The Elders Who Combine Kindness and Authority_2 Chapter 913: 370: The Legend of Ghost Emperor Yuan!
The Elders Who Combine Kindness and Authority_2 Bi Renshan and some Array Masters and Disciples were not yet qualified to be summoned by him.
As for Feng Qingbo, who was a waverer and used to follow the Lord indecisively, even though he has now switched sides to make accomplishments, Chen Dengming still didn’t like him at heart.
With such thoughts in mind, Zuo Qiuling simply dressed in plain clothes and went with a smile to the courtyard where Chen Dengming resided to celebrate and exchange pleasantries.
…
“Elder Zuo has arrived!”
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
As Zuo Qiuling arrived outside the residence, Chen Dengming was somewhat taken aback and promptly cast several Cleaning Skills before ordering the children to tidy up the room.
...
Only then did he hurriedly Open Gate, welcoming him politely, “Why has our venerable elder come in person to my humble abode?
If there’s anything you need, a simple summons would have sufficed.”
“Sect Leader Chen, you are no longer the unknown cultivator of the past, the Daoist friend Chen, but the renowned Fighting Longevity Monarch.
There’s no need to be so courteous with me.” Zuo Qiuling stepped inside, shaking his head with a laugh.
Chen Dengming, looking as naive as always, laughed, “In the Cultivation World, it is said that those who reach the pinnacle can be teachers.
Elder Zuo, your cultivation is profound, and it is only right for Chen to be courteous.
To not be courteous would be presumptuous.”
These humble words struck right at Zuo Qiuling’s heart, who nodded in approval with a smile.
“Sect Leader Chen, indeed you are a fine person.
I have seen too many cultivators who are extremely modest when their power is weak but become overbearing when they are strong.
To remain consistent like you is truly commendable!”
“Alas, most of the world criticizes and insults me!
Little do they know my nature is honest and earnest,” Chen Dengming thought to himself with a self-deprecatory tone.
He was used to being modest in daily life, and only in battle might he appear arrogant and brazen to match his spirit and unnerve his enemies.
However, this resulted in the undeserved ill-reputation of being arrogant and overbearing, a misunderstanding by those who did not truly know him, ruining his reputation without cause.
“Alright, you know why I have come, do you not?” Zuo Qiuling returned to the topic at hand.
Chen Dengming immediately motioned for him to enter, saying with a smile, “I’ve already received your notification, Elder.
It is indeed a matter for joyous celebration, please, Elder Zuo, come inside.
My spouse has prepared some light tea, let’s sit and talk it over.”
…
According to the message from Zuo Qiuling, it was indeed momentous news, and Chen Dengming had indeed made a great contribution.
It turned out that the Nascent Soul Soul Arrows he had shot, along with the Ruthless Old Demon’s Nascent Soul, had been transmitted to a key stronghold of the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators.
And that stronghold just happened to be an important node within the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Sacrifice Dao Domain, which even concealed a Flesh and Blood Demon Embryo of the Demon Lord, extremely well-hidden, never before discovered by the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance.
Unexpectedly, the Soul Arrow shot by Chen Dengming had followed the Ruthless Old Demon’s Nascent Soul into the interior of the stronghold by sheer luck, and subsequently, both exploded together.
“The destructive force produced by the explosion of the two Nascent Souls directly destroyed that important stronghold, with only the old Nascent Soul monsters from the Sky Earth Sword Hall at the location managing to escape.
The Flesh and Blood Demon Embryo of the Outer Domain Devil Lord also remained unscathed, but all other cultivators perished, and the facilities were completely destroyed…”
Zuo Qiuling took a sip of tea and laughed, “If it weren’t for the Ruthless Old Demon’s Nascent Soul being fortuitously transported into the interior of this stronghold, even if our Counterattack Cultivator Alliance had discovered this stronghold, we wouldn’t have been able to take it down without deploying many senior cultivators and suffering casualties…”
Chen Dengming shook his head with regret, “It’s a pity that we still could not destroy the Outer Domain Devil Lord’s Flesh and Blood Demon Embryo.”
“That’s good enough.”
Zuo Qiuling shook his head, “That Demon Embryo is guarded by a Formation.
It’s not easy to destroy.
Destroying this stronghold, it will take them a long time to rebuild.
Such nodes that provide power to the Flesh and Blood Demon Embryos are far more important than other nodes within the Ten Thousand Demons Blood Sacrifice Dao Domain used for sacrificial offerings.”
“Overall, you have made a meritorious deed this time.
I’ve already reported your contributions, and you should tell the higher-ups what you need,” he persisted.
When the conversation turned to rewards, a smile appeared on Chen Dengming’s face, “The Giant Deer Robe I exchanged for last time came with only one robe and pants.
Does the Cultivator Alliance still have any robes left?”
“That…” Zuo Qiuling appeared astonished, “You’re still using the Giant Deer Robe?”
Chen Dengming, “Elder Zuo, what do you mean by that?”
Chen Dengming was suspicious, thinking whether the old man had sent him the Giant Deer Robe, convinced that he wouldn’t use it for long, knowing the robe’s rebellious spirit.
“It’s not that.
As you know, many others in the past also used the Giant Deer Robe, but their ends…”
Zuo Qiuling shook his head, marveled and raising his thumb, “It seems Sect Leader Chen really has some techniques to subdue and control even the Giant Deer Robe.
Impressive, indeed impressive.
Truly a remarkable talent among men.”
“Where, where, it’s mainly because the Giant Deer was kind enough not to harm me with its antlers; otherwise, my end would have been quite tragic.” Chen Dengming replied intently, still watching Zuo Qiuling with a smile.
Zuo Qiuling felt uncomfortable inside, changing the subject awkwardly, “Alright, alright, whatever you request this time, just go ahead and ask the higher-ups, and I’ll fully support you.
But as for the Giant Deer Robe, it’s an item from many years ago.
The Robe itself is likely lost, and probably impossible to replace.”
He paused, his expression turning solemn, “By the way, I heard that you negotiated with the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch, saying that you would guarantee the trade channel for Ghost Shade resources and the Mortal World?”
Chen Dengming’s heart skipped a beat, instantly filled with a myriad of thoughts.
He understood that Zuo Qiuling bringing up this matter was not only to divert the topic but also to establish his position, reminding him to speak with proper respect.
However, he had already anticipated that this matter could reach Zuo Qiuling’s ears.
