Chapter 200: 111~112: In front of the White Jade Hall, the spring day extends, an Immortal mounts a crane rising towards Fusang (two in one) _1 Chapter 200: 111~112: In front of the White Jade Hall, the spring day extends, an Immortal mounts a crane rising towards Fusang (two in one) _1 The bell tolls outside Changchun Hall, eighteen times for the departing soul within the cloud of dreams.
The so-called morning bell and evening drum usually holds no evil omen, but should the night bell toll, it speaks of impending doom.
Eighteen evening bell tolls within Changchun Sect signify a high-ranking elder’s funeral, an event of the utmost importance.
The eighteen tolls are believed to help the departed soul evade the eighteen layers of hell, dispatching it directly into the fairyland of cloud dreams, to enjoy eternal life.
Of course, this is merely a beautiful wish, a custom borrowed from the Longevity Sect.
However, even for the Longevity Sect, it’s impossible for any mortal mortal to evade the eighteen layers of hell and land directly in the fairyland of cloud dreams.
Arriving together with He Yingyu at the main peak’s Changchun Hall, Chen Dengming spotted familiar faces like Li Yue and Liang Yunsheng already gathered.
...
There were also two foundation establishment executives present, with whom he was not very well acquainted.
Though not particularly friendly, Chen Dengming had taken the initiative to visit and present gifts to them individually.
Therefore, they greeted each other with pleasantries and smiles when meeting each other.
But the mood today was peculiar.
It didn’t seem like some unfortunate event had befallen someone in Changchun Sect.
Instead, it felt as if a significant person from Longevity Sect had passed away.
In such circumstances, the one who dare to bear a smile would be considered highly respectful.
Chen Dengming, being exceptionally astute, decided to remain low-profile and silent as a specter, shadowing He Yingyu after entering the hall.
Soon, several others Foundation Establishment cultivators from the sect also arrived.
Chen Dengming had thought he might finally get a chance to meet Sect Leader Qiu Feng, a Golden Core cultivator.
While wondering whether a Golden Core cultivator would emit an aura like them or radiate a strong Golden Core charm that would make him stand out like a lit lamp amongst many, Liang Yunsheng, the Deputy Sect Leader, began to address everyone solemnly.
“Everyone, the situation at the frontier is extremely grave.
Sect Leader Qiu has gone to Longevity Sect to discuss battle plans.
Meanwhile, I’ll oversee matters in our sect.
Firstly, I have very disheartening news to share.
The Turtle, Snake, and Bee frontier has been breached…”
Everyone present paled upon hearing his words.
The Turtle, Snake, and Bee Frontier was defended by two Golden Core elders from Longevity Sect.
If it has been breached, wouldn’t these two Golden Core Elders be in danger?
How powerful would the enemies be?
“The one who attacked the Turtle, Snake, and Bee pass was a Nascent Soul True Monarch, we still don’t know the specifics about him…
one of the Longevity Sect elders, stationed at Turtle Snake Mountain, lost his life in a Golden Core explosion while the other managed to escape, albeit severely injured.
Out of the other dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators, more than half died or were injured, while there were some who disappeared…”
“A Nascent Soul True Monarch attacked?”
“This breaks the long-standing rules of the Four Regions’ agreement!
This Nascent Soul True Monarch is bound to be hunted down by the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Four Regions.
Why would he act so recklessly?”
The crowd was horrified, whispering among themselves.
Chen Dengming, huddled in the corner, also took in a sharp breath, feeling a chill in his heart.
If a Nascent Soul senior was involved, what an insane display of power that must be!
Golden Core cultivators were doomed to die, and those who could escape were likely to have done so under the cover of another Golden Core cultivator’s self-destruction, as long as the Nascent Soul did not dare to chase deep into the Eastern Region.
Aside from the Golden Core cultivators, those Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the pass also suffered heavy losses, with even some missing.
Those Foundation Establishment cultivators were no different from cannon fodder when facing a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
This made Chen Dengming feel incredibly heavy-hearted.
“Dao Monarch Qi Yun of Longevity Sect has already reached the Turtle, Snake, and Bee line to rebuild the defensive line.
Even though the unknown Nascent Soul has retreated, a large number of demons, as well as people from the Western Region’s Demon Country, have invaded deep into the Eastern Region, causing chaos everywhere within a single day.
Longevity Sect has issued a cleanup order.
Everyone, we too must spring into action immediately, leading all disciples to annihilate the invading demons…”
…
After a solemn temporary meeting, several Spirit Boats rose from within the Changchun Sect.
A large number of Sect disciples were quickly assembled, and everything was being urgently prepared.

Chen Dengming and He Yingyu took flight from Changchun Hall, each returned to their caves to prepare their belongings and were ready to depart at a moment’s notice.
“Brother Chen, you just broke through Foundation Establishment recently.
Even though we’ll have the assistance of friends during the patrol and defense, you must particularly pay attention to safety.”
Flying through a cloud of fog and passing the mountainside, He Yingyu couldn’t help but look back at Chen Dengming, reminding him once again.
She initially wanted to volunteer to be paired with Chen Dengming when Liang Yunsheng was arranging the list of Foundation Establishment cultivators for the patrol and defence.
By relying on her mid-level Foundation Establishment stage strength, she could have provided assistance to her newly-promoted junior.
However, Liang Yunsheng had other important duties for her, and she had to give up on the idea.
“Sister He, don’t worry.
I’ve always been cautious and alert, as you know.”
Chen Dengming responded with a smile, seeing that they were already at their caves, he slowed his flight speed and earnestly said to He Yingyu, “Sister He, you too, must be careful.
The current situation is unclear.
Among the invading demons, the number of great demons is still unknown.
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators like us could be in danger if we aren’t careful.”

“Hmm!” He Yingyu blushed slightly and nodded, then quickly fetched a bottle of Spirit Pills from her storage bag and gave it to Chen Dengming.
“This is a life-saving Spirit Pill that I obtained from a Pill Dao Master in the past, Junior Brother you take it.”
Chen Dengming raised his brows, about to refuse, but He Yingyu just smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not some valuable Spirit Pill.
I’ve got more of them.”
