Huang Ziqi

Green Ape Mountain, the ancestral home of the Chen family.

In a Cyan Pavilion, Shen Long sat in the main seat, while Chu Buyu sat beside him, the two of them talking.

"So that's how it is. Senior Sister Lin was killed by the Corpse King. No wonder we couldn't find the real culprit."

Chu Buyu's face showed a look of sudden realization, and he said.

After leaving the Zhou Clan, they investigated and learned that the murdered senior sister had been to the Chen family. They went to visit the Chen family, but unfortunately encountered Ghost Creature attacking the Chen family.

"Fairy Chu, these are Madam Lin's belongings. Take them back and report!"

Shen Long took out a Golden Storage Bracelet and handed it to Chu Buyu.

Chu Buyu accepted the Storage Bracelet, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen."

"It's nothing. By the way, Fairy Chu, I'd like to ask you to help me refine a set of treasures, and as payment, a bottle of Seven-Star Spirit Nourishing Pill. How about it?"

Shen Long spoke.

He wanted Chu Buyu to refine the Fourth-Order Thunder-Guiding Bead and Thunder-Absorbing Bead into treasures to enhance his own strength.

"A complete set of treasures? How many pieces are there?"

Chu Buyu asked.

A complete set of treasures is more powerful; the more treasures you have, the longer it takes to forge them, and the more difficult it becomes.

"Two items."

Shen Long flipped his right hand, and a beautiful golden jade box appeared in his hand, which he handed to Chu Buyu.

Chu Buyu opened the jade box and saw two round beads inside.

"A fourth-tier Thunder-Absorbing Bead and Thunder-Guiding Bead? Fellow Daoist Shen's abilities are quite impressive!"

Chu Buyu exclaimed in surprise, his face full of envy.

"It was just luck. What other materials do you need, Fairy Chu? Please just name your name."

Shen Long said.

"These two beads are enough. You've done me a great favor by entrusting me with Senior Sister Lin's belongings. I'll provide the remaining materials myself. I need some time to refine them, and I don't have that time right now."

Chu Buyu said.

"Alright then! Fairy Chu, you can refine it when you have time, and then give it to me."

Shen Long said.

"Fellow Daoist Shen trusts me that much!"

Chu Buyu was somewhat surprised.

"Does Fairy Chu not believe in herself?"

Shen Long smiled slightly and joked.

"Of course I believe in myself, it's settled then."

Chu Buyu agreed.

Shen Long took out a Red Communication Disk that shimmered with spiritual light, and cast a spell. Chen Haoming's voice rang out. "Fellow Daoist Shen, please come to the Council Hall. Senior Huang has arrived and has something to say to us."

"Okay, we'll be right there."

Shen Long agreed and put away the Communication Disk.

"Senior Huang has actually come to the Chen family. It seems that Senior Huang has a good relationship with the Chen family."

Chu Buyu asked in surprise.

Shen Long nodded and went to the Council Hall with Chu Buyu. Ye Lin, Xu Xin, and others were already there.

After a while, a tall, thin Yellow-Robed Elder Yellow-Robed Elder robe walked in, and Chen Haoming followed behind him.

The Yellow-Robed Elder had a fair complexion and an unfathomable aura.

"Greetings, Senior Huang."

Shen Long and the others bowed and said in unison.

Huang Ziqi went to the main seat and sat down.

"I didn't expect that something would happen at the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound so soon after I returned to the Western Desert Cultivation World. Fortunately, the Chen family was unharmed. Young Friend Chen told me that we owe a great debt to you all for your help this time, especially Young Friend Mu and Little Friend Shen."

Huang Ziqi spoke, his voice gentle.

"When I arrived, Fellow Daoist Shen and the others had already rescued Daoist Chen. I have no merit to speak of."

Mu Xue said modestly.

"Senior Huang, you flatter me. Even if Madam Mu hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have stood by and watched the Ghost Creature harm people. It's what I should do."

Shen Long said.

"Young friend Chen, why don't you tell them about the situation at the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound?"

Huang Ziqi gave the instructions.

Chen Haoming nodded and said, "We contacted Fellow Daoist Xu of the Holy Spirit Sect using Large Communication Array and learned quite a bit of information. The Ten Thousand Ghost Mound is on the territory of the Thousand Puppet Sect. The Thousand Puppet Sect's General Headquarters was breached by Ghost Creature, and only one Nascent Soul Cultivator escaped. The Great Elder of the Shen Clan and Zhou Clan took action to kill the Nascent Soul Realm Ghost Creature, with significant results. However, a large number of Ghost Creature are still scattered in various places causing trouble. The Shen Clan and Zhou Clan families, together with the Holy Spirit Sect, have jointly issued a notice inviting high-level cultivators to go and exterminate the ghosts."

"The Thousand Puppet Sect's General Headquarters has been breached by Ghost Creature? Are they really that powerful?"

Ye Lin asked in surprise.

"There are ten Nascent Soul Realm Ghost Creature, led by Nascent Soul Late Stage stage Ghost King. It possesses Spirit Treasure and has powerful Divine Ability abilities, so it should not be underestimated. Even with Fellow Daoist Zhou and Fellow Daoist Shen joining forces, they only managed to injure the Ghost King, which escaped and disappeared without a trace. There are even more Ghost Creature in the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound."

Chen Haoming explained.

"Ghost King in the Nascent Soul Late Stage? And Spirit Treasure? Where did they get the Spirit Treasure? Fellow Daoist Shen and Fellow Daoist Zhou are both Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, and they only injured the Ghost King?"

Chu Buyu raised a question.

"We don't know how the Ghost King obtained the Spirit Treasure. Strictly speaking, it's a ghost cultivator with self-awareness, capable of refining Spirit Treasure, and skilled in concealment. The Great Elder of the Thousand Puppet Sect was ambushed by Ghost King, which led to his death and the dissipation of his cultivation. The Ghost King's whereabouts are unknown; he may have escaped back to the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound."

Chen Haoming said.

Ghost cultivators and Ghost Creature are two different concepts, just like Demon Cultivator and Demon Beast. The former have Cultivation Method that are highly efficient and can activate treasures, Formation, and Talisman, while the latter rely on instinct to fight and cannot activate treasures or Formation.

"Senior Huang, what should we do next?"

Shen Long asked politely.

"I will personally lead the extermination of the Ghost Creature in the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound. You are responsible for eliminating the fleeing Ghost Creature to prevent them from harming the human world. Young Friend Chen has made arrangements, so just follow his instructions. This concerns the safety of the Western Desert Cultivation World and even the entire Gan Yang Realm. You must go all out and not be perfunctory. Otherwise, I will not let you off lightly. Those who make great contributions will be richly rewarded."

Huang Ziqi's face was filled with a murderous aura.

"Yes, Senior Huang."

Shen Long and the others readily agreed, their expressions respectful.

Since even Spirit Transformation cultivators have stepped forward, they naturally dare not be perfunctory.

"I contacted Fellow Daoist Shen, Zhou, and Fellow Daoist Lin using Large Communication Array. We've discussed setting up multiple encirclements and conducting a comprehensive search for Ghost Creature. If any place encounters danger, we'll provide immediate support. This will compress the Ghost Creature ' living space. Senior Huang will deal with the Ghost Creature in the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound. With this two-pronged approach, we'll strive to eradicate these Ghost Creature."

Chen Haoming said.

He took out a huge Cyan Beast Hide, with writing markings in many places.

He pointed to the map and assigned tasks to each cultivator. Shen Long, Chu Buyu, Ye Lin, Mu Xue, and Xu Xin were assigned to the same patrol team, responsible for stationing themselves in Green Lotus Marketplace. Green Lotus Marketplace served as their command center, governing a specific area and directing cultivators to exterminate Ghost Creature. If any Nascent Soul Realm Ghost Creature appeared in Green Lotus Marketplace's jurisdiction, Shen Long and the other four would Ghost Creature Nascent Soul Realm.

Green Lotus Marketplace has nine strongholds under its jurisdiction, each with several Core Formation Cultivator stationed there. Together with Shen Long and his four companions, the nine strongholds govern a large area.

In simple terms, it involves dividing the Western Desert Cultivation World into multiple regions, each with numerous outposts. These outposts form a vast network to eradicate Ghost Creature.

Shen Long and his group of five are each responsible for a specific area, giving them considerable autonomy. They can leverage the power of cultivators within their jurisdiction to gather cultivation resources, which is one of their hidden perks.

"Thank you all for your hard work this time."

Chen Haoming said in a deep voice.

"Daoist Chen, you're too kind. It's our duty as cultivators to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path."

Ye Lin said with a smile.

The Western Desert Cultivation World is so vast. They just dealt with four Nascent Soul Realm stage Ghost Creature; there's no way more Nascent Soul Realm Ghost Creature would come after them!

"I'll leave this place to you. I'm going to the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound to exterminate the Ghost Creature there."

Huang Ziqi gave the order and then transformed into a streak of Escape Light and departed.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, Fellow Daoist Ye, Daoist Xu, now that you've appeared, let's head over to Green Lotus Marketplace! Let's hope to eliminate these Ghost Creature as soon as possible."

Mu Xue said that she and Shen Long other three left the Chen family and headed to Green Lotus Marketplace.

The Holy Spirit Sect, the Shen Clan, and the Zhou Clan joined forces to assign tasks, and none of the other forces dared to disobey, obediently following orders. As a result, the power of Human Race cultivators was integrated, the efficiency of cultivators in eliminating Ghost Creature increased rapidly, and the casualties of the other forces were reduced. This strategy gained the support of the majority of cultivators, and the orders of the three major forces were executed more thoroughly, resulting in a continuous decrease in the number of Ghost Creature.
