Chapter 50: 047: Complete Chaos, the Feast of the Demonic Beasts_1 Chapter 50: 047: Complete Chaos, the Feast of the Demonic Beasts_1 Cornered by two Qi Cultivators at the fourth level and six other Cultivators, Chen Dengming was so scared that he nearly lost his nerve.
After escaping the encirclement, he dashed off madly and ran a great distance.
Not until he had repeatedly confirmed that no one was following him, did he suddenly turn around and speed off in another direction.
After doing this back and forth several times, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He squatted halfway on the ground, panting heavily.
At this moment, his sweat was pouring out like a burst dam, emitting a stream of hot white steam in the cold weather.
“Huff——huff——huff——”
Chen Dengming gasped for breath, listening to his heart pounding fiercely.
...
He patted the Golden Silkworm Gu that he had been hiding in his bosom, which he planned to use only in critical situations to save his life.
With a ‘swoosh’, the Golden Silkworm buzzed and flew out, circling around him as if comforting him not to panic.
The Blood Centipede Gu also flew out and lingered by his side at this moment, sometimes landing, its pincer-like sharp teeth grinding and wriggling as if savoring the bloody feast just now.
“Damn it!
I can’t believe they think so highly of me.
They sent two Qi Cultivators at the fourth level and six other Cultivators just to catch me?
Phew, it’s a good thing I was cautious…”
Rarely, Chen Dengming snapped out, both furious and scared afterward.
Had he reacted a little slower just now, he might have been surrounded.
Even if he had brought out his trump card, the Golden Silkworm Gu, it might not have been able to break through the encirclement quickly.
After all, that Lin Jun appeared to be very strong, and even had a middle-ranked Magic Artifact on him, and might be able to compete with the Golden Silkworm Gu.
If the Golden Silkworm Gu couldn’t change the situation immediately, he would have to pay a high price to break through the encirclement.
The other side had numbers on their side and would collectively cast spells on him.
He wouldn’t be able to hold on and would either be perforated or lose his combat strength.
Having gradually calmed down at this moment, Chen Dengming felt that something was off.
How come the people from Iron Forest Hall seemed to know as soon as Wu Chen invited him out, and had already set up an ambush in advance, waiting for him to fall into the trap?
To say that this was a chance encounter on the way was unlikely.
Where could there be such a large formation encountered by chance?
Unless the other side deliberately restrained, otherwise he would have sensed the Spiritual Might from a great distance.
And even if it was a coincidence, Lin Jun of Iron Forest Hall and another unknown Qi Cultivator at the fourth level, leading six other Cultivators, were preparing to go to Hutong Street, and on the way discovered him, and decided to catch him immediately, but the problem is…
How did the other side know their route and how did they immediately ambush in front?
“There’s a mole…”
Chen Dengming’s eyebrows furrowed, looking grave.
For now, he couldn’t determine who betrayed him and Wu Chen and others, trying to lead him to the Gu Refining Place.
It could be anyone, and even the traitor might not expose themselves.
The other party only needed to approach the Gu Refining Place, secretly tamper with some Gu Objects.
Once Wu Chen and others found out during their inspection, they would naturally come to find him for repairment, as it was his responsibility.
In this way, the whole process of luring him out of the gathering place was seamless and very natural, almost impeccable.
“I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing before leaving.
Iron Forest Hall still couldn’t help but make a move on me.”
Chen Dengming got up, looked in the direction of the gathering place, and his eyes showed a trace of firmness.
He couldn’t go back to the gathering place anymore.
At present, he couldn’t guarantee whether Iron Forest Hall had placed any spies outside his mansion.
And the mole who betrayed him might still be watching him.
Moreover, now that Iron Forest Hall had already made a move on him, they probably also had their eyes on Gold Word Workshop, and it would be impossible for Xu Ning to avoid getting involved.
A grand battle between Cultivators would break out in the gathering place soon.
“It’s a pity, though, my travel bag left in the mansion has twenty lower-ranked Spirit Stones in it…
The bag is hidden on the roof, I hope no one finds it, consider it my savings.
Even if someone found it, there’s a Spirit-stone Gu mixed in with the Spirit Stones…
ah, I hope it doesn’t hurt the innocent, anyone who doesn’t covet it won’t be affected.”

Chen Dengming felt a little regretful.
After comforting himself a bit, he turned around and set off again.
Fortunately, he didn’t put all his eggs in one basket.
Outside the gathering place, he had several locations where he has hidden assets that he could dig up at any moment.
Moreover, the most important item, the Soul Snatching Array Disk containing the Mini Array Spirit, was always carried with him.
Only the Soul Snatching Array Disk hidden in the Clear Cultivation Land was not retrieved, as that place was no longer safe.
Chen Dengming did not plan to retrieve it for the time being.
…
As it turned out, Chen Dengming’s decision to not return to the gathering place was the right one.
That same day, an intense battle between cultivators broke out in the gathering place.
Up to six different factions were involved in the conflict, and even the Gold Word Workshop couldn’t stay out of it.
Nearly a hundred cultivators battled throughout the night.
Chen Dengming, hiding in a crevice on the opposite side of the gathering place, shivered as he watched, feeling grateful that he didn’t return and show off his power.
Although winter arrived, the New Year had not yet begun.
The Fireball Techniques exploded inside the gathering place like New Year’s fireworks.
One could imagine the ferocity of the battle.
Behind each exploding Fireball Technique, like a firework, there was inevitably flying flesh and blood, and charred bodies.
That night, people fled from the gathering place in droves, not just ordinary people, but cultivators as well.
Hiding in the crevice where he once took refuge, Chen Dengming could occasionally hear people running past outside.
There were even fights taking place outside, and not far away, a woman’s frantic screams for mercy could be heard.
Later, that sound turned into a rhythm of submission from the weak to the strong.
In the end, that rhythm disappeared altogether.
In the second half of the night, an oppressive Spiritual Might filled with Evil Qi suddenly emerged.
What followed was a series of bizarre sounds, extremely frequent, as if swords were chopping down on the ground, and then…screams of fright echoed in the near and far distances.
“Demonic Beasts!”
Chen Dengming was jolted immediately from his cultivation state, grabbing his Ice Spirit Sword and summoning two Gu, his face extremely grave.
From that strange sound, he recognized that the Demonic Beast appearing outside was likely the same spider-like Demonic Beast from before, making his expression darken.
A great battle had taken place inside the gathering place, causing both loose cultivators and ordinary civilians to flee.
As a result, they became a feast for the Demonic Beasts in the night.
Demonic Beasts in winter, already lacking food and starving, it would already be nice if they didn’t attack the gathering place.
Now, the ‘food’ inside the gathering place had all run out of there on their own.
The harsh reality of the lower levels of the Cultivation World, was fully displayed on this one night.
The gathering place was originally a haven for loose cultivators and ordinary people to come together for warmth, but one marriage dispute between the Luo and Luo families, disturbed the long-maintained balance once again.
In one night, all illusions of peace were shattered.
Many people who didn’t die in the great battle inside the gathering place, ended up dying in the mouths of Demonic Beasts outside.
This was just a minor collision between a few cultivation families, yet the impact was unbearable for over three thousand people.
What if it were a bigger battle between major cultivation sects?
Perhaps the entire Southern Region would be swept up in the war and ordinary people would suffer greatly.
“A petal blown from the lofty cultivation sects, dropping on many people, might be the same as a massive mountain crushing countless people to death, isn’t it?”
That night, Chen Dengming remained vigilant without any rest, shrinking warily into the crevice, with two Gu objects guarding his sides, and the Mini Array Spirit silently hiding inside the Array Plate.
They kept this strange combination until dawn.
The sounds of Demonic Beasts feasting and dragging away their prey finally retreated into the distance…
