The ascetics who had been tricked by Lin Ning had, after much effort, finally left the cave area through the entrance of the Dark River running beneath the ground.
They proceeded along a tributary of the Dark River and soon arrived at the main river channel. Now the problem they faced was, should they go upstream, or should they head downstream?
With a grand wave of his hand, Ishana ordered, divide the forces!
He sent half of the people to explore upstream, while he personally led the others downstream.
This route was one that Chen Lingyun and Zhao Yuanzhen had previously taken; therefore, the ascetics quickly passed the Coast of Walking Corpses, clashing fiercely with the sorcerers who were collecting Yin Ghosts there.
The sorcerers were numerous but lacked leadership. They were cornered and separated by Ishana using the Blood Storage Calamity Wave Cup and bombarded one by one with the Lin Ga Three-Pronged Spear, soon scattering in disarray.
