Interrogating Ghost Lady_2 Chapter 910: 369: Achievement!
Change!
Interrogating Ghost Lady_2 “I’ve heard that within the Dao of Immortality of the Longevity Sect, one great advantage is the ability to reshape Heavenly Time, where one day in the heavens is one year on earth, greatly accelerating the pace of cultivation, but it greatly consumes one’s lifespan at an accelerated rate.
This Chen Dengming always has white hair at his temples, so perhaps despite looking young, he’s actually quite old in years.”
Thinking of this, Shangguan Linjiang felt a bit comforted by the contrast.
After discussing amongst themselves, the group followed Elder Zuo to the council hall, detailing the entire process of the plan’s execution, and produced the recorded Audio-Visual Beads as evidence.
...
These plans would be recorded according to everyone’s performance in the Merit Record Book, and the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance would issue Merit Points, ensuring their effort was not in vain.
However, during the report, they learned that Chen Dengming alone had dispatched two Outer Realm Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.
Among them was Tao Tian, the Ruthless Old Demon who was the Lord of one of the four paths of the Demon Sect, leaving everyone including Elder Zuo quite shocked.
“Sect Leader Chen, truly there are only mistaken names, no mistaken titles given, the title of Fighting Longevity Monarch suits you well indeed…”
Elder Zuo’s face showed his elation and excitement.
The four paths of the Demon Sect—Heartless, Unfeeling, Emotionless, Passionate—all brimming with strong figures, each old demon head vicious and cunning.
Normally, not to mention killing one, just surviving an encounter with these old demon heads would be considered quite formidable.
Yet in this latest mission, Chen Dengming alone had killed Nalan Huishan, the bewitching female demon of the Passion Palace, who was one of the two Nascent Souls and a vice palace lord there.
In addition, he also eliminated the ruthless ruler of the Unfeeling Palace, Tao Tian.
Now the Unfeeling Palace has only an early-stage Nascent Soul elder and an unfeeling Demon Child whose Golden Core is barely complete to maintain appearances.
With the nature of the Demon Sect, it wouldn’t be surprising if conflict and competition arose between the Demon Child and that elder, and troubles might keep arising internally and externally.
“Elder Zuo, we shouldn’t be overly optimistic.”
Chen Dengming quickly corrected Elder Zuo’s boasting, not daring to overstate, “With that last arrow of mine, although I hit the Unfeeling Old Demon, and I was 70% sure of killing him, there is no final outcome yet…”
“Ah!——”
Elder Zuo raised a hand to stop him and said, “Sect Leader Chen, since you have already hit the Unfeeling Old Demon’s Nascent Soul and you say you were 70% sure, then the outcome must be almost certain.
We will all just quietly await the good news.”
He paused in his speech, then immediately smiled and said, “No, no need to wait in silence.
I will immediately investigate and clarify the situation.
Even if that Unfeeling Old Demon is still alive, his situation must be extremely dire, and it’s unknown if he can Reforge his cultivation.
Moreover, Sect Leader Chen, you called upon the help of the Lord, and most likely the Blood God has been vanquished too, marking another great achievement!”
Chen Dengming heard this and chose to remain silent.
He vaguely discerned Elder Zuo’s intention; any further modesty wouldn’t be appropriate.
Elder Zuo’s current rhetoric was possibly meant to use his battle achievements to uplift spirits and offset the despair and sense of dereliction from Chai Shun’s physical destruction.
Otherwise, without establishing any achievements and losing a major general would indicate that the plan he initiated was a failure, and the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance might even impose penalties.
Now with two Nascent Soul heavyweights lost in the camp of the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators and the possible fall of the Blood God, this was a victory worth celebrating.
…
After leaving the council hall, Chen Dengming sensed subtle changes in the attitudes of Feng Qingbo and several other Nascent Soul Cultivators towards him.
With his level of spiritual insight, he was keenly aware of these shifts.
His mind clear as a mirror, he knew that the strength he had displayed caused everyone to reassess him, no longer viewing him as merely a freshly advanced Nascent Soul with a bit of strength and luck.
“Sect Leader Chen, are you still unable to contact the Lord?”
At the time of parting, Feng Qingbo cautiously inquired.
Chen Dengming shook his head, “I still can’t make contact, but you need not worry about his safety.”
Feng Qingbo laughed heartily, “Of course, I’m not worried about the Lord’s safety, I’m just very curious if the Blood God is truly dead?
If he is indeed dead, that means the Lord has added another Divine Transformation tier to his list of vanquished foes, earning another portion of merit.”
This remark immediately caught everyone’s attention, with Su Yanyan’s beautiful eyes flashing as she too stared intently at Chen Dengming.
Chen Dengming nodded solemnly, “He is indeed dead, most likely gone without a trace, as all of his Incense Believers have dispersed.”
“Good riddance, that insidious old creature.
As long as he lived, none of us could rest easy.”
Everyone sighed in relief upon hearing this.
Given the critical situation at the time, only Chen Dengming could sense the Blood God’s life or death status.

Even now, when certainty was not yet fully established, Chen Dengming’s word was taken as close to the truth.
Otherwise, facing such a shameless and ruthless Divine Transformation Cultivator assassinating Nascent Soul Cultivators, everyone would feel a thorn in their side on the battlefield, unable to fight freely.
However, what everyone didn’t know was that the Blood God’s final demise was partly due to Chen Dengming’s intervention, though only Su Yanyan had a vague suspicion of some information.
But since Chen Dengming hadn’t spoken about it, she glanced at him and chose not to speculate or speak further.
The two maintained a subtle understanding.
“After the arduous fight, everyone is worn out.
Go back and rest well.
With the severe losses inflicted on the camp of Outer Realm Evil Cultivators, the coming times are likely not going to be peaceful.”
Chen Dengming looked at the distant sky still shrouded in heavy, oppressive clouds, then turned to the people around him and politely made his farewells.
