To speed things up, she alternated between Water Release and Earth Release techniques, giving it her all and trying to go as fast as possible.

In an instant, her figure flashed past like a gust of wind, so fast that all that could be seen was a blur, leaving only the whistling sound of the wind behind her. She disappeared from one place in a flash and reappeared in another.

A Foundation Establishment stage ghost cultivator, with a withered body, empty eyes, and a chilling aura emanating from him.

It wielded a jet-black longsword, its blade wreathed in eerie black energy. With a swift movement, it spotted Lin Yitang and attacked her rapidly. The sword flashed, creating a piercing whistling sound, and the aura of a ghost cultivator surrounded it.

However, just as it struck, Lin Yitang's figure suddenly vanished from the spot. The ghost cultivator's sword missed its mark, leaving only a lingering afterimage.

A hint of confusion appeared on its empty face, as if it did not understand how Lin Yitang had disappeared.

Lin Yitang didn't even glance at it, as if it didn't exist at all.

Her figure moved like lightning, quickly passing by the ghost cultivators and heading straight for the Yin Spirit Spring. Her speed was unbelievable; none of the Foundation Establishment stage ghost cultivators could hit her, and she instantly disappeared from their sight.

While moving quickly, she dodged the attacks of the ghost cultivators. After consuming 30% of her spiritual energy, Lin Yitang finally entered the area of ​​the Yin Spirit Spring.

Upon entering this area, the surrounding environment underwent a noticeable change. A faint spiritual energy permeated the air, invigorating the spirit. The weeds on the ground became lush and verdant, and occasionally, clusters of vibrant spiritual flowers could be seen.

The terrain in the distance seemed to become clearer, and the entire underground world was like a secluded paradise, seemingly a karst landscape. The overall atmosphere was peaceful and serene, forming a stark contrast to the bloody storms outside the spiritual spring.

Just as the original text described, no ghost cultivator dared to approach this area. Without exception, all the Qi Refining stage ghost cultivators stopped outside the circle. Only a few Foundation Establishment stage ghost cultivators were able to venture a little deeper, but they only observed from afar and dared not approach rashly.

From a distance, the Yin Spirit Spring appears to be surrounded by an invisible barrier, isolating most of the ghost cultivators.

Looking at the Yin Spirit Spring emanating a chilling aura before her, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, her heart filled with a slight excitement.

Surrounded by so many ghost cultivators, she actually managed to reach the Yin Spirit Spring with just the two of them, which was no easy feat, even more difficult than the female protagonist Ye Qiuli's.

In the original text, Ye Qiuli arrived with a group of senior brothers protecting her. Regardless of whether her strength could reach Li Wuwang's level, she was at least in the mid-to-late stage of Foundation Establishment.

In this respect, she has already surpassed the female lead. After all, according to the original description of Ye Qiuli's strength, she should not have been able to go to the Yinling Spring alone and reach it successfully.

Lin Yitang reached into her storage bag and took out an exquisite spirit bottle. The bottle was completely transparent and shimmered with a faint light. This was a bottle she specially used to hold the spirit spring water, which could preserve the purity and potency of the spring water to the greatest extent.

Just as she was about to put the spirit bottle into the spring, a violent tremor suddenly came, and the whole earth shook.

Lin Yitang's expression changed, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

She looked up and saw a huge vortex suddenly appear above the Yin Spirit Spring, as black as ink and bottomless. Terrifying suction forces emanated from the vortex, as if it would devour everything.

Lin Yitang quickly circulated her spiritual energy to stabilize herself. Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out of the vortex at an unbelievable speed.

The figure charged directly at Lin Yitang, radiating murderous intent, determined to kill her.

Lin Yitang couldn't see who it was at all, but she felt a powerful aura rushing towards her. She squinted in the sand and dust, channeling her spiritual power. The spiritual blade in her hand flashed with dazzling light as she slashed towards the figure.

However, to her surprise, the figure was even faster than her! Before her blade could reach her, the figure had already appeared in front of her and struck her with a palm.

The palm strike was fierce, carrying overwhelming power, shattering everything in its path.

Lin Yitang only had time to hold the knife horizontally in front of her chest. The next second, she felt a tightness in her chest, her blood surging, and she was sent flying backward by the palm strike, crashing heavily to the ground with a muffled groan.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face ashen white. The force of that palm strike was simply too great, bringing unprecedented pressure.

She was secretly alarmed. This person was probably at least at the Golden Core stage, and the intensity of his attack was almost on par with Zhao Qianyue's before. Moreover, he wasn't an ordinary Golden Core cultivator. After all, Zhao Qianyue was from the Tianxuan Sect, and to be able to compare with a Golden Core cultivator from the Tianxuan Sect meant he was far stronger than ordinary cultivators!

Lin Yitang endured the pain and stole a glance at the figure during a break in the attack.

This sight sent a chill down her spine.

That was also a ghost cultivator, but much more powerful than the previous ones.

It was tall and jet black, like a moving statue. Its eyes emitted an eerie red light, and the black aura surrounding it was so dense that it was almost tangible.

Isn't this the strongest guardian of the Yin Spirit Spring mentioned in the original text?

In that instant, Lin Yitang's heart grew even colder.

She recalled the description in the original text: this ghost cultivator was the lord who ruled over all the ghost cultivators in this area, and could be called the Ghost King. His strength was comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

In the original text, after Ye Qiuli and the others obtained the spiritual spring, they encountered this powerful ghost cultivator. Although they had already obtained the spiritual spring, they still suffered heavy losses in the face of this ghost cultivator's pursuit.

The ghost cultivator possessed immense power. Ye Qiuli and the others were almost unable to withstand it and could only desperately flee. However, the ghost cultivator relentlessly pursued them, like a persistent leech, making it impossible for them to escape.

During their pursuit, they faced numerous perilous situations and nearly lost their lives several times. If it weren't for Ye Qiuli's exceptional resourcefulness in using a large number of magical treasures and formations to buy time, they would likely have perished long ago.

Finally, after countless hardships, they managed to escape this place. But the battle had severely damaged their strength, and it took them several months to recover.

Now, Lin Yitang is facing this powerful ghost cultivator.

A deep sadness welled up in her heart.

Unlike Ye Qiuli in the original story, she encountered such a powerful enemy before even reaching the edge of the Yin Spirit Spring. Her luck was simply unbelievable!

Not only that, the Ghost King stared at Lin Yitang with hatred in his eyes, and even spoke in human language, asking in an icy tone:

"Who are you? What is your purpose here? Do you perhaps want to seize the opportunity of my Yin Spirit Spring?"

Its voice was calm, yet it carried a powerful spiritual pressure. Black energy surrounded it, rising and falling with its breath, threatening to erupt at any moment and obliterate the person before it.

Lin Yitang felt a powerful aura rushing towards her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. Her heart raced instantly, and cold sweat streamed down her forehead.
