Chapter 125: 081: When Will the Day Come to Establish the Foundation and Transform into a Dragon, Only Then will the Immortal Sect’s Mystical Law be Heard (Big Chapter Asking for Monthly Tickets)_1 Chapter 125: 081: When Will the Day Come to Establish the Foundation and Transform into a Dragon, Only Then will the Immortal Sect’s Mystical Law be Heard (Big Chapter Asking for Monthly Tickets)_1 Regardless of the shock and suspicion mingling among the Ming family’s cultivators, it seems to be utterly useless – as the object of suspicion has already left Moonlight Market, his whereabouts now unknown.
In truth, the Ming family conducted a very thorough investigation into the death of the disciple from Yingyue Sect.
The sudden departure of Chen Dengming even led to a woman cultivator with the surname Li recalling that the disciple was looking for a cultivator with the surname Chen, arousing further suspicion.
However, subsequent investigations revealed through Boss Hu of the Business League that Chen Dengming had intended to leave two months prior.
Only because he couldn’t find some materials to nourish his spiritual body and cultivate spiritual beasts did he decide to stay at the Moonlight Market.
This clue seemed to show that Chen Dengming’s departure was not a sudden decision, and seemingly had nothing to do with the death of the disciple from Yingyue Sect.
Nonetheless, as a matter of routine, the cultivators of the Ming family searched Chen Dengming’s home thoroughly.
...
This investigation lasted for several days and yielded almost nothing.
However, even with Chen Dengming’s meticulous mind, some everyday details, easy to overlook, were ignored.
By examining many trees in the courtyard that resembled a ‘scrofulous head’, Li conjectured that Chen Dengming might have been practicing the “Water Shadow Wood Poison Gu Skill”.
The special poisonous effects of this skill are clear to everyone who has encountered it.
The woman cultivator with the surname Li immediately linked this to Nangong Yun’s bizarre behavior in the market that night.
A normal person wouldn’t disappear for two days, suddenly appear and then leave the market alone at night, diving headfirst into a demon beast’s lair for a potentially suicidal fight.

At this point in the investigation, all the mysteries of the situation seemed to unravel.
Unfortunately, by the time they had reached this conclusion, nobody could find Chen Dengming.
His absence was the result of his careful planning and effort.
The detailed results of the investigation into the cause of this incident were quickly recorded on a jade token and sent to Yingyue Sect.
The speed at which Yingyue Sect responses to incidents involving their disciples depends on the severity of the situation.
When the news of Nangong Yun’s death reached his Master, Yue Kun, a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment stage, Chen Dengming had already arrived safely at Absolute Forest City with Chu Xun.
This was their third day near Absolute Forest City.
The battle between the great cultivation families of Yu and Liang, which resulted in chaos, lasted for two days before it ended.
Ultimately, aside from a few beautiful women from the Yu family who had Spiritual Roots and were considered valuable resources, the whole family was virtually obliterated.
Many scattered cultivators and guest officials who were once affiliated with the Yu family were also annihilated, while a few managed to escape amidst the chaos.
This bloody war, which took place outside Absolute Forest City, was witnessed by many cultivators within the city.
Some observed coldly, others treated it as a spectacle, some sympathized, but no one cared about the many mortals who had gathered outside the city gate to avoid the conflict.
Most of these mortals were ordinary people who once lived within the sphere of influence of the Yu family.
War left them nothing but disaster.
The few who managed to flee to the city gates were the lucky ones.
Many died en route, or scattered where the trees fell, fleeing to remote places, their fate unknown.
…
“Come one, come all, don’t miss out.
Move along if you’re not buying, you’re blocking the customers behind…”
“Come, come, just got this middle-grade magic artifact, the Jade Wheels, from the battlefield.
Minor flaws, but ninety percent new.
This is a proprietary artifact of the Yu family.
Once the Yu family is gone, there will be no more…”
The liveliest open market in Absolute Forest City is crowded with cultivators, rubbing shoulders.
The crowd is noisy and boisterous.
This large city of cultivators seems no different from a mundane marketplace.
Many cultivators yell in order to attract customers.
Amid the vulgarity, there’s an undercurrent of cold cruelty and bloody chaos.
Many of the items on sale are still dripping with blood, hastily brought here to be sold.
The fall of a whale brings about the birth of countless creatures.
The fall of a cultivation family instantly brings prosperity to the marketplace in Absolute Forest City.
Chen Dengming and Chu Xun, each wearing a human skin mask, idly stroll around the market.
Chen Dengming, using his bone shrinking technique, changes his appearance and height.
He hangs two cold hook iron claw wuling snatch at his waist.
He looks like a tall and thin cultivator, dressed in black and exuding a mysterious, sinister aura.
It’s clear at a glance he is not someone to mess with.
Chu Xun, the butcher, is bulky and formidable.
He follows closely behind Chen Dengming, looking like a subordinate.
This combination inevitably makes passers-by nervous, and they hastily move aside.
The two of them stop and go, taking in the spectacle before finally settling at a small auction in the marketplace, drawing quite a crowd of bidding cultivators.
The items being auctioned off are none other than a group of female members of the Yu Family.
All these women are dressed exquisitely, their makeup meticulously done, and their robes highlighting their enticing figures.
Given their former status, they appear very attractive, drawing lots of attention from the cultivators, who admire and appraise them.
But evidently, no matter how beautiful they are or how finely they’re dressed, their faces are filled with fear and apprehension at this moment.
“These women seem to have been controlled by secret methods, what a pity.
The youngest one is just twelve years old, with a middle-grade spiritual root.
She’s a promising seedling; some family might purchase her as a child bride,” someone comments.
“Too expensive, they want fifty middle-grade spirit stones, this price is ridiculous, they are priced like gold-infused crystals…”
