The Great Roc emerged from the sea of fire below.

Suddenly, the shaking within the Feipeng Sect intensified, resulting in countless cracks appearing on the surrounding walls and beneath Chen Hao's feet.

Watching the Great Roc approach rapidly with its burning wings, Chen Hao immediately employed his qinggong to leave the Feipeng Sect and then hurried towards the exit of the entire Barrier.

Even after he had left the Barrier and reached the bamboo forest in front of the Barrier's gate, the Great Roc did not follow.

Not far away, upon seeing Chen Hao emerge, Hua Shan immediately deactivated the spatial Barrier he had set up around Qingyun Mountain.

"Kid, come over here!" Hua Shan called out loudly to Chen Hao. Once Chen Hao approached, Hua Shan activated the spatial Barrier again to prevent the toxic gases from spreading to nearby villages and mountain towns in case Qingyun Mountain collapsed.

"Chen Hao, were you able to retrieve my wife's Yin Soul from the clutches of that villain Luo Pengfei?" Yao Qingyuan anxiously looked at Chen Hao and asked with urgency in his eyes.

Chen Hao's face darkened, and his brows furrowed as he wanted to surprise Yao Qingyuan.

Seeing Chen Hao's expression, Tang Jing by his side let out an astonished "Ah," her face immediately filled with dismay.

Yao Qingyuan, meanwhile, had turned ashen, utterly heartbroken.

"Boyfriend, being naughty again?" At this moment, Ye Yuqiao's voice echoed in Chen Hao's mind.

"Haha!" Chen Hao chuckled inwardly, "Girlfriend, you'd better bring out his wife's soul for him to meet."

Ye Yuqiao agreed, and soon a purple vortex appeared between Yao Qingyuan and Chen Hao. Then Ye Yuqiao emerged from it with the Yin Soul of Yao Qingyuan's wife.

"Yuan Ge!" Yao Qingyuan's wife called out to him excitedly at first and then burst into tears.

"Ah!" Yao Qingyuan, who had been hanging his head, immediately looked up and, upon seeing his wife whom he had longed for day and night, first showed a look of disbelief, and then his entire being seemed to petrify, with tears streaming down his face just like his wife's.

After a long time, seeing the two Yin Souls still staring at each other without words or action, Chen Hao became somewhat anxious for them. He stepped forward, grabbed Yao Qingyuan's hand, and brought him to his wife, saying, "It's been so long since you've seen each other, give each other a hug now!"

Only then did Yao Qingyuan and his wife rush toward each other, embracing tightly and weeping uncontrollably.

For two people who hadn't seen each other in over two hundred years, this reunion felt strange at first, as if everything had changed. Now, hugging each other again, they were overwhelmed by the flood of past memories, and the longing they had felt for each other turned into endless tears.

Chen Hao stepped back and stood beside Ye Yuqiao, then silently thought to himself, "Yuqiao, fate won't fail the lovers in the end. With our destiny intertwined, we're sure to have a happy ending too."

"Mm," Ye Yuqiao nodded slightly, looking at the fulfilled ending of Yao Qingyuan and his wife, she couldn't help feeling confident about her own future with Chen Hao.

"Boom!" A loud rumbling sound rose as the violently trembling ground started to undulate.

Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao turned their heads and shifted their gazes to Qingyun Mountain, just to see the entire mountain slowly collapsing, with billowing dust and the stench of decay spewing from its peak.

"Where did the Great Roc go?" Ye Yuqiao wondered, "I thought it would chase after you to kill you."

"I thought so too," Chen Hao said, while activating his Nether Vision in his left eye.

Seconds later, his vision penetrated the stones and he saw inside the Feipeng Sect. There, a forty-meter-long boulder stood within the sea of fire. After closely observing for a while, Chen Hao was surprised to discover that this unimaginably large stone was actually the Great Roc itself transformed.

Two minutes later, the entirety of Qingyun Mountain suddenly stopped collapsing—the colossal boulder transformed by the great roc held against Qingyun Mountain like a mighty pin stabilizing the sea.

A few more minutes passed, and the putrid miasma that pervaded the space within the barrier was absorbed by the great boulder into Qingyun Mountain. The billowing dust settled down over Qingyun Mountain, seemingly draping the lush greenery in a layer of earthy yellow gauze.

"It's all right now!" Chen Hao looked towards Hua Shan. For him, the conclusion where Luo Pengfei and Yao Qingyuan were eliminated, the couple reunited, and Qingyun Mountain remained intact was the best possible outcome.

Hua Shan smiled and nodded, then retracted the spatial barrier that surrounded Qingyun Mountain.

At this moment, Yao Qingyuan and his wife had already separated, standing to one side whispering to each other, their faces brimming with sweet, blissful smiles.

"Mr. Yao, congratulations on you and your wife's reunion!" Chen Hao called out to Yao Qingyuan with a smile.

Yao Qingyuan turned his head towards Chen Hao and immediately, along with his wife, knelt on the ground, their faces full of gratitude, "Everyone, we really can't thank you enough, if it weren't for you..."

"No, no, no! Mr. Yao, Mrs. Yao, we can't accept such a gesture!" Chen Hao and the group hastily stepped forward to help Yao Qingyuan and his wife back to their feet.

"If it weren't for your covert assistance, we wouldn't have been able to clear the Soul Corpses so swiftly and avert this crisis," Chen Hao said.

"But I am the one who created those Soul Corpses, I'm the main culprit. I was merely trying to lessen my own sins," he replied.

After a while, Chen Hao helped Yao Qingyuan and his wife transition to the Netherworld. Immediately afterwards, the group, led by Hua Shan, returned in the blink of an eye to the front doors of the Yin Yang Master Association's headquarters in D City, East Country.

"Boss, Chen Hao, Tang Jing, Xie Xiaofeng, you're finally back!" As soon as they appeared, Lin Xiaofan came forward to greet them.

Ye Yuqiao frowned slightly—Lin Xiaofan had called out to everyone except her.

"Xiaofan!" Tang Jing excitedly rushed forwards to embrace Lin Xiaofan. The two had always been desk partners and best friends, "I never thought I'd see you here! I almost died missing you. Let me see if you've gotten thinner or fatter."

After speaking, the two parted. While Tang Jing was sizing up Lin Xiaofan, Xie Xiaofeng walked up to Lin Xiaofan and stammered, "Xiaofan, are you, you, you doing well recently?"

Lin Xiaofan smiled and nodded, then stepped forward to give Xie Xiaofeng a hug.

"Shouldn't you go up and give your old flame a hug too?" Ye Yuqiao whispered at that moment in Chen Hao's ear.

"No need, I already had a hug last night!" Chen Hao joked, then quickly hooked his arm around Ye Yuqiao's waist before she could storm off in a huff, "I just love seeing you jealous."

"I hate you!"

Just then, "Boss, boss!" a chorus of voices came from behind Hua Shan.

Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao looked towards where the voices were coming from and saw Hua Shan's subordinates with their peculiar abilities approaching.

Suddenly, Chen Hao's eyes sparkled with anticipation!

Among Hua Shan's subordinates, he spotted an unexpected acquaintance.

That person was Lin Xiaofan's boyfriend—Lin Yifei.
