Fifteen minutes later, Chen Hao's body was brought to the doorstep of the Yin Yang Master Association by the members of the Brotherhood Gang. After getting out of the car, Chen Ren instructed his subordinates, "I'll go in by myself in a moment; you all just wait outside."

Having said that, Chen Ren carried Chen Hao's body into the Yin Yang Master Association.

At this time, inside the association's main hall, vice president Xie Da and Group Leader of the Heavenly Division Ren Deshan were seated in chairs, anxiously waiting. The news of the Pagoda Heavenly King's spirit being shattered only recently spread, causing chaos amongst the ghosts of Y City's Netherworld with numerous hauntings. Almost all the onmyoji had been dispatched to different streets to cleanse the Yin Souls, but so far none had returned, and the situation in each street remained unknown.

Seeing Chen Ren swaggering in, carrying someone on his shoulder, Ren Deshan asked in puzzlement, "Does this brother need something?"

Chen Ren approached, throwing the body of Chen Hao onto the ground in front of Xie Da and Ren Deshan.

"Haozi!" Xie Da immediately recognized it was Chen Hao. Seeing Chen Hao's purple complexion and his stillness, Xie Da quickly squatted in front of him, stretching out his hand to check Chen Hao's nostrils. After feeling no breath from Chen Hao, he shook violently and lifted his shocked gaze to Chen Ren.

At that moment, Taiyi Zhenren had just separated from Chen Ren's body, and subsequently, Chen Ren's body collapsed unconscious onto the ground. Taiyi Zhenren flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand, saying with a furious expression, "I am Taiyi Zhenren. I heard that not long ago, the Pagoda Heavenly King, who was in charge of this place, was killed by this ignorant youngster, causing chaos in the netherworld here and ghosts to run amok. For this reason, I have come to exact punishment!"

"So it is Taiyi Zhenren!" Xie Da bowed with fists clasped in greeting, although through his Yin Yang Eyes he had already seen that Taiyi Zhenren was nothing more than a fierce-looking ghost. But helplessly, that was just the way the world worked now, and even as the highly respected vice president of the Yin Yang Master Association, he had to bow his head. "Since this youngster is already dead, I beseech the Zhenren to quell your anger and help us subdue the chaos in the local netherworld."

"You need not worry about that; shortly, a new Pagoda Heavenly King will lead the heavenly soldiers to suppress the chaos of the Yin Souls," Taiyi Zhenren said with a stern face. Then, he pointed his horsetail whisk towards Chen Hao and coldly said, "This youngster is not yet dead; he's but lost his Yin Soul somewhere. If I am not mistaken, his lifespan has ended, but due to an indescribable seal of a possessing force on his left eye, he has the undead body. You must find a coffin made of yang wood before his Yin Soul returns to his body and place his physical body inside it!"

This yang wood coffin mentioned by Taiyi Zhenren is made from wood that has absorbed a great deal of Yang Energy after being exposed to the sunlight for many years. Since the yang wood coffin is saturated with strong Yang Energy, any Yin Soul that comes near it would be harmed by the Yang Energy, even to the point of utter annihilation.

Taiyi Zhenren planned to place Chen Hao's body in a yang wood coffin, obviously seeking to prevent his Yin Soul from returning to the body. In this way, as long as Chen Hao's Yin Soul is dispersed, even if Chen Hao has an undead body, he would not be able to wake up again.

"This...!" Xie Da's face first showed surprise, then difficulty. Coincidentally, there was exactly one yang wood coffin in the prop room of the Yin Yang Master Association. He was considering whether to tell Taiyi Zhenren this piece of information; Chen Hao's body was devoid of Yang Spirit, and disclosing it to Taiyi Zhenren might mean sealing Chen Hao's fate once and for all.

"To answer the Zhenren, our association just so happens to have a yang wood coffin!"

To Xie Da's surprise, Ren Deshan had actually informed Taiyi Zhenren of this before he had made a decision. He turned to look at Ren Deshan, giving him an angry glare, wondering if Ren Deshan had done this deliberately to exact revenge for the humiliation Chen Hao caused him a few days ago?

Ren Deshan looked awkwardly toward Ren Deshan and then quickly averted his gaze.

"Since that's the case, why not hurry up and show this Zhenren!" exclaimed Taiyi Zhenren with a smile. After speaking, he possessed Chen Ren's body again, stood up from the ground, approached Xie Da and urged, "Take this youngster's body and let's go!"

Taiyi Zhenren was a Yin Soul, so he could only approach the yang wood coffin by possessing Chen Ren's body.

After placing Chen Hao's body into the yang wood coffin, Chen Ren called for the subordinates outside, carrying the yang wood coffin away from the Yin Yang Master Association. Before leaving, Chen Ren instructed Xie Da, "A new Pagoda Heavenly King will soon take office, and order in the netherworld will be restored shortly. If you see this youngster's Yin Soul, make sure to disperse it and notify me timely!"

Watching the van carrying the yang wood coffin growing smaller in the distance, Xie Da turned back to Ren Deshan and snorted angrily, "Ren Deshan, I didn't expect you to be so narrow-minded, wanting to see Chen Hao dead over a dispute that occurred a few days ago."

"President Xie, that's a misunderstanding!" Ren Deshan said with a mournful face, "It's Chen Hao, the kid who has caused a colossal disaster with his reckless actions; it's entirely his own fault."

Xie Da sighed with a somber expression, then asked profoundly, "Ask yourself, although Haozi might be arrogant, has he truly done anything wrong? He only did what we have always wanted to do but did not dare to. The things we dare not do, naturally, we also don't want others to do, preferring everyone else to be like us. Otherwise, we'd feel humiliated, as if we've been slapped hard in the face, laughed at!"

"But, president, we do this also for..." Ren Deshan protested with a reddening face.

Disappointed, Xie Da waved his hand and dragged his heavy steps toward the association's entrance. Upon reaching the entrance, he stopped and said, "When the president comes back, I will resign from the Yin Yang Master Association."

After entering the association, Xie Da made a phone call to Xie Xiaofeng...

At this moment, Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Chao, and Tang Jing had already returned to Room 501 in the Tianhong Hotel, waiting for Chen Hao's Yin Soul to come back.

After hanging up the phone with Xie Da, Xie Xiaofeng looked at Tang Chao and Tang Jing with an astonished expression and said, "That was a call from my grandfather just now. He told me that even though Chen Hao's natural lifespan had come to an end, he possesses an immortal body due to the sealing power on his left eye. However, his body has already been taken away by a malevolent ghost impersonating Taiyi Zhenren and stashed inside a yang wooden coffin!"

"His natural lifespan had come to an end?"

"An immortal body?"

Tang Jing and Tang Chao were also taken aback upon hearing this.

"It seems we can only wait for Chen Hao's Yin Soul to return before we ask him."

A few minutes later, the two red candles on the dressing table suddenly went out, then a mass of purple qi rose from the floor, and Chen Hao's Yin Soul returned to the mortal world.

"Where is my body?" Chen Hao asked in shock, "You didn't hide my body as a prank, did you?"

Tang Jing gave Chen Hao a disdainful glance and coldly said, "Do you think everyone is as foolish as you?"

Chen Hao's expression darkened as he asked, "Then where is my body?"

This time, Xie Xiaofeng stood up and walked over to Chen Hao. With a serious face, he said, "Chen Hao, your body was snatched by the people who were like brothers inside the van earlier and has been placed inside a yang wooden coffin."

"Yang wooden coffin?"

"Yang wooden coffin, just by hearing the name you should know that it's full of Yang Energy. So, by locking your body inside, they don't want your Yin Soul to return to it."

Chen Hao nodded in realization and nonchalantly said, "Then no problem. The urgent task now is to summon back those Yin Yang Masters' Yin Souls. Grandfather told me that we only have until the Yin Souls disperse for twelve hours, which is one day, to call back the Primordial Spirit. Time is running out. It's now 10:45, and I burned their Yin Souls at around 11:50 last night!"

"Chen Hao, have you already died once before? And do you have an immortal body? Also, what's the deal with your grandfather?" Xie Xiaofeng bombarded with several questions.

"The summoning of those Yin Souls is more urgent!" Chen Hao said anxiously.

Xie Xiaofeng suddenly stared at Chen Hao, paused for a moment, then nodded his head and said, "Chen Hao, they must be looking for your Yin Soul, so it would be best for you to find a place to hide. Leave the summoning of the Yin Souls to us."

Chen Hao shook his head and said as if it were no big deal, "There's not much time left now; the more people we have, the better our chances!"

"Chen Hao!" Xie Xiaofeng suddenly shouted loudly, "Don't you understand? If your Yin Soul is scattered by them, you'll never wake up again!"

Chen Hao also shouted back at Xie Xiaofeng, "Don't you understand either? If we don't summon back those Yin Yang Masters' Yin Souls within the hour, I might lose Ye Yuqiao!"

"Hey! You two, don't get worked up!" Tang Chao stood up at this moment, pulling Xie Xiaofeng away. He couldn't touch Chen Hao's Yin Soul. "Everyone is trying to help one another, so fighting about it is inappropriate. Chen Hao is right; the urgent task now is to summon back those Yin Souls, and Xie Xiaofeng is right, too; your current situation is indeed very dangerous..."

"Don't worry, everyone, I have this!" At that moment, Chen Hao pulled out the dagger that glowed with a green light, which he had received from Niu Tou—the protective blade of a former Nether King. "Don't underestimate this dagger. Not only can it take on Taiyi Zhenren and the Eight Great Law Kings, but it can deal with the Ghost King too!"

"You know about the Eight Great Law Kings and the Ghost King?" Tang Jing was quite surprised.

"Let's not talk about that now, come closer. I'll tell you about the ancestral technique of summoning and reviving spirits..."
