After the Yin Soul entered the Barrier, Ye Yuqiao and Chen Hao emerged from the shadows.

Compared to outside the Barrier, the tremors within were even stronger. Fortunately, the walls around the corridor were very sturdy, and no stones had fallen for the time being.

At this moment, Hua Shan, Xie Xiaofeng, and Tang Jing were waiting at the entrance. Seeing Ye Yuqiao hugging Chen Hao's waist of her own accord, the three of them thought that Ye Yuqiao and Chen Hao had reconciled.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Tang Jing let out a sharp scream. After several violent tremors, the walls around the corridor finally tore, and a large rock suddenly fell in front of Tang Jing.

Following that, chunks of various sizes of broken stones peeled off from the walls around.

"Earth spell, solidify!" Xie Xiaofeng immediately used the Five Elements Spell to stop the falling rocks.

"What's going on?" Tang Jing asked, her voice high-pitched and trembling with fright.

Chen Hao furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought, soon recalling the encounter with Yao Qingyuan here two days prior when he had threatened to destroy this place, leading him to suspect whether Yao Qingyuan had detonated all the explosive Soul Corpses.

Next, he activated Nether Vision in his left eye and looked into the Barrier where the Soul Corpses were refined.

Before long, he saw Yao Qingyuan lying slant on the stairways between the fourth and fifth levels of the Barrier, trapped in the mixed corpse Qi and unable to move forward or back.

Below Yao Qingyuan, the bottom level of the Barrier had already been devoured by a fierce fire, and from the second floor to the very top seventeenth floor, the ground had mostly collapsed. Most of the yin-yang urns that had been laid out on each floor had also tumbled into the fierce sea of flames below.

The Soul Corpses within those yin-yang urns were thus destroyed by the fire, and the Qi from all types of Soul Corpses mixed together, slowly rising up and gradually filling the entire Barrier.

"Yao Qingyuan has detonated all the bombs!" Chen Hao exclaimed. "He's trapped inside, I'm going to rescue him first."

"Be careful!" Ye Yuqiao looked at Chen Hao and cautioned, "That corpse Qi might be poisonous."

"Hmm!" Then, with a smile and a nod, he swiftly made his way to the entrance of the Soul Corpse Barrier.

Having previously been taken into the Barrier for refining Soul Corpses by Yao Qingyuan, Chen Hao knew the unlocking runes to enter the Barrier.

Hence, as he wrote the unlocking runes at the entrance of the Barrier with his fingers, he pushed the Yang Energy inside him out of his body, circulating it around himself. By doing so, he would be able to use this Yang Energy to fend off the invasion of the corpse Qi from hell later on.

After entering, Chen Hao leaped from the vast crack on the ninth floor, landing beside Yao Qingyuan, who was trapped on the stairs.

Feeling the approach of a strong Yang Energy, Yao Qingyuan, who had already closed his eyes in resignation to the invasion of corpse Qi and the scattering of his soul, suddenly opened his eyes. Seeing Chen Hao, he exclaimed with surprise, "Chen Hao, it's you! I didn't expect to see you again! How are things outside, have you managed to eliminate those six thousand Soul Corpses?"

Touched slightly by Yao Qingyuan's concern over others before his own safety at this moment, Chen Hao nodded, and said with a smile, "Yes, they've all been cleared out. I'm here now to capture Luo Pengfei."

"Ah, that's great!" Yao Qingyuan's face lit up with joy.

"Let's get you out of here first."

Worried that the Yang Energy on him would harm Yao Qingyuan's Yin Soul, Chen Hao immediately retracted the Yang Energy into his body and instead forced out the Nether King's Power from within him to defend against the surrounding corpse Qi. Then, he led Yao Qingyuan out of the Barrier for refining Soul Corpses.

Seeing Yao Qingyuan's attire, Hua Shan couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, isn't this a man from ancient times?"

While activating Nether Vision in his left eye to look inside the Feipeng Sect, Chen Hao asked, "Luo Pengfei is currently inside the Feipeng Sect, right?"

Yao Qingyuan nodded, then said gloomily, "Yes, he's inside, but it must be chaos in there now."

"Indeed!" Chen Hao nodded slightly. At this moment, he saw that due to the explosion of all the explosive Soul Corpses, the Feipeng Sect, which resembled a large coliseum, had undergone widespread collapse. The bottom layer was filled with Soul Corpses either crushed by rocks or trampled to death, and the other living Soul Corpses were scurrying around like headless flies, climbing over mountains of corpses until they were knocked down and trampled to death by others.

The Soul Corpses inside the Feipeng Sect had maintained their clarity and rationality thanks to the continuous supply of Yin Qi, making them no different from ordinary people.

Some of the Martial Soul Corpses who could perform Qinggong or had the climbing abilities of spiders and geckos had taken refuge in high places, thus escaping this disaster. Unfortunately, many of them were unlucky enough to fall to the bottom layer due to the collapsing floor beneath their feet or the peeling walls in front of them.

Meanwhile, the garden on the fifth floor where the Sect Hierarch's wife and several concubines lived had been fortunate to get stuck above the third floor instead of falling. Despite this, with each violent tremor, the garden teetered, and at any moment it could fall.

At this moment, Luo Pengfei was inside this garden, with his Sect Hierarch's wife standing next to him. Compared to the chaotic Soul Corpses below, Luo Pengfei seemed much calmer.

As soon as the tremors subsided, he would be able to use the Five Elements Restoration Spell to restore everything here to its original state. The mountainous pile of Soul Corpses' bodies below could also be revived by him.

Ten minutes later, the shaking within the Feipeng Sect ceased. Then, Luo Pengfei walked to the edge of the garden, first casting a cold glance at the mountain of Soul Corpses' bodies below, then closed his eyes and performed the Five Elements Restoration Spell.

Seconds later, the garden floor where he stood slowly rose back to its original position. At the same time, broken stones, earth, floor tiles, flower pots, and scattered petals also rose up, eventually returning to their initial state.

Next, the fourth layer of the Feipeng Sect was restored, followed by the third, second, and finally, the first.

"Everything inside has been restored to its original state!" Chen Hao exclaimed, his face etched with disbelief.

"I guess soon all those Soul Corpses will come back to life!" Ye Yuqiao said.

"Mr. Yao," Chen Hao turned back to look at Yao Qingyuan, whose brows were tightly furrowed, "Is there any chance that those bomb Soul Corpses could come back to life again?"

Yao Qingyuan shook his head and said, "Did you see Luo Pengfei using a forbidden spell to resurrect the dead Soul Corpses?"

Chen Hao nodded.

"Don't worry, Luo Pengfei is using the Five Elements Forbidden Restoration Spell, which can't resurrect Soul Corpses whose Primordial Spirits and Primordial Souls have been burned away. At most, it can only restore their burnt bodies back to ashes," Yao Qingyuan explained to Chen Hao.

"That's a relief!" Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. After a pause, he continued to ask, "Is the Barrier used for refining Soul Corpses connected to the Barriers within the Feipeng Sect?"

"Yes!" Yao Qingyuan nodded, "Separated by a thick layer of rock, only to be divided by Barriers set up by Luo Pengfei individually."

"Does that mean if I break through those two Barriers and the back wall between them, I could direct the fire from within the Soul Corpse refining Barrier into the Feipeng Sect?"

Hearing Chen Hao say this, Yao Qingyuan's eyes glinted with surprise and he said, "It's possible, but these are Barriers cast with forbidden arts, extremely difficult to break through. I've been here for over two hundred years and haven't found a way to break them."

Just then, Ye Yuqiao stepped forward to the entrance of the Barrier where the Soul Corpses were refined and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, a surge of black Nether King's Power flowed out from within her, breaking the Seal Barrier directly.

Seeing this, everyone present was dumbstruck.

"Boyfriend, I used too much of the Nether King's Power last night, but the remaining should just be able to break the Feipeng Sect's Barrier," Ye Yuqiao telepathically communicated to Chen Hao.

"Yeah, yeah, no worries, the lost Nether King's Power can be replenished later," Chen Hao said jokingly.

Startled, Yao Qingyuan snapped out of his reverie and, looking at Chen Hao, said, "There are tens of meters of solid rock between these two Barriers, I'm afraid it might be difficult to..."

"Leave that to me!" Xie Xiaofeng laughed, "For me, this is too easy!"

Having said that, Xie Xiaofeng stood on the edge of the entrance to the Barrier where the Soul Corpses were refined, brought his palms together and raised a pair of closely touching index fingers, and shouted loudly, "Five Elements Forbidden Spell, Shatterstone Timber!"

The moment his words fell, the ground began to tremble slightly, and a thirty-meter-diameter trunk slowly emerged from beneath the wall of the Soul Corpse refining Barrier. Eventually, when the entire trunk left the wall, it was over seventy meters long!

Immediately after, Xie Xiaofeng twisted violently to the left, and the massive trunk swiftly burrowed into the rocky layer connecting to the Feipeng Sect's Barrier. Then, thick and twisted roots sprouted from the trunk and penetrated deep into the rock.

Xie Xiaofeng clenched his teeth and let out a roar, his face turning pale while sweat beaded on his forehead.

Half a minute later, under Xie Xiaofeng's persistence, the entire trunk was buried into the rocky layer.

"Goddess, quick, break the Barrier on that side, the rock layer is about to split!" Xie Xiaofeng cried out exhaustingly.

At that moment, the trunk buried within the rock layer began to slowly rotate, and cracks started to appear on the walls immediately.

Ye Yuqiao coldly uttered an "Mhm," then took Chen Hao's hand and walked to the entrance of the Feipeng Sect's Barrier.

Just like before, after opening her closed eyes, a powerful surge of Nether King's Power erupted from inside her, shattering the Feipeng Sect's Barrier. Right after, she fell backwards into Chen Hao's arms.

Her face was pale from overexerting the Nether King's Power, and she gasped for air.

"Yuqiao, are you alright?" Chen Hao asked worriedly.

"Boyfriend, hold me tight, I'm so cold!"

"Aargh!" At that moment, Xie Xiaofeng let out a gut-wrenching scream.

"Sizzling!" The sound of the rock layer splitting came from within.

Just then, Xie Xiaofeng withdrew his Five Elements Magic, causing the drill-like trunk to vanish from the rocky layer.

"Boom... Boom, boom, boom!" The rock layer that separated the barriers for refining Soul Corpses and the Feipeng Sect Barrier collapse with thunderous noise.

Meanwhile, at the Feipeng Sect, thousands of freshly resurrected Soul Corpses were still chanting, "Long live the Sect Hierarch!"
