Chapter 204: 111~112: In front of the White Jade Hall, the spring day extends, an Immortal mounts a crane rising towards Fusang (two in one) _5 Chapter 204: 111~112: In front of the White Jade Hall, the spring day extends, an Immortal mounts a crane rising towards Fusang (two in one) _5 It was because, for the past few days, he had always felt a wave of unsettling palpitations in his deeply tranquil state at the utmost emptiness during the nights when he was cultivating.
And this unsettling feeling of palpitations, even the Mini Array Spirit was born of it and had repeatedly transmitted to him signals of anxiety and fear.
However, whenever Chen Dengming released his Divine Sense to search, he often found nothing.
In this case, Chen Dengming had to remain cautious, gradually sensing that something was not right.
In his state nearing the Unity of Heaven and Man, his perception was roughly equal to the Array Spirit’s, at close ranges his strength and acuity of perception were much greater than his Divine Sense’s.
Now that he had impulsively sensed the danger from his palpitations, it couldn’t possibly be a shot in the dark.
It was just that, he couldn’t directly tell Guan Le about the secret regarding his state of mind in the Martial Arts and the Mini Array Spirit, so he had to warn him.
...
!
“Ah, Brother Chen, you are too cautious, even, pardon me for being blunt, too timid.”
After receiving another warning from Chen Dengming, Guan Le sighed, shaking his head, “Though we need to be cautious when we are out on a mission, you’ve participated in the search during these past few days.
As you’ve probably noticed, those demons have already left.
“Otherwise, if they were really still here, unless they were ants, they wouldn’t be able to escape our Divine Sense probe.”
All Chen Dengming could do was cup his fist in a polite smile, “You’re right, Brother Guan.
Maybe I’m overthinking things.
In any case, it’s better to be careful.”
After he finished speaking, seeing that Guan Le didn’t take it to heart, he shook his head inwardly and left, while shutting down the audio-visual bead that had just been activated.
When Changchun Sect disciples are on a mission, they always carry an audio-visual bead with them.
In this way, if anything happens during the mission, it can be recorded and kept as evidence.
Chen Dengming, cautious by nature, was now the only one who sensed a potential danger, which posed a significant problem.

It meant that if there was any danger, it could potentially become a major incident due to negligence leading to loss of life.
He had already warned those he thought he should.
But if Guan Le didn’t heed his advice, there was nothing he could do.
He could only use the audio-visual bead to record it, to avoid being blamed if something actually happens later, and then secretly transmitted the news to Li Yue using the jade talisman for message transmission.
At this time, during the rest period, Chen Dengming went into the forest and saw a female cultivator feeding a piece of dried meat to the Black Cloud Leopard, with several female disciples not far away watching the excitement.
Walking over, he found out that the cultivator was the same Junior Sister Le who had guided him up the mountain.
Now she had become Junior Nephew Le.
Seeing him coming, the female disciples nearby immediately stood up in surprise and bowed in respect.
“Un…Uncle Chen…..”
Seeing Chen Dengming approaching, Le Yue immediately stood up and spoke nervously.
“I, I’m feeding some demonic beast meat to your spiritual pet.
It’s been following us around these days, giving us more courage.
I just want to thank it.”
Chen Dengming laughed and shook his head, “No need to explain, it’s just a small matter.
It’s an honor for the leopard to be fed by you, Junior Nephew Le.”
The Black Cloud Leopard spat out a chunk of bone disgustedly and rolled its eyes, showing its displeasure.
“Un…Uncle Chen, you must be joking.”
Le Yue bowed her head nervously, her delicate chin almost touching her chest, after a quick salute, she was about to leave.
Chen Dengming stopped her and said agreeably, “Junior Nephew Le Yue, we haven’t found any trace of the demons yet, but we mustn’t become complacent or careless.
Could you mention this to everyone as well and be careful yourself.”
Le Yue paused, her ears turning slightly red.
She thanked him quickly and hurried away.
Listening to the distant laughter among the group of women in the mountains and forests, Chen Dengming shook his head slightly.
I wonder how many people Le Yue can persuade?
Or did she herself pay heed to it?
How many people still remember the cruel scenes they saw four days ago, with corpses piled up like mountains?
These days he had intentionally arranged for the Black Cloud Leopard to roam near Le Yue.
When he accidentally discovered that the junior sister who had guided him up the mountain was in the team, he naturally took care of her as much as he could, but he didn’t let Le Yue know.
“I hope these fits of palpitations I’ve been having these days are simply the result of overthinking…..”
Chen Dengming looked up, peering at the sky through the trees and leaves in the forest.
He saw the sky growing increasingly darker, the iron-grey clouds seeping into the distance, enclosing the mountains like a cage.
It bore the ominous signs of an incoming storm.
!
The final phase of the search operation was uneventful, and all the unease seemed to have been merely figments of Chen Dengming’s imagination.
The dusky clouds that passed by during the day only dropped a few raindrops.
By nightfall, they had dissipated, and there was no sign of the expected summer storm.
The sky was full of stars, and the mountain and the forest were filled with the fresh and invigorating air of the great outdoors.
There was even an increase in bird songs and chirping of insects, as if the oppressive feeling that had lingered over the past few days had vanished with the departure of the demons.
It felt as if the sun shined after the storm, flowers blooming out of nowhere.
“Brother Chen, didn’t I say so?
There’s nothing to worry about.
Those damned beasts have long since run away.”
At night, while the disciples were setting up camp and arranging formations, Guan Le came over with a cup of tea and said to Chen Dengming, “I received a message from Brother Li yesterday.
They encountered some beasts on their side and managed to kill them successfully.
They have reaped quite a harvest!
Ah, we just had bad luck, we didn’t run into any!”
Chen Dengming was visibly more relaxed.
He was no longer experiencing palpitations.
Thinking that he had suspected wrongly, he chuckled, “Forget it, less is more, better to avoid trouble.”
