After battling over red envelopes, Chen Hao and his three companions began to pack their luggage, ready to leave.

By nine in the morning, the village chief came to the house alone, finding the four already finished packing and had moved their suitcases to the living room.

"Are you leaving?" the village chief exclaimed, then continued, pleading, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers will be slaughtering pigs and sheep to celebrate with a feast. Why not stay for the meal before leaving?"

"I'm really sorry, Chief," Chen Hao approached and took the village chief's hand. "Due to the heavy snowfall, we've already been delayed a few days. We need to leave early today to reach Shiquan Town before dark. We're deeply grateful for the care you and the villagers have shown us these past days, truly grateful!"

After speaking, Chen Hao took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and handed it to the village chief, saying, "Happy New Year, dear Village Chief! This red envelope is our group's blessing to the villagers. It's not much, but we hope you can deliver this token of our appreciation to them on our behalf."

"Oh no, I couldn't possibly!" The village chief waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to accept the red envelope. "You four have done so much for our village, how can we accept your money!"

Eventually, after much persuasion from Chen Hao, the village chief accepted the red envelope, with the promise from Chen Hao's group to distribute the money to every villager.

Half an hour later, watched by the collective gaze of the villagers, the "Exorcism Special Vehicle" carrying Chen Hao and the others slowly drove off, disappearing into the winding, steep mountain roads.

Three days later.

After an arduous and winding journey through the mountains, the "Exorcism Special Vehicle" finally reached the smooth and spacious highway.

"We finally made it out of the mountains!" Xie Xiaofeng sighed. For someone still at the novice driver stage like himself, the nearly ten days of mountain driving was indeed a test and torment. Looking at the highway stretching straight into the horizon, he was suddenly overcome with the urge to cry, and his eyes moistened.

"Why are you crying?" Tang Jing, seated in the passenger seat, noticed the tears in Xie Xiaofeng's eyes.

"The wind is too strong!" Xie Xiaofeng explained, hastily raising his hand to wipe away the tear at the corner of his eye.

"Bullshit!" Tang Jing said disdainfully. "All the windows are shut tight. Where's the wind coming from?"

Xie Xiaofeng shrugged, turned to Tang Jing with a sneer, and said, "Tang Jing, I've come to realize you're becoming less and less adorable. If you keep this up, the gap between you and the goddess Yuqiao will be more than just a few mountains apart, probably enough to circle the Earth."

"Ptui!" Tang Jing spat in disgust at Xie Xiaofeng.

At four in the afternoon, the van arrived at a small town on the southern edge of W City—Feishi Town. To the southwest of Feishi Town lay Feiwan Bridge, and beyond that bridge was Wangu Town, belonging to King Xin's Manor.

"Let's stay overnight in Feishi Town," Ye Yuqiao said with a furrowed brow, feeling uneasy at the thought of leaving King Ning's Manor's territory. She was worried that once they arrived in Wangu Town, the Ghost King's fifth Law King under King Xin would come looking for revenge on behalf of King Ning. Therefore, they needed to stay in Feishi Town to make ample preparations.

"Huh? We're stopping?" Xie Xiaofeng was surprised. "It's only four o'clock, and Wangu Town isn't far from here. We could definitely make it there by five."

"Let's rest in Feishi Town for a while," Ye Yuqiao said coldly with a thoughtful expression. "Once we pass Feishi Town, we'll be in King Xin's territory. She could come for us at any moment!"

"King Xin?" Xie Xiaofeng was startled. "Is it a woman?"

"Yes!" Ye Yuqiao's tone grew colder. "The only female among the Eight Great Law Kings, extremely vicious."

Suddenly, Xie Xiaofeng hit the brakes and looked forward with a shocked expression, his brows tightly knit.

"What's wrong?" Tang Jing asked, following Xie Xiaofeng's gaze. In front of them, at a crosswalk, a headless Yin Soul staggered along. Vehicles from all directions zoomed past, driving straight through its body. Crimson blood oozed continuously from its neck, dripping onto the white lines of the crosswalk, strikingly conspicuous.

"A headless ghost!" Tang Jing exclaimed. "It dares to come out in broad daylight!"

"Hey!" Xie Xiaofeng looked helplessly at Tang Jing. "Not only are you unadorable, but with your intelligence, you should realize it has no head to see whether it's day or night, right?"

"Xie Xiaofeng!" Tang Jing yelled, her eyes filled with a murderous look.

Xie Xiaofeng leaned toward Tang Jing, twisted her head back towards the headless ghost, and said, "Don't be crabby, direct all your anger at that headless ghost!"

After a snort, Tang Jing gathered the Yang Energy in her body into her palms, creating a Yang Energy bow and an arrow. Then she drew the bow and shot the Yang Energy arrow at the headless ghost.

After being struck by the Yang Energy arrow, the headless ghost was sent to the Netherworld.

Then Xie Xiaofeng restarted the van and continued forward.

"Where did that headless ghost come from?" Tang Jing pondered out loud.

"Maybe it was killed by a professional assassin hired by an enemy in its past life?" Chen Hao speculated. "Look at how clean-cut the neck wound is. It's obviously done with a knife. Without the skills of a professional assassin, who could achieve such a swift and clean decapitation?"

Suddenly, another sharp sound of braking filled the air.

"Xie Xiaofeng, what's wrong now, another headless ghost?" Tang Jing complained.

"Indeed!"

"Ah!" Tang Jing was startled, then looked ahead. She saw on the sidewalk not far ahead on the left, a headless ghost with blood constantly flowing from its neck, crawling on the ground, leaving behind a long, thick trail of crimson blood that revealed its path.

"What should we do?" Tang Jing asked in alarm, "Should we get out of the car and ask it?"

Xie Xiaofeng snorted with laughter, mockingly lamented, "Tang Jing, you've exposed your true IQ to us once again! Tell me, what will it use to speak?"

"You!" Tang Jing's eyes widened in anger as she reached out and pinched Xie Xiaofeng's ear. "Say it again, and see if I believe that I'll twist your ears off and turn you into an earless ghost!"

"I believe, I believe!" Xie Xiaofeng nodded repeatedly, "Please let me go!"

After a snort, Tang Jing let go of Xie Xiaofeng's ear, then loudly ordered him, "Get rid of that headless ghost, quick!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Watching Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng's playful quarreling, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao, sitting in the backseat, couldn't help but smile, momentarily pushing the appearance of the headless ghost to the back of their minds. However, five minutes later, upon encountering the third headless ghost, they couldn't help but feel suspicious, sensing that something was very amiss.

After Xie Xiaofeng had dealt with the third headless ghost, Ye Yuqiao closed her eyes and coldly said, "Quick, go check out Feiwan Bridge!"

At that moment, Ye Yuqiao sensed the same scent from the south-west direction as the headless ghosts.

Ten minutes later, the group's Exorcism Special Vehicle arrived by the Feiwan Bridge.

Getting out of the car, they walked to the head of the bridge and saw a total of six headless ghosts in white robes crawling slowly towards Feiwan Town, both on the bridge and in the chilly river below the bridge.

"What on earth happened over there?" Chen Hao muttered.

"Want to know?" Xie Xiaofeng asked, pulling out his cellphone from his pocket, "Just look up the news!"

Just as Xie Xiaofeng was about to search for news related to Wangu Town, Tang Jing suddenly screamed and pointed down at the bridge, "Look quickly, there's a body floating in the water!"

Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, and Xie Xiaofeng quickly looked below, and indeed, as Tang Jing had said, there was a person floating under the bridge in the shallow water, but it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

Instantly, Chen Hao leaped down to the bottom of the bridge and pulled the person from the shallow water to the bank.

Upon seeing the person's face, Chen Hao was instantly dumbstruck!

"This person... why does he look so familiar?" Chen Hao said incredulously.

"You idiot, is he still alive?" Tang Jing's shout wafted down from the bridge, her voice so fragmented in the cold wind.

Chen Hao didn't respond, lost in thought, wondering where he had seen this familiar face before. After a moment, Ye Yuqiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she muttered to herself, "Ye Fei, yes, his name is Ye Fei!"

"Your Highness," Chen Hao excitedly transmitted a secret message to Ye Yuqiao in his mind, "Can you hear me?"

"Yes, what's the situation?" Ye Yuqiao's voice resonated in Chen Hao's mind.

"Remember the dream I had when we went to Tianwang Mountain to find King Ning?" Chen Hao said, "The dream about the wedding when we were dealing with the Nightmare Soul, which I later told you about."

"Yes, I remember. You were in someone else's wedding as a best man!"

"Yes, exactly!" Chen Hao became more excited as he spoke, "The groom was called Ye Fei, and he is right in front of me now!"

"What!" Ye Yuqiao exclaimed with surprise, "I can't believe he really exists. First, check if he's still alive."

Chen Hao bent over and slowly reached a hand to "Ye Fei's" nostrils.

After a long moment, when he couldn't feel any breath coming from "Ye Fei's" nostrils, Chen Hao's heart trembled as he said, "He's dead! There's not a trace of Yang Energy on him!"

"Is there a Yin Soul left in his body?"

"There is! It seems he hasn't been dead for long." Chen Hao said, "It seems that dream will never come true! I thought there really was such a coincidence in the world."

However, just as Chen Hao's words had fallen!

"Cough, cough!"

Ye Fei, the man lying on the stone, who Chen Hao thought was already dead, suddenly let out two light coughs!

"He actually came back to life!" Chen Hao exclaimed in shock, "This is too thrilling!"

"I sense a powerful enigmatic force; quickly use your Nether Vision to look at his body," Ye Yuqiao urged anxiously.

"Yes!"

Chen Hao activated his Nether Vision Technique and looked at Ye Fei. Two seconds later...
