When Chen Hao's Yin Soul left his body, Du Xiao immediately cast a spell, driving several hundred talismans forged from Yang Energy from the Wan Symbol Array onto Chen Hao's Yin Soul, igniting it from top to bottom, and in the blink of an eye, it was burned completely clean.

"Haha!" Du Xiao laughed loudly, "We have eliminated that kid Chen Hao!"

The other four council members also smiled, feeling equally delighted at having gotten rid of Chen Hao.

However.

Half a minute later, Chen Hao's body suddenly disappeared within the Wan Symbol Array, rather than falling onto the grass as expected.

Seeing this, the expressions of the five changed abruptly, a mix of confusion and shock overtaking their faces.

"This..." Xiao Yutai was so frightened that he was dumbstruck.

"How did Chen Hao's body just vanish into thin air?" Huang Can exclaimed while looking around in astonishment.

"We did destroy his Yin Soul just now, didn't we?" Mao Ruihua asked anxiously.

Du Xiao waved his hands again and again to indicate that the others should not be too nervous and said, "Perhaps the enchanted power on his left eye took his body away, but anyway, his lifespan was already over, and his Yin Soul was indeed just destroyed by us, and that's what counts."

"Who said my Yin Soul has been destroyed by you?"

At that moment, a voice came from not far away.

The five were startled, then turned their heads in unison toward Lin Xiaofan and the silver-haired boy.

At this point, there was an additional person's voice coming from Lin Xiaofan, and that person was Chen Hao.

Just like the previous night, Lin Xiaofan had used the Mirror Manipulation Technique at the moment Chen Hao's Yin Soul was being pulled out to bring him out of the Wan Symbol Array Barrier. And the Chen Hao's Yin Soul that was later burned by Du Xiao and the council members, as well as the Chen Hao's body that disappeared, were merely Chen Hao's reflections in the Mirror Realm.

Seeing that it was Chen Hao, all five council members were stunned.

"Hmph!" Chen Hao sneered, "I nearly fell into the hands of you five, but I swear I will not give you this chance again! 'Sword Qi Jue'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a swirl of Sword Qi burst forth from Chen Hao like a wild wind, ravaging through the five council members in an instant.

"Ugh!" The five screamed in agony.

When the Sword Qi had passed, only Huang Can and Du Xiao were still standing with difficulty, while the other three had been knocked down by the Sword Qi.

"Xiaofan, would you take these two for me?" Chen Hao turned to Lin Xiaofan and asked, "I have another person to chase after."

"Chase after!" Lin Xiaofan was shocked by Chen Hao's words. After a pause, she nodded and said, "Alright, go ahead, I will give them a severe lesson for you! Be careful, and remember to come back and find me after you've settled everything."

"Okay!" Chen Hao nodded and then leapt into the air and disappeared.

After Chen Hao had gone far away, Lin Xiaofan, with her face serene, looked towards Huang Can and Du Xiao, and said to the silver-haired boy beside her, "I'll pick a deserted place for you to beat them up as you wish."

The silver-haired boy uttered an "Mm."

Lin Xiaofan raised the mirror in her hand towards Huang Can and Du Xiao, and then waved her right hand a couple of times. Instantly, Huang Can and Du Xiao disappeared from sight; they had been taken into the Mirror Realm by Lin Xiaofan.

Following that, Lin Xiaofan gently patted the silver-haired boy's left shoulder with her right hand, and he, too, was brought into the Mirror Realm.

After a mere half-minute, the silver-haired boy emerged from the mirror.

"Done!" the silver-haired boy said with a smile.

"Indeed very quick!"

At this moment, Chen Hao, who was hurrying to the Feipeng Sect, had already communicated briefly with Ye Yuqiao through the Nether King Orchid Heart and explained the events that had occurred at the Yin Yang Master Association headquarters.

Meanwhile, Ye Yuqiao and her group had just finished clearing up the last of the Soul Corpses and, led by Hua Shan, had arrived at the entrance to the Feipeng Sect Barrier.

Just as Chen Hao was preparing to ask Ye Yu to have Hua Shan take him to the Feipeng Sect, a black shadow suddenly appeared before him, and then Ye Yuqiao herself emerged from it.

Seeing the pallor and tiredness on Ye Yuqiao's face, Chen Hao's heart ached, and he reached out with both hands intending to hold hers.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yuqiao dodged away, her expressionless face asking, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"

Chen Hao's expression darkened, and he sighed inwardly, realizing he couldn't hide anything from Ye Yuqiao, and then said, "Your Majesty, I met Lin Xiaofan last night."

"What did you say!" Ye Yuqiao's eyebrows furrowed, her face turned ashen, "You're saying she appeared last night?"

Chen Hao twisted his mouth ruefully and nodded.

"Then why didn't you tell me this when we talked this morning!" Ye Yuqiao asked angrily.

"This... I was afraid of upsetting you, so I didn't tell you," he replied.

"Why would I be upset?" Ye Yuqiao demanded, staring at Chen Hao with a scrutinizing gaze, "Is it because you two did something shameful?"

Chen Hao was flustered, waving his hands and shaking his head as he said, "How could that possibly be!"

Immediately after, Chen Hao closed his eyes, and in his mind, he began to recall last night when Lin Xiaofan came to find him at the hotel and how he was rescued from the barrier.

However, when Chen Hao opened his eyes, Ye Yuqiao was no longer in front of him.

"Yuqiao, where did you go?" Chen Hao anxiously called out Ye Yuqiao's name in his heart while looking around, "Yuqiao, Yuqiao!"

It wasn't until two minutes later that Ye Yuqiao appeared in front of Chen Hao again.

By that time, her eyes were already brimming with tears, and her voice was hoarse as she said, "If it weren't for the urgent matter at hand, I wouldn't even want to bother with you! You jerk."

Chen Hao stepped forward, gripping Ye Yuqiao's left hand with his own left hand, while his right hand gently wiped the tears from the corners of Ye Yuqiao's eyes, speaking with an apologetic tone, "Yuqiao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hidden this from you!"

"Get away, don't touch me!" Ye Yuqiao pushed Chen Hao away with her right hand, and two lines of tears finally fell from her eyes, unable to hold back any longer.

Chen Hao, of course, didn't let go, instead holding Ye Yuqiao in his arms.

"You were out all night busy with them until now, and here you are, in the arms of your ex-girlfriend," Ye Yuqiao said, her voice filled with complaints and grief, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't care about the terrible consequences those Soul Corpses might cause. What hurts me the most is that you even considered hiding it from me! If I didn't have the Nether King's Heart and couldn't know what you were thinking, would you sneak around doing things behind my back?"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Yuqiao, I was wrong, please don't be mad anymore, okay? I promise, I'll be completely honest with you next time."

Ye Yuqiao didn't speak again, instead crying in Chen Hao's arms.

It wasn't long before Ye Yuqiao disengaged from Chen Hao's embrace and said indifferently, "Let's go, we can talk about this matter later!"

After she spoke, Ye Yuqiao disappeared with Chen Hao, arriving instantaneously at the entrance to the Feipeng Sect's barrier in Qingyun Mountain.

At this moment, Wang Lan, Xie Xiaofeng, and Tang Jing were standing at the entrance to the barrier, waiting.

"Yo, beauty, why were you so slow this time?" Wang Lan asked with a smile.

Ye Yuqiao didn't respond, instead looking ahead with an expressionless face that made her seem extremely detached.

"Yuqiao," Tang Jing frowned and then slowly walked up to Ye Yuqiao, "Have you been crying?"

After saying this, Tang Jing angrily raised her hand to strike Chen Hao, exclaiming furiously, "You jerk, you made Yuqiao cry! Could it be because of last night..."

"It's because of Lin Xiaofan, isn't it!" Wang Lan said with a slight smile, "Seems like my insistence that she shouldn't come with us was right, but I never expected this girl would still show up."

Upon hearing the name Lin Xiaofan, Tang Jing and Xie Xiaofeng were immediately stunned into silence. Without any need for Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao to explain, they both guessed what might have happened.

"You knew about my history with Lin Xiaofan?" Chen Hao asked Wang Lan in surprise.

"I've known about you for a long time!" Wang Lan explained, still smiling slightly, "I just didn't expect that you would end up becoming what you are today. If I had known earlier, I would have invited you to join us."

"Back then?" Chen Hao's eyes were full of confusion, "When was that?"

Wang Lan shrugged and sighed, "Some things are in the past, and dwelling on them brings no benefit. Why bother causing yourself trouble?"

But the more Wang Lan said this, the more Chen Hao wanted to know. Considering Lin Xiaofan had mentioned last night that she had joined Wang Lan's mysterious organization before they had broken up, he speculated whether Wang Lan had met him before the breakup with Lin Xiaofan and whether Lin Xiaofan had her reasons for ending things—reasons that were tied to her extraordinary abilities.

"If things are truly as you think, are you planning on going back to your ex-girlfriend and picking up where you left off?" This time, Ye Yuqiao's voice suddenly echoed in Chen Hao's mind.

"Ah!" Chen Hao was astonished, and after a pause, he hurriedly clarified, "Yuqiao, that's not true, I'm just curious."

"You know what's in your heart best! I just want to tell you, if you really want to do that, I..."

Ye Yuqiao's voice choked off.

Hearing Ye Yuqiao say this, Chen Hao's face darkened, his heart filling with a surge of bitterness and grievance. He took a moment and thought to himself, "Just now you said you'd go clear out those Soul Corpses for me, and am I not challenging the Dharma Kings one by one for your sake? Don't you understand my feelings?"

"Idiot, my goddess, let's go inside first, we can talk later," Xie Xiaofeng said at that moment.

"Alright!"

After Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Wang Lan entered the Feipeng Sect's barrier consecutively, Chen Hao suddenly grabbed Ye Yuqiao's hand.

"No, I won't feel at ease if we don't clear this up!" Chen Hao said.

"I don't want to say a word to you right now," Ye Yuqiao replied coldly, then broke free from Chen Hao's hand.

Seeing Ye Yuqiao about to enter the barrier and transform into a shadow, a puzzled Chen Hao suddenly turned Ye Yuqiao around to face him and pressed her gently against the cliff for a forceful kiss.

"Mmm!" Ye Yuqiao's eyes suddenly widened several times over.

"You jerk, I'm still mad at you!" Ye Yuqiao sent a private message to Chen Hao.

Inside the barrier at this time.

Luo Pengfei and Yao Qingyuan were crafting Soul Corpses at the very bottom of the barrier.
