She ferociously smashed its forehead open. Frustration filled Bai Ya’s face, and an unnatural red light gleamed in her eyes. Seeing this, Chen Jiuge let out a Lion Roar, pulling Bai Ya’s consciousness back.
"Bai Ya, take a rest for now. Control these resurrected Beiming Clan members; don’t kill them directly. I want to see just how many more will appear."
The number of controlled Beiming Clan members had already surpassed the number previously killed, even though there wasn’t a single True Immortal among these resurrected ones.
Hundreds more Beiming Clan members appeared. Chen Jiuge swept the area with his Divine Sense, a trace of astonishment on his face. "How is this possible? They are exactly the same!"
Indeed, this batch of resurrected Beiming Clan members was identical to a portion of those previously controlled—whether it be their aura, Cultivation, or even the sound of their voices.
"What on earth is this?" Chen Jiuge’s expression was extremely grim.
Chen Jiuge had already tried changing locations, but these resurrected Beiming Clan members, as if fixated on him, rushed toward him the moment they revived, without any pause.
Watching Yang Huan struggling to tie up the Beiming Clan members, Chen Jiuge spoke sternly, "Don’t bother tying them up anymore. Just kill them. And by the way, go bring me the Clan Leader of the Lotus Clan."
The icy Dagger slit the throat of a Beiming Clan member. A look of grim satisfaction appeared on Yang Huan’s face. "Alright," he said.
Reclining leisurely on a lotus leaf, Da Bai said with boredom, "How much longer now?"
He Shan said, a thoughtful expression on his face, "If we can hold out, it will take just one month to eliminate this batch of the Beiming Clan."
"One month?" Da Bai exclaimed incredulously. Is this old fellow blind? Can’t he see all those Beiming Clan members are already dead?

Yang Huan’s figure slowly solidified. His eyes, filled with killing intent, bore down on He Shan. His tone was unfriendly as he asked, "You’re the Clan Leader of the Lotus Clan, right?"
The green lotus leaf around He Shan’s neck trembled. He felt a chill run down his spine as he stammered, "You... you... what do you want?"
"You’re the Clan Leader, right? Then there’s no mistake." Yang Huan grabbed the lotus pod on He Shan’s head and quickly disappeared.
"Don’t grab my little head! It hurts!"
Da Bai and Tian Que exchanged a glance, sensing something amiss, and hurriedly followed.
The hazy, large face of the Lotus Clan’s Old Ancestor quietly emerged, muttering with a hint of desolation, What exactly is this ’Infinite’?
If only our Lotus Clan possessed Infinite...
Thrown to the ground, He Shan let out a pained grunt and complained, "I told you, don’t grab my little head! It’ll kill this lotus!"
"Tell me, what’s going on here?" Chen Jiuge demanded, pointing toward the black lake nearby.
"Yeah, you mercenaries came here just for the Infinite Great Divine Power, right?" He Shan said nonchalantly.
"First, tell me the current situation."
He Shan stroked his grizzled beard and explained, "Infinite is a Great Divine Power, and a very miraculous one at that. There was once a pseudo-Immortal who, relying on this Divine Skill, managed to kill an Immortal in a direct confrontation. That’s how it gained fame."
"That pseudo-Immortal who controlled the Infinite Divine Power was quite a character. He chose death over revealing its secrets, self-destructing on the spot. Coincidentally, he was from the Beiming Clan."
"Unfortunately for us, the Lotus Clan lives right next to the Beiming Clan. Luckily, we’re nominally vassals of the Netherworld King Clan, so those people can only come as mercenaries, constantly instigating conflict between our two clans."
"And so it turned into this: constant warfare."
"Stop, stop, stop! I asked you to explain this current resurrection phenomenon," Chen Jiuge interrupted the incessantly chattering old man.
"Oh, that... I don’t know. I just know that this resurrection will last a month. As long as we endure for a month, this batch of Beiming Clan members will be truly dead. Of course, Beiming Clan members who appeared before will reappear, but they will no longer consider you enemies. Then, it will be over," He Shan explained.
"A month?" Chen Jiuge’s mouth twitched. Given the current situation, a month will be rather difficult.
A resounding Lion Roar directly blasted the newly resurrected Beiming Clan members into a pile of fragments. "These demonic things are truly disgusting!" Li Kui said irritably.
"Isn’t there any other way?"
"There might be, actually," He Shan said hesitantly.
"That would be to enter the Land of Infinite. I’ve heard that if one can defeat the ’Person of Infinite’ within, not only can this death cycle be broken, but one can also obtain the Infinite Great Divine Power."
"It’s just that... it seems no one has ever succeeded since ancient times," He Shan stammered.
A shadowy figure materialized before Chen Jiuge. It was Ming Huayu.
"Is this why you didn’t tell me?" Chen Jiuge sneered.
Ming Huayu revealed a seductive smile. "I was just afraid you’d run away, see?" she said.
"How laughable! Even if I truly enter the Land of Infinite and obtain the Infinite Great Divine Power, why on earth would I give it to you?" Chen Jiuge said, his expression darkening.
"Qu Changlin, the live-in son-in-law of the Myriad Beasts Sect, is our Netherworld King Clan’s Prince Consort."
"He recently proposed that the Netherworld King Clan should absorb the Myriad Beasts Sect. He spoke at length about the Myriad Beasts Sect’s merits, such as its many rare Spiritual Beasts and abundant resources. He even revealed information he knew about Immortals, you know?" Ming Huayu said, a smile playing on her lips.
Impossible! was Chen Jiuge’s immediate reaction.
A recording materialized, showing an imposing and handsome figure speaking eloquently in a solemn, black grand hall. Seated at the head was the Netherworld King.
Eyes like black jewels seemed to pierce through time and space, pulling Chen Jiuge into a pitch-black world.
