Chapter 140: 086: Everyone’s heart is different and hard to resemble, all things are made by fate (Big Chapter asking for monthly tickets)_2 Chapter 140: 086: Everyone’s heart is different and hard to resemble, all things are made by fate (Big Chapter asking for monthly tickets)_2 Chen Dengming sighed, and began manipulating a pair of Wuling Snatches to dig and bury the pit filled with blood.
At this moment, there were signs of someone triggering the Formation.
Chen Dengming’s eyes narrowed, and he quickened his pace.
Shouts gradually came from outside.
Chen Dengming looked at the blood pit that was now covered, put on the Human Skin Mask, his eyes becoming cold, his aura turning ruthlessly frigid.
With a casual grab, he stuffed the corpses of the Demonic Beasts on the ground into his Storage Bag.
Then, with a turn and a gesture, a few Gu Worms on the edge of the Formation, ready to move about, flew back to him.
...
With the Wuling Snatches hanging from his waist, he put away the Array Plate, and the Blindfolding Technique of the Illusion Array disappeared in an instant, revealing a few Cultivator figures outside.
They were actually all garbed in the robes of the Absolute Forest City guards.
The group, originally appearing impatient and indifferent, caught sight of a tall and thin man stepping out from within the Formation, his face dark and his demeanor chilling with a faint trace of Evil Qi.
They were taken aback, instantly on alert.
Seeing that they were guard Cultivators from Absolute Forest City, Chen Dengming was also surprised.
However, sensing their Qi, he noticed that these people were merely middle-stage Qi Cultivators.
Upon considering it for a moment, he greeted them with a slight bow, “What brings my fellow Daoists here?”
The guard Cultivators looked at each other.
Observing the bulging muscles beneath Chen Dengming’s high-level robe and the pair of Wuling Snatches hanging at his waist, they felt that he was no easy adversary.
One of them promptly responded courteously, “Apologies for intruding, fellow Daoist.
We were just investigating traces of Demonic Beast activity nearby, and fearing that someone might have come to harm here, we came to inquire.”
“Oh?”
Chen Dengming nodded slightly, figuring that perhaps the traces left by his recent hunt had drawn their attention.
He glanced at the site behind him, which he hadn’t fully cleared up yet, and replied pensively.
“I’ve already slain the Beast and tidied up the scene.
Were you fellows interested in the corpses of the Beasts I hold?”
Upon hearing this, the guards were visibly uncomfortable and immediately denied any such suggestion.
“No, not at all, how could we…”
“Indeed, we guards from the Absolute Forest City always abide by our rules.
How can we covet the Beast corpses a fellow Daoist posseses?
You joke.”
“Exactly, there seems to be a misunderstanding.”
Chen Dengming was surprised.
Seeing the strong reactions of the guards, he knew their guilt-ridden intentions.
Initially, he did not want to stir trouble with them.
After all, civilians shouldn’t contend with official forces.
He was ready to offer some beast corpses to them if they were interested.
It’s always better to avoid making trouble – spending some to alleviate potential calamities.
Interestingly, these men turned out to be more nervous than he was.
As expected, as long as one becomes more formidable, those around tend to become more friendly, leaving no bad people around.
“So it seems.
The reputation of the Absolute Forest City guards is not unfounded.
Since there’s no issue, I’ll be taking my leave.”
“Safe journey, fellow Daoist!”
Once Chen Dengming’s tall and muscular figure disappeared, the guard Cultivators glanced at each other and then at the traces of Beast blood left on the ground there.
A sense of relief swept over them.
“Who would have thought it was a high-level Qi Cultivator, maybe even a Demon Beast Hunter?
That Evil Qi on him gave me palpitations.”
“You’re telling me; this was somewhat risky.
We were set on gaining some benefits, but it nearly led to a confrontation.
That would not be good, especially in the wilds.
Was my shout earlier too loud?”
“I think…
it was fine.
That Daoist seemed quite polite.”
After conversing for a bit, they glanced at each other, adjusted their guard robes and shared a laugh.
“Nothing beats wearing this uniform.
It’s safe.”
They knew too well where they stood without their guard status.
If the Cultivator hadn’t been there, they wouldn’t have dared to make a peep and would’ve had to scurry away, not getting any chance for a composed exchange.
…
Meanwhile.
At Yingyue Sect.
Upon rushing back to the Sect, Yue Kun immediately planned to report to the Sect Ancestor about the matter of Miaoyin Sect raising Chen Dengming.
Contrary to his wishes, after emerging from seclusion, the Ancestor had soon embarked on a journey, staying elusive.
Yue Kun was taken aback.
He snagged his elder Sect Leader brother to inquire why the Ancestor would leave right after emerging from seclusion and where he’d gone.
The Sect Leader stroked his beard and glared, “When you’re done with your secluded cultivation after such a long time, wouldn’t you also want to take a trip and get some fresh air?
Where the Ancestor is heading, how would he tell me?”
Yue Kun was left helpless, pacing around restlessly as he considered his options.
The matter concerning Chen Dengming was known only to him.
If he alone reported it to the Ancestor, any future achievements would belong solely to him.
But the Ancestor was now away.
To get in touch with him, he needed the permission of the Sect Leader to activate the Message Formation leading to the Ancestor.
Without that, he couldn’t reach the Ancestor accurately.
However, using the Formation to connect with the Ancestor was not something to be done lightly.
Even if one had to use it, the permission of the Sect Leader was required.
Then, the achievement wouldn’t be solely Yue Kun’s.
Above all, the matter to be reported involved the private affairs of Miaoyin Sect.
Even if the issue was reported to the Ancestor, he might not choose to meddle in Miaoyin Sect’s business.
After all, the Miaoyin Fairy of the Miaoyin Sect was a late-stage Golden Core Cultivator.
“Brother Yue, you seem to be in a hurry to find the Ancestor.
Could it be some major issue?”
Noticing Yue Kun’s agitated state, Daoist Lingyue flashed a cunning smile, tentatively asking.
A thought struck Yue Kun, but he wore a nonchalant expression, turned, sighed and shook his head, “Not a major issue, actually.
Just one of my disciples from Nanxun recently left the mountain, but unfortunately lost their life.
I wonder, Sect Leader, are you aware?
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
The Ancestor has always been interested in that child, and I planned to report this matter to him.
If brother Sect Leader could open the Message Formation, it would be for the best.”
