The red string wrapped around Tang Jing's back, while Ye Yuqiao muttered an incantation under her breath. After two sentences, the red string flickered with golden light, as if suddenly electrified.

"Ah!" Tang Jing shrieked, her face instantly contorting in agony, blood-red veins surfacing in her golden irises, the vertical black line in her eyes thickening and expanding.

Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng, who were downstairs dealing with the snakes, heard Tang Jing's screech and immediately looked up. Seeing Tang Jing standing frenziedly on the balcony railing wrapped in the yang energy-infused red string, both were shocked, and then Chen Hao shouted, "Tang Jing! It's dangerous up there, come down quickly!"

"Ah!" Tang Jing howled, her face twisted as the blood veins spread from her pupils into the whites of her eyes.

Ye Yuqiao firmly gripped the edge of the door and the wall with her left hand, pulling tightly on the red string with her right hand, constantly chanting the soul-dispelling spell to drive away the snake spirit within Tang Jing.

Suddenly, Tang Jing turned her head, her blood-red eyes glaring furiously at Ye Yuqiao. After baring her teeth, she suddenly jumped off the railing, bent at the waist, and lunged head-first towards Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao's heart skipped a beat, and at the moment Tang Jing lunged, she swiftly rolled forward to the right, dodging the attack. Then, she quickly got up, leaned over the balcony railing, and shouted down, "Tang Jing is possessed by a snake spirit, come up and help quickly!"

"Ah!" Just as her words fell, Ye Yuqiao screamed in pain as Tang Jing rammed her head into Ye Yuqiao's back again, slamming her against the railing.

Tang Jing wrested the red string from Ye Yuqiao's right hand and tore it to shreds. Then, with her supple hands, she wrapped around Ye Yuqiao's waist from behind, her legs clamping tightly around Ye Yuqiao's, entangling her limbs like a snake.

"Ye Yuqiao!" Seeing Ye Yuqiao in danger, Chen Hao immediately panicked, then turned his head to the right and shouted into the blurry figure of Tang Chao in the distance, "Tang Chao, come quickly!"

"Wait, right there!" Tang Chao's voice soon drifted over, as he was surrounded by over a thousand snakes.

Above on the balcony, hearing Chen Hao call for reinforcement from Tang Chao, Tang Jing's eyes lit up. After biting Ye Yuqiao on the neck, she jumped back onto the railing and then climbed up the wall, scampering away horizontally along the wall like a nimble gecko, following the group of snakes surrounding her.

Once Tang Jing left, the densely packed snakes below as if receiving some invisible signal all at once rapidly retreated.

"Chen Hao, I'll chase after Tang Jing, you wait here for Tang Chao!" Xie Xiaofeng quickly said to Chen Hao. Without waiting for Chen Hao to respond, he swiftly pursued Tang Jing, continuously using his fire technique to clear away the snakes blocking his path.

Less than half a minute after Xie Xiaofeng left, Tang Chao arrived in front of Chen Hao, flying in and urgently asked, "What happened?"

"Your sister's been possessed by a snake spirit and ran off, Xie Xiaofeng is chasing her!" Chen Hao explained rapidly. Seeing Tang Chao ready to use qinggong to pursue, he immediately grabbed Tang Chao's arm, urging anxiously, "Ye Yuqiao's been injured by your sister, take me up there first."

Without a word, Tang Chao grabbed Chen Hao's shoulder, leaped up, and in the blink of an eye, they landed on Chen Hao's balcony.

Chen Hao knelt beside Ye Yuqiao, who had collapsed on the ground, cradling her in his arms, his brows furrowed as he asked, "Ye Yuqiao, are you alright?"

"I'm so sorry," Ye Yuqiao said with her eyes nearly closed, looking weakly at Tang Chao, "I couldn't keep your sister safe! She's been possessed by the Snake King's spirit."

"Snake King!" Tang Chao exclaimed in shock.

Seeing the two bloody bite marks on Ye Yuqiao's neck, Chen Hao was horrified and asked with great concern, "She's been possessed by the Snake King's snake spirit. If she bit you, could you be poisoned?"

"I'm not poisoned!" Ye Yuqiao said, shaking her head in pain, "But her collision..."

Before she could finish, Ye Yuqiao couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Ah!" Chen Hao's expression immediately became grave as he quickly picked up Ye Yuqiao in his arms. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned to Tang Chao, and said, "Your sister's been possessed by the Snake King's snake spirit, and I'm worried that Xie Xiaofeng pursuing them alone could lead to danger. Please take Ye Yuqiao to the hospital, I'll go chase Xie Xiaofeng and your sister."

With that, Chen Hao entrusted Ye Yuqiao into Tang Chao's hands.

"Don't worry, I will defeat the Snake King and bring your sister back," Chen Hao told Tang Chao, patting his shoulder with unwavering determination.

Ye Yuqiao's heart tightened, as if being wrung by a knife. Although she knew Chen Hao's arrangement was the most sensible, and that only Chen Hao could handle the Snake King, she couldn't help feeling sad. She had thought that Chen Hao would personally take her to the hospital before going after Tang Jing, but now he had entrusted her to Tang Chao. She knew she had no serious injuries, but deep down, she still selfishly hoped that Chen Hao would show more concern for her at this moment.

"Even if he took me to the hospital before going after them, it wouldn't be too late!" Ye Yuqiao complained silently. At that moment, a downpour started in her heart, overwhelmed with jealousy, grievance, and bitterness.

After Tang Chao leaped away, carrying Ye Yuqiao with him, Chen Hao immediately went over to the Eight Immortals table, packing all the tools into the wooden box in one go. As he was about to close the wooden box, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, who is it?" Chen Hao asked urgently.

"It's me, Wang Chuan!" The voice on the phone was calm, yet indifferent. "Tang Jing is already on her way to Dao County, and the tens of thousands of snakes that appeared in our city area have also retreated. I'm calling to warn you, as the president of the Yin Yang Master Association, not to complicate things further, otherwise..."

"Get lost!" Chen Hao couldn't help but yell into the phone before turning around to lean on the Eight Immortals table. "King Ning himself promised to leave the Netherworld of Y City in my hands. Your association is just temporarily helping, and you still can't distinguish your superiors, can you?"

At that moment, the Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism that Chen Hao had recently placed on the ancestral spirit tablet suddenly glowed yellow and, as if it had grown wings, floated into the wooden box.

"You!" Wang Chuan was at a loss for words because of Chen Hao's retort.

"What 'you'!" Chen Hao became even more infuriated, "I'm telling you, after I deal with that Snake King, I will attend the Yin Yang Master Association meeting tomorrow and announce that I'm replacing you as the new president! You just wait!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao quickly closed the wooden box, took it, and swiftly left the house. Just as he reached the bottom of the stairs, Xie Xiaofeng called him.

"Chen Hao, I'm in the park near your house right now. Tang Jing's feet have been bound by my Wood Technique, come quickly to assist..."
