He laughed and laughed.

Suddenly, Chen Hao stopped laughing, his expression becoming extremely cold.

Accompanied by a pale blue light flashing across his eyes, a frigid burst of Sword Qi surged forth from his body, directly slicing across the wrist of A Xin's left hand that was gripping his throat.

In an instant, a pool of fresh red blood gushed out from the wrist of A Xin's left hand.

A Xin looked astonished, unable to believe that everything that had just happened was real.

"If you don't let go right now, I guarantee you'll end up just like Xu Sheng, the City Lord of Mucheng, in two seconds!" Chen Hao said, glaring at A Xin with eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

A Xin's body suddenly trembled, then he immediately released his left hand and staggered back two steps.

"Return Luo Luo's Yin Soul to me!" Chen Hao commanded A Xin, his tone and gaze both exceptionally sharp.

A Xin's eyes bulged. He initially wanted to say something threatening to Chen Hao but swallowed the words at the last moment, because the Chen Hao in front of him clearly didn't fear anyone's threats.

"What if I don't?" A Xin asked, having not really made his move. The reason he had loosened the grip of his left hand from Chen Hao's throat was not out of fear or concession but to catch his breath.

"Whoosh," the sound of Sword Qi resonated.

A terror-stricken light shot from A Xin's eyes. When the light faded, he suddenly let out a scream. His left knee had been slashed open by the Sword Qi emanating from Chen Hao, and soon blood was being soaked up by his pale jeans, leaving behind a vivid red stain.

"Hiss!" A Xin hissed in pain, slowly kneeling on one knee, then he clasped his hands tightly over the wound on his left knee.

"Hand over Luo Luo's Yin Soul, quickly!" Chen Hao said, looking down at A Xin with a threatening gaze.

A Xin looked up at Chen Hao, three furrows appearing on his forehead. After a pause, he then asked, "Do you know that I just got out of the police station not long ago?"

"I'm aware! Those four bodies were destroyed by you, weren't they?"

"Then do you know what Spell I used to make those bodies disappear in an instant?" A Xin asked again.

Chen Hao frowned, bewildered. He didn't understand why A Xin was asking him these two seemingly irrelevant questions.

Before Chen Hao could respond, suddenly, A Xin's eyes shifted, and he raised two fingers of his left hand, quickly chanting a spell with his mouth, while his eyes were already looking past Chen Hao, towards Ye Yuqiao and the Luo Luo on Zhang Chuiping's back.

"Because I know a forbidden Spell that can instantly turn any flesh without a Yin Soul to ash!" A Xin declared, "The ultimate Yin-expelling Yang-forbidding Spell!"

Chen Hao was shocked!

His Yuqiao happened to have the body of a Yang Spirit without a Yin Soul.

Immediately, he felt a powerful, unseen surge of Yin Qi Spiritual Power brushing past him, flowing toward his back.

"Hmph," the sound of A Xin's smug snicker reached his ears.

As he turned around, he hadn't yet time to warn Ye Yuqiao to be careful when the Yin Qi had already reached her.

"Hmph," A Xin's snicker still echoed in his ears.

Just then, Ye Yuqiao's bright eyes suddenly narrowed, and a look of anger flashed across her face. In an instant, her eyes flared open as a surge of Nether King's Power rushed out from within her, solidifying the air in front of her, and the Yin Qi pushed out by A Xin was sealed within the solidified air.

"Child's play!" Ye Yuqiao muttered to herself, her expression returning to its usual aloofness.

"Ah!" Zhang Chuiping looked at Ye Yuqiao in astonishment, not expecting that Chen Hao's girlfriend possessed such mysterious power.

"Haha!" Chen Hao scratched his head and laughed twice, thinking to himself how he could have forgotten that his girlfriend was the Nether King; such a Spell could never have harmed her.

"How is this possible!" A Xin shook his head and sighed, his face a picture of disbelief. Inside, he couldn't help but question Ye Yuqiao's identity.

At this moment, Chen Hao turned his head back to A Xin, the corners of his mouth curving into a frightening smile. If it were not for the Nether King's Power within Yuqiao, her body of the Yang Spirit would have probably been destroyed by A Xin's mysterious Yin Yang Arts. This was something Chen Hao could never forgive.

After a furious shout, a dazzling purple-black light flashed across Chen Hao's left eye—the seal A Xin had placed on the Nether King's Heart had been shattered by his rage.

Then, he strode toward A Xin, filled with towering anger.

Seeing this, A Xin panicked and quickly cast seals around Chen Hao to trap him and stop his advance.

With a "bang," Chen Hao broke the seal with a single punch.

A Xin hurriedly got up, retreating while casting seals at Chen Hao.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The raging Chen Hao could not be stopped at this moment.

When Chen Hao was just one meter away from A Xin, A Xin suddenly puffed out his chest and sent a shock forward, followed by a sword made of pure Yang Energy erupting from within him, hurtling towards Chen Hao.

He had intended to use Chen Hao's own pure Yang Energy to shatter Chen Hao's Yin Soul.

Just as the Yang Energy Sword was about to pierce Chen Hao's chest, Chen Hao suddenly disappeared from in front of A Xin, instantly reappearing behind him.

Before A Xin could react, Chen Hao had already forcefully turned him around by pressing down on his shoulders.

With a "bam", Chen Hao's fist fiercely struck A Xin's face, sending him seeing stars and reeling in a daze.

"Remember the taste of this punch and make sure you share it with your chairman when you get back. Tell him not to be impatient; he'll soon get a taste of my fist too!"

Having said this, Chen Hao's left hand, now activated with the Hand of Death, slapped down onto A Xin's shoulder, directly sending A Xin's Yin Soul to the Eighteen Levels of Hell. A Xin had just fainted when he was summoned back to consciousness by Chen Hao's Yin Yang Arts, which called forth his memory-bearing Primordial Spirit and awakened his Yang Soul.

"Where's my Yin Soul?" A Xin roared at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao ignored A Xin, snatching the Soul-collecting Bottle that contained Luo Luo's Yin Soul from him and then kicking A Xin into the river beside them.

"Tell your chairman that I'll definitely kick him sky-high!" Chen Hao shouted toward the river.

No sooner had Chen Hao finished speaking than a "plop" sound followed, indicating A Xin had fallen into the water.

Afterward, Chen Hao uncorked the Soul-collecting Bottle and released Luo Luo's Yin Soul, allowing it to return to her body.

When Luo Luo opened her eyes, Zhang Chuiping hugged her tightly, overwhelmed with emotion, "My wife, you're safe! We owe it to Chen Hao for arriving just in time to stop it!"

"Chen Hao, sister thanks you!" Luo Luo turned to Chen Hao, her face filled with gratitude.

After chuckling at Luo Luo, Chen Hao approached Ye Yuqiao and took her hand, silently conveying, "That really scared me just now, I had forgotten for a moment that you are the Nether King."

"Got to scold your boyfriend a bit, for not protecting your Yuqiao well!" Ye Yuqiao responded, her eyes filled with a dazed smile.

Three minutes later, after Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, Luo Luo, and Zhang Chuiping had left, A Xin's head suddenly emerged from the water. After screaming furiously a few times, he muttered in a hoarse voice, "Chen Hao, return my Yin Soul, return my Yin Soul!"

After the confrontation with A Xin, Chen Hao and his party returned to the hotel where they stayed the previous night. Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing had already packed their luggage and were waiting at the entrance of the hotel.

Seeing their companions return from a distance, Tang Jing couldn't wait to ask, "You bastard, what about that guy from the Yin Yang Master Discipline Council? Did you not catch him?"

"Found him, gave him a good beating, and told him to convey a message to Luo Pengfei to wait for us to come deal with them in a few days!"

"You went through all that trouble to find the guy just to beat him up?" asked Tang Jing sarcastically. "Isn't that a bit too pointless?"

"How is it pointless!" countered Chen Hao. "Disciplining that guy was a declaration of war against the national Yin Yang Master Association and its Discipline Council, which is hugely meaningful! Moreover, the guy who came is Luo Pengfei's assistant, one of his most important confidants."

"Even so, you should have caught him and let me and Xie Xiaofeng teach him a lesson, to avenge the townspeople here!"

Chen Hao just shrugged, "You should have said that earlier! Anyway, let's not talk about this anymore. If the luggage is all packed, then let's get going."

"It's been ready for a while; let's go," said Xie Xiaofeng, in his lazy manner. He then looked at Luo Luo and Zhang Chuiping, asking, "Sister Luo, brother-in-law, are you coming with us to D City?"

After exchanging glances with Luo Luo, Zhang Chuiping smiled and shook his head, "We'll go before the National Yin Yang Masters Conference starts. Besides, we've arranged to meet a few important friends in the area in a few days."

"Alright then, we'll head off first and get in touch later. In the meantime, take care of yourselves, especially be wary of your friends," Chen Hao advised.

"Mm-hmm, we will be careful. You guys also remember to drive safely on the road. Luo Pengfei might still send someone after you," they replied.

After some pleasantries, Chen Hao and the others once again bid farewell to Luo Luo and Zhang Chuiping and set off for D City, the headquarters of the National Yin Yang Master Association.

As night fell, Chen Hao and his companions arrived on the shores of Xi Luo Lake in the eastern part of D City.

Looking at the setting sun's glow on Xi Luo Lake, Xie Xiaofeng, who was driving the Exorcism Special Vehicle, slowed down the pace to join the other three passengers in admiring the beautiful reflection on the water.

At this moment, half of Xi Luo Lake's surface was emerald green, and the other half a dark yellow. A summer breeze swept across the scene, raising ripples that spread outward, creating a shimmering dance of dual-colored light on the water's surface.

"Why don't we camp out by the lake tonight?" Tang Jing asked on a whim.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Chen Hao asked Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao smiled and nodded, clearly charmed by the lake at sunset.

"Then it's decided?" Xie Xiaofeng asked.

"Mm!"

At that moment, across the lake in the woods,

a boy sat under a tree, tending to a fire, he was Luo Pengfei's adopted son—Nirvana!
