Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

the other side.

Deep within the ghost realm.

The border region under the jurisdiction of one of the four superior evil spirit forces.

With its formidable strength, the massive Azure Flying Ship relentlessly swept through all the ghostly lands it passed.

Even ghost lands protected by fifth-order ghost arrays are unlikely to last long against them.

They seemed to possess an invincible aura, exuding extraordinary power.

Meanwhile, on one of the flying ships in the Cangxuan Flying Ship Group.

'That Senior Yaoxing is quite sensible.'

Ling Pengyun looked at the message he had previously exchanged with Daoist Yaoxing in his hand and couldn't help but smile.

Although the Cangxuan lineage is currently stronger than the Yaoxing Immortal Sect after gathering the forces of the Cangxuan Realm.

However, the Cangxuan lineage has no real conflict of interest with the Yaoxing Immortal Sect, and the interests of the Ghost Domain and the demonic path of the Heavenly River Realm alone are enough for the Cangxuan lineage to live comfortably.

In addition, the two parties have cooperated several times in the past, and the cooperation has always gone very smoothly.

Moreover, the Radiant Star Immortal Sect is a local force in the Heavenly River Realm, and it has relatively good relations with the major righteous forces in the Heavenly River Realm.

Under such circumstances, if the Cangxuan lineage were to clash with them, the Yaoxing Immortal Sect would likely be able to call upon many righteous forces from the Tianhe Realm for assistance.

When that time comes, the Cangxuan lineage will be in trouble.

The Cangxuan lineage is not strong enough to deal with the entire Tianhe Realm.

Therefore, neither Ling Pengyun nor the Star Sea Ancestor and other high-ranking members of the Cangxuan lineage wanted to have a conflict with him for no reason.

The best-case scenario right now would be if the two sides could get along well.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Pengyun and the other high-ranking members of the Cangxuan lineage were relieved and turned their full attention to attacking the remaining four superior evil ghost forces under the Ghost Domain.

In addition, during the previous battle in the Purple Mist Mountain Range, the Cangxuan lineage had killed many powerful members of the Silver Moon Bear Clan, including the Silver Moon Bear Lord who had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Indirectly, even if the Silver Moon Bear Clan still has many powerful members in various treasure lands in the Heavenly River Realm, their strength is probably only 30% to 40% of what it was when they were at their peak.

The Cangxuan lineage was also quite interested in it.

Furthermore, given the numerous powerful forces in the Heavenly River Realm, the Cangxuan lineage feared that the Silver Moon Wild Bear Clan's territory would be snatched away by other forces. Therefore, they dispatched a large number of troops to leave the Ghost Realm and head to the Heavenly River Realm to attack the Silver Moon Wild Bear Clan in the Boundless Demon Mountain Range.

The Cangxuan lineage did not seek to completely annihilate that force, but only to hold them back and deter the surrounding areas.

……

at the same time.

Heavenly River Boundary.

Deep within the boundless, desolate mountains.

The territory of the Silvermoon Bear Clan is vast and roughly pentagonal in shape.

In addition, the Silver Moon Bear Clan has a strong foundation, being a powerful demon clan that existed since ancient times. They have established five formidable border strongholds in various high-level treasure lands within their territory.

Among them are at least fifth-grade superior spiritual veins, and some even have top-grade fifth-grade superior formations, and countless demonic beasts that have been guarding them for many years.

They were surrounded by many ordinary spiritual lands that served as a protective fortress, ultimately safeguarding the entire Silver Moon Bear clan.

In addition, those places are equipped with special detection methods, making it difficult for ordinary people to sneak into the territory of the Silver Moon Bear Clan without being detected. Even if they do manage to sneak in, they are easily surrounded and killed once discovered.

Therefore, even though everyone knows that the Silver Moon Bear clan has many treasures, no one dares to make any moves against them.

However, the Silver Moon Bear Clan was no longer at its peak, and some well-informed righteous forces in the Heavenly River Realm turned their attention to them.

If those forces hadn't been wary of the Silver Moon Bear Clan being severely injured by the Cangxuan lineage, they probably would have already gathered a large number of powerful individuals to storm in and seize the opportunity.

And this moment.

In the vicinity of the Silver Moon Bear Clan, a massive fleet of flying ships carrying nearly a hundred million cultivators was rapidly heading towards 'Silver Spirit Valley,' one of the five key border strongholds under the Silver Moon Bear Clan's control.

The cultivators on those flying boats were the troops that the Cangxuan lineage had sent to entangle the Silver Moon Barbarian Bear clan.

Leading the group were Ling Pengxing, a sword cultivator from the family who had been severely injured in the battle in the Purple Miasma Evil Ghost Mountain Range, and Zheng Yuan Laodao, a sword cultivator from the Righteous Path Alliance, both of whom were in the late Nascent Soul stage.

They were all quite powerful, and Ling Pengxing was injured and could no longer engage in fierce battles. Even if he stayed in the Ghost Domain, he would hardly be able to help the family much.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to come to the Silver Moon Bear Clan to keep order. In any case, the Cangxuan lineage has no intention of directly confronting the Silver Moon Bear Clan for the time being, so this matter poses no threat.

Ling Pengxing can also take this opportunity to go into seclusion and heal his injuries.

As for Master Zhengyuan, he had made some meritorious contributions during his time in the Purple Miasma Mountain Range, acquiring some flying swords and ghost treasures. He urgently needed time to refine them into the Zhengyuan Flying Sword.

In addition, Ling Pengyun and other high-ranking members of the Cangxuan lineage promised him some treasures, so he simply left the Ghost Realm and came here.

In addition to the two of them, there were nearly thirty Nascent Soul cultivators in that force. Most of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, and a small number were Nascent Soul spirit ghosts and Nascent Soul spirit beasts from their families.

Upon closer examination, the strength of this force is quite good, comparable to a long-established superior Nascent Soul power.

It is even stronger than the current weak Silver Moon Bear Clan's powerful members.

However, if they were to confront them head-on, even if the Cangxuan lineage could win, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses, which would be a terrible loss.

After all, as long as this clan is stalled, the main force of the Cangxuan lineage in the Ghost Realm can arrive, and the Cangxuan lineage can easily wipe them out.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Commanders Ling Pengxing and Zhengyuan decided to proceed cautiously and first target Silver Spirit Valley, one of the five major border strongholds under the Silver Moon Barbarian Bear Clan, to assess the situation before making any further moves.

Otherwise, if we directly and forcefully attack the Silver Moon Bear clan's territory, we might easily push them to their limit, which would cause a major upheaval and be very troublesome.

'Those righteous forces in the Heavenly River Realm do have some sense.'

'This way, we can save a lot of energy and focus on dealing with the weakened Silver Moon Bear clan.'

At this moment, Ling Pengxing, who was heavily injured, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that none of the sentries he had dispatched to keep an eye on the Silver Moon Bear Clan had yet discovered any intention from the other righteous factions in the Heavenly River Realm to interfere.

Subsequently, he sought out several family members he trusted during this trip who had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

In addition, Ling Pengyun's eldest son, the Dharma cultivator Ling Chengxia, and his youngest son, the Beast Tamer Ling Chengmie, were also among those people.

After all, they were not skilled in the ways of ghosts. Compared to following the main force of the Cangxuan lineage to attack those evil ghost forces in the ghost realm, they were more interested in entangled with the Silver Moon Wild Bear clan.

In addition, Ling Chengmie is skilled in the art of beast taming.

The two brothers had already agreed that when their group of cultivators went to war with the Silver Moon Bear clan, they would find an opportunity to capture a few Nascent Soul Silver Moon Bears.

They then used special methods to erase its intelligence and cultivate it into a spirit beast.

Those spirit beasts possess at least 70% of their full strength, which is quite good. They are extremely popular in the market and have a very high value. Whether sold to clansmen or other powerful members of the Cangxuan lineage, the benefits are considerable.

If this matter succeeds, the Ling brothers, Ling Chengmie and Ling Chengxia, will surely make a fortune.

Moreover, they had done this before during the chaos of the Heavenly River Realm's demonic path and other upheavals, so they were quite experienced and had a greater chance of success.

In addition, they are, after all, the offspring of Ling Pengyun, and Ling Pengxing, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the family, is very close to Ling Pengyun.

In addition, the Ling brothers, Chengxia and Ling Pengxing, are of good character and have good aptitude. Moreover, they are quite polite to Ling Pengxing and other family elders.

Ling Pengxing valued them highly, and they even held a significant place in his heart. "I am injured and wish to go into seclusion to heal for a while. Please keep a close eye on things from now on. If anything goes wrong, remember to send me a message immediately."

Immediately afterwards, Ling Pengxing gave instructions to the Ling brothers, Ling Chengxia and Ling Chengxia, as well as several other newly promoted Nascent Soul stage and mid-stage experts from the family.

"Don't worry, Uncle Pengxing, you can focus on healing."

Ling Chengxia asked with concern.

"Yes, the rest is relatively easy. There is no need to confront the Silver Moon Bear Clan head-on. We only need to keep them occupied. Therefore, you, Uncle Pengxing, have no need to worry."

Beastmaster Ling Cheng destroyed the Dao.

The other core clan members also spoke a few words.

They also gave Ling Pengxing some of their better healing items.

"You've put a lot of thought into this, and these healing items are quite effective, so I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Seeing this, Ling Pengxing felt a warmth in his heart and accepted all the healing items.

Afterwards, Ling Pengxing visited Zheng Yuan, another commander in this battle, and then temporarily returned to a secluded cave on the flying boat to cultivate in seclusion.

Ling Chengxia, Ling Chengmie, and other Cangxuan lineage cultivators who participated in the battle, along with Zhengyuan Laodao, looked warily toward Silver Spirit Valley, the border stronghold of the Silver Moon Barbarian Bear clan.

And soon.

Their troops then used flying boats to quickly reach within a few miles of Silver Spirit Valley. During this time, the flying boats were equipped with powerful concealment techniques.

They did not disturb the demons in Silver Spirit Valley.

They caught the demons in Silver Spirit Valley completely off guard.

'This day has finally come. We must send this message back to the clan as soon as possible so that the troops remaining in the clan can prepare.'

'...'

Seeing this, the Nascent Soul demon bears stationed in Silver Spirit Valley were utterly helpless.

Through some special means, they have learned about the tragic deaths of their kin, including Silver Moon Bear, who went to the Ghost Realm to seek opportunities.

Subsequently, they sent messages back to their clans and unleashed a variety of powerful tactics, even activating the valley's protective formations to counterattack.

Although their methods were powerful, the forces dispatched by the Cangxuan lineage were even stronger.

They simply couldn't handle it.

In just one encounter, their attacks were either shattered or they were repelled.

Even the protective formation of Silver Spirit Valley was shaken by the blast.

The situation in the entire Yinling Valley became somewhat dire.

...,

at the same time.

The territory of the Silver Moon Bear Clan.

The summit of Silver Moon Hill, a fifth-tier top-grade treasure land.

"The Cangxuan lineage truly deserves to die. It was bad enough that they killed a large number of our clan's experts in the Ghost Realm, but they even intended to attack the remaining forces of our clan. They are determined to annihilate our clan."

"Fortunately, the main force of the Cangxuan lineage did not come, so this matter may have a chance to turn around."

"..."

Some of the Nascent Soul demon bears left behind by the Silver Moon Wild Bear clan guessed the Cangxuan lineage's intentions and were immediately furious, deciding to take a gamble.

Subsequently, they began to gather all the demons under their command, and even the remaining demon cultivators who had gathered during the Demon Extermination Rebellion, to help support Silver Spirit Valley.

……

the other side.

Ghostland.

Another half month passed.

During this period, the main force of the Cangxuan lineage made numerous contributions here, and even successively conquered many ghost territories under the command of the four superior evil ghost forces.

The four evil forces were so frightened that they decided to band together for mutual support in order to avoid being defeated one by one by the Cangxuan lineage.

They reluctantly abandoned most of their high-level ghost lands and concentrated all their forces in the "Thunder Mountain Range," the ancestral home of the Thunder Demon Clan, the strongest among the various superior evil ghost forces.

There is a very special top-grade fifth-level Heavenly Thunder Primordial Yin Formation here, with extremely strong power.

Moreover, the Heavenly Thunder Ghost Lord who was killed by the Cangxuan lineage was from the Chu clan.

This clan is skilled in the art of tortoise-style Yin Thunder and possesses formidable combat prowess. They have long been the leaders of the superior evil ghost clans in the Ghost Realm.

At the height of their victory, they had nearly thirty Nascent Soul stage evil spirits and three late-stage Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Even though it suffered heavy losses in the previous battle in the Purple Miasma Mountain Range, just like other superior evil spirits, this clan still retains considerable strength.

Currently, it still has nearly ten Nascent Soul stage evil spirits and one elder in the late Nascent Soul stage guarding it.

As for the other three superior evil spirit forces, due to their relatively weak foundation and the loss of many strong individuals in the previous battle, they had fewer Nascent Soul stage experts remaining, with only five or six each, and none at the late Nascent Soul stage.

The number of ordinary evil spirits is much larger, at least in the hundreds of millions.

In addition, recently, they have also been recruiting their subordinate evil spirit forces to help them.

The Rock Demon Clan also has many affiliated demon forces, and they have dispatched some demons to provide support.

As a result, nearly half of the evil spirits in the entire Ghost Realm have gathered in the Thunder Mountain Range.

Among them were more than thirty Nascent Soul cultivators and nearly 10 billion ordinary evil spirits.

In addition, although there are very few strong ones among them, and the number of ordinary evil spirits is not particularly large compared to the past, the major evil spirit forces in the Ghost Realm have been severely damaged by the Cangxuan lineage before.

Therefore, it is no easy feat for the four superior evil spirit forces to have managed to gather so many evil spirits.

They were densely packed, like ants, covering the entire Thunder Mountain Range, creating a spectacular scene.

But they were all more or less tense.

It is rumored that the Cangxuan lineage, which has its sights set on the four superior evil ghost clans, is extremely powerful.

'I wonder if our mission to provide support will be successfully completed.'

'...'

The evil spirits of those various subordinate forces were extremely panicked and sighed inwardly.

They were unwilling to come to provide support, but unfortunately, the safety of the four superior evil ghost clans was related to the situation of the entire ghost realm.

Moreover, most of them are affiliated with the Four Great Evil Ghost Clans and the Rock Evil Ghost Clans, and they cannot afford to offend the Four Great Evil Ghost Clans and other such forces.

They had no choice but to grit their teeth and rush to their aid. (End of Chapter)
