She added, "No matter what, you are my savior. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

The female cultivator lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Alright. Actually, I want to return to the ground from the secret realm. Because I was originally a ghost cultivator attracted by the aura of the Yin Spirit Spring, I entered the secret realm many years ago. Now that the Yin Spirit Spring has disappeared, there is no use for me staying here. I might as well return to the world to continue to look for opportunities."

"However, because of my special status as a ghost cultivator, if I return to the mortal world now, I will only be discovered and eliminated. So as long as you have an item like Soul-Nourishing Wood, you can take me out of the secret realm without being discovered."

Although the female cultivator said a lot, Lin Yitang easily grasped the loopholes in her words.

She interrupted the female cultivator and asked, "Wait, you just said that you entered the secret realm many years ago, but this secret realm has only just opened. I hadn't heard of the Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm opening many years ago. How were you able to enter when the secret realm was closed?"

The female ghost chuckled upon hearing this, admiring Lin Yitang's keen insight.

"The girl is indeed smart."

She slowly explained, "Actually, the reason I was able to enter this secret realm is because my ghost cultivation body is not bound by the laws of heaven and earth. I can conceal my form and aura, thus ignoring some conventional obstacles."

She paused, then continued, "Of course, entering such a secret realm is no easy task. Even with my concealment skills, I still need to rely on some special methods. I happen to be familiar with some spatial techniques, which allows me to find a gap in the secret realm and enter it."

The female ghost cultivator's gaze drifted into the distance, as if recalling that difficult past. "Even so, entering the secret realm is not without risk. The secret realm has its own protective power and will punish cultivators who do not meet the requirements. I was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage at the time, and it was only by chance that I was able to enter successfully."

Just then, Li Wuwang arrived. He had been fighting with the ghost cultivator, but after the ghost cultivator stopped attacking him, he anxiously came to see if his junior sister was in danger.

Seeing the scene before him, he asked anxiously, "Junior Sister, what happened? I was just fighting with those ghost cultivators when I suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy here, so I rushed over to save you. I didn't expect to find that the Ghost King had already been defeated, and those Foundation Establishment ghost cultivators who were besieging me were no longer attacking me. I'm suddenly safe."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yitang with concern and asked, "Junior Sister, are you alright? You seem to be injured?"

However, at that moment, the female ghost cultivator looked at Li Wuwang's face and suddenly exclaimed, "Li Wuwang!"

Li Wuwang was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked up at the female ghost cultivator and asked in confusion, "Senior, do you know me?"

He observed carefully for a while, then suddenly exclaimed, "Senior, could you be... Senior Sister Jiang?!"

The female ghost cultivator nodded: "I didn't expect you to still remember me."

Lin Yitang listened in stunned silence, never expecting that Li Wuwang would know this female ghost cultivator.

The female ghost cultivator seemed somewhat surprised as well, looking at Lin Yitang and asking, "Junior sister, are you also with Li Wuwang? From the Taique Sect?"

Seeing Li Wuwang nod in agreement, the female ghost cultivator was even more surprised. She carefully examined Lin Yitang's face, and the more she looked, the more familiar it seemed. She couldn't help but exclaim, "You are... Lin Yitang?"

This time, it was Lin Yitang's turn to be startled.

She was quite certain she had never seen this female ghost cultivator before, let alone knew her. After all, this was the first time she had ever met a ghost cultivator; how could she possibly know her?

But then I thought, this ghost cultivator came in from outside, so maybe he knew me before he died, or maybe he knew the original owner of the body, Lin Yitang.

So, Lin Yitang asked in confusion, "Senior, are you from the Taique Sect? Otherwise, how would you know me?"

The female ghost cultivator nodded and said, "That's right, I was indeed a disciple of the Taique Sect in my previous life, but I only saw you a few times on Danfu Peak. My name is Jiang Qiushuang, and I was originally an alchemist on Danfu Peak. During a training trip, I accidentally obtained a ghost cultivation technique."

At this point, Jiang Qiushuang's face darkened: "It's a pity that I was framed by a villain and died outside the sect! If it weren't for that bitch Ye Qiuli's underhanded tactics, I wouldn't have died young!"

Lin Yitang, who was listening from the side, was shocked. She never expected that Jiang Qiushuang was actually killed by Ye Qiuli before she died!

She was already aware of Ye Qiuli's actions, knowing that she would persecute her fellow disciples to consolidate her position. But she never expected that even the talented female cultivators on Danfu Peak, whose cultivation was far superior to hers, would not be spared.

Lin Yitang's face darkened as she recalled that when the original owner was a child, there was indeed a famous and talented female cultivator on Danfu Peak. Later, it was said that she died during her training, and no one paid any attention to her anymore.

It turned out that he had died at the hands of Ye Qiuli.

He sneered inwardly. Sure enough, Ye Qiuli treated all the female cultivators around her equally, rejecting them all. She was willing to do anything to get rid of these potential threats.

The current state of Danfu Peak is inextricably linked to Ye Qiuli. The reason why Danfu Peak is in such a sorry state, with very few disciples making it into the top 100 of the outer sect competition and no geniuses who can rival Lin Yitang, is actually because Ye Qiuli has squeezed out many female cultivators, greatly reducing the number of geniuses.

Her actions directly led to Danfu Peak now being inferior to even Qiandao Peak! Yuheng Zhenjun, who allowed Ye Qiuli to act recklessly, personally pushed Danfu Peak into the abyss of decline.

Ultimately, the strength of a peak depends on the number of geniuses within it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yitang's eyes turned icy. Ye Qiuli, a person who inexplicably harbors hostility towards others, would be a menace in any sect. She would avenge the severing of her path to immortality sooner or later.

Jiang Qiushuang, on the other side, spoke with increasing rage in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "My biggest regret in this life is that I was too soft-hearted back then and didn't kill that bitch Ye Qiuli directly! I even treated her as my junior sister, but she actually instigated her senior brother to kill me and took all the spiritual artifacts and magical treasures from me!"

"Ye Qiuli, I have no grudge against you, why did you harm me! I will not rest until I have torn you to pieces!"

Li Wuwang, standing to the side, was unaware of the feud between the two and Ye Qiuli; he was still immersed in the joy of meeting an acquaintance.

He said excitedly, "Senior Sister Jiang, I didn't expect it to really be you! It's fortunate that I met you in the secret realm, otherwise Junior Sister Lin and I would probably be in danger. You truly deserve to be the former senior sister of Danfu Peak, your strength is superb!"

Jiang Qiushuang glanced at Li Wuwang indifferently and said in a calm tone, "No need to be so polite. We are all from the same sect, it's only right."

However, Li Wuwang seemed to have opened a floodgate of words and began to talk at length about what Senior Sister Jiang had done in the past.
