Reverse Soul Locking!
Descend to Nether Spring to Seek Ghosts_3 “First, I’ve heard that you ghost creatures have an ability called ‘Soul Ghosts Indissoluble.’ I need you to help me track down the locations of those two Ghost Ladies, by whatever means necessary.”
Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch was startled.
This capability of ‘Soul Ghosts Indissoluble,’ even Chen Dengming knew about it, seemed to be very knowledgeable about ghost creatures, not just the little information from the Qianluo Ghost King.
For a moment, Starfall Netherworld Ghost King felt that this Longevity Sect Leader, who seemed rather disagreeable, was somewhat unfathomable.
...
Furthermore, considering that even the Netherworld Ghost King had to deal with this person, he felt increasingly that this white-haired man was quite uncanny and best not provoked.
“Second, I need you to help me find some people…
well, or rather, some ghosts, under the Nether Spring.
I will send my own ghost creatures down later, and you will only need to provide assistance.”
“Find some ghosts?”
Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch and Mi Changzai, along with others, were all puzzled by this second request of Chen Dengming, each with their thoughts diverging.

“Third, I need all the information you have on the Netherworld Ghost King.”
…
Two incense sticks later.
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the clouds changed and the wind stirred among the Yin Ghost Mountains.
Countless ice crystals shattered, and snow cascaded to the ground while Spiritual Energy converged like a tide.
Several Array Plates, embedded with Spirit Crystals at the geomantic nodes, released energy under the operation of a few Array Masters, combining with the nodes around to form a cohesive defensive field.
The barrier Formation that sealed off the Nether Spring was completely activated, locking the entire Nether Cave within and forming a ring of flickering Spiritual Light.
Shortly after, this barrier of light gradually faded, and a large amount of fog was born, completely engulfing the once ominously desolate mountain range.
The torrents of flowing clouds poured into the canyons, and the many sheer cliffs, sharp as knife-edges, looked like masts of sailing ships buoying and sinking in a sea of white waves…
utterly captivating, with not an ounce of ghost gas visible.
A short while later, a few Spirit Boats broke through the sealing Formation’s fog and flew out.
On one of those Spirit Boats, Chen Dengming stood tall on the deck, his headband and ribbons dancing in the wind with his white temples, exuding an extraordinary aura.
By his side stood the upright Lotus Sword True Monarch Mi Changzai who said thoughtfully, “Sect Leader Chen!
Ghost creatures, after all, are deceitful by nature, full of cunning tricks.
Although he satisfied your requests, there may be falsehoods within…”
Chen Dengming laughed heartily, his gentle gaze turned to Mi Changzai, “Brother Mi, rest assured, I have my ways to discern the truth from the false!”
“That’s excellent then!”
Mi Changzai nodded slightly, aware that Chen Dengming was not a reckless person; after all, a reckless man could not be the Sect Leader of the Longevity Sect.
As for sending ghost creatures into the Nether Spring to find other ghosts, whatever the deeper meaning, while Mi Changzai was curious, seeing that Chen Dengming did not divulge it, he did not take the initiative to ask.
Bi Renshan, who was sneakily eavesdropping from behind, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He would not dare to question the actions of a Nascent Soul True Monarch; he wouldn’t even dare to ask, only secretly listening for some reassuring news in the corner.
“Since there’s no problem, then Brother Mi, let’s get ready,” said Chen Dengming, his gaze meeting Mi Changzai’s, passing a stern look.
Mi Changzai received the message clearly and nodded gravely.
Just now, after Chen Dengming had temporarily formed a cooperation with Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch.
The Ghost Monarch immediately fulfilled Chen Dengming’s first request; using a soul-searching Five Ghosts Locking Soul Skill, he roughly determined the location of the two Ghost Ladies.
The final outcome made Chen Dengming both startled and unsurprised.
Indeed, the two Ghost Ladies had used the ‘Soul Ghosts Indissoluble’ skill to track him down and were now in the vicinity.
This certainly heightened Chen Dengming and others’ vigilance and prompted them to immediately message Feng Qingbo, who was at another Nether Spring, to be cautious and arrange to meet up together.
At this moment, several Spirit Boats left the Yin Ghost Mountain Range heading towards the third Nether Spring, potentially encountering an ambush by two Ghost Ladies leading many strong Outer Realm Evil Cultivators.
However, long before this, the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance had already scouted out the geography of the three Nether Springs and worked out the travel routes.
And at this very moment, two Nascent Soul True Monarchs were lying in ambush, ready to assist at any time, with Su Yanyan and Jiang Jian also quietly on their way.
The two Ghost Ladies, using the Soul Ghost Skill to lock onto Chen Dengming’s location and following him, were already being led by the nose, falling behind the arrangements made by the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance by quite a bit.
In such a scenario, the two Ghost Ladies leading a group of Outer Realm Evil Cultivators to attack was akin to them willingly entering a vast ambush net already laid out by the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance, making it uncertain who was the actual prey.
…
“Elder Dongfang, this isn’t the first time we have collaborated, but it is the first time since you’ve extricated yourself from Nanxun.
I only hope that this collaboration doesn’t necessarily have to unfold…
that way, it wouldn’t trouble you, and I can avoid some danger.”
Inside the cabin of the Spirit Boat, having entered the cabin, Chen Dengming submerged his consciousness into the sea of awareness, communicating with Dongfang Huayuan through the Human God Palace, uttering these words of courtesy.
The Forbidden Nether plan not only involved the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance sealing off the Nether Springs and deterring the Ghost Shades, cutting off the alliance between the Ghost Shades and the Outer Realm Evil Cultivators.
It was also a plan designed by Chen Dengming to face a tribulation.
The ultimate guarantee of this plan was Dongfang Huayuan.
More than half a month ago, Chen Dengming had already made contact with Dongfang Huayuan.
This was simply an advanced reconnection, to preclude any oversight.
Although according to the Ancestor, facing a tribulation should not involve direct help from others,
Chen Dengming, out of caution, still covered his bases by inviting Dongfang Huayuan to oversee the situation, lest the worst-case scenario occur—some shameless Outer Realm Deity Transformation cultivator directly attacks him.
If an Outer Realm Deity Transformation cultivator intervened, it would no longer be a tribulation, but an undeserved disaster.
“Boy, your ability to attract trouble is notable; perhaps the Netherworld Ghost King might indeed target you this time.
But as I said before, since you helped me out, I owe you a favor; if the Netherworld Ghost King lays a hand on you, rest assured, I will take action!”
From inside the Human God Palace, Dongfang Huayuan’s resounding voice transmitted, full of fervor, offering boundless confidence.
“Then, Elder, are you nearby now?”
“I haven’t left yet, but I’ll head over shortly.”
Chen Dengming, “…”
This Dongfang Huayuan, why does he seem somewhat unreliable?
He couldn’t think that if a Deity Transformation Dao Lord truly intervened personally, he could hold out for long, could he?
Being able to maintain composure for a moment, quickly thinking of a dignified way to die, might already be the limit.
“Don’t be nervous; as you know, with wars breaking out everywhere, both sides are keeping a tight watch on high-level cultivators.
If I come too early, I might spook the enemy, inadvertently ruining your plan…”
