Soon after, three streaks of Nether King's Power, gleaming with a black luster, hurtled back from the distance, like meteors flashing across the sky.
Chen Hao immediately summoned a Nether Acupoint above his head and absorbed the three streaks of Nether King's Power back into his body.
Within the Nether Acupoint, watching the three streaks of Nether King's Power flow out of and back into the Nether King Orchid Heart, Xie Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, then shouted inside the Nether Acupoint, "What in the world is this place, Chen Hao, goddess, come back and take me out of here, I'm scared!"
Tang Jing and Xu Qiyu, who had just had the invisible bugs cleared out of their bodies by Ye Yuqiao using the Nether King's Power, were still unconscious by Xie Xiaofeng's side.
Meanwhile, outside the Nether Acupoint.
Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao turned to Chen Hao and said, "Boyfriend, continue!"
"Mm!" Chen Hao nodded. Suddenly, the two of them vanished from sight.
The despairing Daffodil Demon was startled, then let out a scream and turned to look behind her.
At that moment, Chen Hao, having utilized qinggong, took Ye Yuqiao to the rear of the Daffodil Demon, and Ye Yuqiao had placed the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade around the demon's neck.
Resignedly, the Daffodil Demon let out a lament, not expecting that Chen Hao would know qinggong, the lost art, and that his mastery was so swift her eyes could hardly capture his movements.
"I surrender, do as you will with my life," the Daffodil Demon said with a mournful voice, slowly closing her eyes.
"Why do you want to kill so many people?" asked Chen Hao, "What's so good about becoming a demon?"
The Daffodil Demon slowly opened her eyes and sneered with disdain, "Once I become a demon, I can kill even more people, just like now."
"Why? Do you hate humans that much?"
The Daffodil Demon sneered again with hatred on her face, "Do you know, I used to have many good sisters, and we all vowed to cultivate together to become immortals. But then you humans came along, picking my sisters one by one. Some would adorn them atop their heads, some boys used them as gifts to court girls, and what's even worse is that some were callously trampled underfoot after being plucked. Have you ever considered that they, like you, are alive, you..."
Suddenly, Ye Yuqiao swung the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade in her hand and decapitated the Daffodil Demon.
Following that, the body of the Daffodil Demon dissolved into millions of particulates of Primordial Spirits and Primordial Souls, shimmering with a pale yellow light.
Chen Hao was shocked and a bit angry, "Girlfriend, why did you just kill it?"
"What, are you going to get mad at me over it?" Ye Yuqiao turned to look at Chen Hao and asked, her face full of grievance and anger.
Chen Hao immediately realized something was wrong, then stuck out his tongue at Ye Yuqiao and hugged her waist tighter.
"You're terrible!" Ye Yuqiao pinched Chen Hao's thigh and said, "Did you not notice, she was quietly gathering magic power in her right palm while she was talking. If I hadn't killed her, maybe I would be the one who's dead by now."
Chen Hao chuckled and then whispered in Ye Yuqiao's ear, "My queen, I know I was wrong. I feel so tired right now, won't you motivate me a bit?"
"No!"
Although Ye Yuqiao said so, she actually turned around and pressed her front against Chen Hao. After a moment of scrutiny, she spoke with a grave face, "My poor Chen Hao, that must have been painful, wasn't it?"
Chen Hao shook his head with a smile, "Every time I think about the motivation coming soon, the pain goes away."
"Alright, your motivation is here," said Ye Yuqiao, her eyes glazing over, then she tilted her head up and gave Chen Hao's lips a gentle kiss.
Chen Hao suddenly embraced her with both arms, refusing to let the kiss end so easily. After a soft hum, Ye Yuqiao dropped the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade from her left hand and wrapped her arms around Chen Hao's waist, investing herself fully in the deep kiss.
Only after hearing Xie Xiaofeng's shouts and yells inside the Nether Acupoint did Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao finally end their kiss. After landing, Ye Yuqiao split the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade back into two and returned it to Chen Hao. Then, with his Yin Soul returned to his body, the two of them re-entered the Nether Acupoint to bring out Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Xu Qiyu.
Upon waking, Xu Qiyu was astonished to see the previously picturesque sea of flowers reduced to a desolate patch of land and exclaimed, "How did the sea of flowers disappear in the blink of an eye? What on earth happened?"
"The revenge of your former colleague has been exacted," Chen Hao said expressionlessly, "Maybe this is the price. I only hope that when the sea of flowers regenerates, people come here to share moments of beauty with the flowers instead of ending their lives with their hands."
...
Night had deepened.
Chen Hao and his companions returned to the city of C.
Before parting ways with Xu Qiyu, Chen Hao made a point of instructing him, "Next week, Cheng Lai will hand over the support funds. When you get the money, make sure to properly rebuild the Yin Yang Master Association. From now on, you take over as chairman. Don't bother with the National Yin Yang Master Association; remember, you need to be responsible for the people of C city, not the national association. You have my phone number, if you run into any trouble, just call me!"
"Yes!" Xu Qiyu nodded, his eyes brimming with tears. "Don't worry, I will perform my duties responsibly. It's embarrassing to say, but even though I am older than you, I am far from your equal! You're right, we Onmyoji must be responsible for the people!"
"By the way," Xu Qiyu shifted the topic, "Chen Hao, are you planning to leave? Won't you stay a few more days? I've yet to properly thank you."
"Who said I was leaving? We've worked so hard these past few days; you have to treat us to a meal before we go."
Although Chen Hao said this, the next morning, they drove the Exorcism Special Vehicle out of C city and headed for the next city bright and early.
Time hurried forward, and two months had passed.
It was now April, a time of transition from spring to summer.
Over these two months, Chen Hao and his companions traveled across most of King Xin's territories in their Exorcism Special Vehicle, clearing many demons and monsters along the way, bringing people peace from their troubles, with each individual's strength and abilities greatly improved.
Night had fallen as Chen Hao and his companions drove into City H, located at the southernmost end of King Xin's domains and one of the wealthiest seaside cities in the East Country. Apart from its bustling economy and comfortable environment, City H was famous for something else—the Campus Hero.
In the East Country, everyone knew of the super hero called Campus Hero who had emerged in City H. In just half a year since his appearance, he had solved multiple cases that had shocked the nation, capturing numerous notorious criminals and corrupt officials colluding with illegal gangs.
"We're only five kilometers away from City H," Xie Xiaofeng announced.
"So exciting, do you think we'll meet the Campus Hero?" Tang Jing said dreamily.
"Definitely," Chen Hao's lips curved into a smile, "I must meet him and see what he looks like, to find out who's more handsome, him or me."
Ye Yuqiao gave Chen Hao a white look and pinched his face gently, whispering, "Naughty!"
"By the way, jerk, isn't Ye Fei studying in Y City? Tomorrow's the weekend, call him up for lunch!" Xie Xiaofeng suggested.
"And tell him to bring that girl he likes," Tang Jing added with a smile.
"That's right," Chen Hao blinked, "I didn't expect to see Ye Fei so soon."
Meanwhile, twenty kilometers away in the northern district of Y City, three werewolves were surrounding a masked person in black clothes.
That masked person in black—was the Campus Hero!
