Arrogant and domineering Chen Baimao!
Down-to-earth and low-key Chen Laodeng Chapter 999: 401: Divine Transformation Blood!
Arrogant and domineering Chen Baimao!
Down-to-earth and low-key Chen Laodeng The encirclement and beheading operation had ended, leaving a battlefield that resembled the capital of the Nightmare Kingdom razed to the ground from its very foundations.
The city was in chaos, with rubble and ruins everywhere, and the once-bustling marketplaces were littered with destroyed buildings and collapsed Floating Islands blocking the roads.
...
With the fall of the Nightmare Kingdom’s ruler and the Holy Mother of Beiyin, the Nightmare Kingdom and the North Spirit Sect existed in name only.
Although a considerable number of Demons and Cultivators took the chaos as an opportunity to escape, they were no longer a significant threat.
These remnants would be gradually eradicated in the further encirclement and suppression by the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance.
After regrouping, Chen Dengming and others joined forces to destroy the Nightmare Kingdom’s treasure vault and library, taking with them the entire wealth of the Demon Country.
As for the wealth of the North Spirit Sect, a search proved fruitless, and everyone tacitly decided not to mention it.
They speculated that the wealth of the North Spirit Sect might have been carried by the Holy Mother of Beiyin herself.
Since Chen Dengming had vanquished the Holy Mother of Beiyin, the wealth naturally belonged to him, as he had single-handedly slain her.
It was best for everyone to tacitly agree not to ask about such spoils of war.
As for the wealth of the Nightmare Kingdom, the group would discuss sharing a portion of it upon their return.
The unnecessary wealth would be handed over to the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, exchanged for Merit Points, and then used to exchange for the resources each person needed, thus maximizing the benefits of the resources.
After such busy work, a stick of incense had passed.
Since there was a possibility of Divine Transformation powerhouses arriving, the group did not linger for long and quickly retreated in a fourth-order Spirit Boat.
Throughout their escape, they witnessed large areas of land and mountain ranges that had collapsed, and many Demons, Demonic Beasts, and Demon Cultivation practitioners were buried within the ruins.
This woeful and chaotic state continued for hundreds of miles before it began to improve slightly.
However, even hundreds of miles away, one could still see cracks in the earth tens of kilometers long, caused by earthquakes.
A large river had even broken through its embankment, causing a flood that submerged some mortal villages and towns.
Clouds churned in the sky, and tens of miles away, there were columns of wind wailing like tornadoes.
A hundred miles away, there were torrential downpours, with thunder flashing in the clouds, creating a harsh and peculiar environment.
All these were chain reactions caused by the clashes of several Nascent Soul powerhouses.
When powerhouses battled, they depleted the Spiritual Energy within thousands of miles, not only causing the Spiritual Energy within a thousand miles to become sparse.
The chaotic collision of their powerful energies caused mountains to collapse and rivers to change course, bringing about severe changes in the heavenly phenomena.
After eliminating the Holy Mother of Beiyin, Chen Dengming had originally felt quite pleased.
However, his mood worsened when he witnessed the plight of the low-level Cultivators and mortals struggling to survive in the disaster-stricken areas.
This reminded him of the difficult days he had spent fighting side by side with Jiang Qiang in the Southern Region’s Thousands of Miles Frontier during the Beast Tide, struggling for survival.
He was also reminded of the scene he had witnessed earlier of Cultivators being held captive by Demons in the mountains.
“Old Chen, what’s wrong?”
Qiao Zhaoxian, who was beside him, noticed the expression of his former comrade-in-arms, now a senior figure, and asked.
Chen Dengming shook his head, his temples of white hair fluttering in the wind, and counter-questioned without answering, “When will the Cultivators from the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance come to take over?
I remember seeing some captives in the mountains earlier, and among them may be people from our Southeastern Two Realms or the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance.
They might need rescue assistance.”
Qiao Zhaoxian was taken aback, and others around them also showed changing expressions, somewhat surprised.
This issue, not just Qiao Zhaoxian, but the others too, probably hadn’t considered it.
For their mission was simply to encircle and behead.

Subconsciously, they assumed that the success of the encirclement and beheading mission would not only be a good thing for the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance but also a great liberation for many Cultivators who were enslaved.
As for the subsequent cleanup, mopping up, and receiving duties, those were not their responsibility to consider or inquire about, so naturally, no one thought about it.
Yet no one had considered that even if the encirclement and beheading were successful, the resultant chaos and the brief collapse of the Nightmare Kingdom’s order might actually trigger even more extensive slaughter and disorder.
That those captives who hadn’t managed to escape previously might now be in an even more dangerous situation.
Now that Chen Dengming had brought it up, everyone recalled that they had indeed seen many suffering Cultivators enslaved in the forests within the capital of the Nightmare Kingdom.
Mo Jiazheng’s expression grew solemn, “Sect Leader Chen’s reminder is timely.
I will immediately send a message to urge Elder Zuo to send backup teams to assist.”
Chen Dengming pondered, nodded in agreement, and then shook his head, “It might take a while for them to arrive, so I will send two Incarnations for search and rescue in the meantime.
How many captive Cultivators we can rescue will be up to Heavenly Will.
If I send Incarnations to rescue them, even if something dangerous occurs, it won’t matter.”
Considering the threat of Deity Transformation Dao Lords, even if the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance continues to send teams for encirclement and receiving duties, it would definitely take time.
Chen Dengming still plans to send two Incarnations to rescue some Cultivators first; how many he can save is not for him to judge.
To him, this was but a small effort.
But for many Cultivators suffering in dire straits, it could be a precious chance for their lives to continue.
Chen Dengming cultivated with a clear conscience, valuing an untroubled spirit.
This intense battle of encirclement and beheading, though beneficial to the Four Regions from the outset,
has resulted in consequences that have left many who were already suffering, in even more desperate straits.
