The contests between Nascent Soul True Monarchs, even if merely a friendly sparring, and especially on the level of Mind & Divine Sense, were never small affairs but could be even more perilous.
If any Divine Consciousness Power leaked, it would pose a great threat to any nearby cultivators of weaker strength.
Therefore, when Chen Dengming and Lotus Sword True Monarch Mi Changzai calmly left their seats and came to the plaza on the outside of the Floating Island, the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs didn’t follow them, but instead moved to another Floating Island to watch from the sidelines.
...
Leaving an entire Floating Island for Chen Dengming and the other to demonstrate their prowess was of little issue, even if the entire island were to be shattered in the process.
Zuo Qiuling, without fail the commanding Elder in charge of the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance’s rear echelon, was meticulous in his actions.
Before the two began their contest, he publicly inquired once more about the intelligence Chen Dengming had obtained.
He said Chen Dengming only needed to inform him privately, citing the secrecy of the intelligence; there was no need for public disclosure.
This arrangement likely also served as a precaution—should there be any mishap during their confrontation, at least the intelligence would not be lost.
Such measures were also in line with Chen Dengming’s intentions.
He immediately communicated to Elder Zuo Qiu through a whispered transmission, saying,
“Elder Zuo Qiu, I’ve shared with you some of the intelligence I’ve obtained during the previous meetings.
“Now I will tell it to you in detail.
Based on the clues from the relics of the Qianluo Ghost King, it’s highly probable that the Ghost King of the Nether Spring and the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch have allied with the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators.
The most convincing evidence is the combination of Qianluo Ghost King and that ancestor of the Dharma Saint Palace from Three Saints Palaces, Jian Wenxin, joining forces against me…”
Furthermore, by infiltrating the spiritual gap of the Holy Mother of Beiyin, I learned that the Three Saints Palaces also intend to ally with the Ghost Monarchs of the Nether Spring, with the suspicion being they might invite a powerful figure at the level of a Ghost Monarch to launch a surprise attack on our alliance!”
“Invite a powerful figure at the level of Ghost Monarch to launch a surprise attack?
Could it be the Ghost King of the Netherworld?”
Elder Zuo Qiu’s heart was shaken, and his expression slightly changed.
If it were just the likes of Starfall Ghost Monarch, whose Ghost Infant had reached completion, he would not take them seriously.
If such an opponent dared to leave the Nether Spring and Yin Soil to come into the Mortal World, losing the protection of the Ghost Gather Dao, he would gladly go alone and strike them down to make a merit.
However, if it were the Ghost King of the Netherworld, an old and powerful Ghost Monarch who has lived for eons, commanding strong forces, and lying in wait to launch the army of Shadow Ghosts in a crucial moment to surprise attack the Mortal World, that indeed would be a big problem.
Elder Zuo Qiu’s thoughts raced, he gave Chen Dengming a deep look, nodded slightly to acknowledge he understood and did not say more.
The intelligence provided by Chen Dengming was indeed very important.
But as he said, there were still doubts, such as how, with his early Nascent Soul stage power, he managed to infiltrate the spiritual gap of the Holy Mother of Beiyin and obtain secret messages.
This ability was something even he, Zuo Qiu, did not believe himself capable of.
“Elder Zuo Qiu seems to be both believing and doubting; to strike iron, one must be strong oneself!”
Chen Dengming retracted his gaze, looking toward Mi Changzai opposite him, knowing he still had to prove his own strength.
The intelligence he provided was indeed based on speculation.
But it was not without evidence.
There were multiple indicative clues that could corroborate it.
For example, the news he got from infiltrating the spiritual gap of the Holy Mother of Beiyin that the Three Saints Palaces had arranged another party to ambush and kill him.
And also the map he found in the Storage Bag of Qianluo Ghost King.
The roads marked on it from the Mortal World leading down to the Nether Spring, which had been developed, proved that Ghost Creatures often traveled between the Mortal World and the Nether Spring; otherwise, such sophisticated maps would not have been created.
Furthermore, the combined attack on him by Qianluo Ghost King and the old woman Jian Wenxin from the Three Saints Palaces was the most direct evidence proving the alliance between the Ghost Cultivators from beneath the Nether Spring and the Outer Realm Cultivators.
Last, the two Ghost Brides from beneath the Nether Spring were also preparing to take revenge on him…
When he combined all these pieces of intelligence, it indicated that the Three Saints Palaces had allied with the Ghost Monarchs of the Nether Spring, with a plan targeting the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance.
After all, Qianluo Ghost King had already allied once with the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators.
There was no guarantee that next time, an even stronger Ghost Monarch would not make a move.
The deductions of the Holy Mother of Beiyin also pointed towards this possibility.
Even though in essence, this alliance currently seemed to be targeting him alone, it seemed to implicate the entire Counterattack Alliance.
But such a notion, if voiced, was unlikely to be believed.
The very idea that the grand alliance between the Ghost Monarchs and Outer Realm Evil Cultivators was just to deal with Chen Dengming, a Nascent Soul True Monarch who had just been elevated, and not harboring a greater scheme, was implausible.
From this perspective, Chen Dengming believed that Elder Zuo Qiu would take the matter seriously.
Better to be proactive and err on the side of caution, to slay a hundred wrongly than to miss one true foe.
But this was exactly what he desired, as he could leverage the power of the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance to set an ambush, take the initiative in facing the calamity, and eradicate all enemies.
Of course, should there be any errors within, it would not count as falsifying intelligence for personal gain.

Because if a Ghost Lady or a stronger enemy did appear and was eliminated, that would also serve to weaken the forces of the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators and deter the Ghosts of the Nether Spring.
The fluctuation in thoughts was a flash in the pan.
At this moment, Lotus Sword True Monarch Mi Changzai had a gaze sharp like shooting stars, staring at Chen Dengming, signaling him to prepare for their Spirit encounter and to not be distracted, raising his hand in a saluting gesture, he said.
“Sect Leader Chen, today’s contest between us is solely to corroborate and for the strategic advantage of Tide Cliff.
It’s not about personal pride.
After this battle, regardless of the outcome, let’s not bear resentment.
Do you agree?”
As he leisurely spoke these words, they highlighted the grace and stern righteousness of Lotus Sword True Monarch, with his consideration for the bigger picture.
