Myriad Kills of Three Souls to Sacrifice the Banner, Devilish Sect Scoundrel Meets Golden Core

From Lüo Bing's expression, Chen Dengming sensed her doubt. However, he could no longer trust her and didn't know which of her words were true, which were false, or if they were all false.

Given the other party's profit-driven and indifferent nature, they seem capable of doing anything in pursuit of profit, even a sudden act of kindness or goodwill might be driven by the pursuit of self-interest.

So, when he was still down on his luck, was the Luo Family Token also for her own benefit? And when he was unable to Cultivation World, was her willingness to intercede on his behalf also for her own benefit?

"Whether it's clear-cut or incomprehensible, it doesn't matter anymore; perhaps it was just a fleeting, spontaneous act of kindness."

Chen Dengming shifted his gaze to a figure faintly crying amidst the swirling blood mist in the air; that was the source of his unease.

His eyes were icy cold as he put Xu Wei's corpse into his Storage Bag. Suddenly, he soared into the air and flew up to become Golden Gang Spirit Venerable. The enormous spirit venerable rose directly into the air.

The spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage spread out, and the Divine Sense between his brows leaped like thunder and flames, firmly locking onto the figure of the cultivator within the blood mist opposite him, and he said coldly.

"You just said you were looking for me? Who are you?"

"This"

"This person Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Even if he is indeed our target, it's best if we don't engage him directly."

"Good, we have achieved our objective. There's no need to injure or kill anyone."

After exchanging glances, the three cultivators in the air hesitated. The cultivator within the blood mist then slowly retreated, shrinking the blood mist as he said, "Sir, there might be a misunderstanding. The person we're looking for is just a Rogue Cultivator; he certainly doesn't possess your level of cultivation."

The other two cultivators also retreated upon seeing this. They both knew what they had done that was excessive. Although they had followed orders and had not gone too far, it was still a great enmity.

Therefore, the party that hires them will never show up in person; they consider their mission accomplished once the person is found. But now...

A sharp cry suddenly rang out from the increasingly contracting, churning blood mist.

The crying immediately triggered Chen Dengming's nerves, causing his unease to erupt intensely once again. In a short moment, he almost couldn't control the urge to kill three times, as if the crying child had a great connection to him.

Almost at the instant the child's cries rang out, the blood mist shrank into a fist-sized ball of blood, which suddenly burst forth and appeared as a child's blood-red face, about to rush straight toward Chen Dengming.

Damn it!

The cultivator controlling the blood mist changed his expression slightly, cursed under his breath, and tried to collect the blood while quickly retreating by transmitting a message.

"Let's go! He must be Chen Dengming. We don't need to fight him. Let's send a message to our employer."

"Leave!"

Seeing that the cultivator was about to retreat after collecting the blood ball, Chen Dengming let out a sharp cry, and the Divine Sense between his brows shot out like three bolts of lightning, hitting the three people simultaneously in an instant.

All three shuddered. Two of them screamed and nearly fell off the ground, while the one who collected the blood sac let out a muffled groan, his eyes showing a hint of panic.

What the hell!?

The information the employer provided about the target was ridiculously wrong...

Not only does he possess the strength of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but he also has mastered a Secret Method of Divine Sense?

More money! You absolutely must pay more afterwards!

Just then, the Divine Transformation Blade flashed and struck the leading cultivator who had collected the blood ball like lightning.

With a roar, the Golden Gang Spirit Venerable charged directly at the other person with overwhelming momentum.

"Enough! The three of us are merely following orders. Don't push your luck!"

Anger flashed in the eyes of the leading cultivator, and a powerful Foundation Establishment Late Stage spiritual might suddenly erupted from his body. With a flick of his sleeve, two sharp blades, one long and one short, transformed into two streaks of green light, instantly clashing with the lightning-fast Divine Transformation Blade, producing an astonishing metallic tremor.

But in that instant, the Divine Transformation Blade suddenly shone brightly, splitting into countless rays of light that swirled around its blade and rushed towards the high-voltage current. With a hissing and crackling sound, it swept past the two sharp blades and headed straight for the leading cultivator.

At the same time, Chen Dengming leaned forward, his hands forming a hand seal and coiling inward to grab.

A large expanse of golden, shimmering energy suddenly appeared beside the two Foundation Establishment cultivators who were fleeing, swirling up and engulfing them.

"Drink!--!"

The leading cultivator, who was being swirled and pulverized by thousands of blades, let out a roar like a thunderclap from a clear sky, and a ring of tortoise-shell-like defensive Spirit Artifact appeared around his body.

Instantly, the Spirit Artifact was shattered and forced back by the thousands of blades carrying Thunderbolt Arc, and the cultivator himself was also sent flying dozens of feet away.

The air currents surged, as if the air itself had been sliced open, leaving long, startling streaks.

But in that instant, a dozen talismans, accompanied by a golden thread, suddenly flew from the position of the leading cultivator, enveloping the area where Chen Dengming was located.

After the talisman flashed and exploded, it formed more than a dozen pale white flames that simultaneously contracted along with the golden threads.

Bang!

A piece of wood replaced Chen Dengming's figure, swallowed up by the fierce attack.

"The Substitute Peach Tree Technique!?"

The leading cultivator was startled and immediately sensed something was wrong. Before he could think, he quickly activated his robe and defensive Spirit Artifact.

But in that instant, Chen Dengming's figure appeared on a tree on the ground below him. His eyes flashed with sharp light, and the divine light he shot out was like a cold lightning bolt with a frost blade. It was wrapped with a powerful Divine Sense and shot directly at the leading cultivator.

The other person's body suddenly stiffened.

With a "clang," in an instant, the Divine Transformation Blade condensed into an eight-zhang-long greatsword. A dazzling blade light shot straight up, its radiant light shining like lightning onto the face of the leading cultivator before slashing down fiercely, its chilling blade aura terrifying to the soul.

"Clang"!!

A violent, thunderous roar erupted instantly in mid-air, stirring up large plumes of white mist and airwaves accompanied by arcs of lightning.

However, the tortoise-shell-shaped defensive Law Artifact surrounding the leading cultivator only developed cracks, but its surface still vibrated with rings of gray spiritual energy pulses, forcefully resisting the onslaught of the fierce sword energy.

With a cold snort, Chen Dengming simultaneously formed hand seals, and two enormous spiraling golden spears suddenly appeared, transforming into streaks of golden lightning that struck the opponent's back with power far exceeding that of normal Golden Spear Technique.

In the blink of an eye, one golden spear after another was summoned by Chen Dengming with both hands simultaneously, and they were launched at the opponent in a very short time.

The master-level Golden Spear Technique was incredibly powerful, leaving deep dents in the defensive Law Artifact surrounding the opposing leader's body.

On the ground on the other side.

Seeing that Chen Dengming had single-handedly restrained three Foundation Establishment in the Lüo Bing's beautiful eyes flashed with shock.

In particular, one of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator was at a disadvantage in his fight with Chen Dengming, while the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators were either entangled by the Golden Gang Spirit Venerable or barely managed to escape.

This situation was completely beyond her expectations.

"Has he really come into contact with the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage? Otherwise, how could he display such astonishing combat power?"

She was taken aback, but without hesitation, she leaped up to intercept a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was trying to escape.

These people weren't summoned by her in the first place. Now that Chen Dengming has misunderstood them, she might as well take the initiative to clear up the misunderstanding.

"Aaaaah! This is outrageous!!"

The leading cultivator, who was being frantically and passively attacked, let out a wild roar, and a triangular magic Law Artifact appeared in front of him.

The Law Artifact flashed with spiritual light, instantly unleashing three blue-green rays resembling startled snakes.

Boom!!

It was as if three giant thunderbolts resounded above Chen Dengming's head, and the Divine Transformation Blade and the golden spears were all shaken and shattered. The fierce roar seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart.

"The robes of a judge who died unjustly!"

Once freed, the leading cultivator suddenly threw off his black robe, and a chilling aura instantly plunged the world into darkness!

Chen Dengming felt his vision suddenly darken, and countless magical Law Artifact, like black lines, swept in from all directions in an instant, followed by an extremely cold and chilling aura.

"Curse?"

Chen Dengming's sleeves trembled, and with Heart-Illuminating Mirror of Shattering Delusions flew out in an instant, dispelling all kinds of negative, cold auras and Curse, while shooting out a bluish-white exorcising mirror light.

However, the moment a beam of Cyan Light struck, countless black lines that had been coiling around it began to writhe, their momentum slowing slightly before continuing to shoot forward.

Chen Dengming realized that his spiritual senses had lost track of the other party's presence.

Even the Little Array Spirit Soul House didn't notice.

He suddenly made a hand seal, and his body vanished from the spot in an instant.

With a 'bang', a piece of wood was pierced and torn apart by countless black lines.

But just a few feet away, his figure was forcibly forced out, his face grim.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"

Countless black lines, like maggots clinging to bones, surged forth once more.

Chen Dengming's eyes flashed, and he suddenly patted the Storage Bag.

The Soul Guiding Banner suddenly appeared, and amidst the howling of the Yin Wind, the ghostly shadows of the brothers Zhu Xun appeared in an instant, their bluish-white, ferocious gazes suddenly focusing on one spot.

Evil spirits and resentment!

This is a strange power completely different from ordinary ghost cultivators and spirits. It is born from human emotions and desires, and even if one hides and conceals their presence, it is difficult to escape being locked on.

Almost the instant Zhu Xun locked onto his target, Chen Dengming's Divine Sense, like a sharp guillotine, ignored the sweeping black lines and instantly struck a figure behind them.

A miserable groan suddenly came from the darkness.

Chen Dengming forcefully gathered his spiritual energy, and suddenly transformed into a blade of light, wielding the Divine Transformation Blade, becoming one with the blade, in a flash.

The eight-foot-long blade flashed and instantly tore open a large section of black silk.

A figure appeared, attempting to escape.

"Certainly!"

Chen Dengming pointed out, and a large area of Golden Light instantly enveloped the opponent's body, holding its own against the Spiritual Qi erupting from the opponent for a moment, and turning part of the opponent's body surface into metal.

In that instant, the Divine Transformation Blade struck the opponent's body fiercely, tearing through the metallized surface and revealing a large patch of blood-like light.

"Puff!--"

The leading cultivator felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stared in disbelief at Chen Dengming's eyes, which were as cold as lightning. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly unleashed a burst of powerful spiritual energy to resist the invasion of the sword energy, transmitting his Divine Sense.

"You can't kill me! Don't you want to know who the employer is? Don't you want to know about the child you had in Nanxun?"

A terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted in Chen Dengming's eyes, his mind seemed to explode like a thousand thunderbolts, and a fierce shout came from his Divine Sense.

Who is it!? Where is my child?

Taking advantage of Chen Dengming's brief moment of mental clarity, the leading cultivator quickly formed hand seals, and his Spiritual Qi circulated rapidly within his body.

However, before his Technique Method could take effect, the blade light suddenly exploded, transforming into hundreds of astonishing blade lights, like countless ferocious and bloodthirsty beasts extending countless sharp claws, tearing the prey's body to shreds into Flesh and Blood, with blood mist spreading everywhere, and the surrounding black threads instantly contracting and disappearing.

"You"

The leading cultivator stared wide-eyed, his body mostly reduced to a bloody pulp, his rapidly dimming eyes revealing intense resentment and astonishment.

"You harm my offspring, and I'll make you wish you were dead, then I'll interrogate you thoroughly!"

Chen Dengming's eyes hardened with coldness. The moment he shook the Soul Guiding Banner, he suddenly drew a faint wisp of divine Soul Spirit that had just flown out from the other party's body into the Soul Guiding Banner.

"--No!!"

The faint divine Soul Spirit struggled frantically, filled with terror, its face contorted in extreme horror. Its powerful Soul Power, at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, fiercely resisted Chen Dengming.

"Roar!--"

The brothers Zhu Xun from the banner appeared just in time, fierce and menacing, baring their fangs and claws. After evolving into Fierce Ghost, they had nothing but guts. Even though their Soul Power was obviously weaker, they still kicked the leader's Soul Body hard.

Instantly, the Soul Body was kicked directly into the Soul Guiding Banner.

"Chehehehe--"

Zhu Xun out a burst of smug, dog-like laughter, as if excited to have gained another brother.

Chen Dengming suddenly pointed at the Foundation Establishment cultivator entangled with the Golden Gang Spirit Venerable in the distance. Zhu Xun's pale and sinister ghost eyes immediately locked onto the cultivator, and he made a 'hehehe' sound as he pounced over.

Fierce Ghost or evil spirit at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Level is impossible to guard against; if used properly, even Foundation Establishment cultivators will be threatened.

Chen Dengming spread his five fingers wide and grabbed, and the Storage Bag on the leader cultivator's corpse fell into his hand.

A powerful Divine Sense erupted.

The Storage Bag was forcibly opened.

A swirling mass of blood, exuding a faint, sinister aura, was taken out of Chen Dengming's Storage Bag.

"Wow--"

The moment the blood clot appeared, it coalesced into a child's face, opening its mouth to cry, its eyes filled with resentment as it stared intently at Chen Dengming, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Chen Dengming felt an especially strong sense of unease, even experiencing a sudden jolt of fear and a sharp, stabbing pain in his heart.

Suddenly, his face darkened. He quickly put the blood clot into his Storage Bag, his eyes filled with chilling killing intent as he looked at the two remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators opposite him.

A flash of light!

Thousands of blades surged forth like rolling waves, one after another.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators, who were both entangled, were already terrified. They never expected this person to be so ferocious. The leader didn't even have a chance to escape and was killed just like that.

Seeing Chen Dengming approaching with murderous intent, they all struggled fiercely amidst angry shouts, trying to break free from Ling Zun and Lüo Bing's entanglement and escape.

But even in that brief moment of delay, Chen Dengming's powerful Divine Sense had already surged forth.

These two were only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and they were already feeling the pressure of being entangled with the Spirit Venerable and Lüo Bing. How could they possibly be a match for Chen Dengming?

A dozen or so breaths later.

Two more corpses were added to the ground, and two more Foundation Establishment Yin Souls were added to the Soul Guiding Banner.

Unbeknownst to anyone, within those thirty breaths, a figure with suppressed spiritual power had appeared nearby.

He was in a state of Law Technique concealment, frowning as he observed the battle.

Even after witnessing three Foundation Establishment cultivators being killed by Chen Dengming, he did not show himself or take action, but instead frowned and pondered the situation that had occurred.

"This person... is that Chen Dengming from the South? How did he reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage so quickly? Could it be that some force, like the Hidden World Sect, beat him to it?"

"And then there's his combat strength. His Divine Sense is stronger than that of a typical Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, approaching that of a Pseudo-Core cultivator. His methods are also similar to those of the Soul Devouring Sect cultivator. Could it be that he joined Devil Cultivator sect during the war?"

As this person pondered, various thoughts flashed through his mind, and greed arose again.

If Chen Dengming had pledged allegiance to a major sect in the Eastern Region, he might have had some reservations and faced some difficulties.

However, if this person joins the Devil Cultivator Soul Devouring Sect, then there are not many things to worry about. He can directly take action, forcibly subdue this person, and bring him back to the Wonderful Sound Sect. To the outside world, it can be said that a demonic villain has been subdued.

"However, since this person has fallen into the demonic path and may have come into contact with the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage, could he be related to the Sha Star?"

If it's related, then given his current combat strength, while he is strong, he couldn't possibly contend with a Golden Core cultivator. This might not be his full strength. That Sha Star could kill our sect's Patriarch Qi in the Golden Core Late Stage; if Chen Dengming also possesses equivalent combat strength but is hiding it...

Upon realizing this, the person who had been hiding in the shadows frowned again and decided to follow and observe first.

At this moment, Chen Dengming's expression was ashen. His killing intent had not diminished after killing three Foundation Establishment; on the contrary, the thought of the child blood mass only intensified his murderous intent.

He quickly recovered his spiritual energy, coldly glanced at Lüo Bing who had just intercepted the enemy, and Soul Guiding Banner into the ground.

"Don't think that you can get away with this by taking action once. If I find out you were involved, you'll definitely be among those implicated in this Soul Guiding Banner!"

Lüo Bing's pretty face remained icy cold. Upon hearing this, she shook her head, "Now that things have come to this, I will admit to what I have done, but I have indeed never met these people."

"You are cunning and scheming. Xu Wei spoke well of you before she took her own life. I will never believe a word you say again. We have no more ties."

Chen Dengming snorted coldly and suddenly summoned two Foundation Establishment Early Stage Yin spirits that had just been trapped inside the Soul Guiding Banner.

The two ghostly spirits looked bewildered and terrified, still recovering from the fear of being captured. Upon seeing Chen Dengming, they immediately begged for mercy, causing the Yin Wind to howl and the air to become eerie.

Chen Dengming's eyes were filled with coldness as he said, "I'll only ask you a few questions. You'll all answer at the same time. If you're slow to answer, you die. If you answer incorrectly, you also die."

These two spirits have not yet been refined and cannot be controlled freely. Their freedom can only be restricted. The only way to get them to answer truthfully is through coercion.

Chen Dengming had no method for refining souls, nor did he have the time or patience to study it further, because if the Yin Soul was not refined immediately, its intelligence would gradually disappear, turning it into a useless soul.

Ignoring the terrified expressions on the faces of the two Foundation Establishment Yin spirits, he took out a blood clot filled with resentment from his Storage Bag and coldly said.

"Whose blood is this? And what is its connection to me?"

The two Foundation Establishment Yin spirits immediately answered in unison, as if vying to answer a question.

"They're yours, yours, your two children from Nanxun, but they're not dead yet."

Chen Dengming's eyes were originally icy cold, but upon hearing the last part, he frowned, paused, and coldly shouted.

"Don't try to fool me. This blood mass is filled with resentment. What has become of my two children?"

The two ghostly figures were terrified beyond measure and immediately spilled out all sorts of information.

"You're not dead! You're really not dead! We were hired by someone. Our employer said he needed to find you, not for revenge. He just had no other way to locate you, so he resorted to this desperate measure to find you. But he couldn't do it himself, so he asked our people to go to that Curse place to do it."

"The Curse Land?"

"It's Nanxun. I heard from that person that it's Curse land. Any cultivator above the Qi Refining Stage who goes there will have their cultivation diminished, unable to survive, and will eventually die and their cultivation will dissipate."

Even if Qi Cultivation Cultivator went there, if they stayed for too long, their entire cultivation would be lost, and they might even be in mortal danger."

Chen Dengming's body stiffened, then he returned to the main topic and coldly asked, "Where are my two children?"

The two spirits said at the same time, "They are not dead, they are really not dead. Although the Blood Guiding Array needs Essence Blood to locate people, it does not necessarily require dead people. We followed the instructions and did not kill your two children."

They are currently only suffering from excessive depletion of their Essence Blood, and have been sealed in Blood Coffin by our people. They will be released from the coffins in forty-nine days and will not die."

Chen Dengming's eyes hardened with coldness. "Who is the employer?"

Various conjectures had formed in his mind, all ultimately pointing to one message— the Wonderful Sound Sect.

Recently, only the Wonderful Sound Sect has been actively searching for him, and once they find him, they intend to recruit him into their sect to pursue the Dao lineage.

Because the Wonderful Sound Sect was struggling to find him, they hired a group of cultivators who specialized in finding people. They started by targeting his children in the mortal realm to find him, but they didn't want to go too far and make things difficult to reverse, so they didn't kill them.

But no matter what, even if the child didn't die, if the wife and children are involved, this is an irreconcilable feud.

At this moment, both ghosts shook their heads in unison, indicating that they had no idea of their employer's true identity.

"We just do things for money, we don't ask many questions or inquire about anything, we only care about the money, and then we do things according to the rules."

Chen Dengming's eyes were cold. "You all know the rules. I'll abide by the rules too, and I'll do what I say. I'll make you wish you were dead! If I find out you've lied to me..."

He suddenly shook the Soul Guiding Banner, Zhu Xun the two spirits, Zhu Xun and Zhu Xun, into the banner.

But in that instant, Zhu Xun's eyes suddenly filled with resentment.

Soul House in Chen Dengming's arms, the Little Array Spirit also emitted a sound.

"Dao, fellow Daoist, there is a master among us."

At this point, the Little Array Spirit no longer needed to remind them.

Chen Dengming had also seen a figure in the distance radiating an extremely strong spiritual power, hovering quietly. Its body emitted a bewitching, aurora-like, subtle golden light, which was almost a materialized and condensed Spiritual Qi. Within that golden light, two eyes shone brightly at him like two gems in the night.

With just one glance, even Chen Dengming, with his powerful Divine Sense, felt an overwhelming pressure, as if struck by lightning, and his spirit felt a terrifying, scorching pain, as if being roasted by the sun.

"You treacherous villain from the Demonic Sect! How dare you! Now that the war is over, you still dare to show your face here and cause trouble in the Lineage of a disciple of my Miao Yin Sect?"

Chen Dengming was deeply shaken, vaguely sensing a majestic and imposing figure imprinted on his mind, about to leave an indelible and unforgettable shadow deep within his soul.

Golden Core Great Cultivator!

In that instant, Lüo Bing suddenly appeared, "Sect Leader Han!"

"Get out of the way!"

The Golden Core Cultivator suddenly swept his gaze across the room, his eyes gleaming with sharp light.

Lüo Bing felt as if struck by lightning, staggering two steps. A dark aura appeared on her pretty face, and a trace of disorientation flashed in her eyes.

"Dao, fellow Daoist!!"

Taking advantage of this opening, the Little Array Spirit cried out in surprise and unleashed a powerful Divine Sense that enveloped Chen Dengming.

Chen Dengming felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body. He immediately formed a hand seal and spread his arms, causing his Movement Method to flutter wildly. The plants and willows on the ground below withered rapidly, and a large amount of Rong Qi gathered around him, boosting his energy and spirit.

The Storage Bag opened instantly, and the Longevity Token and the Evergreen Token fell into his hands at the same time.

He glared angrily at the newly appeared Golden Core cultivator from the Wonderful Sound Sect, and suddenly activated the Longevity Token. Instantly, vibrant green energy was released from the token, and the two characters 'Longevity' conveyed an ancient and enduring meaning of time, piercing the eyes of the Golden Core cultivator opposite him.

"You scoundrel from the Demonic Sect! Who do you call yourself?"

(I was busy with Qingming Festival today, so the update is late and only 6,000 words. I'll update 10,000 words tomorrow if I get 200 monthly votes. I've already added more even though I haven't met the requirement for two consecutive days.)
