overjoyed and immediately bowed and thanked him, “Thank you, Brother Chen, for being willing to take me with you!”
Loose Cultivators liked to stick together, especially if they had a strong companion, they would feel more secure when they are outside.
Moreover, Chen Dengming is generous, so Chu Xun had already planned to follow him.
Of course, in Chen Dengming’s view, Zhu is good in every way, but his pride and impulsiveness definitely need to be changed.
This time, he took the blame for Zhu’s impulsiveness, which is alright as it benefits him in this instance.
If Zhu is impulsive again next time, it could bring trouble.
He hoped that Zhu learned his lesson this round.
…
Time flies like a shuttle, life is hardly leisurely.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye, Chen Dengming and Chu Xun proceeded and stopped, traveling together.
Occasionally, they encountered one or two Demonic Beasts along the way, which they easily defeated.
Chu Xun quickly resold the beasts at the local market, making the journey less lonely and the cultivation more carefree.
If it weren’t for the special areas, where dangerous creatures lurked, this would have been a pleasant journey.
Bursting free from the disbanded loose cultivator status, they showcased a bit of the demeanor of immortal cultivators.
“Hey, Brother Chen, do you think the red-haired zombie we encountered in the mountains yesterday could have been left by the Corpse-driver Sect’s cultivator?
It’s said that cultivators of the Corpse-driver Sect often bury and nurture zombies in remarkable Feng Shui places, retrieving when the time is ripe.
If we captured that red-haired zombie and sold it in the market…”
On the way, while approaching Absolute Forest City, Chu Xun and Chen Dengming settled on a mountain road, babbling to each other.
Chen Dengming shook his head, “Daoist Zhu, didn’t I tell you to refrain from prying into the matters of the Immortal Sects?
You’re still this unrestrained.
What?
Have you stopped selling meat and switched to selling corpses now?”
“Hehe, it’s just idle chat born out of curiosity.
I don’t have the skill to refine corpses and so won’t particularly aim for that red-haired zombie”
Chu Xun responded with a dry laugh.
As he was speaking, suddenly a loud explosion sound could be heard from the hill behind them, which shook the entire hill and a gust of strong wind rushed in.
Then a few more consecutive explosions rang out, which were extremely fierce.
Chen Dengming and Chu Xun’s facial expressions changed instantly, they immediately stood up, activated their magic artifacts as a precautionary measure.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——”
Several cultivators in retreat and fighting, appeared not far from the mountain road.
It was quite evident that they were the losing party and were gradually being defeated.
As soon as they saw Chen Dengming and Chu Xun, their eyes lit up and they intended to plead for help.
Chen Dengming stepped forward first, his temples shaking, his eyes looking fierce as if he wanted to see through everyone.
He preempted, “Get lost!”
