A faint spiritual sense swiftly swept over Wang Qingshan. His expression darkened, and he shouted, "Who's hiding there stealthily? Get out!"

He had traveled thousands of miles to the Northern Frontier to exterminate insects, and someone was secretly probing him with their spiritual sense, which greatly displeased him.

"Young friend Wang, your spiritual sense cultivation is quite good!"

A hearty male voice suddenly rang out. As soon as the words fell, the void twisted and distorted, and countless fiery lights instantly appeared, forming a red-robed elder with a ruddy complexion. There was no spiritual energy fluctuation on the elder's body.

This red-robed elder was Ye Yan, a Soul Transformation cultivator from Three Flames Palace, in the early stage of his transformation.

Wang Qingshan was startled at first, then quickly reacted. He immediately stood up and respectfully said, "This junior did not know of your esteemed presence and spoke presumptuously. I hope senior will forgive me."

He indeed didn't know it was a Soul Transformation cultivator. Who would have thought a Soul Transformation cultivator would intrude upon his residence without warning?

Just then, points of white light illuminated the void, revealing a benevolent-looking elder in white robes.

The white-robed elder had a fair complexion and stood perfectly straight, like a sharp sword still in its scabbard, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.

The white-robed elder was Liu Ye, a Soul Transformation cultivator from Taiyi Immortal Sect, and the grand-disciple of the Four Seasons Sword Venerable.

"Heh heh, Old Ghost Ye, I won! Your grand-disciple didn't discover me, but Nephew Wang discovered you." Liu Ye chuckled, teasing.

"I admit defeat. This Fire Phoenix Wood is yours." Ye Yan flipped his hand and took out a reddish piece of wood. The surface of the wood had a layer of crimson flame, as if it were burning, and the temperature in the room suddenly rose.

He tossed the wood to Liu Ye, who caught it, a look of triumph on his face.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qingshan understood the situation. He found it somewhat amusing; the two Soul Transformation cultivators were like playful old children.

"Disciple greets Grandmaster Liu."

Wang Qingshan quickly walked to Liu Ye and bowed respectfully. With the two Soul Transformation cultivators having arrived, matters would be much simpler.

Liu Ye scrutinized Wang Qingshan, a look of approval on his face. He said, "We meet again. It's truly rare and excellent that you proactively came to the Northern Frontier to exterminate insects. Unlike those mercenary individuals from the Southern Sea and Central Plains, who, despite such a major incident in the Northern Frontier, haven't bothered to send anyone to investigate. They don't even grasp such a simple principle as 'when the lips are gone, the teeth feel the cold'."

"Grandmaster Liu, you flatter me," Wang Qingshan said candidly. "This disciple also had personal motives. Immortal Caixian personally invited me, and the ten major sects of the Northern Frontier offered generous rewards to cultivators who contributed to insect extermination. That's why this disciple came to the Northern Frontier. If not for my Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt being unable to leave, they would also have come. Regardless, the Nether Spiders are a common enemy of human cultivators."

Liu Ye was somewhat amused and exasperated; he hadn't expected Wang Qingshan to be so honest.

"Haha, frankly speaking, I like this young man's temperament. He's unpretentious, much better than those hypocritical fellows." Ye Yan let out a hearty laugh, a deep look of appreciation in his eyes.

"Senior Ye, you flatter me. This junior is not worthy of such praise." Wang Qingshan said modestly, his expression respectful.

He certainly wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Soul Transformation cultivators. Liu Ye and Ye Yan were both his seniors; they could be unrestrained, but Wang Qingshan could not.

"We've heard from Nephew Song. It's fortunate that you all blocked the Nether Spiders' attack. You did very well. Now that we two old fellows have arrived, we naturally won't let the Nether Spiders wreak havoc any longer." Ye Yan's tone was full of confidence. The Nether Spiders were mutating and could no longer be ignored.

"Nephew Wang, tomorrow, you and Young Friend Song will join forces to attack the Myriad Puppet Mountain Range and draw the attention of the Nether Spiders. I will seize the opportunity to sneak into that secret realm and seal the spatial node. Then, we will work from both inside and outside to eliminate all the Nether Spiders and resolve this major threat once and for all." Liu Ye said gravely. The reason the Nether Spiders hadn't been dealt with before was the existence of the spatial node, which led the ten major sects of the Northern Frontier to seal them away.

They had made a trip to the Southern Sea and obtained a special fifth-grade talisman from Myriad Beast Island, specifically for sealing spatial nodes. Once the spatial node was sealed, they would be free to act and resolve the Nether Spiders.

"Spatial node?" Wang Qingshan was slightly taken aback. He hadn't known about the spatial node. Was the reason the Nether Spiders were sealed because of a spatial node?

Liu Ye briefly explained the situation, allowing Wang Qingshan to understand the full story.

"Grandmaster Liu, Senior Ye, can the spatial node really be sealed? Why wasn't it sealed before?" Wang Qingshan voiced his doubts.

"It’s simple," Liu Ye explained. "The Boundary Sealing Talisman, used for sealing the spatial node, comes from the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda. Since you’ve challenged the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda, you should know it contains many treasures. We old fellows have examined it, and the Boundary Sealing Talisman most likely originated from the Spirit Realm. The Immortal Suppressing Pagoda itself is probably not a treasure refined by some powerful figure, but rather a treasure that drifted down from the Spirit Realm."

Liu Ye explained that since the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda could even produce sentient spiritual treasures and fifth-grade Boundary Sealing Talismans, there was a high probability that it originated from the Spirit Realm. The Immortal Suppressing Pagoda might have appeared at the same time as the Soaring Immortal Ruins, though there was no evidence to prove this point.

Wang Qingshan suddenly understood. If the Boundary Sealing Talisman came from the Immortal Suppressing Pagoda, its quality was certainly reliable.

"If we force our way in, we might disturb the Nether Spiders and cause them to break open the spatial node. Therefore, we must send people to distract them. We’ve already given instructions, and cultivators from the other four cities will also cooperate with you. A total of twenty Nascent Soul cultivators and over ten thousand immortal cultivators will jointly attack the Myriad Puppet Mountain Range. Fellow Daoist Ye will be watching over you, so nothing will go wrong."

After saying this, Liu Ye looked at Ye Yan and said earnestly, "Fellow Daoist Ye, Nephew Wang is a junior I hold in high regard. If even a single hair on his head is harmed, I won't be polite with you."

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Liu, you worry too much," Ye Yan chuckled. "A fourth-tier Nether Spider cannot harm Young Friend Wang. He single-handedly eliminated a fourth-tier Nether Spider. I will watch over him and ensure he isn't in danger, so rest assured! As for you, make sure to find the right place. There's only one Boundary Sealing Talisman, no second one, so you cannot make a mistake, or our Northern Frontier will face a great catastrophe." Towards the end of his words, Ye Yan's expression became solemn.

Ye Yan wanted to personally seal the spatial node, but the talisman was obtained by Liu Ye. Liu Ye was a disciple of the Four Seasons Sword Venerable, who had personally entered the secret realm back then, and Liu Ye wished to emulate his grandmaster in slaying demons and eradicating evil. Of course, there were underlying power dynamics. Liu Ye personally sealing the spatial node versus Ye Yan sealing it carried entirely different implications.

"Don't worry!" Liu Ye assented, his expression full of confidence. "My grandmaster once entered there, and I will proceed cautiously. You all just need to draw the attention of the Nether Spiders outside and ensure they don't disturb me."

"You can rest assured on that front. Since you're willing to personally risk sealing the spatial node, I will absolutely cooperate with you." Ye Yan solemnly promised.

Wang Qingshan's expression became grave, wondering how many immortal cultivators would perish in tomorrow's battle.
