Chen Dengming waved his hand dismissively when he saw that Yang Lan had stopped her weeping, her face easing.
He knew that this female cultivator had probably not experienced many near-death experiences.
She had just been attacked by countless Soul Ghosts and was on the brink of death, causing her mentality to collapse a bit, which was normal.
He then said calmly, “I’m not scolding you, Sister Yang, just that we are in dangerous territory right now.
Let’s avoid making any noise and attracting more enemies.”
“I’m…
I’m sorry, Brother Chen, you’re right.
I was…
...
I was out of line, I’m sorry.”
Given an opening by Chen Dengming, Yang Lan also took the path of least resistance and apologized, her face slightly flushed.
The three immediately set to cleaning up the battlefield, ready to leave.
While collecting the Storage Bag and other war spoils from the cultivator of the Soul Devouring Sect, Chen Dengming thought for a moment, then tossed aside the Storage Bag and only took the Spirit Stones and the opponent’s Magic Artifacts.
Zhou Yunji was surprised, “Brother Chen, why did you do that?”
As Chen Dengming examined the Banner of Yin Spirits which seemed to be filled with Soul Ghosts, he explained, “Cultivators from the Soul Devouring Sect are very resourceful.
They might use the Soul Power of Soul Ghosts as a kind of marker.
If their Storage Bags and items are marked, they can easily attract the attention of other sect members…”
This was not a random guess.
Such methods were ones that Chen Dengming himself was familiar with and were a trick within the Hundred Ghosts Yin Record Refining God Skill.
Zhou Yunji was already fully convinced of his junior brother and upon hearing this, also immediately threw away the Storage Bag, only taking the Spirit Stones and items within.
Chen Dengming carefully examined the Soul Attracting Banner which was more than one person tall.
He could sense a chilling space within the gloomy black banner cloth.
Many ghost creatures and Soul Ghosts were fighting fiercely inside.
He dared not hastily investigate the item, nor did he dare to put it in his Storage Bag.
Instead, he stowed it inside the Spirit Subduing Vase for safekeeping.
Zhou Yunji and he had an unspoken understanding.
Each took what they chose.
When Chen Dengming politely asked if Yang Lan needed a share, she declined graciously.
She was sensible and outspoken in her refusal and expression of gratitude.
Initially, she had felt somewhat awkward, but now her impression of Chen Dengming was gradually improving, and she was increasingly curious about him.
With respect to Chen Dengming, this newcomer in the Foundation Establishment stage from the Changchun Sect, she had initially felt slightly superior, as she was theoretically a junior sister among the four members from the Longevity Sect.
However, their two recent encounters in this challenging region had made her deeply realise just how much she lagged behind this cautious, strong, and meticulous junior brother.
…
Once everyone was ready, they quickly hit the road.
Chen Dengming did not mount the Black Cloud Leopard this time.
Instead, he placed the unconscious Qi Fen on the leopard’s back and used his magic artifact to travel.
Fortunately, the journey went smoothly.
Chen Dengming met other people consecutively.
Before they even arrived at the location of the rescue mission, everyone had already gathered together.
Qi Fen had revived from unconsciousness and immediately expressed his gratitude to Chen Dengming.
“There’s no need to be so polite.
We’re all part of the same team.
If I were in trouble, Brother Qi, you would have helped me as well,” Chen Dengming waved off the gratitude with a smile.
Qi Fen gave a weak smile, bowed deeply, and said, “Brother Chen, from today onwards, you are truly my Senior Brother.
I owe you my life.
Please stop calling me your senior, I can’t bear such respect.”
“Hahaha,” Cao Yan laughed from the side, “Enough now, Brother Chen.
Stop being so modest.
If you continue to be modest, I’ll start feeling embarrassed to call myself your senior.”
Chen Dengming forced a smile and shook his head, no longer insisting on formalities with Qi Fen.
He liked this person.
Qi Fen was grateful and knew how to repay kindness.
It was worth saving him.
Of course, he had saved Qi Fen not expecting anything in return.
As teammates, it was natural to save each other if possible.
But if not, then there was nothing he could do.
At the moment, everyone was gathered on a slope not far from their mission target.
From their high vantage point, they could see a dilapidated town below.
In the center of the town, the lights from a magic Formation flickered.
Beyond that, however, most of the town was shrouded in a faint black fog.
Inside the black fog, one could vaguely see some long banners that looked like white cloth fluttering ominously.
It seemed as if at any moment, Soul Ghosts could patrol and circle within.
They surrounded but did not attack.
They could not see any sign of the enemy.
Seeing this, Cao Yan said solemnly, “The Task Jade Slip mentioned that Brother Kong and the others were trapped here this morning.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
After receiving their call for help, we immediately set off and arrived here in less than half a day.
The enemy probably didn’t expect us to get here so fast.
Maybe the two cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage from the Soul Devouring Sect that you killed, Brother Chen, were part of this group of enemies.
If that’s the case, we have already relieved some of the pressure…”
Chen Dengming frowned slightly upon hearing this.
He didn’t like to think about things optimistically.
Instead, he was used to preparing for the worst.
This way, he could be fully prepared and avoid being caught off guard by unexpected events.
Noticing Chen Dengming’s expression, Cao Yan immediately smiled, “Brother Chen, do you have any other thoughts or plans?
Please share them.”
Zhou Yunji had been holding back.
He wanted to suggest something, but didn’t dare to rashly do so for fear of being laughed at if he was wrong.
However, upon hearing Cao Yan, he perked up.
He greatly admired the strategy Chen Dengming had employed earlier—sneaking around and ambushing the enemies.
If it were him, he probably would have directly charged over and fought with the enemy until seeing blood.
However, Chen Dengming had cleverly and effortlessly resolved the battle.
Now, he also wanted to see if this capable Brother Chen had any other good ideas.
Upon seeing everyone’s expectant faces, Chen Dengming remained calm.
There were times when he needed to be low-key, but at crucial moments of decision-making like this, he could give his own advice.
If adopted, it would be his own responsibility for his safety.
He absolutely could not be negligent.
He then laid out his worries, “When Brother Zhou and I found those two Soul Devouring Sect cultivators, they had already surrounded Sister Yang and the others.
Is it possible that they had discovered the Longevity Sect disciples along the way, and passed the message on to their companions using Jade Talismans for Message Transmission?
If this is the case, then at the moment, that town is likely to be a well-laid trap…”
