The Emotional Value of Chen Baimao (Extra Chapter for Monthly Ticket)_3 Chapter 522: 234: The truth lies only in taking action!
The Emotional Value of Chen Baimao (Extra Chapter for Monthly Ticket)_3 However, in the next instant, a sudden chill washed over him, an intense killing intent bearing down on him.
It was as if he had plummeted into an ice cave, his whole body freezing, and all his anger extinguished instantly.
As he lifted his head, he saw the cold, sharp gaze of Chen Dengming.
It was like a lethal blade piercing straight to his heart, making him feel an inexplicable wave of palpitations and weakness.
The sudden thought of the Golden Core who had died at Chen’s hands caused a feeling of weakness to wash over him.
...
At this point, he could feel an immense amount of Wood Element spiritual energy invading his body.
It spread like spider silk, sticking and entangling his entire body.
His body was stiff, like a wooden block, incapable of moving, and his Dan power was sluggish.
Zhuang Fangyu’s eyes darted around, as if possessed by a ghost.
He seemed lost, unsure of where he was or why he was here.
His mind was in complete chaos.
He was subdued!
He was a respected mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, and yet he was subdued so quickly by an early-stage Golden Core cultivator!
Although his opponent was Longevity Daozi, possessing Dao power, this could be forgiven.
But the humiliation…
This was even worse than killing him!
“Would he dare to kill me?
He wouldn’t dare to kill me.
He absolutely wouldn’t dare.”
“No, no, no, I can’t gamble.
He’s a madman, an anomaly of the Longevity Sect.”
Zhuang Fangyu’s body was as if charged with electricity, jolting with consciousness from his obsessions.
He couldn’t die.
He had painstakingly cultivated to his current state, with at least three hundred more good years to live.
He couldn’t die yet.
With profound hope, he looked at the icy gaze of Chen Dengming.

His heart pounded wildly as he mustered the words.
“I’ve lost.
I admit defeat.
Luo Mountain City is yours.
I concede it to you.
I absolutely won’t cause trouble again.”
To speak the words of defeat was unbearably painful.
To ask for mercy was even harder for him to express.
But the fearful light in his eyes had already betrayed his vulnerability.
Chen Dengming, of course, could read this vulnerability.
This vulnerability was exactly what he needed.
Once vulnerable, one is prone to mistakes, creating an atmosphere which forces one’s opponent to achieve the desired objective.
Such a psychological tactic could only work at this specific moment – when the opponent has been defeated and their spirit frightened, filled with immense fear.
Otherwise, if allowed to regain complete consciousness, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, with his wisdom and peace of mind, would realize he was not at risk of being killed over a small conflict, thus putting himself in an adverse situation and no longer fearing coercion.
“Swear with your Dao Heart, make a Dao Heart Contract, to voluntarily return Luo Mountain City to me and you will not pursue this matter in the alliance!”
Chen Dengming’s tiger-like eyes radiated power as he fiercely stared at Zhuang Fangyu.
Zhuang Fangyu was as tense as a stone, his heart sunken and heavy as if filled with cold lead.
He had been planning to give up Luo Mountain City to save his own life.
At Chen’s words, he hesitated slightly.
Seeing Chen’s gaze growing colder, he immediately swore the Dao Heart Contract without hesitation.
After issuing the Dao Heart Contract…
Chen Dengming slightly nodded his head, casually set Zhuang Fangyu down, and frankly said, “We, the cultivators of the Longevity Sect, don’t seek trouble, but we aren’t afraid of it either.”
“I was able to easily defeat you this time and I can do it again.
If you renege…”
At the moment Zhuang Fangyu was released, he regretted his oath, guessed Chen wouldn’t really kill him, and realized he had been intimidated.
But at Chen’s words, he felt a tightening in his chest, his mind filled with increasing restlessness.
He knew Chen was right.
He had been defeated this time; if he provoked Chen again, he might not be let off so easily.
Provoking such a formidable enemy over Luo Mountain City, what was the point?
Previously, it had been about personal pride and the reputation of his sect.
He didn’t believe Chen Dengming could do anything to him and was stubbornly unyielding.
But now…his pride was gone, his reputation lost.
Longevity Daozi really did have the terrifying power to kill him, so why resist?
Once he understood this, Zhuang Fangyu felt his muscles and nerves suddenly relax.
In the blasted cave, he didn’t care about losing face.
He wore a smile on his face and hurriedly promised he wouldn’t dare.
Watching Zhuang Fangyu fawning, Chen Dengming felt a sense of boredom.
He had not yet used the Human Immortal Dao body, and he had surprisingly already defeated the opponent.
Was this mid-stage Golden Core cultivator not weak, or was the power of the Dao Orthodoxy too strong?
He pondered in his heart like a flash of lightning, and came to the conclusion that it was probably because the power of the two Dao Orthodoxies was too strong.
Originally, the power of Human Immortal Dao could even break through the Dan power of a great cultivator in the Golden Core when he was still at the False Core.
The gap between the False Core and the Golden Core was much larger than the gap between the early and the mid-stage Golden Core stage.
Now that he is in the early stage Golden Core and possesses the power of the Heaven Immortal Dao, combined with his Heavenly Vision, He could have an understanding of the opponents Dan power deployment situation and the weaknesses of their skills.
This was how he could guarantee his victory even before the battle began.
“So…
have I become this strong?
It seems that unless they are like Old Qiao, those who also possess the Dao power, I should be able to handle the ordinary mid-stage Golden Core cultivators…”
Chen Dengming fell into deep thought, then turned around with his hands behind his back and flew out of the cave with Zhuang Fangyu, who had already been subdued.
For the time being, he dared not compare his fighting power with that of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
Because the Dan power of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator could probably be more than ten times stronger than his.
Overcoming ten with one.
No matter how strong the Dao power was, it would inevitably exist in a state of loss.
In the hands of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, being able to survive would already be good enough.
…
In the distance.
Panfeng waited in horror, seeing his ancestor look like a defeated rooster, flying out of the smoke-filled area with Longevity Daozi, he couldn’t help but be dumbstruck.
What exactly was going on?
“Daoist Sir!”
At this moment, Zhuang Fangyu had also regained his energy, and looked at Chen Dengming with a complex and defeated expression, sighing.
“You knew you were going to win before you made a move against me, so you ignored the conditions I proposed.
Were the items I offered of insignificant value, or were you not satisfied?”
Chen Dengming glanced a flat gaze at Zhuang Fangyu, standing still in mid-air, calmly saying.
“I truly wasn’t interested in the few things you offered.
But most importantly, there was a valuable item missing in your offer.”
Zhuang Fangyu was stunned, “What is it?”
Chen Dengming looked deeply into Zhuang Fangyu’s eyes, and said, “Emotional value is also valuable!
You hurt my brother and robbed my Immortal City, which already annoyed me.
This is something Spirit Crystals can’t make up for.”
Zhuang Fangyu was taken aback.
Emotional value!?
Was this what Longevity Daozi was seeking?
It wasn’t mainly about the value of material resources, but the pursuit of spiritual emotional value.
What kind of resources has a cultivator amassed for such a consideration?
“Now I want you to experience, what emotional value means!”
Chen Dengming flew towards the golden carriage pulled by the Foundation Establishment demonic beasts he had kept at a distance, and said.
“I like this mount.
It will make up for the interest you owe me for seizing my Immortal City.”
“You…”
Zhuang Fangyu suddenly felt like there was a clump of cotton stuck in his throat and uncomfortable.
The wrinkles on his face were crinkled like a bitter gourd.
At this moment, he experienced what emotional value meant.
He also came to understand why Chen Dengming was unwilling to accept his initiative to reconcile…
…
