Chen Dengming controlled his incarnation to gaze into the distance and saw the flag with the Ghost Head emblem symbolizing Starfall Ghost City fluttering in the waves of the Underworld River far ahead, its presence commanding and intimidating.
“True Monarch Chen!
Where shall we head next?
We are ready to guide you!”
A Ghost Cultivator with a triangular face, looking obsequious and cunning, stepped forward to respectfully inquire.
Chen Dengming casually glanced at the group of little ghosts with a hint of indifference.
...
It is easier to provoke the King of Hell than to fend off the pestering of little ghosts.
Starfall still had not entirely trusted him, deliberately arranging for these little ghosts to follow the sides of his incarnations, responsible for surveillance.
This group of little ghosts must also be connected to Starfall, able to directly observe every move of his several incarnations.
It wasn’t yet time to reveal his hand, so Chen Dengming was not in a hurry to deal with these little ghosts.
He controlled an incarnation to say, “I am quite interested in the deeds of the Ghost Emperor’s domain beneath the Nether Spring.
Do you know the stories of the Ghost Emperor’s domain?”
Upon mention of the Ghost Emperor’s domain, the crowd of little ghosts immediately perked up.
Every Ghost Shade Cultivator had heard the legends of the Ghost Emperor’s domain; to them, it was a myth greater than the elusive and possibly nonexistent Ghost Immortals—a sovereign emperor of myriad ghosts!
“This Longevity Sect Leader sends down incarnations to even inquire about rumors of the Ghost Emperor! truly persistent.”
Elsewhere, having learned of Chen Dengming’s intentions through the little ghosts, Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch shook his head slightly.
He continued to urge the legion of Ghost Cultivators and soul soldiers ahead to quicken their march, charging directly towards the Ghost City of Yinming.
He had decided to lead a campaign outside the city; the apparent strategy was straightforward and brute in nature.

Under his leadership, the vast army of Ghost Cultivators descended upon the Ghost King of Yinming with an onslaught as fierce as tidal waves.
All the schemes and calculations would only take effect at the moment the Ghost King of Yinming appeared.
Such a huge commotion had long alerted numerous Ghost Creatures in the lands within ten thousand miles of the Underworld River and attracted the gaze of many powerful Ghost Cultivators.
Even another Infernal Ghost Monarch named Biluo, tens of thousands of miles away, was startled and began to watch with speculation and unease.
Over the years, Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch had become increasingly active, first trading supplies with Outer Realm Evil Cultivators and then dealing with the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, all with the ambitious posture of someone planning a great endeavor.
Now, Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch had taken the initiative to lead an expedition to subdue the Ghost King of Yinming.
This was an act not only of ambition but also of extraordinary courage, causing the neighboring Biluo Nether Spring Ghost Monarch to grow increasingly restless.
Soon, the campaign that had attracted the attention of many Ghost Creatures officially erupted into battle.
The Starfall soul soldiers and various Ghost Cultivators, under the command of the three great Starfall Ghost Generals, launched wave after wave of frontal assaults on the Ghost City of Yinming from all directions, their war cries shaking the heavens.
This was a clash between the Ghost Cultivator’s formation and the City Defense Formation of the Ghost City, a grand spectacle where lives were spent like water.
Beneath the Nether Spring, what there was no lack of was Ghost Creatures; what was being contested was the depth of each side’s forces.
The formation of Ghost City of Yinming activated, releasing countless attacks like raindrops, shattering Starfall’s first offensive wave.
Then the Starfall soul soldiers reassembled ranks for a second ferocious attack.
Chen Dengming watched the battle in silence, poised for any eventuality.
The ferocious ghost Chu Xun was also in position, connected to him in spirit, ready to strike at any moment.
Even with his intelligence and experience, facing this great army of Ghost Cultivators besieging the Underworld River was an entirely novel sight.
The numerous deaths and disintegrations of these Ghost Creatures were like the countless mortals who perished in the battles among cultivators of the mortal world—lives as trivial as grass, living not easy, dying all too readily.
…
Four days passed in this manner.
A deafening explosion resonated from Ghost City of Yinming, and, ultimately showing lesser stamina, it was breached by the Starfall soul soldiers.
A thunderous roar!
The waters of the Underworld River surged in, flooding the city.
Countless perishing Ghost Creatures screamed as they ascended to the sky, dissolving amongst the spray of the Underworld River waves.
The waves of the Underworld River washed away everything—how many soul soldiers and Ghost Creatures?
If by chance any true spirits survived, how many could then reshape their soul ghosts within the river?
Almost at the same time, outside the Nether Cave, Chen Dengming, who had been in meditative silence for days, seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes.
“Starfall!!”
A thunderous roar burst from within Ghost City of Yinming, the waves of the Underworld River shuddered and split, and a ball of crimson, eerie light instantly brightened the waters.
Boom!—
Ghost Qi violently stirred, and temperatures plummeted.
A terrifying and ferocious killing intent broke through the waves, shot upwards, tearing apart countless soul soldiers and Ghost Creatures, and bore down on the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch enthroned amid the army of myriads of ghosts!
“Yinming!
You’ve finally deigned to show yourself!”
Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch’s eyes lit up like lamps, a sinister smile on his face, as he revealed his ghostly fangs.
He suddenly rose to his full height, Ghost Qi wafting from his body, spreading a hundred miles.
Streams of Ghost Qi connected to the crown above his head, where, if one looked closely, one could see numerous sharp, droplet-shaped swords gathering quickly at the center of the crown, the aura bitterly cold, Sword Qi surging, intertwined with the intent to kill!
He took a sudden step forward, aiming straight for the Ghost King of Yinming.
The droplet-shaped swords within the crown led the assault, transforming into a rainstorm of Sword Qi, twinkling in and out of existence, as swift as thunder, as fast as lightning.
At the same moment, he and the Ghost King of Yinming communicated telepathically with the ferocious ghost Chu Xun, who had been ready to strike.
“Soul Fetching Ghost King, seize the opportunity I have created for you!
Use all your strength!”
“I will strike with all my might, Soul Fetching.
Yinming will have a moment of weakness within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!
Watch for your chance!”
In the waves on the edge of the chaotic battlefield, the ferocious ghost Chu Xun grinned viciously, his thoughts quickly linking with Chen Dengming, who presided within the Hall of Human Heart.
“I am ready, Brother Chen, just waiting for your command!
Ready to strike and send Starfall to his demise!”
“There’s no hurry.
Since Starfall has given us the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, let’s first pay them the respect of such a cup.”
Inside the Hall of Human Heart, Chen Dengming responded calmly, not immediately ordering his several incarnations to act so as not to alert the enemy!
