In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path Chapter 563

Chapter 563: 249: Beiyin Holy Mother’s Challenge!

Danger of a Shaken State of Mind_2 Chapter 563: 249: Beiyin Holy Mother’s Challenge!

Danger of a Shaken State of Mind_2 Chen Dengming laughed heartily, “Not at all…

Not at all…

How could this be too much.”

…

Afterward.

...

They made no conversation for the rest of the night.

The following morning, Chen Dengming had already received confird news of rit distribution.

However, this news was accompanied by a sudden increase in tension across the Four Regions.

When Chen Dengming arrived at the rit Hall to draw a portion of his rit to compensate for the Spirit Boat of Sect, he was stopped and reminded by Master Ran.

“Brother Chen, according to reliable information we’ve received from the front lines, it seems the North Spirit Sect may truly be unable to sit still any longer.

The Holy Mother of Beiyin has actively proposed to the Joint Council of Elders from the Four Regions to challenge our Nascent Soul Elder.”

“If the Joint Council of Elders approves the Holy Mother of Beiyin’s challenge, our ancestor will have to accept the duel…”

Chen Dengming was slightly taken aback.

Is this mad old woman of Beiyin really so ruthless?

She wants to challenge the three Nascent Souls of the Longevity Sect.

“What does she gain from this?

Is she doing this purely for revenge?

To regain face for her sect?”

Chen Dengming was puzzled.

Even though the war has been ongoing for many years now, Nascent Souls seldom challenged each other.

The occasions so far could be counted on two hands.

When a major battle between the Nascent Souls was required, it often signaled a mont that would impact one side’s structure.

However, as Nascent Souls live a long life, they rarely challenge others.

Master Ran sighed and shook his head, “Brother Chen, you really shouldn’t have left this ti.

It’s like stirring up a hornet’s nest.

It seems the Holy Mother of Beiyin has set her sights on you.”

Usually, duels between Nascent Soul True Monarchs are to resolve significant conflicts of interest.

The victor will gain the benefits.

However, this ti, the Holy Mother of Beiyin only demands the sect to hand you over if she wins!

This is a very rare demand.”

“Hand over?” Lines ford on Chen Dengming’s forehead in surprise.

Is this Holy Mother serious?

Master Ran glanced at him and said, “It’s not only the Holy Mother of Beiyin, but there’s also a high chance that the Prince of Mosha Country will interfere and challenge our Longevity Sect.

The situation is troubleso now.”

The Lord of Mosha Country has been sullen until now.

There’s a high chance he’s planning so big move.”

Upon hearing this, even Chen Dengming felt so degree of unease.

He wasn’t the only one who had tead up to kill the Kill Devil Protector.

Let’s take a step back; the plan to kill the Prince of Mosha Country, severely wounding the Blood-Killing Dharma Protector, wasn’t just concocted by the Longevity Sect alone.

And yet, now all the accusations are being directed at the Longevity Sect.

Are all of them assuming that the Longevity Sect is easy to bully due to their peaceful deanor?

“Anyway, Brother Chen, you don’t have to worry too much now.

Even if the Holy Mother of Beiyin’s challenge is approved, and even if our ancestors lose the battle, they absolutely won’t hand you over…”

Master Ran said comfortingly with a smile.

Generating a serious expression, he reminded, “But you must still prepare yourself.

You still have a lot of rit yet to be used, right?

You should exchange so lifesaving items in the near future.

In case any trouble arises later, it would be better to be prepared.”

Chen Dengming felt a sense of heaviness in his heart.

Master Ran is one of the oldest persons in the sect, who once held a position equal to the three ancestors.

On the surface, as the Longevity Daoist, he is the highest-ranking person in the sect apart from the Sect Leader.

But in reality, apart from Sect Leader Xing, in terms of experience and authority, Master Ran holds the highest position.

The words he just said might have been vetted by Xing Huiguang or even the ancestors, which indicates that the situation is indeed not optimistic.

“Thank you for the reminder, Elder Brother Ran.

I’ve understood the situation.”

Chen Dengming smiled and thanked him.

He then requested the list of exchange items within the Hall of rit from Ran Yiqiang, and returned to his dwelling with a heavy heart.

On the way, he ran into Elder Zhu Guangbiao and cordially greeted him.

Zhu Guangbiao slowed down his Escape Speed to return the greeting and hesitated, as if wanting to say sothing, but stopped himself.

A thought occurred to Chen Dengming, and he respectfully asked, “Brother Zhu, is there sothing you wanted to discuss?”

Zhu Guangbiao sighed and shook his head, “Brother Chen, you have gained enough attention these past years.

The na Chen Baimao is known across the Four Regions.

As the saying goes, ‘the tree that sticks out gets the wind.’ You are a smart person, and you clearly understand this.

You should be more low-profile in the future.”

Chen Dengming paused for a mont.

Annoyance flashed across his face.

This Zhu Guangbiao must have heard so news as well.

Zhu Guangbiao’s heart skipped a beat.

He quickly gave a dry laugh and said apologetically, “Don’t be offended, Brother.

I only ntioned it out of concern and didn’t an anything else.”

The expression on Chen Dengming’s face softened, and he replied with a smile, “You’re right, Brother.

Our Longevity Sect has always favoured pacifism.

I have gained too much attention these past years, bringing trouble upon you all.”

Zhu Guangbiao’s face instantly turned red.

He felt awkward and hot.

After exchanging a few polite words, he sighed, shook his head, and left.

As Chen Dengming watched Zhu Guangbiao leave, he continued on his way.

However, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Human hearts are indeed strange.

No person will stay by your side during a disaster, even if they shared in your prosperity.

This has nothing to do with one’s abilities or social class.

It only depends on human nature.

One doesn’t always have control over their own life if they live in the world.

All the attention he had drawn in these years was mostly during the performance of his duties, where he was forced to fight back.

Almost none of it was instigated by him.

The tasks he had completed had also brought the sect a considerable amount of benefits and honour.

Like during the ti in the wilderness, his achievents and reputation brought the Longevity Sect more ti and space to idle.

Back then, weren’t there people who appreciated his efforts?

Or, when he had eradicated the Blazing Blood Demon.

His achievents and reputation had made other sects reluctant to look down on the cultivators from the Longevity Sect, and they also realized their capabilities.

Whether it was destroying the Array to eliminate the Bull-headed General, killing the Beiling Saint, or the Kill Devil Protector, in which incident did he actively seek trouble, and in which one was he forced to put his life on the line, all the while making remarkable contributions?

But now when trouble cos knocking, there are people within the Sect who are denying all his contributions.

They think he’s seeking fa and fortune?
