The Might of the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove (No More Today)

A nascent Nascent Soul resembling Qian Xin flew out of the body, but before it had gone far, a white ray of light swept over, enveloping the Nascent Soul and pulling it into the mouth of the Ice Flood Dragon, where it was swallowed.

On the other side, a golden-red spear pierced Wu Shan's chest, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Insect Control Technique!"

A nascent Nascent Soul that looked remarkably like him flew out of his body, and he exclaimed in surprise.

A beam of yellow light descended from the sky, enveloping the Nascent Soul, and was swallowed by the Iron Tail Scorpion.

Shen Long, wielding the Li Fire Staff, smashed it down on a Yellow-Shirted Big Man with a blue face and fangs. The Yellow-Shirted Big Man exuded a foul, putrid stench, and the smell of death filled the air.

The burly Yellow-Shirted Big Man held a long sword that gleamed with yellow light. The sword was three feet long and about an inch wide, and it exuded an astonishing Spiritual Qi.

A beautiful woman in a green dress was fighting Fire Qilin Beast. She also exuded a rotten smell. In her hand, she held a short green Short Blade.

The Dry Sun Seal and the Purple Spider Blade attacked the woman in the green skirt relentlessly, not daring to fight back.

"Come help us! Kill him! This guy's a real cash cow!"

The Yellow-Shirted Big Man gave the order.

The physical body of the Corpse Refining is powerful; he transformed his body into a corpse, but Shen Long's physical body is even stronger.

With a gentle flap of his Black Bat Wings, Wu Yu vanished as a gust of cold wind.

The next moment, a cold wind blew past the Fire Qilin Beast, and Wu Yu appeared.

Just as she was about to cast a spell to attack the Fire Qilin Beast, a sharp, piercing screech rang out, and her head suddenly felt heavy.

Before she could react, a golden-red spear shot towards her, striking Wu Yu's Body-Protecting Spirit Light and producing a muffled thud of metal clashing.

A burst of Golden Flame erupted from the surface of the Gold-Red Long Spear, engulfing Wu Yu's Body-Protecting Spirit Light. At the same time, a tail spike burst from the ground and struck the Body-Protecting Spirit Light Body-Protecting Spirit Light, shattering it instantly.

Wu Yu felt a needle prick in her right leg, and then her internal Qi and Blood rapidly deteriorated.

Her face flushed crimson, and she spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, her face showing an expression of disbelief.

A nascent Nascent Soul resembling Wu Yu flew out of the body, and a beam of azure light descended from the sky, enveloping the nascent Nascent Soul and drawing it into a Cyan Jade Bottle.

"Divine Sense Attack. It seems I'll have to use the Thousand Corpse Formation to take you down."

The Yellow-Shirted Big Man sneered, flicked his sleeve, and a Yellow Small Tower shimmering with spiritual light flew out, instantly expanding in size. A large number of Corpse Refining rushed out of the tower, accompanied by loud wails and howls.

Shen Long looked disdainful, flicked his wrist, and an extremely unpleasant noise rang out as the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove flew out of the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

As soon as the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove appeared, each of its four heads emitted a beam of blue light, heading straight for the Corpse Refining.

Corpse Refining tried to evade, a powerful gravitational force from the ground immobilized them.

Blue light fell on the Corpse Refining, and Green Light Orb flew out of their bodies, only to be drawn into the mouth of the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove and swallowed. The Corpse Refining collapsed to the ground, motionless.

In less than five breaths, over a thousand Corpse Refining were annihilated by the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove.

"Nine-Headed Ghost Dove, you actually possess such a ferocious bird!"

The Yellow-Shirted Big Man was terrified, his expression filled with fear.

The Nine-Headed Ghost Dove is the nemesis of demons and monsters; at the same level, it has no confidence in defeating the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove.

The Yellow-Shirted Big Man roared to the sky, unleashing a Yellow Sound Wave that shot straight towards the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove. He then unleashed a stream of yellow Corpse Fire that hurtled towards Shen Long.

"Corpse Fire! It's as if I don't have Spirit Flame."

Shen Long scoffed, opening his mouth to spew out Green Lotus True Flame to meet the attack.

A series of booming explosions rang out, and blue and yellow flames blazed together.

"Fourth-Order Spirit Flame!"

The Yellow-Shirted Big Man exclaimed in surprise, "They've kicked a hornet's nest!"

Shen Long swung his Li Fire Staff and smashed it down, the heavy shadows of the cudgel crashing down like red mountains.

Just as the Yellow-Shirted Big Man was about to dodge, the ground gravity suddenly increased, and thick, Cyan Vine burst forth from the Yellow-Shirted Big Man, wrapping around his body.

He easily tore off the Cyan Vine, and heavy club shadows came crashing down. He quickly swung his yellow longsword to meet them.

With a muffled clang of metal clashing, the Yellow-Shirted Big Man was sent flying backward. Before he even hit the ground, a Yellow Light Mass detached from his body, was caught in the blue light, and swallowed by the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove.

Even Nascent Soul Realm Corpse King with a powerful physical body is useless against the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove, its Nascent Soul Realm Corpse King.

Having dealt with the Yellow-Shirted Big Man, Shen Long then turned his attention to the woman in the green dress.

Not long after, the woman in the green dress was smashed into a pulp by the Li Fire Staff, and a ball of green light flew out of her body—this was her Essence Soul.

Corpse cultivators do not have Nascent Soul Essence Soul.

Shen Long flashed past, grabbed the cyan light ball, and began searching its soul.

"Just as I thought!"

Shen Long's face showed a look of sudden realization.

These two Corpse Refining came from the Southern Border Cultivation World. They lured several Nascent Soul Cultivator to surrender, making them use the guise of treasure hunting to lure other Nascent Soul Cultivator to Heavenly Sand Ruins to search for treasures and cooperate with them to kill the treasure hunters. More than ten Nascent Soul Cultivator were killed, including Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Sun and Moon Palace Heavenly Sound Sect, Tianyin Shangguan Clan, Shen Clan, and Zhou Clan.

After this battle, Shen Long obtained four Spirit Treasure: the Dry Earth Sword, the Cyan Moon Blade, the Ice Soul Pouch Helmet, and the Moon-Stepping Boat. The Dry Earth Sword and the Cyan Moon Blade are offensive Spirit Treasure treasures, the Ice Soul Pouch Helmet is a treasure for trapping enemies, and the Moon-Stepping Boat is a flying Spirit Treasure.

In addition, there were valuables worth tens of millions, a large quantity of materials for alchemy and weapon crafting, a fourth-order Puppet Beast, two clusters of Corpse Fire, and two Corpse Bead from the Nascent Soul Realm Corpse King.

Corpse Bead are excellent for body tempering. Shen Long had consumed the Corpse Bead of the Golden Core Realm Corpse King in his early years, which continuously improved his physical body. The effects of these two Nascent Soul Realm Corpse King Corpse Bead must be even better.

"Master, can I have some?"

The Nine-Headed Ghost Dove spoke.

With a flick of his wrist, Shen Long sent the Green Light Orb flying, which was then devoured by the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove.

"This is delicious! I feel like I'm not far from the mid-stage of the fourth tier."

"Nine-Headed Ghost Dove said excitedly."

It destroyed the Ghost Creature in the Hundred Ghost Scroll, consumed the Inner Core of several fourth-tier Yin Beast, and has now devoured the Essence Soul of a batch of Corpse Refining, bringing it close to the mid-stage of the fourth tier.

For the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove, demons and monsters are a great tonic.

Shen Long looted the valuables from the enemy corpses, let the Ice Flood Dragon devour the Nascent Soul Cultivator ' bodies, retrieved them into his Spirit Beast Bracelet, and left.

From beginning to end, the Blood Blade Devil Lord's Ascension Cave Abode was a trap. In addition to luring and killing Nascent Soul Cultivator, treasure hunters entering the Heavenly Sand Ruins would be wiped out by the two Corpse Refining territories if they passed by.

······

The Rhinoceros Oasis is located in the southeastern part of the Western Desert, and it is the residence of the Shen Clan.

In the center of the oasis Sky-Supporting Peak a towering, steep mountain. At its foot is a Cyan Stone Stele over a hundred feet tall, inscribed with three large golden characters. "Rhino Mountain," its surface shimmering with spiritual light.

At the top of the mountain was a sprawling manor. Zhou Hualei, Zhou Guangyao, Shen Yushan, and a tall, thin old man in a golden robe sat around Zhang Qing stone table, talking about something.

Zhou Hualei personally led a team to support the Shen Clan, relieving Shen Clan pressure.

"The Thousand Puppet Sect is no match for either of our two families, and they will likely seek help from the Holy Spirit Sect. We must guard against a sneak attack from the Holy Spirit Sect."

The old man in the golden robe said in a deep voice.

Shen Tianhong, the Great Elder of the Shen Clan.

Zhou Hualei nodded and said, "That's natural. I reckon they won't want to continue fighting either. In the end, the ownership of the Turmeric Crystal Mine should be decided by the four of us through a duel."

"Hmph, with Fellow Daoist Zhou's help, we have nothing to fear from them..."

Before Shen Tianhong could finish speaking, a piercing scream came from Shen Yushan's body.

Shen Yushan frowned, took out Communication Disk that was flashing with yellow light, entered a spell, and his expression changed. "It's bad, Ancestor Tianhong, the Thousand Puppet Sect is gone."

"What? What's going on?"

Shen Tianhong asked in confusion.

"A large number of Ghost Creature suddenly rushed out of the Thousand Puppet Sect's territory, including Ghost King at the Nascent Soul Realm stage. They spread outwards, killing many cultivators. It is said that the Thousand Puppet Sect's Great Elder was also killed by Ghost King. A Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Thousand Puppet Sect escaped the calamity and brought the news out, requesting our support."

Shen Yushan said in a heavy tone.

"What's going on! How did a Nascent Soul Realm Ghost King suddenly appear? Able to kill the Great Elder of the Thousand Puppet Sect? Is this Ghost King really that powerful?"

Zhou Hualei asked, puzzled.

"I'm not entirely sure. All I know is that a large number of Ghost Creature have appeared in the Western Desert Cultivation World, causing havoc. If we don't eliminate these Ghost Creature, they will eventually come to kill us."

Shen Yushan frowned and said.

"We'll go check it out immediately, send word to invite high-level cultivators to join us in exterminating the Ghost Creature."

Shen Tianhong gave the instructions.

The Thousand Puppet Sect is one of the four major forces in the Western Desert Cultivation World, yet even they couldn't stop these Ghost Creature. This shows how terrifying these Ghost Creature Ghost Creature are, and we must find a way to eliminate them.

"Yes, Ancestor Tianhong."

Shen Yushan agreed and got up to leave.

A month later, the news spread throughout most of the Western Desert Cultivation World.
