Decapitation Mission! A Complete Break with Lüo Bing

The Longevity Sect's involvement in the Eastern and Western Regions Battlefield was even faster than Chen Dengming had imagined.

They didn't even survive the autumn. A dozen days later, more than twenty fake core cultivators in the sect were summoned to the Longevity Hall in batches to be assigned small group tasks.

In the side halls on either side of the Longevity Hall, Chen Dengming, He Yingyu, and several other pseudo-Dan (Master Alchemist were waiting quietly, awaiting their summons to be assigned Sect Mission.

Enjoying the sect's cave abode, Spirit Vein, and monthly distribution of spirit crystals and elixirs, as well as the sect's protection, means that one must contribute when the sect needs it; this is unavoidable.

In comparison, the Longevity Sect's environment and principles are, at least among many sects, quite comfortable.

In Chen Dengming's view, the Longevity Sect was somewhat similar to a prestigious university in his previous life, where everyone peacefully pursued cultivation and few people would cause trouble.

Sects like the Tiandao Sect are somewhat like wolf-like companies that people join after entering the workforce, with fierce internal competition and a ruthless fighting spirit towards outsiders.

"Junior Brother Chen, don't worry, the sect will definitely take your situation into account. When they create new groups, they'll definitely put you two together."

At this moment, a thin, middle-aged cultivator with a topknot, sitting to Chen Dengming's left, was smiling and talking to Chen Dengming.

Chen Dengming immediately smiled politely and said, "Then I, your Junior Brother, will accept Senior Brother Ding's kind words in advance."

The speaker was named Ding Changhe, one of the most senior False Core Great Cultivator in the Longevity Sect. Although he appeared to be middle-aged, he was actually over 160 years old.

If this person fails to break through to the Golden Core stage within the next forty years, he may be approaching the Lifespan Limit. No matter how long a cultivator from the Longevity Sect can live, the limit for the Foundation Establishment Realm is already two hundred and fifty years old.

"You two are of one mind, and Junior Brother Chen, you are exceptionally powerful. Even a typical Golden Core Great Cultivator might not be able to stop you if you join forces. The sect certainly won't break you up, haha, don't worry."

At this moment, a burly man with a full beard and hair stood out and laughed loudly.

The man who resembled Zhang Fei and spoke was named Yang Zidao. Not only was he imposing in appearance, but he was also incredibly strong. He was one of the main proponents of war within the sect, and his combat power was astonishing.

Chen Dengming returned a polite smile, "Senior Brother Yang is too kind. Junior Brother humble Senior Brother are far inferior to yours."

"You kid, you're clearly so strong, yet you're always acting all coy and humble." Yang Zidao shook his head, clearly looking down on Chen Dengming's cowardly behavior.

Chen Dengming and He Yingyu exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

At this moment, inside the Longevity Main Hall, six Golden Core Elders were gathered together discussing personnel arrangements, and they dug out many records and evaluations from when the False Core Great Cultivator completed their missions in the past.

When it came to arranging for Chen Dengming and He Yingyu to become Evergreen Immortal Couple, several Golden Core cultivators got into a dispute.

"Junior Brother Zhu, the Evergreen Immortal Couple clearly share Brother He's temperament. Look at Chen Dengming's performance during past missions—cautious, meticulous, and attentive to detail. Even though he was confident of killing that Devil Cultivator Bian Yucheng from the beginning, he repeatedly confirmed the distance to True Person True Man Yu Ding Daoist Ye before making his move. My mission this time requires someone as cautious and meticulous as him."

"No, no. Senior Brother Guan, you are mistaken."

Another old Daoist priest, with a gaunt face, bronze skin, and prominent veins on his hands and feet, shook his head dismissively and said, "This Nephew Disciple Chen was able to kill a fellow Pseudo-Core cultivator in less than sixty breaths, and even joined forces with Junior Brother Ye to repel the Blazing Flame Blood Devil. His combat prowess far surpasses that of his peers."

"I need someone like you, capable and hardworking, to carry out this Beheading Mission. Giving you this opportunity would be a waste of talent."

"No. Nephew Disciple Chen is exceptionally talented; it would be best if he joined me on missions. He shouldn't participate in overly dangerous missions at this time."

Another elderly man with gray hair and beard spoke. His hair was tied in a topknot, and he wore a linen robe with a medicine cauldron pattern embroidered on his sleeves. He was none other than the True Man Yu Ding.

Seeing the group all ready to fight over the person, Gongsun Zai and the other two Golden Core Great Cultivators who hadn't participated in the argument could only manage wry smiles.

Whenever a major event occurs in the sect, the most interesting part is always the competition for personnel.

However, it's quite rare to see them arguing so fiercely over two newcomers this time. In previous years, they were usually unwilling to take newcomers on missions, which shows how outstanding the Evergreen Immortal Couple are.

At this moment, an elderly man with a tall hat sitting in the head seat suddenly raised his hand to stop him, and said calmly.

"There's no need to argue anymore. Let the Evergreen Immortal Couple go with Junior Brother Zhu."

True Man Yu Ding panicked, "Senior Brother Xing!"

"Um?"

The old man with the tall hat had a sharp glint in his eyes. He was imposing, with a white face and no beard, and he exuded an aura of authority without being angry.

True Man Yu Ding fell silent immediately.

This is Xing Huiguang, the current head of the Longevity Sect, Golden Core Perfection cultivator at the peak of his cultivation.

The reason he has not broken through to the Nascent Soul is because of the need to cultivate and absorb the Immortal Celestial Lineage. Moreover, after becoming Nascent Soul, he is unable to take action on many important matters due to the Nascent Soul Treaty of the Four Domains. Therefore, he has deliberately suppressed his realm and has not broken through.

"Don't worry, the Evergreen Immortal Couple are treasures of my Longevity Sect. Junior Brother Qiu has also spoken to me, telling them to go ahead and train boldly; they won't perish easily."

True Man Yu Ding Ye Yong was relieved. "Yes!"

Two incense sticks later.

Chen Dengming and He Yingyu walked out of the main hall of the Longevity Hall hand in hand, politely dealing with their fellow Senior Brother and future teammates.

"Junior Brother Chen, I've long heard of your exceptional combat prowess. We'll need you and your wife's help with the Sect Mission two months from now."

"Senior Brother Miao is too kind and flattering."

"Hey! Junior Brother Chen, although I know you're a humble person, don't be too modest. Even Uncle Zhu speaks highly of you. There's a saying, 'Excessive modesty is... well, let's just say it's not polite.'"

"Yes! Senior Brother Chi is right."

Chen Dengming showed a solemn and receptive expression. After exchanging a few more words, the group dispersed and went their separate ways.

"Junior Brother." Seeing her senior Senior Brother leave, He Yingyu looked at Chen Dengming with her beautiful eyes.

"Let's go! We'll talk about it back there!"

Chen Dengming shook his head slightly, made a hand seal to summon Law Artifact, and the two rode away in Escape Light.

He Yingyu transmitted her voice, "Junior Brother, fortunately we were assigned to the same mission this time, so we can look after each other."

No matter how good the relationship is between Senior Brother, they are still outsiders. When faced with a life-or-death situation, the only people you can truly rely on are your own people.

Chen Dengming shook his head and said, "Even so, the mission assigned to us this time is actually Beheading Mission with the highest risk factor. The two of us will be taking a lot of danger."

That's fine, but judging from the words of these Senior Brothers and that Uncle Zhu, they clearly have high expectations for me.

He sighed.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

It's not that I don't want to contribute to the sect.

However, it seems that his killing of Bian Yucheng and subsequent collaboration with True Man Yu Ding to repel the Blazing Flame Blood Devil brought him great fame, leading some within the sect, including some pro-war factions, to believe that he possesses extraordinary combat strength.

Once this label is applied, it can cause problems.

That last time was just a helpless act of resistance. It's okay to be forced to do this kind of high-wire act once, but if you do it often, you'll fall off the cliff sooner or later.

"Junior Brother, this is the burden of fame, but sometimes we can't change it. Since it has already happened, all we can do is prepare ourselves," He Yingyu comforted him.

"Hmm. Let's go back. Fortunately, we have two months to prepare. You should try your best to refine Law Treasure within these two months. If not, we'll find a way to buy one."

"Yes, I'll hurry."

"I plan to set off tomorrow to go back to the south to see the child and Qiangzi, and also to see if I can obtain another Dao script from the Ancient Human Immortal Palace."

Although the chances are slim, my strength has improved considerably recently. If I obtain it, the Dao Script will still significantly enhance my combat power."

"Okay! Go ahead and don't worry."

"Ahem, senior sister, you can't say that. In our hometown, it's considered unlucky."

"Ah"

"You get punished for making a mistake. I'll punish you tonight."

Afterwards.

It was already the second day.

Chen Dengming abandoned the two charming women, changed into the top-tier second-order magic robe, the Mysterious Gold Robe, which He Yingyu had personally crafted for him, and rode away from the sect on Black Cloud Leopard.

On this trip, he only brought the Little Array Spirit with him, while Xu Wei stayed in the cave abode of the Longevity Sect, returning to Nanxun alone in a low-key manner.

The outside world is in chaos, especially on the border between the Eastern and Western Regions, where major battles between cultivators are frequent.

Returning to Nanxun from the Longevity Sect, Chen Dengming had to cross the eastern border, and there were still certain risks along the way.

However, he was already a False Core Great Cultivator, so many dangers were just minor troubles for him now.

After breaking through to the Foundation Establishment, the Black Cloud Leopard flew at an extremely fast speed, only about 30% slower than a high-level second-tier spirit boat.

One day later.

Chen Dengming then rode the Black Cloud Leopard, flying tens of thousands of miles, passing through Yunhua Dao, and arriving at the southern Ten Thousand Mile Frontier.

Along the way, he encountered several battles between low-level cultivators, but Chen Dengming only glanced at them briefly before speeding away. The cultivators fighting below might not even notice that a False Core Great Cultivator flew overhead.

The following evening.

Chen Dengming rode the Black Cloud Leopard and quietly arrived near the Mingyun Mountain Range on the Ten Thousand Mile Frontier.

He bypassed the area where Brocade Workshop was located and soon went deep into the Mingyun Mountain Range, approaching Yonglei Peak with snow all year round, and found the entrance to the Southern Exploration that he had discovered before.

Almost as soon as he entered the Mingyun Mountain Range, near the entrance to the Southern Xun.

Deep within the Lin family ancestral home in Brocade Workshop.

An old man with a thin, wrinkled face and sunken eyes, resembling a skeleton, suddenly opened his eyes, which gleamed with a chilling light.

A wicked glint flashed in his eyes, and a dangerous smile appeared on his lips.

"Here he comes. That kid's finally back again."

The words fell.

He took out Sound Transmission Jade Talisman and sent out a message.

"That kid's here. Remember what you promised me."

After a cup of tea.

Chen Dengming burst out of the cold, ice-covered pool in Nanxun.

"Whoosh--"

The Black Cloud Leopard suddenly shook its glossy black fur, splashing out a large amount of water without getting it wet at all.

"Hei Zi, if your fur were made into a robe, it wouldn't even need special refining; it's naturally waterproof!"

Chen Dengming smiled and patted the back of the Black Cloud Leopard's neck, teasingly earning a black-faced glare in return.

"Let's go! Do you remember the way here?"

Chen Dengming patted Black Cloud Leopard on the shoulder.

The Black Cloud Leopard exhaled white vapor from its two nostrils, charged forward, its four paws churning the earth, and quickly soared into the sky, rapidly flying towards the location of the fiefdom Zhanxian City.

At the same time.

Within the Wonderful Sound Sect, a beam of spiritual light suddenly shot out, quickly transforming into a spirit boat in mid-air.

A woman with a face, figure, features, and skin so beautiful that they could make one's heart flutter flew onto the spirit boat and steered it swiftly toward the direction of the Repentance Cave.

Her expression was icy, and her charm and demeanor were more mature than before. At this moment, she held a jade talisman in her hand, and a dark glint and an almost barely suppressed evil thought flashed in her eyes.

She had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and so had the one within the Repentance Cave.

She even sensed that the evil master within the Repentance Cave was more urgent, and this urgency, fueled by the ongoing war Eastern and Western Regions, was gradually becoming uncontrollable.

Now, a relatively good opportunity has finally arrived.

Two days later.

Within the Zhanxian City, there stands a mansion nestled against the mountain, covering an area of several hundred acres, exceptionally vast and magnificent.

Inside the mansion, a statue of a burly figure riding a giant black leopard exudes an imposing aura, intimidating all directions and suppressing the fortune of the entire Zhanxian City.

The mansion was surrounded by high walls and deep courtyards, with a grand structure and exquisite construction. Its layout contained a kind of Formation and profound principles. The square, pavilions, gardens and other structures were all well-organized and seamless. Among the many mansions in the Nanxun Kingdom, it should be considered one of the best.

"My Chen Family Mansion has been expanded again? And made so grandly, they even put statues there!"

Looking down at the mansion below, Chen Dengming couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Hiss--"

The Black Cloud Leopard snorted and nodded its head, its eyes narrowing into a smiling arc, seemingly quite satisfied with the sculpted Black Cloud Leopard statue.

The leopard was particularly pleased that the two rows of inscriptions on the statue's abdomen were not missing.

"Hei Zi, you're only doing this because you're following in my footsteps. Otherwise, who would have carved your statue?"

Chen Dengming made a sarcastic remark and ordered the Qi Ingestion Black Cloud Leopard to land, immediately attracting the attention of the people in the mansion below and causing a stir of exclamations.

Many people inside the mansions and even on the streets outside knelt down and worshipped Chen Dengming, shouting that they were paying homage to the True Immortal Chen.

"This is an overstatement, far too extravagant. Even when I was in Nanxun, it wasn't this grand."

"Ah, the people from my hometown are so warm and welcoming!"

Chen Dengming smiled and waved his sleeve, helping everyone around him to their feet. Then, he casually took out a bottle of strengthening pills from his Storage Bag, pointed at it, and shattered it into powder. The powder then drifted into the mouths and noses of the people in the mansion.

Many servants, who were quite tired after a busy day, saw Chen Dengming wave his sleeve and their noses seemed to smell a pleasant fragrance. The fatigue of the day seemed to disappear, and their bodies even seemed to receive some imperceptible, subtle benefits. Immediately, they called out the name "True Immortal Chen" even more devoutly and enthusiastically.

"Father! Father!"

Two figures, as swift as miniature whirlwinds, sped out from the mansion, shouting joyfully.

"Brother Chen!"

Jiang Qiang also hurriedly returned from outside the mansion. When he saw Chen Dengming in the distance, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Qiangzi, I've come back to visit."

Chen Dengming nodded slightly, then turned around and smiled as he looked at his two children who rushed into his arms.

At night, after taking a bath, Chen Dengming sat alone in the quiet room. His mind gradually connected with the Daoist inscriptions that were spreading Spiritual Qi light in his mind, and his soul entered the Ancient Human Immortal Palace that appeared on the Daoist inscriptions.

Besides visiting his family, another main purpose of his return to Nanxun was to try again to obtain a second Dao Scripture.

He had already borne the troubles brought by the Ancient Human Immortal Palace several times; he couldn't afford to suffer losses repeatedly without gaining much benefit.

A single Daoist inscription can greatly enhance the power of his Core Power, even directly shattering the Core Power of Golden Core Great Cultivator.

If another Daoist script were added, the destructive power would be even more astonishing, giving him considerable confidence in the Beheading Mission two months later.

However, with the Sha Star's sliver blocking the way in the Ancient Human Immortal Palace, obtaining the second Dao Scripture remains extremely difficult, and Chen Dengming has no confidence.

As his soul ascended into the Ancient Human Immortal Palace, a wave of comfort, enveloped in Spiritual Qi, immediately swept over him.

However, after only a cup of tea, this feeling of comfort was ruthlessly shattered by the Sha Star's distraction with his golden core.

Chen Dengming was quite frustrated.

Inside the Ancient Human Immortal Palace, he had no advantage in terms of magical Law Artifact or even spells; he could only rely on his martial Technique Method skills, supernatural Divine Ability, and Daoist incantations to fight against the Sha Star.

Under such circumstances, how easy would it be to cross a major realm, force back the Sha Star, and make contact with the second Dao scripture?

"I thought that with the recent improvement in my Technique Method, my combat strength would have increased, and there might be some hope. Unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking."

"Relying on brute force won't work, and taking shortcuts isn't so easy either. It really seems that only after I break through to the Golden Core stage will I be able to be confident."

After taking the Zhuang Shen Dan to restore his spirit, Chen Dengming recalled the battle with the Sha Star. It wasn't without its gains; at least his understanding of Martial Dao Divine Ability had increased considerably, and his proficiency in the <Chen Family Martial Arts General Outline> had also improved by more than twenty points.

Unfortunately, I didn't obtain a second Dao pattern.

This is normal; life is full of disappointments, and it's impossible for everything to go as planned. But it still leaves one feeling dissatisfied.

However, many times, being unwilling to accept it is useless.

The evil ancestor of the Wonderful Sound Sect must have been quite resentful. As a Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord, he was extremely unwilling after death and turned into an evil spirit. He has been resentful for over a thousand years, yet he still hasn't obtained the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage.

Thinking of this, Chen Dengming felt much better.

At least he, a nobody who wasn't even Nascent Soul cultivator, had obtained a Dao script that even a Spirit Transmutation Malevolent Spirit would dream of.

The next morning, his damaged Divine Sense recovered under the effects of the Medicinal Power.

After spending half a day with his children, Chen Dengming bid farewell to Jiang Qiang and left again, preparing to return to the Cultivation World.

There are less than two months left before the sect issues the Beheading Mission.

Since we cannot obtain the Dao texts, we cannot waste any more time searching in the south. We must return to the Cultivation World and continue our cultivation in a place rich in Spiritual Qi, so that we can increase our strength as much as possible.

Two days later.

The Black Cloud Leopard speed was greatly reduced in the Curse land of Nanxun, carried Chen Dengming for more than 5,000 miles and returned to the entrance of Nanxun.

As soon as he approached this area, Chen Dengming felt a tremor in his heart and a faint sense of threat creeping into his mind.

This sense of threat intensified as the Black Cloud Leopard descended into the forest.

"Dao, fellow Daoist! Quick, hurry! It's that familiar evil aura!"

At this moment, Little Array Spirit reminder came from Soul House.

Chen Dengming's heart tightened, and without hesitation, he gave the order to retreat, "Hei Zi!"

"Roar!--"

The Black Cloud Leopard suddenly roared wildly, its eyes filled with ferocity and malice. It abruptly pounced on the ground, rolling around as if to knock Chen Dengming down.

"Kuroko!?"

Chen Dengming gave a low shout and quickly dodged away, frowning as he looked at the suddenly enraged Black Cloud Leopard.

"Roar!!"

The Black Cloud Leopard's eyes were filled with Evil Qi and evil. Suddenly, it let out a deep, thunderous roar, opened its blood-red maw, and lunged straight at Chen Dengming.

Chen Dengming frowned, his eyes flashing with divine light. Instead of retreating, he strode forward, his muscles bulging as Golden Light flashed. Suddenly, he struck out with his palm, a blinding Silver Light flashing and disappearing in an instant.

With a loud 'smack', the massive leopard head was struck directly by Chen Dengming's palm, crashing heavily to the ground like a heavy black iron weight, sending dirt flying everywhere.

The Black Cloud Leopard rolled its eyes, its blood-stained tongue covered in barbs spitting out of its mouth, and immediately collapsed, unconscious.

At that very moment, Chen Dengming, who was in a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, sensed an evil and powerful Spiritual Energy appearing behind him, instantly giving him a terrifying sense of threat that caused him a splitting headache, like thorns in his back.

"Evil spirit!"

Chen Dengming's heart sank rapidly, and he felt as if all the capillaries in his body were dilating rapidly.

This sudden situation was beyond his expectations. Why would the evil spirits suddenly venture so deep into Nanxun, and it seemed that they had been guarding him at the entrance of Nanxun for a long time?

Who can bear the power of evil spirits and appear here with them?

Han Yongxu is dead, but his soul is still sealed within his Soul Guiding Banner. It seems that only this banner can still contain the Malevolent Spirit Power.

Chen Dengming

A cold voice, tinged with melancholy and a strange, sinister tone, came from behind.

"It really is you."

Chen Dengming raised his eyebrows and slowly turned around, where he saw Lüo Bing wearing a black robe with a red silk overcoat.

The other person still had that aloof and cold demeanor, but their face seemed to have become much thinner, which actually accentuated the beauty of their features, making their face appear lively and vibrant even in stillness.

However, beautiful roses always have thorns, let alone this kind of ice rose. Chen Dengming had already noticed that beside Lüo Bing, there was a tall, black box, more than a person's height, resembling a coffin, exuding a chilling and sinister aura.

Lüo Bing's face was shrouded in dim light, only her two black gem-like eyes sparkled. She calmly said, "You seem surprised by my arrival? You shouldn't be surprised."

Chen Dengming's eyes flashed with a strange light. "Why wouldn't I be surprised? Is it because you've become the furnace for your evil master?"

But neither you nor He should have set foot here. Wasn't the lesson learned last time enough?

As he spoke these words, he concentrated intently, his Divine Sense enveloping his eyes. The surrounding scenery immediately became clear; even the moonlight in the air and the changes in airflow caused by the night breeze could not escape his heightened senses in this state of oneness with Unity of Heaven and Man.

But the clearer his perception became, the colder he felt.

The long box opposite him, shaped like a coffin, resembled a dark abyss, its malevolent Evil Qi seeming to devour everything, giving him a terrifying feeling that he might fall into it at any moment.

Lüo Bing said calmly, "You're so smart, you should understand that now that I'm here, things have already gotten out of control. I represent more than just myself."

"Then what are you waiting for? Or rather, what are you waiting for? Why not give it a try? Just like Han Yongxu did last time?"

Chen Dengming suddenly calmed down, remaining calm and fearless, guarding against any mental gaps caused by fear or other emotional fluctuations that might give evil spirits an opportunity to take advantage.

The power of evil spirits seems to have a strange influence on people's minds and emotions at any time, amplifying the seven emotions and six desires in people's hearts, making it impossible to guard against.

Lüo Bing suddenly smiled faintly. This smile, appearing on her icy face, was like a plum blossom in full bloom, possessing a unique charm. The expression in her beautiful eyes was somewhat unusual, as if flashing with wisdom. She said calmly.

"You are indeed very smart and capable. We all misjudged you at the Ascension Convention; we never expected you to achieve such success. It's a pity."

"Enough!"

Chen Dengming frowned and said in a deep, cold voice, "Back when we were with the Luo Family, I severed all ties with you."

Afterwards, I realized that it was an evil spirit that had affected your mind. Perhaps you had your own unavoidable difficulties, but the fact that you used the blood and spirit's blood to control the Luo Family Ancestor to attack me, and then sought revenge on the Zhu Family descendants, proves that you are still yourself. It's just that you are no longer the Lüo Bing you once were. You only have interests and calculations in your eyes, and there is no trace of old affection left!"

You're right.

The darkness in Lüo Bing's eyes deepened.

She suddenly raised her head, her expression focused intently on Chen Dengming, her eyes sparkling with an eerie beauty that captivated all who looked at her, radiating a strange power that seemed to infect the soul. She engaged in a mental battle with Chen Dengming, saying, "I was indeed conscious back then. You could say I killed Xu Wei, and you could say I killed Xi'er. Killing them was what made me who I am. I don't regret it!"

Bringing up old stories again seems to have become a crucial point in the invasion of Malevolent Spirit Power.

Even in his state of perfect harmony with Unity of Heaven and Man, Chen Dengming's State of Mind couldn't remain stable. His eyes gradually brightened, becoming almost piercingly bright. "Do you know what you're saying? Even if you can harm Xu Wei, why would you harm Xi'er, who is so loyal to you?"

"Didn't you kill Xi'er? You killed her with your own hands!"

Lüo Bing's eyes darkened further, and wisps of Spiritual Energy danced wildly like mad snakes, assaulting the heart. "Back then, when you entrusted Xu Wei to me, you should have foreseen this. Let's be realistic. With Xu Wei's talent and Spirit Root, why do you think the Luo Family would continue to protect her and take her along in this chaotic world?"

Are you too naive, or do you think too kindly of others?

"If you thought it wouldn't work, why did you agree in the first place? You're going back on your word and trying to kill me!"

Chen Dengming questioned him in a low voice, his anger rising instantly from the bottom of his heart like a flame, and a gap appeared in State of Mind state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

At that very moment, an extremely powerful and malevolent Spiritual Energy suddenly invaded him through the mental void created by his anger.

Just as Chen Dengming was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and his whole body seemed to go limp.

Suddenly, the long, dark box opposite him opened, spewing out a torrent of black gas that pressed down and enveloped him. Instantly, Chen Dengming's feet felt as if they were nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move at all.

"You're still so sentimental; this is your strength, but also your greatest weakness. How can someone like you possibly come into contact with the Heavenly Immortal Way if you join the Longevity Sect?"

A slightly mournful sigh suddenly came from the black mist.

Lüo Bing's figure suddenly swept out of the black mist, her soft, boneless arms wrapping around his neck, her curvaceous body pressing against him, and then she suddenly exerted force.

The wind howled in Chen Dengming's ears as his body was dragged along by the swirling black mist and flew into the pitch-black box.

This really is a coffin, a coffin prepared for him.
