In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path Chapter 382

Chapter 382: 182: Mourning Almost Turns into Celebration, Luo Family’s Ancestor Cos to the Door (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_1 Chapter 382: 182: Mourning Almost Turns into Celebration, Luo Family’s Ancestor Cos to the Door (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_1 As the saying goes, ‘when the spring river warms up, the ducks know it first’.

The chill and pressure brought about by the renewed war in the East and West Territories were first felt by ordinary cultivators at the bottom of society.

Inside the powerhouse like the Longevity Sect, however, the pressure didn’t seem too urgent.

Chen Dengming, riding his Black Cloud Leopard, left the territory of the Longevity Thirteen Peaks and passed through so nearby markets, feeling a significant cold and desolate atmosphere.

Even Chang’an Market, a significant marketplace, also seed deserted.

In the past, beams of Spiritual Light would often fill the sky, suspended outside Chang’an Market.

Now, there were only sporadic ones, hurrying along.

...

The war in the East and West Territories had been going on for quite a while, and those cultivators still willing to stay in the Eastern Region had begun to tighten their belts and reduce their expenses, naturally leading them to visit the market less frequently.

Those cultivators unwilling to stay in the Eastern Region and wanting to escape the war, had already left.

This was the relatively peaceful territory of the Longevity Sect.

If it was the territory of Heavenly Dao Sect and other front-line sects in the southern parts of the Eastern Region, it was feared that the cultivation environnt would beco even more stressful.

Following the map for a while, Chen Dengming easily found the Du Family, one of the Cultivation Families.

The family now presented a gloomy scene.

White mourning banners were hung at the entrance and inside the yard.

Brass coins fluttered in the wind along with the mournful chi of bells ant to soothe the soul.

Everyone in the family had a face full of sorrow and whimpering could be faintly heard from the house.

For a small family like the Du Family, the death of a Foundation Establishnt cultivator like Du Baoyue signified that the pillar of the family had fallen.

It was not only a devastating blow to the family’s economy and power, but also a severe blow to the spirits of the people in the family.

After all, Du Baoyue was a Foundation Establishnt cultivator of the Longevity Sect.

Based on his status and influence alone, he was enough to protect the family’s developnt in many areas, making it smooth sailing.

Now, the hope of the family was dead.

The founder of the Du Family, also a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, had passed away more than ten years ago.

The Du Family had now completely fallen into an insignificant family without any Foundation Establishnt cultivator.

The industries they once operated and the resource points they once occupied were all need to be abandoned now.

The family may even have to relocate and leave the first-class Spirit Vein areas they currently occupy.

When Chen Dengming rode his Black Cloud Leopard to the entrance of the Du Family, it imdiately caused a lot of stir.

The cultivators of the Du Family, seeing the Foundation Establishnt robe Chen Dengming was wearing, imdiately paid their respects and welcod him in.

So neighboring family powers who also ca to pay their respects, originally just wanted to check the situation of the Du Family.

However, seeing one Foundation Establishnt cultivator followed by another, and the latter even riding a mighty and intimidating Foundation Establishnt Demonic Beast, the Black Cloud Leopard, they were all sowhat agitated and inwardly astonished.

It seems that the Foundation Establishnt cultivator of the Du Family who was in the Longevity Sect…

was very popular within the Sect.

As the old saying goes, people’s indifference after one’s death is as cold as the tea.

After Du Baoyue’s death, apart from the consolation paynt and condolences from the Longevity Sect, having other Foundation Establishnt cultivators visit the family shows that Du Baoyue did make so friends in the Longevity Sect.

As a result, even if so nearby family powers want to ostracize and drive away the Du Family, they must weigh their options, they have to be cautious and dare not act recklessly.

…

“Senior Brother Chen, I didn’t expect you to co…”

As soon as Chen Dengming was ushered into the inner courtyard of the Du Family, a Foundation Establishnt cultivator in Longevity Sect’s robe with a rat-like face ca over to greet him politely.

Chen Dengming looked surprised, “Daoist Friend Qian.”

The one who ca to greet him was unexpectedly Qian Yingquan.

That was sothing Chen Dengming did not anticipate.

During their battle against the Blazing Blood Demon, this guy was the first to flee without any hesitation.

He seed to have disappeared out of guilt for a while, but surprisingly Chen Dengming bumped into him here at the Du Family.

“Senior Brother Chen…

I’m just here to show so regard…”

Qian Yingquan caught the brief look of surprise in Chen Dengming’s eyes and hung an embarrassed smile on his face.

Chen Dengming understood and nodded with a smile, “That’s good!

If Daoist Friend Du knew about it under the earth, he would be pleased.”

Qian Yingquan’s smile beca more natural, and he nodded, “I hope so.”

Chen Dengming didn’t say much more, but he had a higher opinion of Qian Yingquan in his heart.

This man, despite his unattractive appearance, was indeed a man of character.

Under such dire circumstances back then, it was understandable for him to escape.

Most people would do the sa when faced with a powerful enemy from the Magical Way.

This guy, however, probably felt guilty after escaping and thought that he was responsible for Du Baoyue’s death, so he ca to visit the Du Family.

He probably had so connection with Du Baoyue in the Sect in the past.

Chen Dengming walked to the elder who was in charge of the Du Family.

He handed over the prepared Storage Bag to him.

The elder and the disciples of the Du Family accepted with great gratitude and awe.

They can see that Chen Dengming was quite a big deal.

Qian Yingquan, who they were showing great respect to a while ago, was very respectful to him.

They wouldn’t dare to neglect him.

In fact, for them, it didn’t matter what Chen Dengming was delivering.

What mattered was that Chen Dengming was here in person.

This attitude of a powerful cultivator towards the Du Family was indeed like sending charcoal in snowy weather for the current Du Family.

It could solve many problems and allow the Du Family to erge from this cyclone not in such a miserable manner, a problem that couldn’t necessarily be solved with any amount of money.

…

About half an hour later, Chen Dengming and Qian Yingquan left the Du Family one after another.

Their short stay in the Du Family had already had a very good deterrent effect.

If they stayed any longer, Daoist Friend Du’s mourning service would turn into a joyous event because the Du Family was too enthusiastic and the atmosphere a little off.
