After leaving the fire cave, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body headed towards Zhao Chong's tent to discuss how to handle tomorrow's affairs. If she personally went to the mortal world to kill Tang Jing, it would certainly arouse Chen Hao's suspicion.

"Your Majesty, coming to find me so late, it wouldn't be that something has happened to Chen Hao, would it?" Zhao Chong asked expressionlessly. In his eyes, other than matters related to Chen Hao, nothing would make Ye Yuqiao so anxious to find him in the middle of the night.

"It's about me," Ye Yuqiao said, shaking her head while deep in thought, "Chen Hao has already begun to suspect me. He's going to bring Tang Jing tomorrow to verify my identity."

Zhao Chong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his gaze somewhat vacant.

"Tang Jing has some secrets with her that even Chen Hao doesn't know. Tomorrow she's going to use these secrets to test me," Ye Yuqiao further explained.

Zhao Chong's eyes narrowed as his frown deepened, eventually focusing into a faint glimmer of light.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Chong looked at Ye Yuqiao and said, somewhat reluctantly, "In that case, we might have no choice but to silence her by killing her."

Although he was not very familiar with Tang Jing, he did have quite a relationship with her previous life. So when he voiced this statement, it was with some reluctance.

"But if we kill Tang Jing now, Chen Hao will definitely suspect it was my doing," Ye Yuqiao said.

"Then there's no other way," Zhao Chong said helplessly, "We have to take her life and also ensure her Yin Soul is utterly destroyed after death!"

Ye Yuqiao shook her head repeatedly, "Doing this would only make Chen Hao even more suspicious of me."

"He'll only have suspicions, he doesn't have any concrete evidence, let him suspect. Don't forget, in this past year, the enemies Chen Hao and the others have made in the mortal world are not few. If we do it ourselves, we'll leave traces of our Yin Qi Spiritual Power at the scene. The best option is to send a demon beast to kill Tang Jing, then lead Chen Hao to suspect one of his enemies, and he naturally won't think it was you."

Ye Yuqiao nodded, agreeing with Zhao Chong's opinion.

Although her Yang Spirit had just warned her not to harm Tang Jing, she no longer had the luxury to concern herself with future consequences. She would rather be destroyed along with her Yang Spirit than watch Chen Hao take away her Yang Spirit and from then on treat her as an enemy.

"Where can we find a demon beast?" Ye Yuqiao asked.

Zhao Chong thought for a moment, then said, "It won't be difficult to find a demon beast capable of killing her!"

...

...

Five o'clock in the morning.

The mortal world, Y City.

Tang Jing's room was very quiet; she seemed to be sound asleep.

Just then, an owl flew in from the dark night sky and landed on the balcony of her home.

The owl's head rotated twice, scanning the surroundings. After that, its body suddenly inflated and expanded until it was tens of times its original size.

It was actually an owl demon, sent to kill Tang Jing.

With a "bang," it broke through the balcony door and rushed into the living room, then followed Tang Jing's Yang Energy straight into her room.

At that moment, the lamp on Tang Jing's bedside suddenly lit up, and her room was instantly brightened by yellow spots of light.

"You little demon, daring to break into my home! Tell me, who sent you?" Tang Jing said to the owl demon. Her face didn't show the slightest surprise, as if she had been expecting the demon's arrival.

"Little demon? How dare you call me a little demon; you little Onmyoji, I will take your life today, make your soul scatter!"

As soon as it finished speaking, the owl demon's eyes suddenly turned bizarre, like the eyes of the grim reaper. It stared at Zhao Chong, then let out two strange and mournful "hoo hoo" sounds.

Right after the sound, Tang Jing let out a cry of agony. She felt dizzy and disoriented, as if the owl demon's eyes held some bewitching power that she couldn't resist.

After a moment of confusion, when she regained consciousness, she realized that her Yin Soul had left her body and was being drawn by an invisible force towards the owl demon.

"Ah!" Tang Jing screamed, her neck already seized by the owl demon's hand.

"At first, I felt somewhat sorry for you and thought to directly devour your Yin Soul for a swift demise. But since you dared to look down on me, I will tear your Yin Soul apart bit by bit, savoring it slowly!" the owl demon said coldly.

After speaking, it closed its eyes and sniffed Tang Jing's Yin Soul aroma, showing an intoxicated expression and laughed, "The scent on you is very nice, it must be delicious."

"I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?" Tang Jing glared at the owl demon and asked.

The owl demon looked into Tang Jing's eyes and after a three-second pause, it laughed, "Since you're about to be eaten by me, there's no harm in telling you. I was sent by the Zhao Family of the Netherworld to kill you."

"The Zhao Family?" A glint of insight flashed through Tang Jing's eyes, "Are you referring to Zhao Chong?"

"That's right. I didn't expect a girl from the mortal world to even know about the Netherworld. I've told you now, now you can die with a clear mind," the owl demon sneered.

Just as it was about to tear open Tang Jing's Yin Soul with its four-fingered palm, suddenly, the lucky bamboo in the vase on Tang Jing's desk turned into a ball of fire and pounced on the owl demon.

The owl demon was startled and immediately pushed Tang Jing's Yin Soul away, retreating towards the doorway.

The ball of fire didn't relentlessly pursue the owl demon, instead, it suddenly expanded violently, and then transformed into a person.

In an instant, Tang Jing's room was filled with the Yang Energy of the Five Elements, and that person was Xie Xiaofeng.

Two hours earlier, after Chen Hao left, Tang Jing had called Xie Xiaofeng, asking him to rush to her place. She had anticipated that she might encounter danger, because Chen Hao had told her that the fake Ye Yuqiao could find out what Chen Hao was experiencing through the Nether King's Heart.

When Chen Hao expressed his suspicion that Ye Yuqiao was a fake, Tang Jing immediately guessed that the fake Ye Yuqiao might be eavesdropping on their conversation. That's why she deliberately lied to Chen Hao, saying that there was a secret between her and Ye Yuqiao, and that Chen Hao needed to take her to the Netherworld to ask Ye Yuqiao the next day.

Her purpose in saying this was to lure the fake Yuqiao into the trap. If the fake Yuqiao heard her conversation with Chen Hao, it would definitely try to stop her from speaking out.

Indeed, everything happened just as she had predicted: Zhao Chong sent the owl demon to kill her. And Xie Xiaofeng had arrived an hour and a half earlier, transformed into a lucky bamboo using the Onmyoji's transformation technique, and used a spell to conceal the Yang Energy, ambushing in Tang Jing's room.

After Xie Xiaofeng revealed himself, he quickly supported Tang Jing's Yin Soul and asked anxiously, "Tang Jing, are you alright?"

Tang Jing shook her head and pointed at the owl demon, saying, "Quick, catch this demon and take it to that bastard!"

Xie Xiaofeng nodded...
