If Zuo Qiuling had even a trace of curiosity about the relationship between Buddha in The World and the mysterious Ghost Path cultivator, she would definitely hesitate in investigating this matter and wouldn’t have flatly refused.

Now, the truth proved that she was right in doing so.

…

Soon, after half a day had passed.

Chen Dengming arrived at the Yin Ghost Mountain Range.

...

This place was still sealed by the grand sealing formation he had laid out in the past, which caused the once ghostly and somber mountains to disappear; the peaks outside the formation were now bursting with life.

At noon, the golden sunlight shone on the verdant mountains; beautiful little flowers grew on the cliffs, trembling like butterfly wings, which was quite moving.

There was even evidence that cultivators had lived and settled here for a time.

Chen Dengming looked surprised, and after sweeping the area with his Divine Sense and finding no one, he abandoned the thought of driving them away.

It wasn’t appropriate for people to reside outside these Ghost Mountains.

It seemed now as though the feng shui had improved, but in reality, it was just an illusion created by the formation.

As the chief in charge of the formation, to this day, he still had the Formation Command that controlled it.

Chen Dengming soared through the air, performing a hand seal and emitting the Formation Command.

Immediately, spiritual energy from all directions converged toward him.

“Dao, Dao Friend, now that the Soul Clam Pearl has been obtained, this, this little one can recover one of my souls.

Thank you, Dao Friend, for all your efforts over the years.”

Inside the Soul House, the Mini Array Spirit expressed its emotional gratitude.

“Ling’er, you and I have shared life and death, relying on each other to get by.

Why be so formal with me?”

Chen Dengming smiled.

Seeing the ripples of the formation in the distance forming a gateway, he immediately entered, his robes billowing.

He swiftly flew over the steep peaks and craggy ridges of the mountain range to the outside of the eerily cold Nether Cave and sent a Divine Thought into it.

Before long, the Nether Spring inside the cave trembled and ripples formed, releasing a frosty mist.

A chill and oppressive Divine Thought Fluctuation emanated from within.

“Longevity Sect Leader, you actually still remember to visit this Monarch.

It seems you haven’t forgotten the agreement with this Monarch.”

Chen Dengming replied with a light smile and a bow, “Chen is not a man who fattens on broken faith.

It seems Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch still does not understand me.”

“Hmph!

Spare me your insincere talk.”

Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch was not convinced, his voice hoarse and cold, “I heard long ago that the war in the Mortal World has ended, and those Outer Realm Evil Cultivators were defeated.

And you, Chen Sect Leader, have also made an even bigger name for yourself.

But since the battle is over, why do you still delay fulfilling your promise to this Monarch?”

Chen Dengming spread his hands, “Haven’t I come already?

I’m here precisely to discuss matters of cooperation with you.

Otherwise, why do you think I would come?”

“Hehehe, why come here if you’re not clear about it yourself?”

Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch said indifferently, “Your Dao Friend and his two Ghost Ladies are currently in my mansion.

They are indeed capable, having killed Dark Stream Old Ghost and acquired the Soul Clam Pearl from him.

You came here not to trade with me, but to take them away, did you not?”

“Old fox.” Chen Dengming’s gaze turned slightly colder.

He could only understand the situation with Chu Xun by entering the Hall of Human Heart.

He didn’t know the current condition of Chu Xun and the two Ghost Ladies.

However, it was also his instruction for Old Zhu to protect the two Ghost Ladies back to Starfall Ghost City before returning to the Mortal World.

Now, it was indeed possible that Chu Xun and the two Ghost Ladies were within Starfall Ghost City.

But the likelihood was small; not to mention his early warnings, Old Zhu himself was no fool and wouldn’t allow his enemies to catch them all in one net.

Even if the worst scenario had indeed happened, he was already prepared and had anticipated it; the trading rights negotiated with Zuo Qiuling were to cope with Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch turning hostile.

“Starfall…”

Chen Dengming’s tone turned colder, “I came indeed to discuss the first batch of goods exchange, to carry out our first trade and to fully establish our cooperation.

But what you are showing now, it does not appear to be sincerity, but hostility…”

“Oh?”

Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch was skeptical but then with a cold laugh said, “We Ghost Cultivators value interests and reality above all.

You ask me to show sincerity, but you have delayed me for far too long.

You say you want to perform the first trade; very well, bring out something from the Mortal World that would satisfy me.

If you cannot, then I’ll take both the Soul Clam Pearl and your brother, as well as his wives, as a form of interest for these years.”

“Damn it, this Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch is too cunning…” Inside the Soul House, the Mini Array Spirit bristled with frustration and anger.

Chen Dengming, on the other hand, remained calm and said, “The goods are already on their way and will arrive in a few days.

After waiting so many years, you couldn’t possibly fail to wait a few more days, could you?”

“Fine, I will wait a few more days for you.”

Chen Dengming snorted and no longer bothered with insincere pleasantries, his sleeve flicking as he flew back through the forests.

He needed to enter the Hall of Human Heart to ascertain Chu Xun’s current state.

The reaction of Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch was not the least bit beyond his expectations.

Fortunately, he had made preparations before coming.

“Dao, Dao Friend, if you truly conduct this trade with the old ghost, wouldn’t it be abetting evil, and could cause trouble in the future?”

The Mini Array Spirit in the Soul House couldn’t help but remind him.

Chen Dengming chuckled silently, a flicker of light in his eyes conveying his thoughts, “No problem.

Trading with him now is just buying time with space.

It’s for the space for Chu Xun and me to develop; what we lack is the time to grow.

This old ghost may have plenty of time, but he lacks the room to grow.

As for the goods of the trade, the materials allocated by Zuo Qiuling from the Counterattack Cultivator Alliance will not let this old ghost off cheaply, but will only whet his appetite…”
