"Go tell Zhou Ke to lead fifty thousand troops to attack the Dayang Mountains immediately. Also, have him dispatch all the soldiers from the secret army camp of the Zhou Family to join the attack on the Dayang Mountains."

At this moment, Chen Hao was in the tent, contemplating how to deal with Zhao Chong in the future, as well as the words Niu Tou had repeated to him during the day. When he heard the secret message from Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao was startled and quickly asked in a panic, "Yuqiao, what's happened? Why haven't you come back yet?"

"It's nothing. I estimate it'll be a few days later." Ye Yuqiao spoke with a calm tone, and at this time, the trees of ice stones in her eyes were constantly expanding.

The trees of ice stones were getting closer and closer to the top of Falling Shade Mountain.

"A few days!" Chen Hao was shocked. "Is it that you're about to go to war with the Ghost King Battalion?"

Ye Yuqiao just hummed, saying, "Hurry and inform Zhou Ke!"

"Yuqiao, enter the Nether Acupoint immediately, then come back to my side!" Chen Hao was frantic. Since Ye Yuqiao did not have the Nether King's Power, and he was not by her side, he was very anxious and worried.

However, Ye Yuqiao did not respond to him again, nor did she have the time to pay attention to him.

At this time, the trees of ice stones were already within reach, and the allied soldiers of the Wu and Zheng families, who had formed a human wall, had completely lost hope and were prepared for death.

Just then, Ye Yuqiao's whole body ignited with flames, and immediately, the fiery wings on her back unfolded. Then, she flew out of the slope along the path the stone-throwing birds had moved in and out of, completely transforming into a firebird.

That moment, the originally deep purple night sky seemed to be set ablaze.

She circled rapidly over the top of Falling Shade Mountain, continuously spewing Purgatory Fire from her mouth.

Even the trees of ice stones that grew in the Polar Ice Land could not withstand the scorching heat of the Purgatory Fire.

So, after only two circles, the trunks of the trees of ice stones crashing towards the top of Falling Shade Mountain all melted into water, which, stirred by the hot wind caused by the flames, poured down on the Dayang Mountains like a torrential downpour.

Upon witnessing this scene, whether it was the soldiers of the Ghost King Battalion encircling from above or the allied soldiers of the three families, all were stunned into silence.

Before the soldiers of the Ghost King Battalion could recover, Ye Yuqiao, transformed into the firebird, had already spread her fiery wings before them, and then proceeded to spray flames at several square formations of the battalion.

Instantly, tens of thousands of soldiers from the battalion were thrown into chaos, scattering and fleeing towards the ground and sky.

The fire phoenix, into which Ye Yuqiao had transformed, flew toward the east, gradually retracting her fiery wings and the flames engulfing her body until she disappeared into the profound mountain scenery.

Just like that, with Ye Yuqiao's power alone, the allied forces of the Wu and Zheng families once again narrowly held onto Falling Shade Mountain.

Despite being outnumbered by the enemy, although the tens of thousands of soldiers from the Ghost King Battalion were now chaotic, the allied forces of the three families did not dare to leave their stronghold to chase after them, and continued to bomb with stone-throwing birds instead.

Not long after, Ye Yuqiao returned to the top of Falling Shade Mountain.

"Nether King, we owe you our gratitude for your aid. Otherwise, we would have feared not being able to hold out tonight," said Zheng Yang, the Clan Leader of the Zheng family, looking at Ye Yuqiao with deep gratitude.

"Yes, yes!" Wu Kun and Wang Yun, who stood beside him, nodded in agreement, their faces also filled with gratitude.

Ye Yuqiao squinted her eyes and said coldly, "Listen well. Make sure no one knows that the firebird just now was me, especially Chen Hao."

"Chen Hao!" Upon hearing this name, the three Clan Leaders were startled, then after a moment's pause, they all nodded slightly and said in unison, "Understood."

At this moment, Ye Yuqiao felt the Nether King's Heart and heard Chen Hao's urgent voice, "Yuqiao, what's happened to you? Answer me quickly."

"Chen Hao, I'm alright," Ye Yuqiao replied, feeling a warm sensation in her heart from Chen Hao's concern.

"You suddenly stopped talking just now, and it scared me to death. I thought something had happened to you."

"I was discussing matters with them, so I couldn't reply to you in time. It's my fault," Ye Yuqiao explained in an extremely gentle voice. Then, her tone shifted abruptly as she asked, "Chen Hao, did you go to inform Zhou Ke?"

"I am actually right in front of his tent now. I'll go tell him this moment."

After finishing his words, Chen Hao looked up at the tent before him and called out, "Clan Leader Zhou!"

"Is that Chen Hao?" Zhou Ke's surprised voice came immediately from inside the tent, "Come in quickly."

Once inside the tent, Chen Hao relayed the message entrusted to him by Ye Yuqiao to Zhou Ke.

Upon hearing it, Zhou Ke first ordered a soldier to take his secret letter and rush to his secret camp overnight. Then he gave the order to gather fifty thousand soldiers.

In less than a quarter of an hour, fifty thousand soldiers were neatly assembled on the various peaks of the Huiyin Mountains.

Seeing Zhou Ke about to mount his horse, Chen Hao suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, saying, "Clan Leader Zhou, take me with you."

Zhou Ke glanced at Chen Hao then repeatedly shook his head, saying, "No. The Nether King had instructed before he left that you are still recovering from a severe injury and must not join the troops in a campaign."

Chen Hao's expression darkened, looking very disappointed, and then he stepped aside, watching as Zhou Ke led the fifty thousand soldiers away in a grand procession.

"Yuqiao, I'm already alright and can join them in the campaign," Chen Hao sent another secret message to Ye Yuqiao.

"But you were unconscious for too long, and I'm still somewhat worried," Ye Yuqiao replied immediately, "Chen Hao, be good and focus on recovering for a while. There will definitely be a place for you to wield your skills in the future, don't be impatient."

"But now you don't have the Nether King's Power, and I'm not by your side. I'm very worried that you might encounter danger," Chen Hao countered, "Didn't you want me to promise to be by your side all the time?"

Ye Yuqiao was momentarily at a loss for words; indeed, her Yang Soul had asked Chen Hao to promise her that. She was reluctant to let Chen Hao accompany the troops to the Dayang Mountains because with Chen Hao there, she would be unable to transform into a phoenix and unleash her true power.

After a pause, Ye Yuqiao finally responded, "Then you need to rest well and quickly get back to your best condition. You'll be the one to protect your queen in the future."

"Alright, I will. Remember, if you encounter any danger, quickly hide in a Nether Acupoint," he said.

"Mm," Ye Yuqiao responded with a tone that was somewhat strange. Due to the nature of her blood, she couldn't tear through the air and hide in a Nether Acupoint anytime like her Yang Soul could.

..

..

Half an hour later.

Netherworld, Sunset Pass.

King Wumeng and King Shuanglin at Sunset Pass, alerted by the Ghost King, received a letter. This letter was sent back by the scouts they had dispatched to the Huiyin Mountains, informing them that Zhao Zhou's allied forces of tens of thousands had already left the Huiyin Mountains and were rushing toward the Dayang Mountains.

Having read the letter, King Wumeng and King Shuanglin immediately wrote a secret letter to the Ghost King and then set out from Sunset Pass with thirty thousand Crow Tribe warriors and ten thousand soldiers from the Ghost King Battalion.

The real battle in the Netherworld was about to unfold.
