Chapter 1057: 421: Ghost Monarch Submits!
Half of Ghost City, Priority Choice for the Red Spider Lily_2 Chapter 1057: 421: Ghost Monarch Submits!
Half of Ghost City, Priority Choice for the Red Spider Lily_2 “Within the Ghost City…” Chen Dengming nodded slightly, having anticipated this.
However, he hadn’t expected that he was intending to find the Bi An Flower to see if this legendary treasure could solve the fifth Dao’s Intention of the Hall of Human Heart.
And now the Bi An Flower had appeared so quickly, moreover in the hands of his captive, the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch.
The Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch added, “Before this, the Yinming Old Ghost had already organized the Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Cultivators to attack my Starfall Ghost City.
If the power of the Evil Thought Ghost Puppet weakens due to the Bi An Flower, it’s very likely that Starfall Ghost City will also fall, and then the Bi An Flower might…”
“Hmm…” Chen Dengming pondered and nodded, glancing indifferently at the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch, and said, “Now that you have become a Ghost Infant and lost your original body, recovery is not an overnight matter.
...
Stay by my side as a little ghost and answer some of my questions.”
In his heart, the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch felt bitterness, but now that he was the defeated party, he truly accepted his fate and immediately bowed to indicate his submission.
Chen Dengming’s eyes shifted, and his spirit had already begun to reestablish contact with his Incense Fire Incarnation and the Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun.
…
At this very moment.
Near the Ghost City of Yinming beneath the Nether Spring, the chaotic and murky battlefield of the Underworld River had fallen into a brief period of eerie silence and oppressive atmosphere due to the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch’s mysterious disappearance.
The formidable Divine Thoughts of both the Ghost Monarch of Yinming and the Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun were searching throughout the battlefield at the same time.
But all they saw was the reddish-yellow muddy water of the river, churning with silt, raising thousands of whirlpools, creating a mess everywhere.
Only a weighty Ghost King Armor was left sinking into the mud, and scattered around were the Ghost King’s flying swords, but there was no sign of the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch.
The Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun in fact sensed something was wrong the instant he lost the aura of the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch.
For his spirit had also lost the formidable heart-mind power infused by Chen Dengming, and even after repeated attempts at contact to no avail, a sense of foreboding arose from the depths of his heart.
If not for the presence of Brother Chen’s Incarnation that had merged with the Underworld River still emanating an extremely formidable aura to deter, he would have thought something untoward had befallen Brother Chen.
However, as time passed and dozens of breaths went by with no trace of either the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch or Brother Chen, Chu Xun’s premonition of doom grew increasingly strong.
He immediately took out a Jade Talisman for Message Transmission and contacted the two Ghost Ladies.
“Both of you, have you found that soul piece of Elder Array Spirit?
Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
If you have found it, withdraw immediately and make your way back home.”
Almost at the same time, the Ghost King of Yinming, also sensing something amiss, stopped in the tumultuous waters of the Underworld River.
“The protective ghost array of Starfall Ghost City has suddenly greatly weakened in might?
Is it requesting reinforcements to capture the city in one fell swoop?”
The Ghost King of Yinming withdrew his Jade Talisman with suspicion, his expression unsettled.
He first cast a wary glance at the Incense Fire Incarnation, then swept his gaze over the Ghost King Armor buried in the mud, and finally turned to the Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun, communicating coldly.
“Soul Fetching Ghost King, what’s the situation now?
It seems that just a moment ago Starfall executed some formidable skill and then vanished without a trace.
And the mysterious powerhouse who was collaborating with you earlier?”
The Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun’s ghostly eyes narrowed, his heart sinking further.
It seemed that the worst-case scenario had occurred.
If something had happened to Brother Chen, or if he and Starfall Old Ghost had perished together, then the one profiting would not be him but likely just the Yinming Old Ghost.
With his current strength, he was still not able to contend with the Yinming Old Ghost.
With Brother Chen’s status unclear, even Brother Chen’s Incense Fire Incarnation’s combat power was questionable.
The Ghost King of Yinming, as shrewd as ever and not blindly foolish, caught the nuances in Chu Xun’s minute actions and gaze, forming speculations in his heart right away.
His ghostly pupil swept over the Incense Fire Incarnation, which had turned around with a massive surge, and his expression turned from wariness to a cold determination, ready to speak.
“Soul Fetching Ghost King, it appears that the mysterious powerhouse you invited has fallen into some treacherous secret technique of the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch.
I fear his current state is dire, isn’t it?”
The Ferocious Ghost Chu Xun responded coldly, “Ghost King of Yinming, are you delighting in others’ misfortune?
If something happens to my Brother Chen and the Starfall Old Ghost remains unscathed, then the trouble will be upon us.”
“Hahaha——”
The Ghost King of Yinming suddenly threw back his head and laughed, his laughter so resounding that it shook the surrounding water currents, creating fierce and turbulent collisions and tremors.
As his laughter ceased, he abruptly looked around with his ghostly eyes and said, “Starfall’s Ghost King Crown has shattered, and his Ghost King Armor has been abandoned here.
Even if he’s not dead, he must have suffered heavy injuries this time; he’s not worth worrying about.”
His ghostly eyes suddenly locked onto the Incense Fire Incarnation composed of a great amount of Underworld River Water, the wariness in the depths of his eyes gradually turning cold.
He was about to open his mouth.
Suddenly, an oppressive and terrifying pressure spread out and enveloped the area.
The Ghost King of Yinming was immediately alarmed, feeling a strong sense of threat that firmly locked onto his spirit and divine soul.
His ghostly pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked fiercely at the ferocious ghost Chu Xun.
He then met the icy silver radiance emanating from Chu Xun’s eyes.
In the instant their eyes met, the Ghost King of Yinming’s spirit trembled violently, a sensation as if his heart was being torn in two overwhelmed him, and his mind was bombarded with an incredible vision of the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch submitting to a pair of silver eyes.
“No…
this, this is impossible!”
The Ghost King of Yinming roared incredulously in his heart and quickly gathered his spirit to resist.
But at that moment, the heart-palpitating silver eyes gradually faded from the depths of his spirit.
A cold yet majestic voice echoed quietly within his spirit.
“Yinming!
It is true that Starfall is now too weak to concern us; he has lost.
According to the agreement you made with the Soul Fetching Ghost King, once you take down Starfall Ghost City, each of you will take half!”
The Ghost King of Yinming was stunned for a moment, then his eyes filled with suspicion and wariness as he looked at Chu Xun, whose eyes had returned to normal, frowning as he transmitted his thoughts.
“Is the Starfall Old Ghost dead now?
How did you do it?”
The voice of Chen Dengming’s spirit transmitted again, “It doesn’t matter if he’s dead or alive.
All you need to know is that he can no longer interfere with your conquest of Starfall Ghost City.
However, I have a condition!”
“A condition?” The Ghost King of Yinming’s frown deepened.
At this moment, Chu Xun was both shocked and delighted, not expecting the Starfall Old Ghost to die just like that, while Brother Chen returned unharmed.
At the same time, he birthed a new worry.
Had Brother Chen also been injured?
Otherwise, with the strength just displayed, despite the prior agreement, there wouldn’t be a need to discuss any agreements.
In the Nether Spring’s law of the survival of the fittest, wouldn’t it be better to simply eliminate the Ghost King of Yinming and monopolize the entire Starfall Ghost City and Ghost City of Yinming?
Just then, Chen Dengming, perceiving his thoughts, transmitted a message into his spirit.
“Old Zhu, have you forgotten what I once taught you?
A tall tree catches the wind.
With your current strength, even if I leave an Incense Fire Incarnation in the Nether Spring to aid you, you cannot take both the immense legacy of the Ghost City of Yinming and Starfall Ghost City at once.
It would certainly attract attacks from other Ghost Kings and even Ghost Monarchs.”
The ferocious ghost Chu Xun’s heart shifted, and he quickly calmed down, suppressing his greed, and gratefully transmitted his spirit.
“Brother Chen, you are right.
I, the big oaf, truly have a short memory, only looking at immediate benefits.
When there’s so much juicy meat in front of me, I can hardly wait to devour it all immediately, without worrying if I can digest it, fearing that it might fall into someone else’s hands.”
“No rush, no rush!
Sooner or later it will all be yours.
For now, keeping Yinming is like a shield for you.
When you grow stronger, you can take his share of power at any time.”
The ferocious ghost Chu Xun was sincerely convinced.
Just then, the Ghost King of Yinming also finished pondering and asked hesitantly, “What are your conditions?”
Chen Dengming transmitted his thought, “Once we enter the Ghost City, the Soul Fetching Ghost King will go in first to choose the spoils of war.
You must wait outside.”
The Ghost King of Yinming’s ghostly pupils suddenly emitted a frightening light, and an incredibly strong aura erupted from him as he sneered.
“Why should I?”
Chen Dengming remained extremely calm, “Because you only exerted twenty percent of your strength in subduing Starfall, whereas I have not only subdued the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch but also rescued you before.”
Gentle as flowing water, yet capable of penetrating stone and splitting gold, Chen Dengming’s voice was calm, but it carried the powerful pressure that had subdued the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch, making the Ghost King of Yinming’s heart turn cold.
This Ghost King couldn’t help but consider the possibility that Chen Dengming might have been gravely injured, now bluffing, but he did not dare to gamble.
If the other party was not bluffing, or still had the strength to fight to the death, then he too would pay the price for excessive greed, just like the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch…
