Exploration of the Land of Fallen (Added for monthly ticket)_1 Half a day later.
After communicating with Xing Huiguang and the two ancestral elders, Chen Dengming understood the current condition of the sect and the Four Regions as well as the mission he was about to undertake — to establish a new Sect base in the Four Regions for the Longevity Sect, ready to receive the sect at any time for a large-scale migration.
In a sense, this mission seemed to be a test for him from the ancestral elders.
If he could accomplish it successfully, he would succeed Xing Huiguang and become the next Sect Leader of the Longevity Sect, presiding over a top Sect.
He might have sneered at the idea of a mission when he was a Loose Cultivator.
...
Just like discussing ideals with a person worrying about whether to eat three meals or two meals a day was absurd.
But now, as Chen Dengming, a Longevity Daoist, the considerations are naturally beyond daily survival.
Even it was no longer a personal issue, but an issue for the entire sect.
The resources and prestige he enjoys now are all tied with the Longevity Sect, sharing both glory and loss.
Naturally, the mission falls on the shoulders of the Longevity Daoist, him.
“We have a way in the Land of Fallen, it’s risky but quite developed.
That was explored and established by One Ancestor and Ancestor years ago.
Decades ago, I had gone there to develop it once, resolved some minor issues, and now that path should still be safe…”
Inside the Longevity Hall, Second Ancestor Jiang Jian paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, explaining to Chen Dengming.
“Chen kid, don’t you have Old Hualong’s clone skill?
I heard you’ve improved it.
You can send a clone to scout first, and when it’s confirmed to be safe, you can lead some people there.
In the meantime, stay in the sect and prepare the spells and magic treasures you will need.
Ge will also fully cooperate with you….”
“Alright, thank you, Second Martial Uncle.”
When the two ancestral elders said they would arrange for him to find a new Sect base in the Four Regions, Chen Dengming had already suspected that the sect might have a path leading to the Four Regions just like the North Spirit Sect.
Such a path is a highly confidential resource for a sect and an escape route left by the sect.
Giving this path to him now undoubtedly demonstrates the trust and expectations they have for him.
However, what made him more pleased was the opportunity to stay in the sect for a while longer, rather than leaving immediately.
‘Planning before taking action’ and ‘being fully prepared’ were old traditions of the Longevity Sect.
At present, the mission assigned to him is just a precautionary plan, it’s better to do it slowly and steadily than to panic and rush.
During this time, he had plenty of time to fleece Master Ge and prepare the necessary spells and magic artifacts.
“Brother, you must remember, people’s hearts are hard to see through, don’t easily trust others, especially when you’re out.”
Xing Huiguang specifically advised, his expression was slightly tired and melancholy.
Chen Dengming sensed something and asked, “Brother Xing, what happened?”
Xing Huiguang shook his head and said regretfully, “Your Brother Zhu has betrayed us.
He has been in the Longevity Sect for so many years, and we have been friends for many years.
I never expected that I was wrong about him….”
“Zhu Guangbiao?”
Chen Dengming was stunned for a moment, full of doubts and sighs.
He had already known that there was a spy in the sect when he was secretly arranged by the sect to leave more than a dozen days ago.
He deliberately left a clone to replace himself in order to deceive the spy in the sect.
It was unexpected that the spy turned out to be Zhu Guangbiao.
The other party was a member of the Main Battle Faction and had led him to the battlefield.
Later he even begrudged him for causing trouble for the sect due to his prominence, he didn’t expect….
Xing Huiguang shook his head, “He has already confessed.
In fact, when you participated in the plan to assassinate the Mosha Prince, he had already betrayed once, and he prematurely leaked the information about the assassination mission to the Mosha Prince, allowing him to set up a trap and secretly summon six demon generals.
If it weren’t for your unexpected combat power, that battle would have been disastrous for you…”
Chen Dengming frowned, a chill ran down his spine.
No wonder that secretive assassination mission planned by the Eastern Region fell directly into the Mosha Prince’s trap, it turned out that Zhu Guangbiao had already betrayed them.
Second Ancestor Jiang Jian said coldly, “That little Zhu, he’s a double-crosser.
In fact, he didn’t completely turn, he has been hovering between the East and West Territories, this time he didn’t know our plans and thought the sect was in great danger, so he completely betrayed us.
He is now under our control.”
At these words, Chen Dengming didn’t know what to say.
Human hearts are complex and difficult to predict.
Even though he had the heart tradition of the Human Immortal Dao System, he couldn’t see through the deepest thoughts and malice of cultivators at the same level unless he invaded their spirits.
It was normal for Brother Xing to have misjudged Zhu Guangbiao.
“Alright.”
At this time, Third Ancestor Su Yanyan stared at Chen Dengming and said, “One Ancestor is listening to the Ancestor’s teachings to prepare for the Divine Transformation breakthrough in the future, so he can’t see you.
The Demon Cultivation of the Western Region and the cultivators’ alliance of the Northern Region are also brewing a new offensive.
We may not be able to see you for a while.
There are many powerful people in the Four Regions, you must not be rash and aggressive when you are there.
Do you have any other requirements?
Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.
Let’s hear it.”
Looking at the indifference and fascinating charm in Third Ancestor’s gentle words, Chen Dengming felt moved and hurriedly saluted, saying.
“I wish to visit Dao Orthodoxy once more, to see if I can have the opportunity to understand something more…”
