Fengguo, Youquan Lake.

When Zhou Chun revisited this renowned Land of Yin Fiend within Fengguo's borders, he gazed at the fog-shrouded lake surface, feeling quite emotional.

During the war between immortals and demons, he had also fought the Demon Element Army here, defeating strong enemies.

Now, centuries later, this battlefield, which once buried countless cultivators, has become a forbidden land where no living person dares to enter.

Because the Yin Fiend Earth Vein beneath Youquan Lake is extremely powerful, forcibly destroying it could turn a thousand-mile radius into a wasteland. Even knowing that leaving this place intact could become a breeding ground for demon cultivators, the Heavenly Spirit Alliance chose not to destroy it after the war ended.

However, the most powerful force in Fengguo today, the Jingyang Sect, sends a Golden Elixir Elder here every few years to survey the area and eliminate any demon cultivators attempting to hide and cultivate.

Meanwhile, the Jingyang Sect and other forces in Fengguo issue specific missions for patrolling Youquan Lake, having disciples come to clear naturally spawned ghosts and demon cultivators trying to cultivate in secret.

Zhou Chun stood above Youquan Lake, looking down, still able to see some cultivators battling with spectral ghosts within.

But because he intentionally concealed his figure, those juniors who haven't even reached the Purple Mansion Phase naturally couldn't see his presence.

And he had no interest in watching these juniors' antics, soon quietly descending into Youquan Lake, diving straight to the lake bottom.

At the bottom of Youquan Lake, there is a Yin Fiend Spring Eye where the Energy of Yin Fiend is exceptionally dense. Even a Golden Core Stage cultivator staying nearby for long risks becoming possessed.

But at that moment, a tall figure sat cross-legged beside the spring eye.

When Zhou Chun also approached the spring eye, the figure immediately looked up at him.

"Taoist Friend Zhou is indeed trustworthy; it seems I have not misjudged you,"

By the Yin Fiend Spring Eye, Tianjing True Person looked at Zhou Chun, who had arrived as promised, a flash of golden light in his eyes, his voice filled with a sense of relief.

And Zhou Chun responded indifferently, "Zhou Mou has always kept his word. Since I promised Taoist Friend Tianjing back then, I certainly won't go back on my word now."

He then looked at him and asked, "Are you sure you really want to do this, Taoist Friend Tianjing? Even if you risk your life, you may not be able to harm him at all!"

Hearing this, Tianjing True Person was only silent for a brief moment before looking at him with a determined tone, "Back then, did Taoist Friend Zhou have absolute confidence when facing three Flood Dragon Kings alone?"

Seemingly not expecting this question, Zhou Chun hesitated slightly, then gently nodded, "Zhou Mou understands. If so, I will fulfill my promise and strive to create an appropriate opportunity for you!"

"That will be enough!"

Tianjing True Person nodded satisfied, then detailed his plan with Zhou Chun.

After the two conspired for a while, Zhou Chun temporarily left Youquan Lake and hid in a place outside.

At the bottom of Youquan Lake, Tianjing True Person took out the Ghost-Faced Token exchanged from Zhou Chun back then and directly activated this treasure to start transforming into the Ghost Cultivation Method.

Being a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and having obtained the Ghost Cultivation Method from Zhou Chun years ago, he had long comprehended its cultivation method and even practiced some ghost cultivation secret techniques.

With the Ghost-Faced Token's assistance and the Yin Attribute Spirit Medicine minerals exchanged from Zhou Chun supporting him, his transformation into a ghost cultivator was naturally smooth and easy.

When Tianjing True Person completely transformed into a ghost cultivator, a fierce wind howled above Youquan Lake, and countless ghosts wailed, displaying a very unusual phenomenon.

This phenomenon instantly caught the attention of the cultivators practicing in Fengguo.

Unfortunately, before they could discover the phenomenon and escape in time, the cautious Tianjing True Person instantly captured them all to ensure secrecy.

At the same time, at the very moment Tianjing True Person transformed into a ghost cultivator, Ziyang True Person in the Sunflame Sect suddenly felt something and hastily took out a purple-black token from his storage pouch.

Only to see the God-Forbidding Talisman, capable of enslaving a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, having its sealed primordial spirit source rapidly dissipating.

Then, under Ziyang True Person's incredibly shocked gaze, it quickly dissipated completely, leaving not a trace of its aura!

"What is going on? Why has Tianjing suddenly fallen! Who did this!!"

He exclaimed in shock and disbelief, a tumult of emotions surging within him.

At any time, the fall of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator is no small matter; it's an event significant enough to shake a nation!

Although Tianjing True Person didn't belong to the Sunflame Sect, he was at least a top enforcer at Ziyang True Person's command.

Now with this enforcer suddenly falling, his heart was filled with unspeakable pain.

"Could it be that Zhou Family kid's handiwork?"

He steadied himself, first listing Zhou Chun as a suspect.

Then, with a grim expression, he said, "No, we must immediately send someone to investigate this matter!"

Saying this, he urgently messaged Xiao Sheng, the sect leader of the Sunflame Sect, instructing him to have sect disciples promptly gather intelligence to see where a battle involving a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator occurred.

However, since Tianjing True Person did not die in a battle, such measures naturally yielded no useful information.
