The Ghost King of Yinming, having been a Nascent Soul late-stage king for quite some time, was rumored to have already reached the pinnacle of Nascent Soul strength. He was impeded from announcing this advancement due to various reasons.
A ghost king of this caliber must consider how to acquire more Yin Soil or even Nether Springs; thus, even if he couldn't advance to Divine Transformation, he could still establish his dominance and self-proclaim as the Infernal Ghost Monarch.
Therefore, it was impossible for the Ghost King of Yinming not to have considered seizing the Nether Spring from the hands of the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch—it was just that he never found the right opportunity.
If the Starfall Nether Spring Ghost Monarch really left the city to attack, it would be akin to him tying his hands before assaulting Dengming.
Of course, to the Ghost King of Yinming, this was also the best opportunity, not to be missed.
