Clone Enters Yin Spring! Ghost Soldiers Borrow Passage, Ghost Cultivators Confront

Summoned by Chen Dengming himself, in less than a day, the Incense Clone flew from the Western Regions to the Yin Ghost Mountain Range.

Meanwhile, Below the Yin Spring, the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord had already begun mobilizing his troops, preparing to launch a campaign against the Yin Nether Ghost King according to plan.

For a time, the Starfall Ghost City filled with a chilling Yin Wind and eerie atmosphere.

The endless, surging ghostly energy, like black mist gushing from a bottomless abyss, wove a thick, dark, and terrifying wave of ghostly energy atop the ghost city. Countless ghost cultivators floated and sank in the wave, letting out loud roars in response to the call.

Outside the ghost city, numerous Ghost Soldiers, clad in armor and armed with weapons, formed a square formation under the command of ghost generals, raised ghost flags, and then marched in a mighty procession toward the underworld.

Below the Yin Spring, ghost cultivators formed an army.

Even if an individual is not strong enough, after rigorous training, when they form a military formation and combine various Formation Flag and Ghost Artifact, weak individuals can unite to unleash a power that threatens the strong.

This is quite rare in the Human World. Only a few demon kingdoms or a handful of top sects can train such a well-trained army of cultivators.

Compared to this army of ghost cultivators, the army of Yin spirits summoned by the Soul Devouring Sect Soul Guiding Banner was simply a rabble.

The commotion at Starfall Ghost City immediately alerted the many spies sent out by the Yin Nether Ghost King.

The well-prepared Yinming Ghost City quickly sprang into action.

A large number of ghost cultivators and Ghost Soldiers rapidly gathered in the Yinming Ghost City, like dark clouds pushing in from all sides, making the Royal City as black as the bottom of a pot, making it difficult for people to even breathe.

Inside the Ghost King's Palace, the towering Yin Nether Ghost King before a massive sand table. He wore a black Daoist robe, exuding a sinister aura, and his face was deathly pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. At this moment, his eyes shot out a sinister and terrifying light as he coldly snorted.

"That old ghost Xingluo finally couldn't resist attacking me! Fortunately, I had already received a warning from the Soul-Seizing Ghost King and was prepared! How terrifying!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

A Golden Core Ghost General, clad in jet-black armor with menacing barbs, strode out with a resounding clang, his body shrouded in eerie ghostly mist, and stood firm, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

The Yin Nether Ghost King turned his head and said coldly, "You are preparing to lead the five members of the Netherworld Death Cultivator Team to lie in wait near Starfall Ghost City."

"Upon receiving my command, launch an immediate attack on Starfall Ghost City, at all costs!"

With the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord personally leading a large number of Ghost Soldiers and ghost cultivators to attack, Starfall Ghost City will inevitably be left vulnerable.

Even if they had prepared a backup plan, they would inevitably be impacted by the attack of his Yinming Death Cultivator Army.

At crucial moments, this kind of impact is the decisive secret to restraining and influencing the mind of the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord.

Even if we can't influence the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord, we can still probe the true strength of Starfall Ghost City, complete the reconnaissance, and prepare for conquering the Ghost City.

Meanwhile, in a Nether River Water palace on the River Styx between Yinming Ghost City and Starfall Ghost City, the Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun also received a telepathic message from Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord.

"My ladies, prepare to accompany your husband on this campaign! Remember, your own safety must come first!"

Deep within the Water Mansion, the Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun three zhang tall, strode out. He held a thick Soul-Reaping Bow Staff, his broad back and muscular waist were as straight as a javelin, exuding an intimidating aura, as if even a thousand-pound burden could not crush him.

Two Ghost Bride flew out of the room and rushed over.

"Husband, have everything been arranged with Senior Chen?"

Zhu Xun pulled Madam Shizi Yan into his arms, the force almost knocking off her freshly repaired face. He smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Everything is ready now, we just need the right opportunity."

Starfall Old Ghost instructed me to lie low for now, and then strike a sneak attack to kill the Yin Nether Ghost King at the crucial moment.

But Brother Chen and I joined forces and launched a surprise attack at a crucial moment, targeting Starfall Old Ghost. He never expected that I would betray him by joining forces with Old Ghost Yinming."

The second wife said worriedly, "Senior Chen can only inhabit Husband mind with his spiritual power, which can enhance Husband mental strength in the short term, but the enemy is, after all, a Ghost Lord at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage."

Zhu Xun's eyes, as large as copper bells, shot out a cold light like sharp blades, making people's hearts tremble. He smiled faintly and said, "Not bad, the enemy is very powerful, but don't underestimate the Yin Nether Ghost King."

The fact that Starfall Old Ghost dared to leave Ghost City presented the Yin Nether Ghost King with an excellent opportunity.

He would absolutely go all out, even to the death, to kill Starfall Old Ghost. If he missed this opportunity, he might never have another chance like this...

Zhu Xun paused, then continued, "Furthermore, don't underestimate Brother Chen. The title of 'Fighting Longevity Lord' is built upon the corpses of a group of Nascent Soul True Lord!"

Just then, the Sound Transmission Jade Talisman emitted a spiritual light, and the Yin Nether Ghost King also sent a message.

"Soul-Snatching Ghost King, the Starfall Old Ghost has indeed dispatched his Starfall Yin Ghost Soldiers. When does this old ghost plan to leave the city? What are your detailed plans? Tell me quickly."

Inside the Yin Cave.

The Yin Spring, which was originally as calm as a precious mirror, began to swirl into a deep vortex as the powerful ghostly energy moved, emitting a strong suction force, like a Yin-Yang Ghost Path leading straight to the Netherworld, where even people's souls would be sucked in.

Outside the Yin Cave, Chen Dengming stood tall and imposing, his white hair flying wildly at his temples. With a few quick hand seals, Heavenly Immortal Clone rapidly condensed and transformed into the same form as the Incense Clone, concealing their auras so that their specific strengths could not be discerned.

Then, with a wave of his sleeve, the White Bone Thousand Soul Chariot flew out of the Storage Bag, and the roars of thousands of wronged souls immediately echoed.

Whoosh whoosh--

Yin Wind swept through the area, and the temperature seemed to have plummeted.

The several clones flew onto the White Bone Thousand Soul Chariot, and were then surrounded by a protective shield formed by the entanglement of pale ghost claws.

Roar! Roar! Roar! --

The white bone wheels rolled on, heading straight for the Yin Spring that formed the vortex channel, and instantly disappeared into it.

The moment they entered the Yin Spring, all the clones simultaneously felt an icy chill that nearly froze them solid.

However, at that moment, the two Heart of the Ocean hearts Incense Clone's brows, resembling flower imprints, flickered with a strange and mysterious light.

The chilling spring water that had been encroaching from the surroundings gradually spread and formed a transparent, bubble-like dome, isolating the soul-chilling cold.

"Fortunately. As long as it's water, the Heart of the Ocean can control and manipulate it."

However, given the sheer intensity of this Yin Qi, even my true form would likely face danger if I were to enter, and whether I could even reach the Below the Yin Spring is uncertain."

Outside the Yin Cave, Chen Dengming's mind was solemn. His eyes suddenly shot out like two bright swords, transmitting several powerful Mental Strength to solidify the mental imprints within his several clones and dispel the invading cold aura.

The water of Yin Spring is the most Yin water in the world, and it is said to be the crystallization of the Water of the Underworld River.

This water can separate Yin and Yang. Human World a person with Yang energy enters it, their Yang energy will be submerged and lost by the extreme Yin energy of this water, which is why they feel a bone-chilling cold.

Ghost Soul are Yin Spirit spirits devoid of yang energy, so entering the yin spring will not only not harm them, but will actually make them feel right at home.

The several clones that Chen Dengming created were not formed from Flesh and Blood.

Furthermore, with the protection of the Heart of the Ocean, as long as the mental imprint is kept stable and the Technique Method's state is not broken, the Life Force will not be taken away by the Yin Spring water.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't I go down later as well? Perhaps we'll have a better chance of success!"

At this moment, Soul House, the graceful figure of the Little Array Spirit appeared, delicate and beautiful, with a heroic air, speaking at a speed that was no longer stuttering.

"No!"

Without a second thought, Chen Dengming flatly refused, his eyes flashing with a sharp light as he said, "You haven't recovered your Nascent Soul strength yet. I know you're eager to unify your Seven Souls, but this isn't something that can be rushed."

The Little Array Spirit stuck out her tongue, a sweet smile appearing on her jade-like face. "I understand. You don't need to keep a straight face right away. I'll listen to you."

Chen Dengming shook his head. "I hope that after you regain all your former strength and memories, you will still be able to speak and listen to me like this."

Two incense sticks later, the White Bone Thousand Soul Chariot, carrying several clones, descended into Starfall Ghost City along the Yin Spring vortex passage.

"Four clones condensed from Spiritual Qi? Judging from their auras, they don't seem very strong. Without sufficient Spiritual Qi to sustain them, these clones probably won't last long in the Below the Yin Spring."

In mid-air, on a throne dragged by two enormous ghostly beasts, the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord sat reclining, his cold gaze fixed on the Yin Spring passage opposite him, which resembled a pillar of light, his double pupils contracting uncertainly.

"Does the Longevity Sect Leader intend to use these clones to personally investigate the situation below and search for the Shore Flower?"

Although they couldn't immediately figure out the purpose of the other party's clones, since they were certain that they were just a few harmless spiritual clones, there was nothing to worry about.

Below the Yin Spring, only ghosts are the most powerful beings.

Other beings, including spirit clones, are not Non-My Dao Cultivator and find it difficult to adapt to the environment filled with Yin Qi and thin Spiritual Qi.

However, to be on the safe side, the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord would certainly not allow these clones to remain within the Ghost City.

He immediately summoned several clones and feigned enthusiasm.

"Sect Leader Chen, I didn't expect that the people you sent down were actually clones you created with your Law Power? Are you going to personally search for clues about the Shore Flower?"

"Why don't you come with me now to fight the Yin Nether Ghost King, and then I'll send them to find the Shore Flower."

Even though they are separated by the Human World and the underworld, Chen Dengming can still maintain mental contact with all his clones.

At this moment, he was naturally well aware of what Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord's concerns were, and immediately controlled his clone.

"Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord, these clones of mine are just here to look around casually."

With their power, they are no match for the battle between your Ghost Kings Ghost Lord. Let them do as they please.

"Okay, okay."

Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord chuckled lightly, "I will leave the city immediately to conquer the Yin Nether Ghost King. If your clones want to go out for a stroll, I will assign a team of subordinates to clear the way for them!"

"In the upcoming battle against the Yin Nether Ghost King, Sect Leader Chen, please don't hesitate to lend a hand!"

Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord was naturally aware of Chen Dengming's methods.

They knew that this Longevity Sect Leader had the means to contact the Below the Yin Spring, and even infiltrate his power into it.

It's highly likely that the former Undercurrent Old Ghost was the one who helped the Soul-Snatching Ghost King kill him.

Therefore, he both feared Chen Dengming and wanted to use Chen Dengming's power to kill the Yin Nether Ghost King.

This is also why he was willing to cooperate with Zhu Xun and risk leaving the city; otherwise, he wouldn't have remained outside the city to fight the Yin Nether Ghost King for so many years.

Several dozen breaths later.

The White Bone Thousand Soul Chariot rolled away, tightly surrounded by a group of Ghost Soldiers.

The Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord finally left the Ghost City and marched straight ahead, forming a mighty formation to attack the army of the Yinming Ghost City.

Chen Dengming controlled his clone to look into the distance, and saw that in the Styx River ahead, the ghost head flag symbolizing the Starfall Ghost City was fluttering with the water in the distance, with a powerful and imposing aura.

"True Lord! Where should we go next? We can guide you!"

A ghost cultivator with an inverted triangle face, who appeared obsequious and cunning, stepped forward and respectfully inquired.

Chen Dengming glanced indifferently at the group of kids.

It's easy to offend the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with his underlings.

Xingluo was still not completely at ease with him, so he specially arranged for these little devils to follow along with several clones to supervise them.

These little devils must also be connected to Xingluo, as they can directly observe the actions of his clones.

It wasn't time to really make a move yet, so Chen Dengming wasn't in a hurry to deal with these little devils. He controlled his clone and said, "I'm very interested in the deeds of the Ghost Emperor Yuan Below the Yin Spring. Do you know anything about the Ghost Emperor Yuan?"

Mentioning Ghost Emperor Yuan immediately roused the group of little ghosts.

Every cultivator in the Ghost Realm has heard of the legend of Ghost Emperor Yuan, and regards him as a legend, Ghost Emperor Yuan who surpasses even the ethereal and possibly nonexistent Ghost Immortal!

"This Longevity Sect Leader, even sending a clone down, is still determined to find out about the rumors surrounding the Ghost Emperor."

On the other side, Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord, who knew Chen Dengming's intentions through the little ghost, shook his head slightly.

They continued to urge the army of ghost Ghost Soldiers and cultivators ahead to accelerate their march, heading straight for the Yinming Ghost City.

Since he had already decided to leave the city to launch a campaign, the process was, on the surface, simple and brutal.

A massive army of Ghost Soldiers and demon cultivators pressed in, launching a fierce, wave-like attack on the Yin Nether Ghost King under his leadership.

All schemes and calculations will only work the moment the Yin Nether Ghost King reveals himself.

Such a massive commotion had already alarmed numerous ghosts along the Styx River and on land within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, attracting the attention of many powerful ghost cultivators.

Even another Yin Spring Ghost Lord named Mi Luo, tens of thousands of miles away, was alarmed and began to pay attention with suspicion.

In recent years, the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord has been making frequent unusual moves. First, he traded supplies with Outer Domain Evil Cultivator, and then he made a deal with the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, showing an ambitious attitude of wanting to do something big.

Now, the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord has actually taken the initiative to leave the city to attack the Yin Nether Ghost King. This not only shows his ambition but also his great courage, which has made the surrounding Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord somewhat uneasy.

Soon, the great battle that had already attracted the attention of many ghosts was fully underway.

The Starfall Ghost Soldiers and numerous ghost cultivators, led by the three Starfall Ghost Generals, launched wave after wave of frontal attacks on the Yinming Ghost City from all directions, their battle cries shaking the heavens.

This is a clash between the Ghost Cultivator's Grand Array and the Ghost City's Protective Array, a battle of immense scale, entirely fought with the lives of the Ghost Cultivators at stake.

Below the Yin Spring, there is no shortage of ghosts; the competition is all about the strength and resources of each individual.

The Yinming Ghost City Formation was activated, and countless attacks rained down like raindrops. After shattering the Starfall Ghost Soldiers' first offensive, the Starfall Ghost Soldiers regrouped and launched a second, fierce attack.

Chen Dengming remained silent, observing the situation with an unchanging approach.

The Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun was also in position, connected to him telepathically, ready to strike at any moment.

Even though he was quite intelligent and insightful, the sight of the massive army of ghost cultivators pressing in and confronting the Styx River was still quite novel.

The death and shattering of these countless ghosts is like the countless mortals who died in the great battle between cultivators in the Human World. Their lives were as worthless as grass, difficult to live and easy to die.

This continued for four days.

The Yinming Ghost City erupted with a deafening explosion, ultimately falling short of its full potential and being breached by the Starfall Ghost Soldiers.

With a loud bang!

The Water of the Underworld River surged and poured into the city.

Countless vengeful spirits screamed as they soared into the sky, disappearing into the waves of the River Styx.

The Styx River's waves have washed away countless Ghost Soldiers and demons.

If, by some stroke of luck, the true spirit has not dissipated, how many can ultimately be reborn as wandering souls within the River Styx?

Almost at the same time, outside the Yin Cave, Chen Dengming, who had been sitting quietly for several days, suddenly opened his eyes as if he had noticed something.

"Starfall!!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from within the Yinming Ghost City, shattering the waves of the Styx River. A strange, crimson light instantly illuminated the water.

Boom!--

The ghostly energy surged violently, and the temperature plummeted.

A terrifying and violent killing intent broke through the waves, surged upwards, tore apart countless Ghost Soldiers and ghosts, and headed straight for the Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord who sat on the throne among the horde of ghosts!

"Yinming! You've finally come out!"

Starfall Yin Spring Ghost Lord's double pupils lit up like lamps, a sinister smile appeared on his lips, revealing a pair of ghostly fangs.

He suddenly stood up, his ghostly aura spreading out and reaching for miles.

The ghostly aura was connected to the crown on his head, and one could vaguely see sharp, teardrop-shaped swords rapidly gathering at the center of the crown, exuding a chilling aura, surging Sword Qi, and swirling killing intent!

He suddenly took a step forward, heading straight for the Yin Nether Ghost King.

Inside the crown, countless teardrop-shaped flying swords took the lead, transforming into a torrential rain of Sword Qi, scattered like stars, ever-changing, swift as thunder, fast as lightning.

Almost simultaneously, he and the Yin Nether Ghost King transmitted their voices to the Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun, who was already poised to strike.

"Soul-Snatching Ghost King, seize the opportunity I have created for you! Unleash your full power!"

"I will exert all my strength to seize this soul; there must be a flaw in this Netherworld Tea Cup! You should wait for your opportunity!"

In the waves at the edge of the chaotic Battlefield, the Fierce Ghost Zhu Xun grinned maliciously, his mind quickly connecting with Chen Dengming, who was sitting in the Human Heart Hall.

"I've made my choice, Brother Chen. I'm just waiting for your command! I'll strike at any moment to send Xing to his doom!"

"No rush. Since Xingluo has given us the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, let's offer them a cup of tea first."

Human Heart Hall, Chen Dengming responded calmly, refraining from immediately ordering his clones to act, lest he alert the enemy...
