Chapter 1850
The wicked ghost is terrified
at the same time.
In the endless void battlefield.
Deep within a small realm under the besieged Black Serpent Demon Clan, inside a fifth-tier top-grade ghost land.
The Black Serpent Demon Lord, a member of the Black Serpent Demon Clan who had been hiding here, also learned about various news from the Primordial Immortal City through some special channels.
In an instant, a storm of emotions surged within it.
'How could that be?'
It truly did not expect that Hunyuan Tianjun would know such a powerful figure as Ling Pengyun, and that Ling Pengyun would even stand up for him and destroy the two major forces, Baishui Immortal Sect and Chiyu Immortal Sect.
Furthermore, such military achievements are particularly astonishing.
Furthermore, the main reason why the White Water Immortal Sect and the Red Feather Immortal Sect attacked the Hunyuan Immortal City was because of their scheme.
It was extremely afraid that Ling Pengyun would come looking for it and kill it too.
After all, although its strength is not bad, and it is backed by the Black Serpent Demon Clan, a power in the Void Refining Realm, the Black Serpent Demon Clan is still a bit weaker than the two major powers of the White Water Immortal Sect.
It had no chance whatsoever of escaping Ling Pengyun's clutches.
'Now I can only pray that the extraordinary Heavenly Lord Lingxiao will heed the rules set above and refrain from attacking someone like me, a mere Void Refinement cultivator from the Myriad Chaos Ghost Realm.'
"By the way, it's rumored that the Lingxiao Heavenly Lord is also the leader of the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance within the Hunyuan Immortal City, and that the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance is now involved in the current battle to attack this small realm under our clan's control."
'Given this situation, our clan has no choice but to accept our fate.'
Looking at the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance army, which was not particularly noticeable among the large number of righteous merchant alliances and the allied forces of various powers outside, Black Serpent Ghost Lord couldn't help but feel a great deal of fear and helplessness.
It even gritted its teeth and immediately arranged for the countless black snake demons under its command stationed in that small realm to gradually withdraw using the teleportation array there, so as not to anger Ling Pengyun, the person behind the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance.
Moreover, the situation in the small ghost realm under its command was already precarious.
In addition, its attempt to use the two major forces of Bai Shui Xian Sect to attack Hunyuan Immortal City to lure away the Hunyuan Alliance forces in the midst of the battle failed.
Indirectly, even if it urgently needs to lead its large army to guard this small ghost realm, it will probably be in vain.
Secondly, in a few decades, there will be chaos in the realms.
If it and its countless kin stationed in this small realm were to perish at this moment, the Black Serpent Demon clan behind it would likely be nearing its end as well.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to withdraw during the safer period.
Furthermore, although it was reluctant to part with the precious fifth-tier top-grade ghost realm here, it valued its life more than its interests.
……
at the same time.
Outside that small ghost realm, inside a flying boat of the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance army.
'Those evil spirits are intentionally withdrawing? That's interesting.'
'They must have received some information, but...they received it incredibly quickly.'
Ling Pengyun, who had been observing the battle, possessed powerful detection techniques. As a result, he subtly noticed that the evil spirits in the Ghost Realm were rapidly leaving the small realm using the teleportation array.
This is particularly strange, since those evil spirits had been guarding that small realm with all their might, showing no intention of retreating at all.
Therefore, it was not difficult for Ling Pengyun to guess the reason for this.
But this matter also gave him a lot to think about.
After all, the Myriad Chaos Ghost Realm, where those evil spirits reside, is countless miles away from the Clear Cloud Realm.
Moreover, due to some conflict between the two parties, they had no contact with each other on a regular basis.
This has even indirectly led to a severe information gap between the two sides.
Under such circumstances, their ability to quickly obtain some special information is quite remarkable.
There might even be some... treacherous ghosts within the Qingxia Realm. And those treacherous ghosts must have some tricks up their sleeves, since it's very difficult to get information out of the Qingxia Realm.
Unless they leave the Qingxia Realm and arrive at one of the smaller realms under the control of various major powers, and then use those smaller realms to send messages.
Secondly, ordinary means of communication cannot bridge countless miles to send a message to the Black Serpent Demon Clan.
Only communication methods of level six or higher can accomplish this task.
'This is hardly a good thing; I fear the ensuing chaos in the realms will be even more turbulent.'
'We not only need to be wary of the evil spirits from the Myriad Chaos Ghost Realm, but we should also be wary of some 'treacherous ghosts' within the Clear Cloud Realm.'
Ling Pengyun's brows furrowed slightly as he secretly made a plan.
In addition, he wanted to take action to stop the large number of evil spirits that were trying to escape, as well as the Black Serpent Demon Lord.
However, the rules set by the higher-ups still need to be taken seriously.
Moreover, he didn't want to provoke the top-tier ghost factions that set the rules of the game just to deal with those evil spirits and ghost lords.
Furthermore, with their withdrawal, the attack on that smaller realm will proceed more smoothly.
As long as he can obtain the benefits of that small realm, he can consider it as achieving his expectations.
He then paid no further attention to the matter of the evil spirits leaving.
'However, this time our Lingxiao Merchant Alliance has offended the Black Serpent Demon Clan. If we don't eliminate that demon clan, they may become a source of trouble in the future.'
"Moreover, although it's difficult to take action against them now, the rules will be temporarily abolished when chaos erupts in the realms, at which point we might be able to take action against them."
Ling Pengyun gave a cold laugh.
……
Not far away, Hunyuan Tianjun, who was also overseeing the battle, noticed the movements of the group of evil spirits and guessed the reason behind it.
Therefore, he immediately approached Ling Pengyun and said with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, it seems that the commotion you caused by destroying the White Water Immortal Sect and the Crimson Feather Immortal Sect has terrified those evil spirits of the Black Serpent Demon Clan."
"Fellow Daoist Hunyuan, please don't make fun of me."
Ling Pengyun said modestly.
The two then started chatting.
Furthermore, Hunyuan Tianjun had no particular interest in the group of evil spirits that had withdrawn.
It was precisely because of this that the Black Serpent Ghost Lord and his group of powerful warriors in that Ghost Realm were able to safely withdraw.
But now, the defenses within that Ghost Path Small Realm have become completely empty, leaving only the rather complex, top-tier fifth-order protective array that is difficult to dismantle in a short time.
Although that formation was powerful, it could even withstand several attacks from ordinary early-stage Void Refinement cultivators at full strength.
However, since they were unmanned, and there were many powerful cultivators in the armies of the Hunyuan lineage and the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance, among other immortal city forces.
Therefore, the group quickly broke through and stormed in, swiftly dismantling the core of the teleportation array, cutting off the Black Serpent Demon Clan's path back to this place, and occupying that small ghost realm.
Immediately afterwards, everyone divided up the benefits of the ghost veins within the Little Ghost Path Realm according to the previous agreement and various battle merits.
Afterwards, all the major powers were overjoyed.
'This battle went very smoothly. It seems that agreeing to the Hunyuan lineage's request to risk their lives to help them attack this small realm was indeed the right choice.'
'However, the victory in this battle was probably mainly due to the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance…'
'...'
Among the army, those from the Immortal City Merchant Alliance also heard some special news, and they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Their respect for the Lingxiao Merchant Alliance even surged. (End of Chapter)
