Chapter 810 The Game Between Two Sides 1
"What's there to be afraid of? As long as we are careful enough and maximize the advantages of this treasure, it won't be noticed at all."

"However, this magic weapon is incomplete. It takes a long time to accumulate power before it can be used, which is very time-consuming."

"Hmph! Who can you blame? It's your own fault for not getting your hands on the Moon Gate and Ji Yuncheng's treasures, and instead letting others benefit from your efforts. You still don't know who has those two gates in your hands!"

A hoarse voice spoke, explaining the reason for their predicament, and the surrounding black-robed cultivators all fell silent.

At this moment, a similarly hoarse female voice said softly:
"Alright, stop arguing. Now is not the time for us to fight amongst ourselves. Since we have already alarmed the powerful beings of the Ghost Realm, we must be even more careful in our actions."

Mingyou, that old fox, is being extremely cautious this time. He actually swallowed his pride and sought help from the other four domains. The cultivators from these four domains are all on their way to the Ghost Domain. The timing and location of our next move will be crucial.

Previously, we only thought about using the 'gate' to capture more high-level ghost cultivators and send them to nurture the souls of evil gods, so we went to places close to the inner perimeter of the ghost realm.

Now we need to change our strategy and choose cities in the middle and outer perimeters. If we can't capture high-level ghost cultivators, we should capture more low-level ghost cultivators. With more of them, we can achieve the same goal.

Yesterday's operation went smoothly, catching Wunian City completely off guard. While the 'Gate' is gathering its strength, we should carefully choose our next target.

"Yes."

The female evil cultivator's words were the final word, restoring silence to the bottom of the "Abyss of Bliss".

A moment later, a white-headed black crow landed on a dead, charred branch protruding from the cliff face of "Paradise Abyss," cawed twice, and the next instant, a cloud of black mist shot out from the bottom of the cliff, carrying the white-headed black crow into the abyss, restoring peace to the surroundings.

Wunian City Lord's Mansion
Puyang sat in the main seat and first thanked the group. Then everyone began to discuss the clues they had found that day, hoping that everyone could brainstorm and find a way to track them down.

Master Wuwang was the first to speak:

"Amitabha! Today's investigation has confirmed that this was the work of evil cultivators, and they must have scouted the location beforehand, making sure the inn was full before taking action."

Ren Tianning shook the bell on her wrist, her beautiful light amber eyes looking at Wuwang and saying:
“Master, we have seen through what you said. What we need to find now is that elusive black hole. We need to be able to accurately determine the black hole’s next target city, otherwise we will always be one step behind.”

Yunxi agreed with Ren Tianning and nodded.

“The Holy Maiden is right, but the Ghost Realm is too vast, and there are many cities that could become the next target of the black hole. We have no basis for speculation, so it is difficult to make a judgment.”

In particular, the heretical cultivators seem to have realized something and have broken the previous patterns; the fact that Wunian City has become their target is a good example of this.

Although Xun Kun didn't speak, he nodded. Cao Yi just frowned, seemingly thinking of a solution.

Ren Tianning's eyes flickered and she said:

"Ranxi is right. We'd better turn the tables and attract the black hole to appear."

This idea coincided with Yunxi's, and she nodded in agreement. The next step was to set a trap to lure the other party in.

Everyone in the council chamber fell silent, seemingly pondering feasible plans. Pu Yang, holding his breath, also frowned in deep thought.

After a moment, Yunxi broke the deadlock and spoke:

"Lord of Puyang City, are there any powerful ghost cultivators who have a bad reputation, like to form couples, and whose partners die quickly?"

Yunxi phrased it rather tactfully, but the city lord of Puyang understood. She was asking if there were any old ghost cultivators who cultivated by devouring other ghost cultivators.

Although this method of cultivation is strictly prohibited in the Ghost Realm, the other party uses the form of forming a partnership to improve their cultivation, and the partner is willing, so others naturally cannot interfere.

Often, these old ghosts would offer certain benefits to make the other person willingly become their partner. After a while, when the matter was forgotten, the old ghost would say they had parted ways. Who could know where the other person went? As long as the partner left the old ghost's cave in full view of everyone, that was enough. No one would be watching someone else's cave every day, so some ghost cultivators had actually done this. Therefore, the City Lord of Puyang coughed lightly, his face somewhat embarrassed, and said:
“In the Ghost Realm, there is a ghost cultivator named Youming, nicknamed ‘The Ghost Who Loves to Die’. He has had at least seventy or eighty ghost cultivators who have been his partners. All of these ghost cultivators disappeared after leaving Youming’s territory. Moreover, he is indiscriminate in his relationships with both men and women, so he is notorious in the Ghost Realm.”

However, he was very self-aware and never provoked disciples of the major sects and families in the Ghost Realm. He mostly sought out rogue cultivators, whose cultivation levels were generally lower than his and who had no powerful backers. So far, he hadn't run into any trouble, and thus had cultivated peacefully to this point.

"Tsk tsk, they're really shameless."

Ren Tianning commented.

"He's switched to the path of ghosts, he doesn't even have a physical body anymore, what face does he still have?"

Yunxi replied with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes.

Puyang felt a sense of shame for having embarrassed himself in a foreign land, and then coughed lightly and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, what do you mean by asking about the 'joyful ghost'?"

"He might become bait to attract the appearance of a 'black hole'."

Yunxi replied earnestly.

"Appreciate further details."

The people present all pretended to listen attentively, and Ren Tianning seemed to understand Yunxi's purpose.

"Lord of Puyang City, may I ask what cultivation level this fellow Daoist Youming possesses?"

"Middle stage of virtual refining."

Where does he usually hide?

"He usually travels between the middle and outer perimeter of the Ghost Realm. He goes to the middle perimeter to exchange cultivation resources and to the outer perimeter to find a partner. He has not touched the interests of powerful ghost cultivators, which is why he has been able to survive until now."

To be honest, Puyang disdained this method of improving cultivation, but unfortunately, there were ghost cultivators who liked to take this shortcut.

Yunxi rubbed the storage bracelet on her wrist and said:

"Lord of Puyang City, can you bring him to Wunian City?"

"What does Fellow Daoist Ranxi wish to do?"

"Have him hold a grand marriage ceremony in Wunian City, invite as many of his cronies as possible, and ideally let the hidden evil cultivators know about it, then wait for the black hole to appear."

Yunxi's method was simple and direct: gather enough ghost cultivators to tempt the evil cultivators, and then lure them into the "black hole," making it easier for them to investigate.

"Amitabha! What if the heretical cultivator doesn't fall for it? Besides, the black hole just appeared in Wunian City, can you guarantee it will appear a second time?"

Wu Wang asked bluntly.

Yun Xi spread his hands and said:
"I can't guarantee anything, so we can only give it a try. So what if a black hole appeared in Wunian City? I don't believe those evil cultivators are unaware that we've made such a big show of entering the Ghost Realm. They'll be more cautious when choosing a city to attack next time, and the chances of them launching a surprise attack are very high."

They never repeated themselves to the same places before; what if they tried to do the opposite this time?

My darlings, I'm writing late today, so I'll just upload one chapter now, there's more to come.
