Why?”
Chen Dengming was surprised, feeling a bit strange in his heart.
To say it was for some reason, that seemed a bit unlikely.
He Yingyu smiled behind her hand, “Because you, Junior Brother, are too poor.
If you were a spy from the Demon Cultivators, you might be poor, but not as poor as you.
You even had to borrow fifty mid-grade spirit stones from me.”
At these words, Chen Dengming felt embarrassed.
He never expected that his poverty, which had previously helped him remove suspicion, would be the very cause of ridicule now.
...
Perhaps his Senior Brothers and Sisters had already figured out his origins.
He had planned to survive a little longer, but it seems Liang Yunsheng, the old survival expert, had been doing so for many years.
The path he had walked and the strategies he had used were outdated.
His intelligence had already been seen through by others.
But…
Does not having fifty mid-grade spirit stones really make him very poor?
Loose cultivators in the gathering areas can’t even afford a bowl of spirit rice.
You arrogant Foundation Establishment big shots, you look down on fifty mid-grade spirit stones.
Indeed, his poverty limited his imagination, making him a plebian mixed amongst tycoons and a clumsy dog among a pack of wolves.
“Since fifty spirit stones are a small matter, then do I, Senior Sister, not have to repay it?”
“What do you think?
Regardless of how small the matter, you have to repay what you owe.”
At that, Liang Yunsheng burst into laughter,
The atmosphere seemed to lighten significantly all at once.
Any lingering tension or grievances dissipating in that moment.
“Hahaha, h- hic…” Laughing, Guan Le suddenly belched, his gaze gradually becoming vacant, as if he really had transformed from a wolf into a clumsy dog.
Not until his vacant gaze turned clear did he come to his senses.
He looked at Chen Dengming and He Yingyu, then at the corpse on the ground, and froze.
“The battle is over?
Are all the enemies dead?”
After receiving affirmations from Chen Dengming and He Yingyu, Guan Le began to sigh and lament.
“What a pity…
Senior Brother Liang said that if I could maintain a firm intention and appreciate it for a while, perhaps I could sense the power of the False Core and his operation of Daoism, and gain a lot.
Unfortunately, my intentions were not firm enough.

I just fell into a stupor and fell asleep.”
Chen Dengming was momentarily taken aback at these words.
This Senior Brother Guan, while some people claim that foolish people have foolish blessings, those blessings truly exist.
Unfortunately, he did not seize this great opportunity.
Otherwise, he could look forward to the Golden Core in the future, or at least the False Core realm would be much smoother.
However, Chen Dengming did not envy such opportunistic cultivation, where someone else entered the body on your behalf.
He had too many secrets and it wouldn’t be good for anyone to find out.
He Yingyu spoke with a hint of admiration in her voice, “I hadn’t expected that Senior Brother Liang has cultivated the Moving Heaven and Earth technique to the point where he can transfer his power into others.
Had it not been for this incident, this technique would probably always have remained one of Senior Brother Liang’s hidden trump cards.
It comes at a great cost to reveal it.
Li Yue thought he had calculated all the variables, but how could he know about others’ hidden trump cards?”
She looked at the corpse of Li Yue, pierced by thousands of blades on the ground.
Her gaze was complex.
“Let’s bury him.
Then, let’s go check out Foggy River Beach.
The battle there might already be over.”
…
Unlike Eagle Wind Ravine, Foggy River Beach had rallied seven Foundation Establishment cultivators from Changchun sect, including the Executive from the Transmitting Method Hall, old man Mo.
On the contrary, there were only four Demon Cultivators, all of whom were only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
There was not even a single one at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
Given this lineup, He Yingyu and the others were not worried.
As expected, by the time the three of them arrived at the battlefield, the battle was over.
Three of the four Demon Cultivators had been killed, while the last one escaped via the turbulent river.
Old man Mo and the others were searching along the riverbank, determined to annihilate and exterminate them completely.
This terrain was probably part of the Demon Cultivators’ original plan.
The four were to undertake the risk, tying up the seven from the Changchun Sect at the Foggy River Beach, holding out until Li Yue and the others finished their battle and sent reinforcements, or until the Blood Ghost Taoist arrived to support them for a little while longer.
But, man proposes, god disposes.
Their ambition exceeded their strength.
Li Yue and the others fell into a trap, and the Blood Ghost Taoist never showed up from beginning to end.
…
At this moment,
hundreds of miles away from Foggy River Beach, in a certain mountain alcove, the Blood Ghost Taoist, panting heavily, hid in a cave that he had prepared beforehand.
He kicked close approaching Blood Demon away with a look of fear and cold mockery, cursing softly.
“Idiots!
A bunch of idiots!
Fortunately, I noticed something wrong and didn’t really appear to support them, otherwise I might be a corpse by now.”
According to the plan, Li Yue and the others should have achieved the plan’s objective within a given timeframe, and then provided support promptly.
As soon as the designated time was up and the Demon Cultivators on Foggy River Beach no longer needed to stick around, they would try their best to escape.
At that point, it would mean that the plan had gone awry.
Originally according to the plan, the Blood Ghost Taoist was supposed to immediately support and cover their escape as soon as the set time was up,
However, this cunning and treacherous old ghost had calculated in advance.
If Li Yue and others appeared before the set time, he would take action accordingly.
If not, he would not make a move, and would run as far as he could.
Sure enough, as it appears now, the plan had likely failed.
Something major had happened, and he didn’t even know what caused the failure.
But now, none of that mattered.
What mattered was how he would explain this to the Demon Child.
Others can survive by hiding, and so can he.
He, too, got to live a little longer by hiding to the brink.
But now he can neither stay in the Eastern Region nor dare to return to the Western Region.
He might not even be able to leave the Eastern Region smoothly.
His situation is now quite embarrassing.
