Chapter 220: 118~119: People have affection and many confidants, earth has indomitable virtue (two-in-one seeking monthly ticket) _2 Chapter 220: 118~119: People have affection and many confidants, earth has indomitable virtue (two-in-one seeking monthly ticket) _2 Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and the spots on his body where knife blades pierced started to bleed.
He struggled to utter two dying words before he collapsed lifelessly on the spot.
Those two words.
Chen Dengming heard them.
He could have pretended not to.
After all, he owed nothing to Li Yue due to their misunderstanding.
Unluckily, Li Yue had specifically used him, misled him, but the owner of those two words did not.
...
He was the one who had previously sought out Chen Dengming, asking for his help, and had sincerely provided it.
Even though he inadvertently wound up causing trouble, it was done out of good intentions.
“I wonder if I passed the test and am now recognised for my merits or if my identity has been exposed and I am about to be expelled.
If I am expelled, I wouldn’t be able to help anyone,” Chen Dengming pondered, shaking his head with a smile.
Watching the fight between He Yingyu and the others, it’s nearing its conclusion.
The power Liang Yunsheng displayed through Guan Le’s body didn’t seem to reach the level of a False Core, but it surpassed the average Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Alongside He Yingyu’s support, the four Demon Cultivators put up a strong fight, but the outcome was predictable.
He turned to look at Li Yue’s corpse, beckoning it over.
‘Whizz, whizz, whizz——’
Thousands of blades returned, the Main Blade rapidly flashing with Spiritual Light, attracting 999 Son Blades onto it, reshaping the Divine Change Saber.
Chen Dengming’s gaze hardened, noticing two of the blades had cracked.
The battle had been pretty taxing.
With a wave of his hand, he pulled Li Yue’s body onto the ground.
The fighting in the valley gradually diminished with agonizing screams fading away.
…
Half a cup of tea later.
Chen Dengming changed into a fresh set of clothes and performed a Cleaning Skill on himself.
Then he calmly flew over to He Yingyu and Guan Le.
“Brother Chen, are you alright?”
He Yingyu looked worried, her hair damp from sweat, clinging messily to her smooth forehead as she gazed at Chen Dengming.
“I am fine!
Thanks for your concern, Senior Sister.
I didn’t spend as much energy as you did.
I never even used the Elixir Pill you gave me.”
Chen Dengming responded with a nod and a smile.
He Yingyu’s delicate face turned slightly red, and she quickly shifted her worried gaze to Guan Le.
“Senior Brother Liang…”
Guan Le laughed, his eyes flashing with admiration as he looked at Chen Dengming, and said,
“Junior Sister He, rest assured.
Brother Chen has proved himself.
We won’t pursue his identity issue any further.
Every hero has their own past.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming felt relieved.
He Yingyu, however, became gloomy once again, sighing,
“Senior Brother Liang, I am more concerned about your current condition.”
Chen Dengming felt intrigued, not only because Liang Yunsheng had decided not to investigate further, but also because of He Yingyu’s words.
Could it be that Liang Yunsheng paid a huge price to break Li Yue’s scheme?
“Junior Sister He, when this plan formally began, we both understood that someone would need to make sacrifices.”
Guan Le looked down at Li Yue’s body and sighed,
“These Demon Cultivators not only placed excellent insiders like Li Yue among us but also dispatched so many experts, targeting Sect Leader Qiu’s Longevity Incense.
If we thought that we could easily eliminate them without making any sacrifices, how could that be possible?”
He Yingyu argued, “But Senior Brother Liang, the price you paid is too high.
Losing the power of a False Core, even if you manage to Reforge it in the future, the path of the Golden Core will always be unreachable…”
“No hope for the Golden Core?” Chen Dengming shuddered, surprised.
This sacrifice was indeed tremendous.
Guan Le also revealed a complex and melancholy expression in his eyes, but he just laughed it off, saying,
“Forget it!
You know that in our struggle to remove the Nightmare Seed from Junior Brother Guan’s body, and that small skirmish with the lord of the Nightmare Kingdom, I was already on a losing streak.
Even without this sacrifice, the hope of achieving the Golden Core was dim.
Someone had to make this sacrifice, and there was no one more suitable than me.
At least today, the plans these Demon Cultivators had carefully designed have failed.
They have lost so many people, and Sect Leader’s Longevity Incense has been preserved.
I’m sure Sect leader and the others, without these worries, have successfully completed that important task.
This is yet another huge blow to the Demon Cultivators…”
“It seems that the real goal of these Demon Cultivators was to destroy Sect Leader’s Longevity Incense and thereby disrupt another important matter that Sect Leader Qiu was undertaking.
Each thing is interconnected.
Turns out, the dangerous battle we had was just paving the way for a greater event happening to the Golden Core cultivators…”
Chen Dengming was pondering when he noticed Guan Le’s gaze on him.
He immediately looked up and saw the familiar, caring gaze that belonged to the elder Liang Yunsheng.
Feeling goosebumps, he finally realised how the protagonist felt when he was hugged by Pig who was possessed by Zixia Fairy in the film ‘Journey to the West’, asking for a kiss.
It was a chilly sensation.

“Brother Chen, don’t fret about this incident.
After all, you were invited by Li Yue.
We observed and decided that you might be okay, but the necessary testing must be done, for the sake of everyone’s safety.
You also wouldn’t want Master He to be put into danger, right?”
Chen Dengming quickly laughed and shook his head,”Of course not, it’s normal.
If I were in your position, Senior Brother Liang, my methods might be harsher.”
“Then Brother Chen, you are rather naughty.”
He Yingyu’s radiant smile appeared, “Actually, I was very worried before, but I trust you, Brother Chen.
I am sure you are not one of those from the Western Region Demon Cultivation.”
