The news of Luo Mountain City falling into the hands of Hanji Sect's Golden Core elder quickly reached the Longevity Sect, and into the ears of Chen Dengming.
In the mulberry grove of Changle Peak, every tree was laden with emerald-green leaves and festooned with clusters of sweet red and black mulberries.
Chen Dengming took off his shoes to rinse his feet in the Spirit Spring Stream, inhaling the fragrance of the mulberries on the branches while listening to Sang Tianrong and others' reports. He was thus trying to calm the rage billowing inside him with the icy stream water and the sweet scent of the mulberries, his spiritual platform gradually clearing and becoming mirror-like.
After a while, when Sang Tianrong's report was finished, he walked out of the stream and brushed off traces of sand from his feet on the grassy bank, addressing them with a calm smile.
