Famed Throughout the Western Desert

Upon seeing the Mysterious Yin Staff, Zhou Hualei and the other six had no more doubts and their faces showed admiration.

"Fellow Daoist Shen's Daoist arts are profound; you finally managed to destroy the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother. Otherwise, who knows how many more cultivators would have been killed."

Zhou Hualei praised, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Back then, he and Shen Tianhong joined forces to deal with the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother was proficient in the art of concealment, and they were unable to track her Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother, which is why they failed to destroy Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother. In any case, Shen Long's solo defeat of the Xuan Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother demonstrates that he already possesses the combat power of Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator.

"The Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother? I've never heard of her before."

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"She had been active in the Southern Border Cultivation World, rarely appearing in public. After being injured by Master Xinzhi, she fled to the Western Desert Cultivation World. No one knows how she cultivated to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, causing harm to the region. Finally, she was brought to justice."

Zhou Hualei explained.

"Fellow Daoist Shen's Divine Ability are truly remarkable. I admire your ability to single-handedly destroy the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother. If it weren't for your Fellow Daoist Shen, I would already be dead."

Ye Lin expressed his gratitude.

"It was nothing, Fellow Daoist Ye, you flatter me."

Shen Long said modestly.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, let's go back to the Marketplace and talk!"

Zhou Hualei said politely.

Previously, he only treated Shen Long as a fourth-level Alchemist, but now Zhou Hualei treats Shen Long as a great cultivator.

Shen Long put away the fourth-tier Puppet Beast and the Mysterious Yin Staff, and returned to the Marketplace with Zhou Hualei and the others.

News of this battle spread rapidly, and Shen Long's name became known throughout the entire Western Desert Cultivation World, greatly increasing his fame.

······

In the North Sea Cultivation World, on a Desolate Island about a hundred miles in size.

Lin Feng, Su Ying, and Su Sheng stood atop a high peak, their expressions solemn.

After a while, a Golden Escape Light appeared in the distant sky. It stopped with a flash, revealing a shimmering golden Flying Shuttle. Song Lianyue, Liu Yuyao, and a tall, thin man in a golden robe stood on it.

The man in the golden robe made a hand seal, and the Golden Flying Shuttle landed on the ground, not far from Lin Feng and his companions.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, Madam Song, you've finally arrived."

Lin Feng spoke up.

The affiliated forces of the Sun and Moon Palace and the Heaven Ghost Sect clashed violently. Similar situations had occurred many times before, but this time something was amiss. The affiliated forces of both major powers were massacred. Initially, they suspected that the other side's Nascent Soul Cultivator were behind the attack, and the scale of the battle continued to escalate.

After years of fighting, the combined number of Nascent Soul Cultivator lost by both sides exceeded ten, most of whom were killed by unknown cultivators. This was not normal, so the higher-ups of both sides agreed to hold talks here.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you sent people to kill Nascent Soul Cultivator from our affiliated forces. Are you trying to escalate the war? Do you really think we're afraid of you?"

The man in the gold shirt said coldly.

Zhao Yang, Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, is the master of the Sun and Moon Palace Sun Palace.

"Hmph, don't try to pin all the blame on us. We didn't send anyone to deal with the Nascent Soul Cultivator from your affiliated forces; it's you who sent people to do it."

Lin Feng snorted coldly and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't jump to conclusions; we didn't do anything like that."

Song Lianyue retorted.

"I swear by my Inner Demon, do you?"

Lin Feng said in a deep voice that he had not done it, and naturally dared to swear on his Inner Demon.

"I swear on my Inner Demon that I did not send any Nascent Soul Cultivator to deal with the Nascent Soul Cultivator of your affiliated forces."

Song Lianyue said solemnly.

"That means someone is stirring up trouble, hoping we both suffer losses so they can reap the benefits!"

A cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

If the Sun and Moon Palace and the Heaven Ghost Sect fight to the death, their opposing forces will benefit.

"That should be the case. In any case, let's stop the fighting for now! Continuing to fight will not benefit either of us."

Zhao Yang suggested.

What started as a minor disturbance escalated into such a large loss because someone fanned the flames.

"I have no objection. Keep your people in check. If I discover that Nascent Soul Cultivator from your Sun and Moon Palace have made a move, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lin Feng's face was filled with murderous intent.

"Same here, that's what we're saying too."

Song Lianyue said with a cold face.

"It's settled then, goodbye."

Zhao Yang made a hand seal, Golden Flying Shuttle shone with a dazzling golden light, flying into the sky and quickly disappearing from sight.

"Let's go back too! If I find out who did it, I'll make sure they tear his soul apart and refine it."

Lin Feng's tone was icy.

Su Ying summoned a flying boat that shimmered with black light, carrying the three of them away from there.

Not long after, the Sun and Moon Palace and the Heaven Ghost Sect's affiliated forces ceased hostilities, and both sides restrained their respective cultivators.

······

In the Western Desert Cultivation World, in the Green Lotus Marketplace, a Quiet Manor, more than twenty Nascent Soul Cultivator, including Shen Long, Mu Xue, Shen Tianhong, and Ye Lin, gathered in a Cyan Stone Pavilion, enjoying tea and chatting.

After a thorough search, all the high-level Ghost Creature were defeated and the entrance to the Ten Thousand Ghost Mound was sealed. The Western Desert Cultivation World returned to normal, and high-level cultivators like Shen Long were able to move freely.

Shen Long single-handedly annihilated the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother, greatly increasing his reputation and making him famous throughout the Western Desert. Many Nascent Soul Cultivator came to Shen Long seeking friendship.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, if I may ask, how did you pinpoint the location of the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother? I fought her before, but I couldn't track her, which is why she escaped."

Shen Tianhong asked curiously.

"It just so happens that I had a Spirit Treasure on me that could track her movements, which is how I found her location and was able to kill her."

Shen Long made up an excuse.

In fact, it was the Nine-Headed Ghost Dove that sensed the location of the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother and told Shen Long.

"Even if we can pinpoint the location of the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother, her Divine Ability are considerable, and she also possesses Spirit Treasure. Fellow Daoist Shen's ability to annihilate the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother demonstrates extraordinary strength; she is truly a role model for us cultivators."

Ye Lin praised.

"Yes! Fellow Daoist Shen has cultivated to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage at such a young age. Perhaps many years later, when we meet again, we will have to address him as Senior Shen."

Mu Xue echoed.

"Fellow Daoists, you flatter me. The Spirit Transformation stage is too far beyond my reach. I'll wait until I reach the Nascent Soul Great Perfection."

Shen Long said modestly.

After chatting for half an hour, the cultivators gradually left.

Back at his residence, Shen Long entered a secret room, flicked his sleeve, and a large pile of things appeared on the floor.

After killing the Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother, Shen Long obtained two Spirit Treasure: the Mysterious Yin Staff and the Mysterious Sound Lock. The Mysterious Yin Staff is an offensive treasure, while the Mysterious Sound Lock can weaken Musical Rhythm attacks.

Mysterious Yin Ghost Mother killed many Nascent Soul Cultivator. Many of these Nascent Soul Cultivator possessed Spirit Treasure, but unfortunately, they were destroyed in the battle. In addition to two Spirit Treasure, there were also valuables worth tens of millions, as well as thirty-five pieces of materials for refining Spirit Treasure, a lot of fourth-order refining materials, more than a hundred fourth-order Demon Core cores, and no less than a hundred Millennial Spirit Herb. Most of these things came from the Thousand Puppet Sect.

Shen Long sorted and put away the items on the ground. He planned to return to the East Hua Cultivation World to Secluded Cultivation for a period of time and hone his Law Power.

After leaving the Marketplace, Shen Long transformed into a Escape Light and vanished into the distance, leaving the area behind.
