The woman who came from the Purgatory Fire Pool stood atop the peak with tears streaming down her face.

Through the heart of the Netherworld, she had learned of Chen Hao's current situation, so she was very worried and sad at the moment.

"Chen Hao, I was about to have you finally, why were you foolish enough to give up your own life!" the woman cried out, her body trembling non-stop.

Her hatred for Ye Yuqiao grew a few notches in her heart at that moment.

She looked towards the southeast, where Zhao Chong, Ye Yuqiao, and the unconscious Chen Hao, among others, were rushing towards Huiyin Mountain, likely to arrive here before sunset today.

At that time, she and Zhao Chong's long-conspired plan was about to be implemented.

..

..

After escaping the Black Forest, the Dark Law King reached the Luobei Plains.

Seeing that Zhao Chong had not chased after him, he slowed down his pace. Now that King Wanfa was dead, he had to think carefully about how to report to the Ghost King upon his return, so as to not provoke the Ghost King's wrath due to the demise of King Wanfa.

Compared to King Wanfa, he was more eager to know whether Chen Hao was dead or alive.

After drifting in the air over the Luobei Plains for a while, he felt a familiar aura and power approaching.

The person rushing towards him from the front was King Shuanglin!

Therefore, he feigned a look of distress, panic, and sadness, quickening his pace forward.

Before long, the Dark Law King encountered King Shuanglin.

"Dark Law King!" King Shuanglin shouted the Dark Law King's name, his voice tinged with excitement, "What are you doing here? I heard that Chen Hao was in the team of Zhao Zhou's two families, did you see him?"

At this moment, King Shuanglin's heart was filled only with hatred, thinking only of killing Chen Hao, not noticing the complex, sorrowful emotions on the Dark Law King's face.

The Dark Law King nodded slightly, his face ashen.

"Hmph!" King Shuanglin grew increasingly agitated, "So, did you and King Wanfa just go to meet Chen Hao and Zhao Chong?"

The Dark Law King nodded again, feeling a slight disappointment in his heart.

"Did you engage them in battle? Oh yes," King Shuanglin's eyes began searching around the Dark Law King, only then noticing something amiss, "Where is King Wanfa? Why don't I see him?"

The Dark Law King did not reply but lowered his head even further.

"No!" King Shuanglin shook his head, his eyes wide with disbelief, "Could it be that King Wanfa... he..."

It took a long time for the Dark Law King to raise his head, with a look of despair and sadness, "King Wanfa is dead!"

"Ah!" King Shuanglin was petrified, as if turned to stone.

King Wanfa had recently made a trip alone to the Polar Ice Land, where he stayed for over a month. Just when everyone thought his chances were slim, he emerged alive from the Polar Ice Land two days ago, which was a tremendous boost to the morale of the Ghost King's people.

However, merely a day later, King Wanfa was dead.

This would be a devastating blow to the Ghost King Battalion, whose fighting spirit had just been kindled.

"Could it be Chen Hao's doing?" King Shuanglin asked the Dark Law King, his only hope at this moment being that King Wanfa died at the hands of anyone other than Chen Hao. Otherwise, Chen Hao would become a terrifying presence similar to an ancient demon for any of them.

However, the answer from the Dark Law King disappointed King Shuanglin.

"Chen Hao again!" King Shuanglin roared to the heavens, his chest burning with rage, "Why is it Chen Hao again! He has already killed four of our Dharma Kings!"

The Dark Law King patted King Shuanglin's shoulder and said, "However, it seems that little brat Chen Hao is also dead."

"Dead?" A glint of light passed through King Shuanglin's dull eyes, "You mean he perished together with King Wanfa?"

The Dark Law King hesitated before nodding.

"What exactly happened?"

"Come back to Netherworld City with me to report this to the Ghost King."

..

..

What King Wanfa and the Dark Law King did not know was that at this time, the Ghost King was not inside the Netherworld City but on the barren hills to the west of the Netherworld City.

At this moment, tremendous noises kept coming from the barren hills. Accompanying these noises were violent tremors and repeated fierce collisions between blade light and fire.

The city guard battalion that responded quickly had already surrounded the barren hills and had released hundreds of tiger-headed dogs into the hills to deal with King Nanlin.

Seeing the hills suddenly swarming with tiger-headed dogs that had tiger heads and dog bodies rushing fiercely towards him, King Nanlin immediately bit his right thumb, wrote a Talisman Seal on his left palm, and then pressed his left palm onto the ground beneath his feet.

Just then, the Ghost King, transformed into a black shadow, struck from his right side, directly kicking King Nanlin from the bottom of this mountain peak across to the top of another. He sunk deep into the cliffside.

"Aww-roar!" Two nearby black tiger-headed dogs pounced toward King Nanlin, who was trapped in the stone wall.

Just as the tiger-headed dogs were about to reach King Nanlin, two huge branches suddenly blocked in front of him, the branches laden with vibrant green leaves. Then, like two thick arms, the branches swatted the two tiger-headed dogs far away.

Seeing this, the Ghost King's eyes flashed. He discovered to his surprise that there were suddenly many tree people in the woods.

These tree people had been summoned by King Nanlin using ancient sealing magic.

Suddenly, two thick branches stabbed towards the Ghost King from behind. The Ghost King leaped into the air, spun around, and with a raise of the long blade in his hand, he slashed at the tree person ambushing him. A flash of purple light, and the tree person was cleaved in two.

The long blade in the Ghost King's hand was named the Ghost General. It was forged from hellish Xuan iron and Purgatory Fire back when the Ghost King ruled over Hell. The most distinctive feature of this long blade was when it was forged, the Ghost King cast the Yin Souls of tens of thousands of malevolent spirits from the Eighteen Levels of Hell into the furnace, forging the Blade Soul of the blade.

It could be said that the Ghost General was one of the most malevolent weapons in the Netherworld.

Having killed the tree person, the Ghost King continued, holding the Ghost King blade, leaping toward the mountain top where King Nanlin was.

A branch assaulted him from the woods below at that moment, but a tiger-headed dog in mid-flight struck it, breaking the branch forcefully and then both plunged downwards.

Before they hit the ground, the tiger-headed dog was struck by a tree person's branch arm, and then it was viciously smashed against the cliffside.

"Aww-roar!" Hundreds of tiger-headed dogs and tree people clashed.

Suddenly, the sky above was aflame with light.

The city guards' archers, stationed on high grounds nearby, shot flaming arrows towards the tree people.

The tree people, who feared fire, were thrown into confusion. While busy confronting the tiger-headed dogs, they also had to dodge the incoming arrows.

Seeing this, King Nanlin, who had already freed himself from the cliffside, let out a furious roar. Instantly, all the trees on the mountain were awakened, uprooting themselves...
