Chapter 436: 202: Ordinary Chen Baimao, Remarkable Achievements of Golden Core (Additional Update for Monthly Ticket)_2 Chapter 436: 202: Ordinary Chen Baimao, Remarkable Achievements of Golden Core (Additional Update for Monthly Ticket)_2 Qiao Zhaoxian sighed in admiration, his gaze upon Chen Dengming filled with awe and respect.
When the Blazing Blood Demon struck with all its might, he thought there would be a heavy toll.
Yet Chen Dengming took the brunt of the attack, counterattacked fiercely, and took down the Blazing Blood Demon with a single blade.
The memory now felt like a fantastical dream to him.
“It was your good cooperation, Brother Qiao.
And it was a joint effort by everyone.”
Chen Dengming didn’t take sole credit for the victory.
His credit wouldn’t go anywhere, and he wouldn’t become conceited just because of a few praises; he remained humble and modest.
...
“Too modest, Brother Chen.”
“We should be the ones thanking you.”
The expressions of several Heavenly Dao Sect cultivators revealed their increased admiration and respect for him.
Yang Zidao watched this scene with envy and admiration.
Even though it wasn’t him being honoured, he still felt a sense of pride and thrill.
Previously, no matter how modest the Longevity Sect cultivators were in front of the Heavenly Dao Sect cultivators, they were considered submissive and weak.
But now, no matter how modest Chen Dengming was, he was taken seriously and shown respect.
This is the power of strength.
In the future, if the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect laugh at the weakness of the Longevity Sect cultivators, even if they can’t win a fight, they can respond stubbornly: “Can you fight our Brother Chen?”
At this time, the Spirit Boat had fully descended, entering the array barrier protection zone in the mountainous war zone below.
Seeing Shan Yeping, a Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenly Dao Sect who had been waiting for them, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
In the mountains, all the cultivators started cheering when they saw the Decapitation Team return successfully.
However, as soon as the Spirit Boat fully landed and two dead bodies were brought out, the cheers quickly died down.
Especially at the sight of Shangguan Congliang’s body, many Heavenly Dao Sect cultivators paled and gasped in surprise.
“What happened?”
The face of Shan Yeping, the Golden Core cultivator of the Heavenly Dao Sect, changed slightly.
He dreaded how to convey this painful news to Shangguan Yunji, “Was there an accident?”
Qiao Zhaoxian scowled and said gravely, “The information was wrong.
If not for Brother Chen of the Longevity Sect, we might not have been able to escape.”
“Hmm?” Shan Yeping was taken aback, and he turned to look at the humble Chen Dengming, who had white hair at the temples.
He certainly understood what Qiao Zhaoxian was suggesting.
The implication of ‘couldn’t escape’ was that, most likely, only Qiao Zhaoxian could have gotten away, given his notorious reputation as the ‘Qiao Escape’.
As for the term ‘Brother’, a dignified Heavenly Dao Sect cultivator would only address those he thought were more powerful than himself in such a respectful manner.
A seemingly unremarkable white-haired disciple of the Longevity Sect was more powerful than him, the candidate of the Heavenly Dao Sect?
“Brother Chen, let’s go together to report on the mission.”
Qiao Zhaoxian turned to Chen Dengming.
Chen Dengming was about to speak but quickly glanced at Yang Zidao and the others.
“Go on!”
Yang Zidao chuckled and nodded immediately, without a trace of jealousy in his heart.
Instead, he was overjoyed.
The others also shared He Yingyu’s attitude, showing encouragement with their eyes.

If it had been before, they wouldn’t have had a chance to stand out as disciples of the Longevity Sect.
Chen Dengming promptly saluted and chose to obey humbly.
Now that the Blazing Blood Demon had been killed by him, he couldn’t stay in the background anymore.
Continuing to keep a low profile would only make him seem strange.
He asked He Yingyu to head back to the cave dwelling first, and he, together with Qiao Zhaoxian and Shan Yeping, headed for the meeting hall.
In this inexplicable turn of events, he, a Danxiu who had only recently joined the Longevity Sect, had become the sect’s representative, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Daoist candidate of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Watching Chen Dengming’s retreating figure, Yang Zidao turned to He Yingyu and said, “Junior Sister He, Brother Chen’s shocking power has truly taken us by surprise this time.”
One of the disciples from the Heavenly Dao Sect, Ding, sighed, “I thought Brother Qiao was brave enough.
He was our role model.
But I didn’t expect…
someone even tougher is hiding within your Longevity Sect.”
“Who could’ve thought?” A few other disciples from the Heavenly Dao Sect shook their heads and laughed bitterly.
He Yingyu pushed a strand of hair from her face, revealing her smooth forehead.
A dignified smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
“Even when I first noticed him, I had no idea.”
The disciples from both sects looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.
They felt that the previous barriers and prejudices had disintegrated with this shared battle experience.
Despite that, this prejudice might still develop among other disciples in other circumstances.
However, at least among this group of comrades, it would not return.
…
That day, Zhu Guangbiao, a Golden Core cultivator from the Longevity Sect, and another Golden Core member of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Meng Zuoping, returned as well.
They too had survived a tough battle.
They had initially planned to use this battle to draw the attention of the Western Region’s demons and act as a diversion for Chen Dengming and the others, easing their pressure.
Unexpectedly, their enemy had predicted their strategy and had deliberately ambushed them.
Furthermore, the Blazing Blood Demon was deployed.
Fortunately, there were no severe consequences.
Having heard the complete debrief of the operation and seen the Audio-Visual Bead recording, Zhu Guangbiao and the others were both shocked and terrified.
They soon became very interested in Chen Dengming, the disciple who had turned the tide at the critical moment.
However, the war zone was not a place for civilities, and there was still much work to do systematically.
After the senior Golden Core cultivators had met with Chen Dengming in person, they courteously asked for the Blazing Blood Demon’s Divine Spirit for interrogation.
Chen Dengming had the rare experience of being treated with courtesy and respect by senior Golden Core cultivators.
When he had seen Zhu Guangbiao of his sect treating Qiao Zhaoxian politely in the past, he had felt a tinge of envy in his heart.
