Martial Aunt Su's Crisis! Old Chen Draws His Bow to Shoot the Great Dragon!

Within the Spiritual Qi Wind Layer of the Eastern Region, undulating shockwaves rapidly spread through the air.

The fierce Spiritual Qi spread out as if it had exploded, and the gale rose up violently, like an old man roaring and rushing far away in a fit of rage.

"Boom!"

A burst of azure lightning suddenly erupted, within which a delicate figure appeared, her form distorted, tiny arcs of electricity flashing around her.

This immediately attracted an astonishing bolt of lightning from the Spirit Thunder Layer above, which struck a figure opposite with lightning speed.

Crackling--

In an instant, the figure was ignited and surrounded by lightning, and countless arcs of electricity spread out like rats scurrying about.

Taking advantage of the moment, the delicate figure swiftly fled to avoid the danger.

Boom!--

The figure surrounded by electric arcs suddenly burst forth with spiritual power, and a circle of Golden Light, accompanied by the Nascent Soul Power, spread out abruptly, shattering the electric arcs and sending them flying out.

His body was enveloped in fiery mist, and the Spiritual Qi gathered like colorful ribbons of the aurora borealis. His sharp eyes swept over the woman who had already fled far away, and then looked at the smoldering robe and disheveled appearance. Suddenly, he raised his head and let out a cold roar. His spiritual light surged and he chased after her.

"You wretched woman from the Longevity Sect! You can't escape! I will capture you myself and make you cave abode maid in my cave, playing the flute and zither for me day and night!"

Boom!--

A bolt of lightning, crackling with fire, suddenly and swiftly struck down, illuminating the chaotic, surging, rolling clouds.

The shouting man immediately fell silent, hastily defending himself against the Thunder Fire.

In the distance, Su Yan Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of Blood Tide, her pretty face turned deathly pale, and the Cyan Lightning Pearl that had been spinning in front of her dimmed, with only faint arcs of electricity scattered around.

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. After barely managing to break through the encirclement, her Divine Sense was nearly exhausted, and she could only barely resist the enemy with the Immortal Celestial Dao Power.

However, at this moment, they are still nearly five thousand miles away from the Four Seas Immortal Sealing Array, and whether they can successfully escape there is still unknown.

The wind whistled past her ears. She made a hand seal to activate Sound Transmission Jade Talisman and continued to call for help from any fellow Daoists who might be nearby.

He noticed the other Sound Transmission Jade Talisman still flickering Storage Bag.

Su Yan Yan had no time to browse at this moment, leaving only her last bit of Immortal Celestial Dao Power, ready to mobilize the will of Heaven's Will to save her life at a critical moment.

Now, some fellow practitioners are too far away to help those in need.

Having fallen into the ambush of Outer Domain Evil Cultivator, she, along with many of her fellow practitioners including Xing Huiguang and Jiang Jian, are likely to face dire consequences.

At the Eastern Immortal Sea, a salty sea breeze blows in waves.

The sea surface resembled a sea of shattered gemstones, reflecting glittering, sparkling, and shimmering silver, trembling gently.

Where the sea meets the sky, dozens of spirit boats, large and small, came from afar, floating and speeding through the air, shimmering with spiritual light under the bright sunlight.

On the largest of the spirit ships, which resembled a mountain, Chen Dengming stood with his hands behind his back on the deck, his white hair flying in the wind, his robes fluttering in the breeze. He lowered his head to put away a Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Martial Aunt Su hasn't responded to any messages for the past two months, and neither has Uncle Jiang. Could they be carrying out some kind of mission together?"

Chen Dengming gazed into the distance at the Four Seas Immortal Sealing Array barrier, which resembled shimmering mercury.

Several floating islands were pulled by the force of the array and floated there, beautiful and Immortal Qi.

On the coast below, many buildings have been erected, all of them simple in design and purely for practical use as wartime shelters.

Compared to decades ago, this place seems unchanged, yet there's a sense of things being different now.

Chen Dengming's gaze suddenly sharpened as he abruptly spotted a massive shadow sweeping across the bay ahead, and a chilling power rapidly intensified in his senses.

With a deafening roar, a giant wave surged skyward.

A deep, majestic Dragon's Roar's roar, capable of captivating the soul, resounded from the waves, as if stirring up a whirlwind and clouds, making the waves surge even more violently.

A giant dragon covered in bluish-brown scales rose from the sea.

It had no wings, but two small horns like those of an antelope on its head. A tuft of bright, glowing mane grew from its neck, hanging down from both sides and sliding into the seawater. Short, needle-like whiskers grew under its mouth, and its two lantern-like dragon eyes seemed to contain endless power and wisdom, staring intently at Chen Dengming from a great distance.

"That Nascent Soul Dragon Beast from Dragon Spirit Island? I didn't expect it to be this same dragon beast guarding this place again."

Chen Dengming was on edge, feeling an overwhelming sense of pressure and intimidation. His robes fluttered behind him, but he remained calm and composed, his eyes bright and sharp, showing no sign of weakness.

When he first encountered this Nascent Soul Dragon Beast and formed a grudge, he was only Golden Core Mid Stage cultivator, and he joined forces with his Martial Aunt Su to fight against the dragon beast.

Now that he has reached the Golden Core Perfection stage and is in the Nascent Soul stage, he is confident that with the Longevity Jade Seal in hand, even if he is no match for this dragon beast that can contend with Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, he will still be able to retreat unscathed.

Of course, given his current status as the head of the Longevity Sect, the tense and volatile situation he presented was merely a show of force.

Unless this dragon beast wants to be punished by the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance, it would be crazy to attack the allied cultivators.

At this moment, several patrolling cultivator teams on duty were also alerted. Immediately, a patrolling cultivator team and a cultivator in charge of the area flew out to greet them.

The dragon beast stared at Chen Dengming with hostility for a long while, seemingly unable to forget the White-Haired Cultivator had once shot it a few times like a dog on a leash. After a while, it plunged into the sea with a 'bang,' creating a huge wave to vent its anger.

"Haha, Sect Leader Chen has come from afar. We are sorry for not welcoming you properly. Please forgive Sect Leader Chen!"

The leader, a ruddy-faced Golden Core Mid Stage cultivator, laughed heartily and greeted us with a respectful and polite gesture, bowing and clasping his hands in welcome from afar.

"So you are Elder Le Shangneng from Gourd Sword Island. It's an honor to meet you!" Chen Dengming raised his hand politely in return.

"Not at all! It is Sect Leader Chen whose name I have long admired and whose reputation is truly renowned!"

The shrewd and worldly-wise Le Shangneng sense the faint spiritual power emanating from Chen Dengming. Just being near him gave her a sense of oppression and intimidation, which made her secretly shocked and tremble. As a result, the words of flattery and praise she uttered became even more fluent and sincere.

He never expected that Sect Leader Chen he had met once before at the Longevity Sect Leader's succession ceremony, would now be Golden Core Perfection cultivator so quickly.

Furthermore, judging from its profound and imposing aura, it has clearly already forged a golden body and is nurturing Nascent Soul.

This is completely different from cultivators who have just entered the Golden Core Perfection and have not yet forged a golden body. The next step is to enter the Nascent Soul, so we must not be negligent.

Chen Dengming and several elders flew out and exchanged a few polite words with Le Shangneng, who was clearly very good at handling things. After praising each other, they began to inquire about the situation here.

Only then did they realize that there was only one Nascent Soul Dragon Beast from Dragon Spirit Island and Le Shangneng in charge here, while the other cultivators were mainly from Dragon Spirit Island and Gourd Sword Island.

"This place is now considered our rear base. With the Immortal Sealing Array, we don't need many people. Our main force has already entered the Four Domains to launch a counterattack."

Le Shangneng smiled and explained, bowing and flattering Chen Dengming.

"Now that you, Sect Leader Chen, are soon joining the front lines with this fresh force, the recapture of the lost territories in the Eastern Region is just around the corner. I, Le, would like to offer my congratulations in advance Sect Leader Chen!"

"Elder Le, you're too kind, but I still appreciate your kind words!"

Chen Dengming smiled upon hearing this, indicating that he had a good impression of Le Shangneng.

Among the immortal sects of the Eastern Immortal Sea, it is rare to find one that treats an outsider sect like the Longevity Sect with such courtesy.

Just as he was about to speak, Le Shangneng's expression suddenly changed slightly. After making an apologetic gesture, he quickly picked up a glittering jade talisman from his waist to examine it.

Chen Dengming glanced at it and knew that this was a wartime Sound Transmission Jade Talisman that would be given to those who went to the front-line counter-offensive camp.

This jade talisman is generally used to transmit messages and intelligence, making it difficult for enemy cultivators to intercept the information using special Law Artifact.

Secondly, the sound transmission range of this jade talisman is also very wide, comparable to half the effect of a small sound transmission array.

"Three thousand miles to the southwest, Nascent Soul cultivator has requested assistance! The enemy's target is Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator."

After quickly scanning the message on the jade talisman, Le Shangneng couldn't help but whisper, "Nascent Soul cultivator, please help!" His expression immediately turned grim.

Nascent Soul cultivator is asking for help; at that level, even if he wanted to lend a hand, it would be very difficult.

As for asking the Dragon Beast Venerable for assistance, that distance is far too great.

What if the enemy has some kind of plan, a feint to lure us away from our base, a diversionary tactic?

If the goal is to assassinate the Dragon Beast Venerable or the node of the Immortal Sealing Array, then the situation is not good.

Le Shangneng subconsciously glanced at Chen Dengming and his group beside him and spoke.

"List"

However, they discovered that Chen Dengming and the others had already flown to the other side, chatting and laughing with their disciples with their hands behind their backs.

Le Shangneng was taken aback, and swallowed the question that was about to come out, inwardly smiling bitterly.

A battle between Nascent Soul level cultivators, especially when the enemy is at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Given the strength of the Longevity Sect group, even the legendary Longevity Variant Chen Dengming, the sect leader with astonishing combat power, would find it difficult to intervene, since he has not yet truly formed his Nascent Soul.

"Three thousand miles is too far. Let this senior try to escape a certain distance this way before we observe further."

Le Shangneng thought to himself, and immediately used the wartime Sound Transmission Jade Talisman to send a message.

Asking the Dragon Beast Venerable to travel three thousand miles to provide assistance is indeed too extreme and dangerous.

If it turns out to be a trap, he can't afford to take the blame.

After all, their primary responsibility is to guard the Four Seas Immortal Sealing Array, and only secondarily to consider providing support from nearby locations.

"Elder Le, we are tired from our journey, and many of our disciples are exhausted. Let's settle here for a while and continue our journey later."

At this moment, Chen Dengming turned around, smiled, and waved.

He had already heard what Le Shangneng had involuntarily exclaimed, and seeing the other party's grim expression, he knew that this matter was not going to be easy.

This is a difficult matter, and it could easily bring trouble upon him and his many disciples, so he decided to avoid it first.

We are all allies, that's true.

But since the Nascent Soul senior has asked for help, it's obvious without much thought that he is definitely an opponent at the Nascent Soul level.

This is a dangerous place to wade through.

Excessive displays of strength will only lead to a terrible end.

If it were just a request for help at the Golden Core level, Chen Dengming would be happy to lend a hand; that wouldn't be considered showing off.

The Golden Core Elder following him, including Guan Chao, were all shrewd and capable individuals.

Seeing that the sect leader had no intention of helping, and no one dared to show off, only Chen Dengming followed suit.

What help could these Golden Core Cultivator Nascent Soul Cultivators?

The Four Seas Cultivation Alliance already knew that letting the sects of the four regions take the lead in the counterattack meant that the lives and safety of the cultivators from the Four Seas sects were not taken seriously, so naturally they would cherish themselves even more.

"These Longevity Sect cultivators, even a single hair falling out is hollow..."

Le Shangneng was helpless.

He understood that Chen Dengming and others did not want to cause unnecessary trouble or take risks.

He could summon Nascent Soul Realm dragon beast, but he was unwilling to take the risk.

What right do they have to demand things of these Longevity Sect cultivators who haven't even reached the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul? Do they really think they're just fools and cannon fodder?

After agreeing to Chen Dengming's request from afar, Le Shangneng quickly used Sound Transmission Jade Talisman to contact the Nascent Soul senior in the nearest sea area he knew to come to his aid.

At the same time, they stepped forward to settle Chen Dengming and the others down, and could only wish that the Nascent Soul senior who had asked for help could hold on and escape back to the vicinity of the Four Seas Immortal Sealing Array.

If the distance were closer, he could easily persuade the Dragon Beast Venerable to risk his life to help.

Just then, the wartime Sound Transmission Jade Talisman lit up again, conveying an urgent message.

"I am Su Yan Yan, the third patriarch of the Longevity Sect. There is only one person pursuing me, Tan Xiang Kun, a mid-Nascent Soul stage evil cultivator from beyond the realm. He is also injured. This is a great opportunity to make a contribution!"

Le Shangneng sighed, quickly finished browsing the messages, and was about to respond to his concerns.

Even if he had made a contribution, as a Golden Core Mid Stage cultivator, he simply couldn't claim it, and the dragon beast couldn't possibly stray far from the Immortal Sealing Array Formation.

However, he froze the next moment.

"Su Yan Yan, the Third Ancestor of the Longevity Sect?"

Le Shangneng was suddenly startled and immediately looked at Chen Dengming and the others who had flown close. He raised the wartime Sound Transmission Jade Talisman in his hand and said urgently.

"Sect Leader Chen! It's your sect's Third Ancestor! Your sect's Third Ancestor!"

Chen Dengming looked at Le Shangneng with surprise, his expression anxious and agitated. "Elder Le, what do you mean? What happened to our Longevity Sect's Third Ancestor?"

Le Shangneng rushed over and said, "It was your Longevity Sect's Third Ancestor, Su Yanyan, who requested help! She personally gave her name."

"What?"

"That's impossible!"

"Elder Le, stop talking nonsense. Our Third Ancestor of Longevity was with the other ancestors just a few months ago."

Guan Chao and the others' expressions changed slightly, then they laughed in anger and scolded him.

This Le Shangneng is really something else; he actually went so far as to deceive people in order to get them involved.

Do they really think the lives of Four Regions Cultivators are worthless? How dare they interfere in a battle between Nascent Soul Cultivator?

Chen Dengming frowned, about to reprimand him, but seeing Le Shangneng hurriedly throw over the wartime Sound Transmission Jade Talisman in his hand, his inexplicable emotions boiled over, like fifteen buckets of water hitting dates, jumping up and down wildly.

On a whim!

As a spiritual inheritor of the Immortal Celestial Lineage, my inexplicable premonitions and intuitions regarding telepathy are the strongest.

Chen Dengming's face immediately turned frosty, and he 'whoosh' reached out and grabbed.

He caught the wartime Sound Transmission Jade Talisman that flew into his hand, and the message it contained instantly entered his mind.

"Sect Leader, don't believe it so easily! How could it be such a coincidence?"

"Indeed, with Martial Aunt Su's strength and the authority of the Dao lineage, how could he be in such a sorry state?"

Elders such as Guan Chao and Gongshu Zai tried to dissuade him.

The moment Chen Dengming saw the message in the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, his heart trembled violently. He remained silent, his face taut like a bull's shank, and suddenly his eyes flashed with a sharp light as he shouted.

"Stop arguing! It really is Martial Aunt Su!"

"What!?" Guan Chao and the others were all stunned.

Chen Dengming quickly calmed down, his gaze sharp as he looked at Le Shangneng, then at the dragon beast figure in the distant bay.

Without hesitation, he bowed and said, "Elder Yue, I am willing to lend a hand immediately. Please, Elder Yue, quickly summon that dragon beast to accompany me to the rescue!"

Guan Chao and the others were shocked to hear this and wanted to dissuade him, but faced with the intimidating aura emanating from Chen Dengming and the urgent need for help from their Martial Aunt Su, they were at a loss for words.

The sect leader is only at the peak of the Golden Core Perfection stage, but the opponent is at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Even with the help of the dragon beast, the risk is too great.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Le Shangneng bowed awkwardly and said, "Sect Leader Chen, in principle, it would be best if you were willing to take action, but to be honest, Senior Dragon Beast Venerable can only stay inside this Immortal Sealing Array and guard it."

Whatever happens outside the Formation is outside the Dragon Beast Senior's guard range, especially in places that are still far away. The Dragon Beast Senior would never go there rashly, so please understand.

"What did you say?"

Guan Chao and the others became excited.

"Everything Mr. Le said is true!"

Le Shangneng shook his head helplessly, but couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

This is a case of minding one's own business. He had previously tried to persuade Chen Dengming and the others to take the risk, but who would be willing to take the risk and bear the responsibility? Naturally, no one was foolish enough to agree.

Now that they know it is the Third Ancestor of Longevity, these Longevity Sect cultivators are also anxious.

Of course, this is only natural.

If they're not one of our own, why would they really risk their lives to rescue or rush to our aid? Not everyone is a saint.

"It seems you, Elder Le, are unable to persuade the dragon beast to come to the rescue!"

Chen Dengming stopped the crowd from being unreasonable, and gave Le Shangneng a deep look. His sharp, bright eyes, like swords, seemed to be able to see right through the other man's thoughts.

Le Shangneng immediately felt enveloped by a terrifying and oppressive aura, making it difficult to breathe. Terrified, he immediately abandoned his arrogance and forced a smile.

"Please understand, Sect Leader Chen! I was only doing my duty, but unfortunately my strength is too low to persuade Senior Dragon Beast."

"Alright! Elder Le, don't worry."

Chen Dengming smiled faintly, the sharp glint in his eyes fading.

He certainly didn't blame the other party for their choice.

Even when living apart, he would act the same way; he certainly wouldn't apply double standards.

But since it concerns Su Yan Yan, and the other party is unwilling to help, he has no choice but to put pressure on them.

Now, getting this one sentence from the other party is exactly what he wanted.

"Since you can't persuade the dragon beast, I'll persuade it myself to come with me to rescue the people!"

"What?" Le Shangneng was taken aback.

Still not understanding what Chen Dengming meant, how could a sect leader of the Longevity Sect command a Nascent Soul Realm stage dragon beast from Dragon Spirit Island?

Suddenly, Chen Dengming took out a large, black, and cold bow, as tall as a person, and gestured as if he were drawing the bow and shooting an arrow towards the bay where the dragon beast was located.

Buzz!--

On the bowstring.

A powerful soul arrow had just been formed when its sharp light vanished in an instant.

Le Shangneng and the surrounding elders were completely bewildered, but it seemed like some kind of provocative signal.

A suppressed, furious Dragon's Roar's roar suddenly erupted from the bay, accompanied by a deafening crash of a massive wave. The awe-inspiring roar of the Dragon's Roar resounded in all directions.

"Roar!!--"

The Dragon's Roar's roar spread out in layers, like ripples forming a tangible reality.

A giant, bluish-brown dragon, its scales shimmering with intense spiritual light, burst forth from the sea with a thud, like an angry dragon crossing a river, baring its fangs and brandishing its whiskers, charging fiercely into the sky.

The moment the angry Dragon's Roar sounded, Chen Dengming had already grabbed his great bow and flew away at lightning speed, instantly leaving the Immortal Sealing Array and heading straight for the location recorded in the wartime communication jade talisman.

"Roar!!"

The dragon roared, its lantern-like, blazing eyes shining brightly.

With its considerable intelligence, it naturally understood that this was entirely a provocation and goading tactic by Chen Dengming, aimed at luring it to come and lend a hand.

But the anger that was already hard to suppress made it unbearable, and it wished that afterward, in a secluded corner outside the great formation, it could ruthlessly humiliate the impolite Longevity Sect Leader.

"Boom!--!"

The mighty waves plowed through the sky-piercing waves.

The dragon charged forward with tremendous force, its massive body churning the seas and creating an astonishing spectacle, its spreading spiritual power terrifying.

"Senior Dragon Beast! No!"

Le Shangneng was stunned, staring in shock at the dragon beast that had so easily followed Chen Dengming away.

Is this dragon beast really that violent? It just ran off with Sect Longevity Sect Leader like that?

'Whoosh--'

A spray of seawater fell from the sky, drenching him completely.
