Fortunately, Shen Bing and Shen Xue also had fragments of Ling'er within them.
Ling'er sensed the direction of the fragments and used spatial teleportation, bringing Zheng Dong along to pursue them.
They saw two totem-level undead creatures leading Shen Bing and Shen Xue away from the ghost market.
They were fleeing towards the Soul Suppression Tower.
The Soul Suppression Tower was the tallest ghost tower in the Nether Ghost King Realm, with a total of one hundred and eight floors, each thirty-three feet high.
Ming Cheng was stationed at the Soul Suppression Tower.
However, the Soul Suppression Tower was located to the south of the Nether Ghost King Realm, a considerable distance from the Savage Hall.
Even totem-level undead creatures would find it difficult to reach it quickly.
However, the followers of the Nether Ghost King God, for convenience in moving throughout the Nether Ghost King Realm, had secretly constructed spatial teleportation arrays in various locations.
Entering a teleportation array allowed one to quickly arrive at the Soul Suppression Tower.
A spatial teleportation array was built on Dry Bone Mountain, not far from the ghost market.
When Zheng Dong caught up, the two totem-level undead creatures were nearing the foot of Dry Bone Mountain.
Sensing the spatial fluctuations, the two totem-level undead creatures also turned to look at Zheng Dong.
Seeing that Zheng Dong was merely a legendary beast tamer, their eyes immediately showed greed, and they couldn't help but lick their tongues.
They were not only unafraid of Zheng Dong but also viewed him as a delicacy.
"Fresh flesh must taste good!" the Purgatory Werewolf exclaimed.
The Purgatory Werewolf had a human body and a wolf's head, its entire being wreathed in purgatorial flames.
A totem-level Purgatory Werewolf stood over two meters tall, its sharp fangs gleaming with an eerie light.
It threw Shen Bing and Shen Xue to the ground and attacked Zheng Dong along with another undead creature, the Nether Ghost Fire Crow.
The Purgatory Werewolf unleashed its ultimate skill, Soul Chasing Claw.
A colossal, pitch-black claw, obscuring the sky, descended from above, seemingly intending to tear Zheng Dong to shreds.
This also enraged the Nether Ghost Fire Crow.
"Hey, you idiot, if you smash them, how are we supposed to eat? Let me!"
The Nether Ghost Fire Crow flapped its wings, and a gust of spectral wind blew out, immediately causing one to feel bone-chilling cold and goosebumps.
Subsequently, the skin would crack and peel, a fate akin to slow slicing.
"Idiot, I prefer to eat them with the skin on," the Purgatory Werewolf cursed.
Unfortunately, before their attacks could land on Zheng Dong, they were all blocked by the totem-level Light and Dark Elementals released by Ling'er.
The Light Elemental, possessing the Orb of Light, had matured into a totem-level being earlier than the Dark Elemental and had a more solid foundation, thus its strength was naturally greater.
While the Light and Dark Elementals jointly held off the Purgatory Werewolf and the Nether Ghost Fire Crow, Zheng Dong reached Shen Bing and Shen Xue and woke them up.
After being suppressed, they had been knocked unconscious and were completely incapable of resisting.
Even when Zheng Dong woke them, their eyes were still somewhat vacant, and it took them a while to recover.
"Zheng Dong, you saved us again!" Shen Xue said excitedly.
"Are you two alright? Auntie is still dealing with three other totem-level undead creatures," Zheng Dong asked.
Shen Bing and Shen Xue both shook their heads.
"We're fine. What do we do? Mom definitely can't hold off three totem-level undead creatures."
"Don't worry too much. Wei Yi and the others are rushing over, so Auntie should be fine," Zheng Dong continued.
Afterward, he planned to join the fray with the Light and Dark Elementals to quickly deal with the Purgatory Werewolf and the Nether Ghost Fire Crow.
Zheng Dong had Ling'er release more Elementals.
This included the Overlord-level Fire and Wind Elementals.
These two Fire and Wind Elementals were only a step away from reaching the totem level.
Zheng Dong had also secured legendary-level resources for them from the Fire God Sect.
However, they had not yet broken through.
Facing the attacks of numerous Elementals, the Purgatory Werewolf and the Nether Ghost Fire Crow also felt pressure.
They were the weakest among the five totems.
However, their speed allowed them to take Shen Bing and Shen Xue back to the Soul Suppression Tower.
As for who would ultimately be chosen as the vessel for the Nether Ghost King God, it depended on which of Shen Bing and Shen Xue was more suitable.
The one eliminated would naturally be executed.
At this moment, the Purgatory Werewolf had a sharp tooth knocked out by the Light Elemental, and it couldn't help but yelp:
"Idiot, you can't hold them off, don't drag me down!"
The Nether Ghost Fire Crow said impatiently:
"You're the one who's stupid, and you're blaming me!"
The Nether Ghost Fire Crow was more cunning. Knowing it was no match for the Light Elemental, it seized the opportunity to switch opponents with the Purgatory Werewolf.
It avoided the Light Elemental's attacks and faced the Dark Elemental.
The Purgatory Werewolf was forced to confront the Light Elemental's attacks and was caught off guard.
The two sides exchanged blows repeatedly.
The Purgatory Werewolf lost many teeth.
Its teeth were so sharp that each one could be used to forge a knife.
The Purgatory Werewolf couldn't help but unleash its quasi-divine skill, Wolf God Salutes the Moon.
"Bastard, you keep hitting me in the face, I'll fight you to the death."
A faint moonlight shone upon the Purgatory Werewolf.
The Purgatory Werewolf's body rapidly swelled as if being inflated.
In an instant, it became three to four times larger than the Light Elemental.
Behind it, a phantom image of a wolf god flickered in and out of existence.
It seemed to be roaring at the blood moon in the sky.
The Purgatory Werewolf's attack power also surged severalfold.
However, the Light Elemental was not to be trifled with.
The Light Elemental, in its angelic form, had a cold glint in its eyes.
Similarly, it unleashed its quasi-divine skill, Angelic Divine Arrow.
It drew its hands apart, and a bow and arrow made of light elemental energy appeared.
The dazzling light instantly blinded all undead creatures below the totem level.
An arrow condensed from light elemental energy was shot out.
It directly pierced the Purgatory Werewolf's chest.
Without giving the Purgatory Werewolf any chance to react.
The Purgatory Werewolf deflated like a pricked balloon.
Soon, the Purgatory Werewolf returned to its original form.
However, it became even weaker than before.
Its eyes were filled with fear of the Light Elemental.
"Idiot, I can't hold on anymore, let's go!" the Purgatory Werewolf said to the Nether Ghost Fire Crow.
The Nether Ghost Fire Crow, however, shook its head firmly.
"For our great God Lord, the Nether Ghost King God, how can we flee? Once Bing Jing Ghost Tiger and the others arrive, they can naturally deal with these beast tamers."
The Purgatory Werewolf nodded and gritted its teeth, trying its best to resist the Light Elemental's attacks.
However, it couldn't hold on for long.
Its chest was pierced by the Light Elemental's hand, and its heart was grabbed.
Immediately, to the Purgatory Werewolf's utter disbelief, the Light Elemental crushed its heart.
"Idiot, save me!" the Purgatory Werewolf cried out.
But upon seeing the miserable state of the Purgatory Werewolf, the Nether Ghost Fire Crow did not hesitate, flapped its wings, and fled in a hurry.
"Bastard, why are you running!" the Purgatory Werewolf roared.
However, the Nether Ghost Fire Crow did not stop or pay any attention to the Purgatory Werewolf.
*You are the idiot. If I lose my life, how can I still believe in our great God Lord, the Nether Ghost King God.*
Seeing the Nether Ghost Fire Crow flee.
Zheng Dong did not have the Dark Elemental pursue it. Instead, he had it join the Light Elemental to deal with the Purgatory Werewolf.
Subsequently, the Dark Elemental unleashed its ultimate skill, and a giant hand emerged from the ground, grabbing the Purgatory Werewolf's legs and attempting to tear them off.
The Light Elemental, seeing the Dark Elemental trying to steal its kill, increased its attack power and punched the Purgatory Werewolf's head.
With a bang, the Purgatory Werewolf's iron-hard head exploded like a watermelon.
At the same time, its legs were also torn off by the Dark Elemental.
To its death, the Purgatory Werewolf never understood why it was abandoned by the Nether Ghost Fire Crow.
After dealing with the Purgatory Werewolf.
Zheng Dong had Ling'er use the location of the fragment as coordinates and used spatial teleportation to bring Shen Bing and Shen Xue back to the temple quickly, preparing to help Shen Jiuxiao.
Shen Jiuxiao was seen injured, with disheveled hair and sharp, hateful eyes, ferociously attacking Bing Jing Ghost Tiger and other totems.
Additionally, Wei Yi and others had also arrived.
Not long after Zheng Dong went to pursue the Purgatory Werewolf and the Nether Ghost Fire Crow, Wei Yi and the others received the news and rushed over.
Otherwise, Shen Jiuxiao would not have been able to hold on until now.
Seeing Shen Jiuxiao's miserable state, Shen Bing and Shen Xue also quickly intervened.
Fortunately, upon seeing Shen Bing and Shen Xue, Shen Jiuxiao quickly regained her composure.
*Good boy, I wasn't wrong about you.*
Zheng Dong, however, frowned.
He looked at a pet summoned by Shen Jiuxiao, the Abyssal Merman Monster.
He remembered clearly that this pet had nearly killed him in a hotel in the Silver City District of Modu.
Spirit God Cult?!
Zheng Dong was shocked, not expecting that Shen Bing and Shen Xue's mother was someone from the Spirit God Cult who had chased him before.
Could it be that the Origin Fruit he ate belonged to Shen Jiuxiao?
Shen Jiuxiao's strength was also considered very formidable.
She herself possessed the Undying Nether Phoenix bloodline. Besides contracting the Abyssal Merman Monster, she had also contracted a totem-level Nether Barbarian Phoenix above her level.
It was precisely because of this Nether Barbarian Phoenix that Shen Jiuxiao was initially able to withstand the attacks of Bing Jing Ghost Tiger and two other totem-level undead creatures.
The undead creatures like Bing Jing Ghost Tiger were also surprised to see Zheng Dong bring back Shen Bing and Shen Xue.
"Damn it, what are the Purgatory Werewolf and the Nether Ghost Fire Crow doing? They can't even keep two people in check," Bing Jing Ghost Tiger cursed.
The longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
After all, this place was close to the Savage Hall, and soon many ghost envoys would arrive.
If they wanted to escape, they might not be able to.
"Attack with all your might, capture the targets, and withdraw quickly!" Bing Jing Ghost Tiger commanded.
As the leader of this operation, it could command the other two totem-level undead creatures.
Immediately, they tacitly abandoned their respective opponents and attacked Shen Jiuxiao simultaneously.
Shen Jiuxiao's Abyssal Merman Monster and several other pets were all knocked to the ground.
Only the Nether Barbarian Phoenix could still hold on under Bing Jing Ghost Tiger's attack.
Then, they attacked Shen Jiuxiao again.
Shen Jiuxiao used the power of the Undying Nether Phoenix to fight back desperately.
However, she could only fend off one totem-level undead creature.
The other totem-level undead creature still reached for Shen Bing and Shen Xue.
Shen Bing and Shen Xue wanted to resist.
Unfortunately, the gap in strength was too large, and they were completely unable to resist.
At this moment, Zheng Dong used spatial teleportation and appeared before them.
The undead creature attacking them did not stop.
A hint of mockery flashed in its eyes.
*With this kind of strength, you still want to play hero to save the damsel? You're just asking for death.*
It thought Zheng Dong was just an ordinary legendary-level beast tamer and could not possibly block its attack.
Unfortunately, the next second it was stunned.
Zheng Dong utilized the power of Ling'er and Youyou, along with his own formidable body, to completely block its attack.
Zheng Dong wanted to test the results of his cultivation this time.
Therefore, he did not rush to release the totem-level Light and Dark Elementals.
A phantom image of a deathly tower appeared faintly on Zheng Dong's body.
Countless vines emerged from his fingers, blocking the punch of this totem-level undead creature.
This was a Purgatory Titan.
It had only recently become totem-level, and its attack power was slightly stronger than the Purgatory Werewolf.
Zheng Dong's physical strength was completely comparable to that of a totem-level extraordinary creature.
Coupled with the Overlord-level Youyou and Ling'er, he could still block a punch from a totem-level Purgatory Titan.
However, this punch caused Zheng Dong's blood and qi to churn, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
*Is this the power wielded by totem-level beings?*
*Indeed, it is very strong.*
At the totem level, the control over elemental energy had reached its peak. Upon reaching the quasi-divine level, one could touch upon elemental laws.
In other words, below the divine level, it was a competition of the accumulation and control of elemental energy.
The stronger the control, the greater the elemental energy mobilized.
The greater the attack power unleashed.
Seeing that Zheng Dong had blocked its attack, not only was the totem-level Purgatory Titan surprised.
Bing Jing Ghost Tiger and the other undead creatures were also astonished.
*This beast tamer is clearly only legendary-level, why is his body so strong?*
Bing Jing Ghost Tiger's eyes rolled as it decided to report upwards.
However, before reporting, it still had to complete the objective of this mission.
They unleashed even more ferocious attacks.
At this moment, Wei Yi and Professor Nong Xiu erupted.
Wei Yi summoned all her pets and activated the bloodline power of the Evil Spirit Banshee.
A strange power spread outwards like ripples.
Bing Jing Ghost Tiger immediately felt its blood uncontrollably boiling, as if it were about to leave its body.
It turned its head and glared fiercely at Wei Yi.
Wei Yi, however, did not take it to heart, her lips curling into a triumphant smile.
Bing Jing Ghost Tiger became enraged and swiped at Wei Yi with its claw.
But it was stopped by a furry foot.
Professor Nong Xiu had summoned his pet contracted above his level, the Overlord-level Savage Dragon Ape Emperor.
This was also Professor Nong Xiu's trump card.
Seeing the Savage Dragon Ape Emperor, Zheng Dong was also somewhat surprised.
*As expected, everyone sent by the Fire God Sect is not simple.*
The Savage Dragon Ape Emperor stomped on Bing Jing Ghost Tiger's claw and then kicked towards its head.
Bing Jing Ghost Tiger hastily dodged.
In the current situation, they could no longer complete the mission.
Without hesitation, it ordered a retreat.
It felt that although the mission had failed this time, it had at least managed to gauge the strength of Zheng Dong and the others.
Next time, with proper preparation, they would definitely capture their targets.
In addition, it also sensed that ghost envoys from the Savage Hall were heading this way.
Bing Jing Ghost Tiger fled without looking back.
It did not concern itself with the other two undead creatures.
The totem-level Purgatory Titan also fled in another direction without hesitation.
Unfortunately, Zheng Dong's actions were faster.
Zheng Dong had Ling'er release the Overlord-level Light and Dark Elementals to intercept the Purgatory Titan.
Then, the Light and Dark Elementals jointly suppressed the Purgatory Titan.
Zheng Dong then made his move, using the power of Youyou and Ling'er to deal with the Purgatory Titan, obtaining the Purgatory Titan's life crystal, the Titan's Heart.
Coupled with the Werewolf Blood Crystal obtained from dealing with the Purgatory Werewolf, it was not a wasted effort.
On the other side, with the help of Wei Yi and Professor Nong Xiu, Shen Jiuxiao's Nether Barbarian Phoenix also dealt with the last undead creature.
Throughout the entire process, Shi Qian did not do much.
Xiang Ru, the legendary figure, did not even show himself.
However, before they could finish clearing the battlefield, a squad of ghost envoys arrived.
