Suddenly, the dissipating Yin Qi in the air became dense again!

A few meters in front of them, the air rippled, and then King Ning appeared with an astonished expression.

King Ning simply couldn't believe that Chen Hao before him was still alive! At the same time, he had a bad feeling—his time of death was approaching!

"It's all supposed to come to an end now," Chen Hao let go of Ye Yuqiao's hand and walked towards King Ning. Inside him, a relentless stream of Yin Qi Spiritual Power surged, surrounding his body, driving away and stirring up the air solidified by King Ning's Yin Qi!

King Ning's eyes widened in terror. He never imagined that as the Eighth Great Law King under the Ghost King, he would be suffocated by the Yin Qi emanating from an Onmyoji!

Ye Yuqiao looked at Chen Hao's back and the corners of her mouth faintly curled up, revealing a proud and triumphant smile. She was glad, for she hadn't chosen the wrong person. Chen Hao always managed to explode with power at critical moments, which was what set him apart.

In an instant, Ye Yuqiao became sentimental. This was her Chen Hao, yet she was about to leave him!

Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao's eyes blurred again, until she felt a surge of tremendous Yin Qi force snap her back to reality, looking ahead—her Chen Hao was brewing a powerful force.

Chen Hao closed his eyes. At his left eye, the flower bud that was shimmering with purple light had now bloomed into a dark purple orchid.

Ye Yuqiao told Chen Hao that this orchid was called the Emperor Orchid, also known as Nether King Orchid Heart. In the Netherworld, the Nether King Orchid Heart symbolized her, Ye Yuqiao—the Fourth Generation Underworld King.

At this moment, the Nether King Orchid Heart was infusing a powerful force into Chen Hao's bloodstream.

When Chen Hao opened his eyes again.

This time, his left eye no longer radiated purple light but rather a dark purple!

King Ning froze, his complexion deathly pale, now void of any domineering or murderous aura.

"Eyes of the Nether Myriad!" Chen Hao shouted.

Immediately, more than ten thousand eyes emerged around King Ning. Each eye was identical to Chen Hao's left eye, and every single one was flickering with dark purple light!

"Chen Hao, he," Xie Xiaofeng's voice trembled slightly, "he has become stronger again!"

Xie Xiaofeng clenched his fists, determined to work twice as hard in the future to be worthy of being Chen Hao's teammate.

Then, each of the ten thousand eyes unleashed the purple Nether Eye's Fire.

The omnipresent Nether Eye's Fire left King Ning no place to hide!

By the time the purple flames vanished into the air, Chen Hao had retracted the Eyes of the Nether Myriad.

In the air, no trace of King Ning could be seen anymore, and the purple Yin Qi that had enshrouded Mount Tiantian also disappeared.

King Ning was dead!

"Ah!" Tang Jing exclaimed, looking around in shock, "King Ning, he..."

"He's already dead!" Ye Yuqiao's voice was somewhat cold. She walked up behind Chen Hao, patted his shoulder, and chuckled, "Well done, you deserve a little reward!"

Chen Hao turned around, the dark purple light no longer flashing in his left eye. He wrapped his arms around Ye Yuqiao's waist, ignoring their three companions nearby, and asked with a smile, "So, how do you plan to reward me then?"

Ye Yuqiao's cheeks turned slightly red as she lowered her bright eyes, avoiding Chen Hao's gaze.

At that moment, two thunderous booms erupted. A mass of fire carrying thick smoke leaped from the foothills, like purgatory to humans, towards the middle of Jade Peak, turning the entire sky red with its glow.

"Great gods, may I interrupt," Xie Xiaofeng urgently said, "Jade Peak below has turned into a sea of fire, how are we to get down now?"

Chen Hao looked towards Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao, conjuring a Nether Acupoint above their heads and sucking them into it. Then he employed the Nether Vision Technique, his gaze piercing through the mountain and forests, directly seeing the foot of Mount Tianwang a thousand meters away. Finally, he summoned a Nether Acupoint at the entrance, a thousand meters away, and released Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao.

"You can already use the Nether Acupoint with ease, well done!" Ye Yuqiao said to Chen Hao with a light chuckle.

Chen Hao smiled confidently and then leaned in closer, pressing his body against Ye Yuqiao's slim, curvaceous form, and asked, "You still haven't answered, how do you plan to reward me?"

Startled, Ye Yuqiao tiptoed and kissed Chen Hao on the left cheek, her face flushed as she said, "This is your reward."

Chen Hao just gazed at Ye Yuqiao, silent. Under his steady gaze, Ye Yuqiao's heartbeat quickened.

After a long moment, Chen Hao looked into Ye Yuqiao's eyes and said, "I need a very long and sweet kiss."

Ye Yuqiao slightly lowered her head, her voice light and shy, "Mmm, okay!"

Chen Hao slowly leaned in...

Two minutes later, they were still locked in a deep kiss.

At that time, the Spirit of the Mountain God, glowing with a yellow light, drifted from somewhere at the base of the mountain to the peak of Jade Peak, absorbing nature's spiritual energy from Mount Tianwang.

After another five minutes, while Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao were still immersed in their sweet embrace, the Spirit of the Mountain God suddenly burst into a brilliant light, like a falling star hurtling toward the sea of fire at the foot of the mountain.

When they finally ended their long and sweet kiss, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao realized that the sea of fire at the foot of the mountain had quieted down, and the thick smoke and the smell of burning were gone.

"It was the Spirit of the Mountain God that used its power to put an end to this calamity!" Ye Yuqiao explained.

...

Night had fallen deep.

Seeing the purple Yin Qi disappear from the summit of Mount Tianwang, all the ghosts knew that King Ning had died! With King Ning's death, the Netherworld under King Ning's Manor became headless and plunged into chaos.

In the urban area of Y City, ghosts roamed the streets, causing chaos in the world.

Every Onmyoji from the Yin Yang Master Association was urgently dispatched, rushing to the streets to exorcise the ghosts. Even Xie Da, who had resigned from the Yin Yang Master Association not long ago, joined the exorcism efforts with his family.

However, taking advantage of the chaos, a thief sneaked into the Xie family home, found Xie Xiaofeng's room, and stole the other piece of the Five Elements Stone that Xie Xiaofeng had left.

After he got his hands on the Five Elements Stone, the thief immediately left the Xie household and quickly got into a car parked in a nearby dark alley.

Once in the car, the thief took off his mask and rolled down the window.

After gasping for breath, the thief lit his lighter and lit a cigarette.

By the light of the lighter, in the rearview mirror, the thief saw his own reflection—he was the former president of the Yin Yang Master Association, Wang Chuan.

After two puffs of the cigarette, Wang Chuan revealed a cunning smile.

Half a minute later, having finished his cigarette, Wang Chuan drove away.

...

Netherworld!

Suddenly, alarm bells rang seven times within the Nether King's palace, signifying that a being of high stature had perished.

The news of King Ning's death had already spread throughout the Netherworld.

Soon, Clan Leaders from the Eight Great Clans and the other seven of the Eight Great Law Kings would convene an emergency meeting in the Nether King's palace.

In a forest on the eastern side of Netherworld City, King Shuanglin floated over the center of a lake. It was in this very forest that he had been saved by King Ning years ago.

Suddenly, King Shuanglin raised his head and let out a lion's roar to the heavens!

In an instant, the surface of the lake beneath him froze over.
