Chen Hao deactivated the Nether Vision Technique and suddenly realized why there was no one around the vast sleeping chamber.

As the saying goes, one shouldn't air one's dirty laundry in public. The current Dust King, Chen Yu, did not allow others to know about the conflict between him and the queen, let alone let the news of him forcibly taking the queen's chambers spread, so he had ordered the guards and maids to stay away from the sleeping chamber.

"Chen Ji's son has already been killed, what should we do now?" Chen Hao furrowed his brows and said.

The Dust King Chen Ji had ordered Chen Hao to kill Chen Yu, then let the child he had with Yingji inherit the throne. However, tens of thousands of years ago, to eliminate future troubles, Chen Yu eradicated the lineage by killing the child that Chen Ji and Yingji had borne.

After thinking for a while, Chen Hao approached the sleeping chamber, thinking that he would kill Chen Yu first and then consider his next move.

As he quietly approached the window of the sleeping chamber, Chen Yu had already disengaged from Yingji, gasping for air in great heaves.

Yingji was still crying.

"Yingji, I want a son," Chen Yu's pleading voice faintly passed through the window screen into Chen Hao's ears, "I beg you! Apart from you, I really don't want to touch any other woman. As for the sin of killing your child, I will make up for it with the careful protection for the rest of my life, okay?"

Yingji's sobs grew increasingly louder as she was torn between avenging her son and forgiving Chen Yu.

"Why, if only you hadn't killed Xiao'er back then, it would have been so good if you hadn't!" Yingji cried and said.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, can you forgive me if you forget the hatred?"

"Ah!" Yingji let out a loud shriek, the image of her son Xiao'er dying a terrible death appearing in her mind again, "Don't come near me, I will not forgive you!"

Hearing the conversation between Chen Yu and Yingji inside the room, Chen Hao could not bear to interrupt.

Only after a while, when the two had finished talking and Chen Yu was getting dressed to leave, did Chen Hao blow open the window like a gust of wind and stormed into the room.

He first knocked out Yingji, who was hiding in the quilt trembling and sobbing, then leapt in front of Chen Yu and clutched his throat with his right hand.

The entire process took no more than the blink of an eye. Chen Yu had no time to react. He could not believe that someone would dare to break into the palace to assassinate him.

"The Dust King Ring!" Chen Yu's eyes shone with recognition, he recognized the ring on Chen Hao's right hand immediately, "Who are you, and why do you have the Dust King Ring?"

The Dust King Ring was something only those who became the Dust King were entitled to wear, but it had disappeared along with his brother Chen Ji's escape.

For tens of thousands of years, Chen Yu had never stopped sending people to search for Chen Ji's whereabouts in the Dust Realm. Besides wanting to completely eradicate Chen Ji, he also wanted to obtain the Dust King Ring and the Sword of Dust that were in Chen Ji's possession.

Since there had been no news of Chen Ji for tens of thousands of years, Chen Yu assumed Chen Ji had died and that the Dust King Ring and the Sword of Dust had sunk to the bottom of the sea with his death.

Unexpectedly, he saw the Dust King Ring today, but it was on the hand of an unfamiliar young man.

"I am here to kill you on the orders of Chen Ji!" Chen Hao said coldly, "Actually, I didn't really want to kill you, I just wanted to bring you to your brother alive."

"Why then did you suddenly change your mind?" Chen Yu asked with narrowed eyes, showing no fear.

"Because I heard you say that you killed his son," Chen Hao explained, "You wouldn't even spare a child!"

"If I hadn't killed him back then, he would be about your age by now, and it's very likely that it would be him standing in front of me at this moment!" Chen Yu said with a cold laugh, "So seeing you, I feel I should have killed him back then!"

With that, Chen Yu's laughter grew louder and louder.

"So I should learn from you," Chen Hao said angrily, "and kill you as quickly as possible, not giving you a chance to catch your breath."

"You think you can kill me? How delusional!"

Chen Hao spread his left hand and pressed down firmly on top of Chen Yu's head, twisting hard. With a "crack," Chen Yu's neck was broken.

In an instant, the Chen Yu in front of him turned into a pile of dust that fell to the ground.

Then, that pile of dust drifted towards the south wall and resumed the original form of Chen Yu. He grabbed a sword from the wall, drew it from its sheath, and laughed, "With just the power from the Dust King Ring, you can't kill me!"

Chen Hao sneered disdainfully, then took off the Dust King Ring from his right hand and said indifferently, "I don't need the power of this broken ring!"

Chen Yu was shocked. He suddenly felt a powerful surge of Yin Qi Spiritual Power emanating from Chen Hao's body.

"How is that possible!" Chen Yu shook his head repeatedly, in disbelief, "How can you still use the Yin Qi Spiritual Power within you!"

"Because," Chen Hao's mouth curved slightly upwards, a black and purple light flashing in his left eye, "of the enchantment power in my left eye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black and purple dragon of fire shot out from his left eye.

...

Night fell.

Carrying the unconscious Yingji on his shoulder, Chen Hao returned to the mountain formed from the Dust King Chen Ji's corpse.

He had just stepped onto the mountain when suddenly, the ground shook and the mountain quaked.

Chen Ji's emotions were agitated!

Because of Yingji on Chen Hao's shoulder, the woman he had once deeply loved but who had betrayed him.

"Did you accomplish the deed?" Dust King's trembling voice arose beside Chen Hao's ear.

"Chen Yu has been killed by me!" Chen Hao said as he strode deeper into the mountain.

Upon hearing the news of Chen Yu's death, Chen Ji's laughter echoed throughout the sky, causing the mountain to shake even more violently.

At that moment, perhaps affected by the shaking, Yingji woke up.

"Ah!" Chen Hao's eardrums were nearly shattered by Yingji's scream.

"Who are you? Where is this place? How did I get here?" Yingji asked many questions in one breath.

Chen Hao ignored her and instead spoke to the mountain ahead, "I've done what was asked, isn't it time to release her?"

"I, Chen Ji, never go back on my word!"

"Chen Ji!" Hearing this name, Yingji was frozen with shock.

To her, it was a name akin to a nightmare.

"Yes, it's me!" Chen Ji's voice suddenly became extremely angry.

At that moment, two streams of dust burst forth from the ground in front of Chen Hao like fountains, rising high into the air. When the wind came and scattered the dust, the sleeping Lin Huashan and Yi Ning appeared.

Both of them opened their eyes and immediately let out a cry of surprise.

"Chen Hao, what happened? Why do I feel like I've been in a deep sleep for a long time?" Huashan asked, looking dizzy.

Chen Hao just smiled faintly.

"By the way," Chen Ji's voice rose again, "where's my son?"

Chen Hao's expression darkened, then he set Yingji down on the ground and said, "It would be better for her to tell you in person!"

"No!" Yingji cried, shaking her head and clutching Chen Hao's hand tightly, looking at him with pitiful eyes.

Smiling, Chen Hao freed his hand from Yingji's grip and said, "In any case, there should be an explanation for everything."

With that, Chen Hao walked over to Lin Huashan and Yi Ning, took their hands in his own, and using Qinggong, he temporarily left with the two of them.
