Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Chapter 579: Chapter 64: The Meticulous Valkyrie, The Overly Innocent Chen Lingyun_3

Xue Ren pondered carefully and couldn’t help but nod repeatedly. “Some low-level Evil Ghosts have died, so be it. As long as I can capture Yin Rou, I will become the strongest Ghost King in this Netherworld. Who else should I fear?”

“Hehehehe,” White Impermanence just scoffed, ready to counter, but then he heard Chen Lingyun say:

“Of course, Commander Bai has many Ghost Cultivators under his command. If they suffer heavy casualties in this war, those who survive will inevitably hold grudges against His Majesty. Your Majesty might also want to consider their feelings.”

“What’s there to worry about?” The moment the Ghost King Xue Ren heard Chen Lingyun mention “they might have complaints,” he immediately felt the displeasure of a superior being offended. His gaze towards White Impermanence turned even colder, “What, does Commander Bai not wish to send his subordinates to fight to their deaths because he thinks my mana is not as precious as their souls?”

“This subordinate wouldn’t dare.” Where could White Impermanence even begin to argue? He could only kneel quickly to show his submission, harboring increasing resentment towards Chen Lingyun in his heart.

What a naturally evil woman! With sweet-talking deceit, she beguiles His Majesty—her soul should be scattered and never enter reincarnation!

Xue Ren quickly ordered a fierce attack. Suddenly, a bird flew from behind, landing in front of everyone, and quickly transformed into a small demon, reporting:

“Report! Two human Cultivators have attacked Ghost Street! One of them is skilled in swordsmanship, and the other is an expert in the Thunder Method, their offensive is fierce, and we are no match—we have been driven back to the gates of the royal mansion, unable to stop them!”

“Damn it!” Xue Ren was shocked and angered upon hearing this, because all the Elixir Medicine, treasures, and scrolls of great importance that he had gathered throughout his life were all hidden in his royal mansion. How could he possibly allow it to be attacked? He immediately swept his sleeves and said:

“Commander Bai shall lead the next battlefield, and Daoist Chen will assist from the side. The two of you must not harbor any ill will against each other. As long as you cooperate fully to take down Paperman Square and capture and kill Ghost Mother Yin Rou, there will be great rewards from me! Otherwise, the Soul-Striking Whip in the mansion is not just for show!”

Having said that, he did not care about the situation on the battlefield and quickly flew off in a cloud.

White Impermanence climbed up from the ground and looked at Chen Lingyun with a sinister gaze, thinking this was going to be easy. As long as they could conquer Paperman Square before His Majesty returned, and then find any excuse to kill this weakling, blaming it on the chaos of the battlefield, there would be nothing His Majesty could say afterward.

Chen Lingyun had already guessed that it must be Xie Ruoxi and Lin Ning causing trouble on Evil Ghost Street, wreaking havoc and killing left and right, when she heard the small demon’s report.

The Ghost King being lured away was the strategy of drawing the tiger out of the mountain, so everything was going as planned, and it was time to move ahead.

She smiled sweetly at White Impermanence and stealthily clenched the Nine Heavens Yin Demon God Evil Bead in the sleeve of her left hand before speaking:

“Ghost Mother Yin Rou is still not showing herself. It seems she is determined to resist to the end. Since Commander Bai is worried about his subordinates’ casualties, why not send a select force to break through and attack the core of Paperman Square directly without engaging these human Cultivators? How does that sound?”

“Excellent.” White Impermanence naturally agreed wholeheartedly. After all, once Ghost Mother was taken down, this woman would have no value, “Then, please Daoist Chen, join us in the fray. Without your guidance, I’m afraid it will be difficult to capture the cunning Ghost Mother.”

“Can do,” Chen Lingyun responded radiantly, “but I must remind you that my cultivation is weak, and I will need Commander Bai’s protection indeed.”

If Yan Yu had been here, seeing Chen Lingyun’s insincere smile, he would have known that trouble was brewing for someone.

White Impermanence, of course, was unaware of the woman’s malicious intentions, and merely chuckled to himself for her seeming naivety and eagerness to seek death. He turned and selected about a dozen powerful Ghost Cultivators to form an elite decapitation squad, taking Chen Lingyun with them as they rode the dark clouds towards the depths of Paperman Square.
