Chapter 422: 196: Demon Rohash of Mosha Country, the Number One Person Below the Golden Core (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_3 Chapter 422: 196: Demon Rohash of Mosha Country, the Number One Person Below the Golden Core (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_3 Chen Dengming paused, shook his head, and answered honestly, “Not really, my Magic Treasure wasn’t ready last time.”
Qiao Zhaoxian looked surprised.
“Well, that’s unexpected.
I heard from Elder Zhu and Jade Cauldron True Monarch that you managed to wound the Blazing Blood Demon.
Does Daoist friend Chen have any other impressive tricks up your sleeve?
Feel free to share.
It might ease our minds.”
Chen Dengming slightly frowned, then laughed.
“Fellow Cultivator Qiao, these are personal secrets after all.
...
I can only assure you that I do have some hidden cards strong enough to threaten ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
“It was merely a moment of luck when the Blazing Blood Demon was distracted by Senior Jade Cauldron.
Nothing to boast about.”
“Oh, I see!” Qiao Zhaoxian responded with a hint of skepticism.

He nodded and smiled.
“Very well!
If it’s a matter of your privacy, I will not ask further.
It’s our fortune to have you and your hidden cards on the same team.”
The Heavenly Dao Sect’s members looked at Chen Dengming suspiciously, somewhat discontented with his secretive behavior.
Even the people from the Longevity Sect, like Qiu Feng, had seemed formidable but lost their glamor when faced with cultivators from the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Perhaps Chen Dengming had indeed got lucky.
But he did own a Magic Treasure.
Having such a comrade for coordination in a fight was also quite satisfactory.
On the journey, they together studied the map and the route of march and retreat and finalized the plan for a surprise attack from behind.
As expected, Qiao Zhaoxian said that if early Golden Core cultivators showed up, he would distract them for a while to buy others time to escape.
If more powerful cultivators appeared, then they could only scatter in all directions and rely on their Heavenly Destiny.
The plan proposed by Qiao Zhaoxian immediately earned the admiration and respect of others, even those from the Longevity Sect.
The resentment Chen Dengming felt from being probed earlier had now disappeared.
This Qiao Zhaoxian proved his reliability when it mattered.
If it were him, though he’d do the same in case of no choice.
But that was only out of desperation.
If given a choice, he was unwilling to take up everything and risk his life against stronger cultivators.
The following journey was peaceful.
The third-order Spirit Boat moved fast, and it could fly at the high altitudes among the clouds, offering excellent concealment.
Before long, they bypassed the patrolling area according to the warzone map and intelligence, realized that they had nearly reached their destination, and quietly steered the Spirit Boat down.
Against a high-end Decapitation Team possessing a third-rank Spirit Boat, the enemy’s patrol and blockade were up in smoke.
Similarly, it was the same for the Eastern Region alliance.
The construction of a Floating Island by the Earth Building Sect, along with the patrolling team of cultivators, was only capable of defending against ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator teams.
But this kind of deep penetration into enemy territory was dangerously risky.
If intelligence was leaked, or they happened to encounter enemy Golden Core cultivators, the entire group would face total annihilation.
That was why Zhu Guangbiao authorized the mission only after they set off.
As they swiftly descended, they could see desolated cities and villages beneath them.
The scenic ruins, the desolate view, and even the faint smell of Demonic Beasts’ Evil Qi and blood appeared.
The Western Region had never been a land of happiness before the war.
Demonic Beasts reigned everywhere.
Frictional battles occasionally broke out amongst themselves for resources.
Otherwise, with the powerful individual strength of the Western Region’s Demon Cultivation, it would pose a significant threat to Eastern Region Sects, who may not be able to resist.
But eight years ago, various Sects and Demon Countries in the Western Region suddenly united and launched a comprehensive attack on the Eastern Region from four areas, catching the Eastern Region Sects off guard.
Numerous cultivation families and small Sects were wiped out, and Spirit Veins and other resources were seized.
The unexpected unity and alliance of the Western Region left the Eastern Region Sects in shock and unease.
That’s one of the main reasons the Heavenly Dao Sect initiated another war after the first East-West war, with the goal of nipping the threat in the bud and preventing the Western Region Sects from uniting again.
Unexpectedly, the Eastern Region’s counterattack seemed to unite the previously dispersing Western Region Sects and Demon Countries, turning the war into a stalemate.
Now, the place they had reached seemed to be a forbidden zone for life, without signs of humanity.
A group of vulture-like demonic birds was gathered amidst the ruins, feeding on the broken, decaying bodies.
Their crimson eyes were chilly.
As the Spirit Boat descended, the group of demonic birds was startled and was about to take off.
“Leave these demonic birds!
Their sudden flight might alert nearby Demon Cultivators.”
As Qiao Zhaoxian shared his experience through Divine Sense, he was already activating a jar-like Magic Artifact.
The moment it flashed, it emitted a powerful suction force, drawing each demonic bird inside.
Chen Dengming and the others also took their actions.
Chen Dengming performed the Puppet Skill casually, covering dozens of demonic birds.
Instantly, the birds froze and fell down headfirst.
But in the next instant, they were obliterated by a series of sudden sword shadows, leaving only a mixture of feathers and blood flying.
Chen Dengming paused, turning to look at Shangguan Congliang, who was manipulating the flying sword beside him.
The latter realized it and looked back at Chen Dengming, feeling a bit embarrassed but still snorted and immediately manipulated his flying sword to hunt down other birds.
Chen Dengming frowned, did not feel like taking further action, and thought, “Idiot!”
Qiao Zhaoxian immediately sensed the awkwardness and ordered Shangguan Congliang.
Given his prestige status within the Heavenly Dao Sect, Shangguan Congliang obeyed.
“Brother Chen, I didn’t realize that your Puppet Skill had reached such a pure state.
It’s best if you make your move.
The quieter the better.”
Qiao Zhaoxian turned to Chen Dengming politely.
Shangguan Congliang’s face darkened on hearing this, but he quickly retracted his flying sword.
He had rushed to present his skills without noticing that Chen Dengming had the situation under control.
He felt awkward when he realized, but he had to admit his mistake now.
Chen Dengming shook his head secretly, instructed He Yingyu to deal with the spread of the bloody smell in the air with a special Magic Artifact, and quickly took control of the situation using the Puppet skill.
Several breaths later, they set off again, keeping the Spiritual Light hidden, and maintaining a low-profile…
