Chapter 572: 252~253: A Turn of Events in the Sect!
Treacherous Leader Xing (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_2 Chapter 572: 252~253: A Turn of Events in the Sect!
Treacherous Leader Xing (Asking for Monthly Tickets)_2 “Oh?
Yin Ghost Sect?”
The Cultivator of Qi Cultivation who was questioning him was taken aback, his gaze instantly becoming apprehensive.
He looked at Chen Dengming and He Yingyu, then warily turned to the uneasy aura emanating from Chu Xun floating next to them, apologized, and immediately turned to report it.
It didn’t take long for the official representative of Foundation Establishment to come and question them personally.
...
As for the Yin Ghost Sect, not many normal cultivators might have heard of it, because the sect has been wiped out for fifty or sixty years already.
However, the border town is next to the Land of Fallen, where small Ghost Cultivators from minor sects often rush in, and even Demon Cultivators from the Western Region’s Soul Devouring Sect used to come.
In the world of Ghost Path sects, Yin Ghost Sect is considered a major sect.
Even though it has long been wiped out, the cultivators who guard this border town have heard of them due to constant exposure.
Chen Dengming takes out the identity Jade Talisman he obtained from Lin He’s relics for inspection.
Luckily, he hadn’t destroyed the Jade Talisman, which now comes in handy.
However, what the investigating cultivator was primarily looking for was the merit tokens issued by Heguan City of the Eastern Region’s alliance, to prevent Demon Cultivators from the Soul Devouring Sect in the Western Region from slipping in again.
“Now that the Four Regions are at war, there were once Demon Cultivators from the Soul Devouring Sect in the Western Region who used to sneak over here, but now there are almost none.
But this has in turn increased our pressure a lot…”
The Foundation Establishment official representative of the Hualong Sect lamented as he returned Chen Dengming’s merit token.
“Oh?”
Chen Dengming was surprised, “Doesn’t the Western Region also have a Land of Fallen, why don’t their cultivators operate in their Land of Fallen?”
The Foundation Establishment representative was also surprised, “Because there are too many people and not enough resources.
The Soul Devouring Sect of the Western Region and a few other Ghost Cultivators sects all want to secure the Land of Fallen of our Four Regions and develop it into a sect base.
However, as the Land of Fallen is very important and cannot afford any mismanagements nor be entirely linked to the interests of some sects, it has never been handed over to these Ghost Cultivator sects.
They will feel that the resources are insufficient when they compete with each other, so some people will go to the Land of Fallen in the other areas of the Four Regions…”
Chen Dengming nodded his head, no longer saying more.
The more one speaks, the more errors are made.
He now understands why the Foundation Establishment Cultivator expressed a great deal of pressure.
In the Land of Fallen, ghosts and evil curses often emerge to wreak havoc.
This requires the Cultivators who guard this place to take action to resolve the problem – they even have to regularly enter the Land of Fallen to eliminate some ghosts and evil curses.
There used to be cultivators from the Soul Devouring Sect who came to catch ghosts, which could be considered as easing the workload of the local guardian cultivators, who would turn a blind eye.
But now that the Four Regions are at war, cultivators from the Soul Devouring Sect in the Western Regions won’t come anymore.
If they dare to come, they would be considered walking feats of merit.
…
After the two of them entered the city low-key, their unfamiliar faces and clothes attracted the attention of some of the regular cultivators in the city.
However, although some people eagerly wanted to go forward and offer themselves as guides for a fee, they seemed unsure about approaching.
Those who often hang around in border towns are shrewd cultivators.
At a glance, they could tell that Chen Dengming and his companion were strong, not just ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The key was that there was also a wicked-looking ghost with a face full of horizontal flesh and copper-bell-like eyes following them.
Obviously, he was a Ghost Cultivator.
No one approached them for the moment.
The most outrageous tactic of Ghost Cultivators is to kill their enemies and then torment their souls, or make them serve them.
Therefore, in the Cultivation World, Ghost Cultivators must be marked as being not good.
Chen Dengming and He Yingyu strolled around the outskirts of the border city, then flew low and headed straight for the inner city area carved out by various groups in the hills.
The inner city is the most prosperous and rich in Spiritual Energy, built on three-level Spiritual Veins.
There are many cultivators here.
Many cultivators choose to stay here permanently, attracted by the three-level Spiritual Veins of the border city and the relatively affordable rent.
Chen Dengming had originally thought after leaving the longevity peak of the Longevity Sect with its four-level Spiritual Veins, cultivation outside would lack high-quality resources of Spiritual Vein.
But now that there are three-level Spiritual Veins in the border city, he is quite satisfied.
At least in the short term, the speed of cultivation will not drop too much.

After paying the city entry fee of fifty inferior Spirit Crystals, they selected a secluded large courtyard in the Affairs Room Steward in the city and paid a hundred superior Spirit Crystals to rent it for half a year.
The sharp-eyed old cultivator who was in charge of renting out the rooms also tactfully reminded them, “Sir, you are a Ghost Cultivator; I won’t say too much about it, but according to tradition, I must still remind you.
Living in our border city, strange and creepy events may occur at any time.
You, sir, are an expert in this area.
This old man is just reminding you, you should understand.”
Chen Dengming was surprised.
He wanted to ask what kind of creepy incidents might occur.
But considering that he had to maintain his current Ghost Cultivator identity, he just nodded casually, indicating that he understood.
After leaving the steward’s office, Chen Dengming muttered to himself, “Is it haunted?
Cultivators are not afraid of being haunted, are they?
I knew I was going to come here a dozen days ago, so I have prepared some Exorcism Talisman and Charms.”
He Yingyu gave him a blank look, “You haven’t used the Mirror of heart- piercing illusion that I refined for you for a long time, have you?
Have you forgotten your original intention?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming grinned, “How dare I.”
The two of them walked and talked, and quickly flew low to their rented residence.
“Being away from the sect, even living expenses are high.
It’s always better in the sect.”
Chen Dengming activated the Courtyard Token, opened the Formation, entered the newly rented courtyard, looked at the rental token in his hand, and then glanced at He Yingyu who was cleaning with magic spells.
Usually his Senior Sister is elegant and attractive, and the water she uses for her night bath is the Spiritual Spring water from the sect.
But now she has to disguise herself and share this hardship in this small courtyard, which made him can’t help but sigh.
