And apart from the original Ghost Cultivators, you recently gained fifteen cultivators of the Profound Yellow First Realm from the Crane Spirit Sect. The rest are originally from the Li Family and the cultivators who died in battle with them. These people were already considered dead by others.
Thus, even though we have complete control of the Crane Spirit Sect’s upper echelons, the total number we control isn’t actually very large."
Hua Xianggu said, "Old Li, what do you mean?"
Song Yan said, "Don’t respond, and don’t act as if you understand their tricks."
Hua Xianggu was stunned, "Then... what should we do?"
Song Yan said, "Do nothing."
Hua Xianggu frowned, "Previously, He Wuya and Li Shanhai, along with the Ice Abyss Phoenix, could ambush the Changfeng Immortal Dynasty. Now it’s our turn, we’re still in the shadows, so there’s no need to be this cautious, right?
Old Li, I know you’re worried about us being careless, but... but... the Changfeng Immortal Dynasty has sent this Treasure Pearl here, their intent of pitting tiger against wolf is quite obvious. If they really knew we were Ghost Cultivators, they wouldn’t do such a thing. Isn’t this precisely our opportunity?"
Song Yan said, "If no third party is involved, this is indeed an opportunity."
He continued, speaking calmly, "During this time, I’ve been secretly investigating where the Void Ship of the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace went. Still, I haven’t found out yet."
Hua Xianggu understood and sneered, "The Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace is a giant entity. Even if they send people to the Rusted Sword Blood Abyss, it’s unlikely they would be after us.
Besides, those they send here wouldn’t be any top experts, and if truly pressured, we could directly throw ourselves into the Demon Mountain Star Realm.
I’ve heard that deep within the Demon Mountain Star Realm hides many evil demons, and the Cyan Nether Merchant Association can come up with so many Yin Qi Crystals, which shows that we Ghost Cultivators are organized. By then, let’s see who fears whom.
Evil and righteousness can’t stand together; those Sword Cultivators are eager to eliminate us completely, and naturally, we won’t let them off easily."
After saying this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Old Li, are you scared?"
Little Bell looked at her raising eyebrows and staring straight at Song Yan, somewhat displeased, feeling this Female Cultivator was seducing her man.
Song Yan said, "Sister Xianggu, I am scared."
Hua Xianggu was stunned.
Song Yan said, "Listen to me. Let’s make a decision after clearly sensing whether any third party has interfered in this Western Nether Realm."
Hua Xianggu said helplessly, "All right, all right, since you’re my good friend. I’ll listen to you, but I will send people out to gather information as well, surely you can’t stop them?"
Song Yan said, "I intend to stop them."
Little Bell looked at Song Yan in surprise, "Langjun, this is more than just being cautious..."
Song Yan said, "No one is allowed to act; stay hidden. If any accident occurs, preserve the important ones at the cost of the minor ones.
It doesn’t matter how many little Ghost Cultivators die, as long as Sister Xianggu, Brother Hanshan, me, Little Bell, and Little Wei’er, and Little Ice are unharmed."
Hua Xianggu, although she considered him a good friend, found this... too absurd. Clearly, this was a rare opportunity to turn the situation in their favor, so why... She immediately started arguing.
Song Yan had no basis, but he was determined to suppress it.
The two talked for a long time, and Hua Xianggu put on a tired posture, "Okay, okay, Old Li, I’m convinced, I’ll listen to you..."
After that, she furiously flicked her powder gauze skirt sleeve.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
The coffins on Skull Mountain all closed, locking each Ghost Cultivator inside.
Hua Xianggu shouted sternly, "Without Old Li’s nod, not a single ghost is allowed to leave here!!!"
After saying that, she gave a cold snort and slipped into a Yin Coffin. The coffin lid slowly closed, narrowing to the width of a finger. She looked out at Song Yan and said, "Old Li, I’ll wait for you to wake us up! Are you satisfied?
Xiao Hanshan also returned, and he will join the coffin!
Put this Secret Realm into a Qi Box and carry it with you. If you don’t call us, we won’t come out, are you satisfied? Satisfied?!"
Song Yan smiled, "Thank you, Sister Xianggu, for your trust. Once sister emerges from the coffin, I’ll treat you to something good."
Pa!
The Yin Coffin closed.
A month later...
Xiao Hanshan also returned. He looked at Song Yan guarding the realm, patted his shoulder and said, "Old Li, Sister Xianggu and I trust you greatly, but this time, I also think you’re too cautious. Alas, better safe than sorry, it’s good to listen to you too. These days, I’ve been stationed every day, just as well to return to the coffin for a rest, tough for you out here."
Pa!
Xiao Hanshan’s coffin closed too.
Song Yan left the Secret Realm, took out the Qi Box, and stored this Secret Realm inside.
In this way, he finally realized his dream from many years ago of "carrying a Secret Realm with him."
In the future, if he kills enemies, he can completely throw them into this Secret Realm to convert into Ghost Cultivators, provided he obtains enough Yin Qi Crystals.
