Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

at the same time.

Inside a cave dwelling filled with ghostly energy at the Purple Extreme Ghost Sword Sect.

"not good!"

While Ling Pengxing was meditating, he sensed something was amiss in one of the corners of his surroundings.

The next moment, an incomparably sharp fifth-grade ghost-path flying knife inexplicably flew out from that corner. Its power was extremely strong, even comparable to a fraction of the power of someone in the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, making it extremely terrifying.

And it kept attacking Ling Pengxing.

Under such circumstances, Ling Pengxing had no choice but to take it seriously.

“My Purple Extreme Ghost Sword Sect is protected by a great formation, and when I went into seclusion earlier, I arranged for a large number of my clansmen in the Purple Extreme Sword Sect to help protect me. In addition, my detection ability is not weak. Under such circumstances, even my cousin Peng Yun would probably find it difficult to sneak into my cave and attack me silently.”

"Who exactly is that person hiding in the shadows?"

'A Ghostly Immortal's Sword!'

With a thought, Ling Pengxing immediately summoned the fifth-grade top-quality Ghost Immortal Flying Sword that he had been nurturing in his dantian for many years.

Immediately afterwards, the Ghost Immortal Flying Sword released boundless sword intent, transforming into a giant sword ten thousand feet long, which directly cleaved the entire cave in two.

He then swiftly slashed at the incoming flying knife.

Zheng!
As the two collided, a piercing sound immediately followed.

A powerful surge of ghostly energy swept across the area, causing countless disturbances.

Fortunately, the Ghost Immortal Flying Sword contained Ling Pengxing's full-force attack, and Ling Pengxing's strength had greatly increased after his breakthrough. Therefore, he was able to barely suppress the Ghost Dao Flying Knife with the Ghost Immortal Flying Sword, and even forced it to retreat step by step.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Pengxing retreated quickly and crushed the communication talisman, summoning the family ghost cultivators who had been arranged to protect him outside the cave to come and help.

"What kind of villain dares to cause trouble in my Purple Extreme Ghost Sword Sect?"

"Furthermore, I am a guest elder of the Evil Eye Spirit Ghost Clan. Why don't you show yourself at once?"

Then, Ling Pengxing coldly snorted at the void from which the strange movement had occurred.

"I really didn't expect that you, young friend, not only broke through so quickly, but also possessed such formidable strength right after breaking through."

"In that case, my trip was worthwhile."

At that moment, a slight ripple appeared in the void, and then a thin middle-aged man silently appeared there.

This person was none other than Gui Xiaotianjun, who had just arrived in the Blood Origin Minor Realm from the Realm of Ten Thousand Souls.

'I didn't expect it to be this person.' Upon seeing this, Ling Pengxing frowned immediately, sensing something was wrong.

He then gave a simple bow.

"By the way, young friend, what are your thoughts on that matter?"

"Furthermore, considering your formidable strength, if you agree to that matter, I can give you an additional spiritual item for breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm, on top of the original benefits!"

A hint of curiosity appeared on Gui Xiaotianjun's usually calm and composed face as he asked Ling Pengxing.

Decades ago, Ling Pengxing displayed considerable strength, even being able to fight against a Perfected Nascent Soul cultivator while only at the late Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, Ghost Night Heavenly Lord, who was also a guest of the Evil Eye Spirit Ghost Clan, valued him more.

Furthermore, the conflict between the Evil Eye Spirit Ghost Clan and their enemy, the Wu Jia Spirit Ghost Clan, from the Myriad Souls Ghost Realm has intensified recently, and it is likely that a major war will break out between the two sides soon.

The strength of the Wujia Spirit Ghost Clan is no less than that of the Evil Eye Spirit Ghost Clan; both have two or three Void Refinement cultivators, and they have many powerful subordinates.

In addition, although Gui Xiaotianjun was only a guest elder under the Evil Eye Spirit Ghost Clan, he had signed a high-level Yuan Soul Contract with the Evil Eye Spirit Ghost Clan in his early years and was required to do things for them.

Under such circumstances, if the Great Chaos were to occur, he would have to participate in the war, but such chaos would be immense.

Even if he is quite capable, he might still encounter trouble.

In addition, by chance in his early years, he had acquired a top-tier fifth-order supreme-grade ghost Dao battle formation. If he had enough ghost Dao to activate it, he could use that formation to unleash power comparable to nearly 50-60% of the Void Refinement Realm, which could greatly help Ghost Night Heavenly Lord.

Therefore, in recent years, Guixiao Tianjun has been trying to recruit guests such as Ling Pengxing, who is also a rogue cultivator from the Evil Eye Spirit Ghost Clan, or other good-natured cultivators from the outside world, as his direct disciples and helpers.

He even offered a lot of benefits, such as cultivation resources and the like.

However, Ling Pengxing, backed by his family, did not lack ordinary high-level cultivation resources.

Moreover, if a great war were to break out, it would be safer to follow the direct descendants of the Evil Eye Spirit Ghost Clan than to follow a rogue cultivator like Ghost Night Heavenly Lord.

Therefore, Ling Pengxing did not agree to his recruitment in the first place.

However, the offer from the current Ghost Lord is truly substantial.

After all, refined spiritual objects are extremely rare, and Ling Pengxing has a great pursuit of the Dao.

Ling Pengxing couldn't help but be tempted by this.

"If that's the case, it's not impossible to do things for them."

Ling Pengxing secretly made his calculations. (End of Chapter)
