The dead of night, quiet and still.

In D City, at the headquarters of the Yin Yang Master Association of East Country.

After rushing back from Anyang Town, A-Xin, who was an assistant in the discipline management committee of the Onmyoji, went to see Luo Pengfei through the night.

At that moment, Luo Pengfei was in the yard, counting the stars in the sky, his slender figure appearing somewhat lonely in the night.

"President, I have returned!" A-Xin approached Luo Pengfei from behind and reported.

After a long while, Luo Pengfei turned his head, his expression containing a hint of disdain as he spoke, "Did you discover anything on your trip to Anyang Town?"

"Yes!" A-Xin nodded, his face suddenly darkening as he recalled the scenes of being reprimanded by Chen Hao this morning in Pingyang Town, feeling both ashamed and angry. After a pause, he spoke in a low voice, "Chen Hao, this kid, has a mysterious and terrifying enchanted seal on his left eye, and it seems he's also a martial arts expert. Besides, there's a mysterious woman by his side, beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, who looks like his girlfriend and also possesses a mysterious and terrifying power!"

In one breath, A-Xin said "mysterious and terrifying" twice, each time with a trembling voice. Hearing this, Luo Pengfei huffed displeasedly, "So, you mean to say you've already fought with him?"

"Not quite a fight."

"Oh?" Luo Pengfei showed confusion, "Why didn't you try to fight him?"

"Because I had already lost before he even exerted any force!" A-Xin explained, "He is truly terrifying! He cannot simply be described by the three words 'a simple Onmyoji'."

Hearing A-Xin say again how terrifying Chen Hao was, Luo Pengfei snorted angrily and reprimanded, "Just a mere enchanted power, what's there to fear? With so many Onmyoji here who possess profound mana, with so many forbidden enchantments and seals, can't we seal his enchanted power? Besides, I've already sent Nirvana to deal with him."

"Nirvana!" A bright light shot from A-Xin's eyes. In his mind, Nirvana was also a terrifying monster. However, his pupils quickly constricted and dimmed, and then he let out a sigh of sorrow.

"What are you sighing about again so solemnly? Are you still worried that Nirvana won't be able to kill that kid Chen Hao?" Luo Pengfei asked, somewhat irritated.

A-Xin's brow furrowed deeply and after a long while, he nodded, "It's hard to say—Chen Hao probably has a seventy percent chance of winning."

At hearing A-Xin speak so, Luo Pengfei immediately became furious, barking, "Why do you always boost the morale of others while diminishing your own prestige?"

A-Xin sighed again, "President, I just hope you don't underestimate that kid Chen Hao. If it won't work, then cancel the annual national Onmyoji conference this year, you should go abroad to relax and wait until..."

"Nonsense!" Luo Pengfei cut A-Xin off with a fierce kick before he could finish, full of rage, "With the Onmyoji conference imminent, everyone knows Chen Hao plans to come and cause trouble. If I hide now, wouldn't I be telling all the Onmyoji under heaven that I'm scared of that kid Chen Hao? Where would my prestige stand then? What's more..."

Speaking, Luo Pengfei's tone suddenly changed, and a strange and sinister smile appeared on his face, "I've waited for this year's national Onmyoji conference for so long, there's no way I'll cancel."

"President, what do you mean by that?" A-Xin looked perplexed, "Do you have some important announcement to make at the conference, or is there..."

"Shut up, don't ask questions you shouldn't!" Luo Pengfei raised his left hand and coldly interrupted A-Xin, "Leave now!"

A-Xin hesitated with unspoken words, then his face showed indecision. After a long pause, he ultimately didn't dare to continue questioning, and he simply acknowledged with a "Yes" before departing.

"Wait!" Luo Pengfei called out to A-Xin after he had taken a few steps, "I have never underestimated that kid Chen Hao, otherwise, I would not have sent Nirvana to deal with him—Nirvana is both the last and the best trump card in my hand!"

..

A long night.

Luo Pengfei, who never needed sleep, had also fallen asleep during the lengthy wait.

Until dawn broke, his best and final trump card, Nirvana, had not returned. This meant, just as Axin had worried and anticipated, Nirvana had fallen at Chen Hao's hand.

When the first light of the morning shone on Luo Pengfei's face, he finally became restless and called on Axin to rush toward Xiluo Lake.

Meanwhile, at that very moment by Xiluo Lake, Xie Xiaofeng just opened his eyes.

Not seeing Chen Hao in the tent, Xie Xiaofeng was startled and hurried out of the tent while looking around and shouting the words "bastard."

"Xie Xiaofeng, what are you shouting about so early in the morning?" Tang Jing's groggy voice came from another tent.

"The bastard is gone!"

"Ah! Yuqiao isn't in the tent either!" Tang Jing's voice suddenly became surprised, and after a moment of shock, she continued, "Could it be that they never came back from a walk last night?"

Just then, in the woods ahead, Xie Xiaofeng saw Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao walking out slowly hand in hand.

By the time Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao reached them, Tang Jing had also come out of the tent.

"Bastard, goddess, you were gone all night, and being in the woods, you weren't doing anything naughty, were you?" Xie Xiaofeng asked Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao with a mischievous smile on his face.

Hearing Xie Xiaofeng's words, a blush immediately climbed onto Ye Yuqiao's face, and she lowered her head slightly, complaining inwardly to Chen Hao, "Boyfriend, I told you not to practice last night, look how embarrassing it is now, I'm mortified!"

Chen Hao sneered contemptuously, his eyes coldly fixed on Xie Xiaofeng as he said, "Xie Xiaofeng, what nonsense are you talking about? Last night Yuqiao and I were chatting in the woods and ended up falling asleep leaning against a tree. With so many wandering souls and wild ghosts in this forest, what bad things could we do? If you don't believe it, you and Tang Jing should go in there now and try it."

"Bastard, why on earth are you bringing me up!" Just then, a murderous look suddenly appeared in Tang Jing's eyes, "I'm going to kill you! Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again!"

With that, Tang Jing raised her hand and lunged at Chen Hao.

"Girlfriend, save me, Tang Jing is going to kill me!" Chen Hao quickly hid behind Ye Yuqiao.

"Tang Jing, I'll help you!" Xie Xiaofeng swiftly moved behind Chen Hao.

..

After frolicking by the lake in the gentle morning breeze for a while, Chen Hao and his companions packed up their tents and left.

Two and a half hours later, close to noon, Luo Pengfei and Axin arrived at Xiluo Lake in a private plane. Looking down at the grass turned to ash by the lake, and the extensively damaged woods, Luo Pengfei's face turned ashen.

It was clear that Nirvana had encountered Chen Hao last night, and since Nirvana had not returned to him, it must have been defeated.

After getting off the plane, Luo Pengfei and Axin walked to the spot where the most Yang Energy remained—the mountain front that had been leveled by the mixed essence.

Luo Pengfei closed his eyes and cast the Yin Yang Five Elements restoration technique.

Before long, a cluster of purple Yin Qi Spiritual Power gathered in front of them, and then Nirvana's Yin Soul appeared.
