The fields were a vast expanse of white, and the biting winter wind whipped up clumps of snow and mist, howling and rushing away along the mountains and plains, like a vast white dragon.

The stars in the distant sky were clear and bright, each one bowing its head low, like eyes watching over the Cultivation World below where all things under the frosty sky compete freely.

In fact, at this moment there were indeed two stars, like two eyes, looking down and observing the vast, tranquil white expanse, searching for anything suspicious.

These two eyes were formed by Chen Dengming using the [Eye of the Heavens] with his Immortal Celestial Dao Power, transforming into the shape of stars in the Sky Dome, traveling thousands of miles, and probing all directions.

In terms of long-range observation capabilities, the [Eye of the Heavens] surpasses the [Heavenly Eye] by a considerable margin.

In Chen Dengming's view, this ability was somewhat similar to the satellite from his previous life.

However, even with such abilities, finding a group of Nascent Soul True Lord who are deliberately trying to hide is no easy task.

At that moment, a thought struck him; the Eye of the Heavens had already spotted several spirit boats flying in from afar.

It was Feng Qingbo.

Besides these, there were two other slight fluctuations of Spiritual Qi in the vast, snow-covered mountains. The route between him and Feng Qingbo caught the attention of his Eye of the Heavens, which hung high in the Sky Dome.

Although he couldn't see any cultivators, the unusually faint spiritual energy waves allowed him to determine that someone was using a stealth technique to follow him.

He guessed that it was most likely two Nascent Soul True Lord hidden in the shadows, arranged by the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, because the aura emanating from these two was consistent with the Waist Token issued by the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance.

This is one of the criteria for distinguishing between friend and foe.

Another criterion is that the aura of the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator is different from that of the Four Regions Cultivators. Whether they are allied cultivators or not can be easily determined by their aura.

However, Chen Dengming now knows who it is and has marked it in advance.

At this time, Feng Qingbo had already gathered, and they were only two thousand miles away from the location of the third Yin Spring.

The two Ghost Bride, along with any other possible enemy cultivators, never showed themselves.

This patience was beyond Chen Dengming's expectations.

If he hadn't already confirmed with the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord that the two Ghost Bride were nearby, he might have suspected that the enemy hadn't arrived at all.

"They're quite patient. Are they planning to make their move at the third Yin Spring?"

Chen Dengming felt something was off and took out the Yinquan Underworld map he had obtained from Ghost King Qian Luo to examine it again.

The third Yin Spring is located deep within the Fengling Mountains in the Eastern Region.

That place used to be the Mountain Gate of the Dan Sect.

After the four regions fell, the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Ancestor Pill Sect was unable to escape. He and a group of Golden Core Elder were all invited by the Five Elements Sword Lord to the Five Elements Sword Sect to refine pills.

The other disciples were treated like commodities, divided up by various external forces, and reduced to tools for alchemy.

The Fengling Mountains have now been designated as the territory of the Bright Light Sect, but the Bright Light Sect has not yet come to take it over, leaving the vast mountain range as an empty space.

The third Yin Spring is located in one of the valleys.

Chen Dengming reviewed the information about the third Yin Spring once more.

According to the notes on the map, this third Yin Spring is the territory of the Five Mist Yin Spring Ghost Lord.

The title of Five Mist Yin Spring Ghost Lord is a title bestowed upon five Ghost Lord kings, Nascent Soul Early Stage to Nascent Soul Late Stages, who came together as a group.

This combination is extremely rare in the Ghost Realm.

Because all ghost cultivators harbor ulterior motives, and those at the Nascent Soul Realm stage are all cunning and treacherous, it is difficult for them to trust and unite with one another.

However, the actual legend of the Five Mist Yin Spring Ghost Lord is that he was originally a family of five brothers who were killed by a ghost cultivator and then refined into five ghosts to be controlled.

After the ghost cultivator died tragically in the battle, the five ghosts, having inherited the ghost cultivator's Daoist arts, cultivated together to the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul over a thousand years. They were no longer distinguishable from one another, and even had a Technique Method that allowed the five ghosts to unite, giving them the strength to contend with a Nascent Soul Perfection Ghost Lord.

"If the two Ghost Bride choose to hold the Battlefield at the third Yin Spring, it's probably because they're somewhat connected to the Five Mist Yin Spring Ghost Lord."

Ideally, the risks should be contained or mitigated.

Just as Chen Dengming was pondering this, the Eye of the Heavens suddenly detected another anomaly, sensing an unusual fluctuation.

This fluctuation was neither the sound of wind nor water, but more like the fluctuation of a collision of minds Divine Sense.

If it weren't for his spiritual attainments far surpassing those of ordinary people, and the fact that his Eye of the Heavens was in a state of the Heavenly Heart Realm, allowing him to perceive all things with exceptional clarity, he simply wouldn't have been able to capture such a subtle message.

Even so, he was unable to pinpoint the source of the disturbance, but a sense of unease the Unseen into his heart, and the hairs on his body stood on end, sensing that danger was approaching.

"Someone is communicating through Divine Sense or telepathy; the distance shouldn't be far."

Chen Dengming's heart stirred. He stepped out of the cabin, looked around, and his gaze met that of Mi Changzai noticed his unusual behavior and cast a glance at him.

If anyone on the spirit boats around here were to communicate using their Divine Sense or mind, it would be extremely difficult to hide it from his perception. Even if he couldn't determine what was being communicated, he could pinpoint their exact location.

He quickly transmitted his voice to Mi Changzai, saying, "I have roughly detected the enemy's movements. Be prepared. Once I have further confirmed their location, we will act accordingly."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step back under Mi Changzai's surprised gaze and continued to hide in the cabin. His eyes gleamed with Silver Light, and an ethereal aura rose from his body.

At this moment, he gradually focused his mind, his consciousness becoming increasingly concentrated, and he gradually put everything around him out of his mind, without any thoughts or desires.

To enter the Seven Absolute Realms, one must first guard one's mind, so that one can gradually enter into nothingness and ultimately reach a state of no-mind.

The one who tied the knot must untie it.

To capture the fluctuations of the Divine Sense consciousness, one must also utilize the spiritual power of the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage.

Chen Dengming soon seemed to be merging into the space between nothingness and reality.

In that instant, he had already detected a message of mental fluctuation, which contained a faint killing intent.

Instantly, his mental probe traced the direction from which the sound came and intercepted a segment of mental wave.

"Let's make our move. Before they regroup, they've already observed everything today. Clearly, they're sealing off the Yin Spring. There are no other ambushes or traps. We can take them down!"

When Chen Dengming intercepted this segment of mental wave, he also determined the source of this Divine Sense communication—it was only a hundred miles away from him.

Furthermore, it was revealed that the person communicating with the other through Divine Sense was a lone individual with Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation level.

At that moment, a mental wave from a more distant location arrived, though it was very indistinct.

Chen Dengming immediately focused his mind, and his body became even more ethereal, almost entering a state of nothingness.

At the same time, the indistinct voice became clearer, filled with a faint killing intent.

"Then let's prepare to make our move. You stay there and don't move. I'll move closer to the location of the Holy Mother and the others, and wait for our signal to make our move."

At the same time, Chen Dengming also detected the location of the second mental fluctuation, which was more than 400 miles away. There was only one person there, who was suspected to Nascent Soul Late Stage of the Nascent Soul realm. The distance was still closing as the spirit boat moved forward.

"Nascent Soul Late Stage, plus a Holy Mother, they really think highly of me. Luckily, my Second Senior Brother and third senior sister are already on their way."

This distance is extremely short for a Nascent Soul True Lord.

Chen Dengming deduced that the Holy Mother should be the Northern Yin Holy Mother.

However, since the Northern Yin Holy Mother was not speaking through her mind, he was unable to determine her exact location, and he could not even find out where the two Ghost Bride were.

However, now that he knew the location of one of the enemies and that the enemy was about to make a move, Chen Dengming no longer hesitated and decided to take action against the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator who was nearby.

He quickly used telepathy to inform Mi Changzai, Feng Qingbo, and the two Nascent Soul True Lord hiding in the shadows who held the Waist Token of the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, of the enemy's location.

"There is enemy activity 400 li to the northeast corner. There is enemy activity 100 li to the southeast corner. They are preparing to attack, and we are ready to fight at any time!"

As soon as the message ended, Chen Dengming's body, which existed between illusion and reality, suddenly stomped his foot and rushed towards the southeast corner.

Just before he touched the cabin wall, he completely focused his mind, becoming devoid of thought, form, and trace.

In an instant--

A flash of Silver Light.

His figure vanished into thin air within the cabin, entering the 'formless and intangible' state of the Seven Absolute Realms, and rapidly approached the enemy's location a hundred miles to the southeast, following the momentum of his movement.

It is in a state of nothingness, with no air resistance.

Even under inertia, his forward speed was astonishing, even faster than his normal flying speed.

At the same time.

Outside the cabin, Mi Changzai a daze, suddenly opened them, his eyes flashing with divine light. In that instant, a hint of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes as he sensed that Chen Dengming's presence inside the cabin had disappeared.

This was one of the Technique Method that had defeated him and left him helpless, so he was naturally aware of Technique Method wonder and power.

At the same time, Feng Qingbo and the two Nascent Soul True Lord hiding in the shadows were all startled the instant they received the telepathic message.

"Sect Leader Chen discovered the enemy's presence so quickly?"

The two Nascent Soul True Lords, who thought they had hidden themselves well, were both shocked and stunned. They almost thought that the enemy had discovered their whereabouts, and their hearts pounded wildly.

After realizing what had happened, they were all a little slow to process it.

Was that telepathic communication just now from Chen Dengming, the Fighting Longevity Lord?

When were they exposed?

Or perhaps Zuo Qiu Ling verbally claimed their whereabouts were kept secret, but in reality, he used some means to allow Chief Chen to pinpoint their location?

These doubts arose in the mind like a flash of lightning.

In a depression in the southeast, covered in snow Nalan Huishan, Nascent Soul True Lord the Dao of Unbridled Passion, one of the four major sects of the Outer Realm Devil, felt a tremor in her heart as she inexplicably sensed a faint aura of danger approaching.

Inside his body, the nascent Nascent Soul, radiating a faint spiritual light, suddenly opened its eyes, its gaze carrying a hint of wariness and doubt.

At this moment, under the cover of the Law Treasure, the Concealing Spirit Robe, she had completely blended into her surroundings, even perfectly concealing her aura.

It was because of the existence of Yin Yi Lingyi that she dared to take on the responsibility of following, always keeping a relatively close distance to Chen Dengming and the others' spirit boat, waiting for an opportunity to act.

But now, feeling a strange unease, Nalan Huishan remained vigilant and dared not be careless. She carefully observed her surroundings and, seeing nothing amiss, prepared to leave.

As soon as she moved, the air around her suddenly became slightly turbulent, and a faint, unfamiliar spiritual power appeared.

"Not good!"

Nalan Huishan's pretty face changed instantly.

Boom!--

A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air hundreds of feet away, instantly dispelling the awe-inspiring spiritual power it exuded, and pointed at her with a hand seal.

Choke!--

A dazzling blade of light shot straight up, its brilliant light illuminating the night sky like lightning, its chilling aura terrifying to the soul.

Seven Star Mother-Child Glazed Blade - Kaiyang!

Intense, overwhelming pressure suddenly descended upon me.

Nalan Huishan was shocked. She made hand seals at the same time, and the Law Treasure bead in front of her neck hummed instantly. It flew out with a "whoosh" and seemed to gather thousands of brilliant rays of light into a single point, colliding precisely with the tip of the blade that was approaching in an instant!

Bite!--

A shockwave of astonishingly sharp Spiritual Qi erupted the instant the jade bead collided with the blade tip, transforming into two distinct semicircles that frantically canceled each other out, whipping up thousands of snowflakes like thousands of waves.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Dengming's figure moved like a whirlwind, his robes clinging to his body like a tight-fitting garment, piercing through the thick snow mist and instantly approaching Nalan Huishan.

While his body was still flying rapidly through the air, the Divine Transformation Stone in his hand emitted an astonishing radiance, like a thunderbolt streaking across the sky, instantly extending into a gleaming broadsword, its sharpness fully revealed.

In the blink of an eye, the broadsword had already covered the hundreds of feet between him and Nalan Huishan, slashing fiercely at her pale head.

This attack caught Nalan Huishan completely off guard.

She couldn't fathom why the enemy would suddenly appear beside her, or why her Concealment Robe's camouflage was completely ineffective.

But there was no time to think about all these "whys" at that moment.

She immediately formed a hand seal, intending to circulate her Nascent Soul Power and mobilize her Law Treasure to defend herself.

Just then, the white-haired man opposite suddenly unleashed an unparalleled silver light from his eyes.

In an instant, her mind went blank for a moment, as if she saw a magnificent giant standing tall and firm, opening his eyes as dazzling as stars and sweeping them towards her suddenly, causing her heart to tremble.

Life-or-death threat!

Just as her nascent Nascent Soul was barely freed from this terrifying mental shock, a sharp pain shot through her neck.

Immediately afterwards, blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain.

A beautiful woman with fair skin and a lovely face flew off, landing with a 'plop' on the cold, white snow, accompanied by a stream of bright red blood. It was a shocking sight.

While its body was still convulsing and flying backward in mid-air with the enormous impact, the greatsword suddenly transformed, splitting into smaller knives that formed a net-like pattern, flashing with astonishing light, and suddenly rushed past!

"Puff!--"

The hidden spiritual garment covering her body instantly turned into tattered rags and shattered, her entire body instantly exploded into blood and grime, and her bones were shattered into pieces.

Even Nascent Soul True Body would find it difficult to withstand a direct attack from a fourth-tier Law Treasure containing Nascent Soul power.

"Ah!--"

Only then did her nascent Nascent Soul escape from her body with a terrified scream. The Nascent Soul's spirit body was also covered with several knife marks, severely injured, and fled in panic.

However, before she could get very far, a terrifying roar, accompanied by the wailing of thousands of ghosts and wolves, came from above.

But then a White Bone Thousand Soul Chariot filled with a sinister aura rumbled in, its speed astonishing, almost as fast as Nascent Soul's escape speed.

Before the vehicle, countless vengeful spirits gathered together, frantically dragging the chariot along, stretching out their long arms to grab Nalan Huishan's Nascent Soul, wanting to viciously pull it back to their side and become one with it.

"Stop!!"

"You brat!"

Suddenly, four incredibly powerful spiritual auras appeared from two directions hundreds of miles away, rapidly heading towards Chen Dengming's location.

But at the same time...

Mi Changzai and Feng Qingbo, who were rapidly approaching, also let out long howls in response to Chen Dengming.

"Sect Leader Chen, well done! Fighting Longevity Lord, you truly live up to your name, hahaha!"

Two other Nascent Soul True Lord, who were lurking in the shadows, also quickly approached the battle.

"Four Nascent Soul? Two late-stage and two mid-stage, plus this one on my side. The Outer Domain Evil Cultivator camp really thinks highly of me."

Chen Dengming seemed oblivious to the oppressive aura that suddenly erupted from afar; his expression was solemn yet calm.

This enemy lineup was only slightly unexpected, but given his own lineup, he wasn't afraid.

Furthermore, at this moment, he had already sensed the presence of the two Ghost Bride; the target of this ordeal had appeared.

He made a hand gesture with one finger.

The Divine Transformation Stone suddenly swelled in the wind, transforming into several large, shimmering nets. Ignoring the threatening roars from the enemy Nascent Soul Nascent Soul True Lord in the distance, it enveloped the female Nascent Soul who was entangled with the thousands of wronged souls of the White Bone Thousand Soul Chariot.

Stop?

Since they are enemies, not friends, how could they possibly stop?

In the Cultivation World, when it comes to life and death, it's a matter of survival.

No matter how hard Nalan Huishan struggled, even though her Nascent Soul eventually unleashed an incomparably pure and alluring demonic power, it was all in vain.

The so-called Six Desires Demon Leaf and Seven Emotions Demon Flower of the demonic path could not shake Chen Dengming's rock-solid mind.

Moreover, the Divine Transformation Stone was originally refined by the Water of the Underworld River, which also has a suppressive and deterrent effect on spiritual entities like Nascent Souls, which are similar to Nascent Soul.

In the end, within five or six breaths, Nalan Huishan's Nascent Soul was captured alive by the net formed by the Divine Transformation Blade, shrinking back into Chen Dengming's palm, constantly begging for mercy.

"Noisy!"

Chen Dengming snorted coldly and directly sealed the Nascent Soul inside the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff.

Meanwhile, in two areas two or three hundred miles away, enemy cultivators who had taken the initiative to appear had already engaged in battle with Mi Changzai, Feng Qingbo, and others.

This Nascent Soul battle among Nascent Soul cultivators erupted with thunderous roars, creating dazzling streaks of light in the night sky, a truly astonishing spectacle.

As soon as the battle began, Mi Changzai and Feng Qingbo quickly found themselves at a disadvantage.

However, at that very moment, two Nascent Soul from the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, who had been hiding in the shadows, attacked simultaneously, catching the enemy off guard and temporarily stabilizing the situation.

"Hmm? Island Master Chai? And Dragon Transformation True Lord!"

Chen Dengming looked surprised. He recognized at a glance that the Nascent Soul Late Stage Divine Sense cultivator who had turned from hiding to making his move was Chai Shun, the Island Master Dragon Spirit Island.

The other cultivator, Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, was an old acquaintance: Shangguan Linjiang, the former acting leader of the Alliance of Sects and the sect leader of the Dragon Transformation True Lord Dragon Transformation Sect.

However, the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator had two cultivators at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, one of whom was the Northern Yin Holy Mother, whose cultivation was about to reach the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Perfection. In terms of strength, they were superior to their own side, and they quickly stabilized the situation.

Chen Dengming frowned slightly, quickly flew towards the distant battle circle, and at the same time made a hand seal. His Storage Bag flashed with spiritual light and two items flew out.

One item is Sound Transmission Jade Talisman.

One thing is the Soul Guiding Banner!

Chen Dengming quickly sent a Divine Sense into the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman to inquire how long it would take for Su Yan Yan and Jiang Jian to arrive.

Simultaneously, he multitasked, making a hand seal and shaking the Soul Guiding Banner to Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun whose body was covered in pitch-black, dark lightning and whose aura was terrifying.

"Old Zhu, you and Ling'er go and capture those two Ghost Bride for me. If you can't capture them, kill them on sight. Be careful!"

Chen Dengming simultaneously threw out the Soul House.

Soul House, a wave-like ribbon flew out, and the Little Array Spirit emerged from the ribbon, turning back with a smile, and gently opened its shell.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist! I guarantee I will complete the task."

"Bang!"

The Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun into a bolt of dark lightning, streaking across the night sky and heading straight for the location indicated by Chen Dengming's Divine Sense transmission.

The Little Array Spirit followed closely behind.

These two ghosts are stronger than each other. The Little Array Spirit is already in the stage of becoming a Ghost Infant, and has almost recovered half of its past life memories. However, it is missing two souls, so it cannot form a baby.

However, in terms of combat prowess, with its rich experience, it is no less than an ordinary ghost king, and capturing two Ghost Bride who are only at the Golden Core stage is naturally a piece of cake.
