While Chen Hao and Qian Feng were having this conversation, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was eavesdropping through the Nether King's Heart.

Hearing Qian Feng's intention to use Chen Hao to make her compromise, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body flew into a rage and cursed Qian Feng as "despicable" towards the air.

If Chen Hao truly asked her to compromise, she estimated she would not refuse. It was precisely because of this that she was so angry and called Qian Feng despicable.

"Your Majesty, you haven't fallen asleep yet?" At this moment, a voice from Zhao Chong came from outside the tent. He was originally patrolling and, seeing that Ye Yuqiao's tent was still lit, he asked.

"Zhao Chong, your timing is perfect. I just have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chong immediately guessed in his heart: Could it be that contact had been made with Chen Hao?

After Zhao Chong entered the tent, Ye Yuqiao approached him and said, "Zhao Chong, Qian Feng has engaged in battle with the Ghost King Battalion. Afterwards, Chen Hao went to support her, and the two of them together killed the Dark Law King!"

"Ah!" Zhao Chong was somewhat surprised, "The Dark Law King is dead?"

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body nodded affirmatively.

"With the Dark Law King dead, the main commanders on the Ghost King's side are just King Wumeng and King Qingyu. However, these two Law Kings pose no threat to us," Zhao Chong began analyzing.

"The real threat is the Ghost King, who is still around, always the biggest threat," said Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, her words laden with deep meaning.

"Indeed," Zhao Chong sighed sadly, "eliminating the Dark Law King is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Ghost King. He has become very aggressive already, who knows what more extreme actions he will take next."

"The Ghost King's aggression may not necessarily be bad for us, at least not for me," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said with a smile.

"That's not the case," Zhao Chong shook his head, "think about it, if the Ghost King decides now to rush to kill Chen Hao, even if Chen Hao has mastered the Nether King's Power, given his control over it, do you think it's more likely for him to kill the Ghost King or be killed by the Ghost King?"

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body felt a chill in her heart and said, "So you're saying Chen Hao would be in great danger?"

"With Qian Feng there, he will definitely have some method to deal with the Ghost King's assault, so for now, Chen Hao should be able to survive," Zhao Chong said calmly, "However, if you want him to stay safe indefinitely, you'll have to form an alliance with Qian Feng."

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's expression darkened, and after pacing back and forth a few times, she looked at Zhao Chong and said, "There's only one day left, the final deadline is one day away."

Two hours later.

In the cold wind, the sharp cry of a golden eagle broke the deep night's silence of Netherworld City.

A soldier with blood on his face rushed back from Dark Wind Hills in the dead of night, bringing the news of the Dark Law King's death.

At this time, the Ghost King was still sleeping in his room, enjoying the comfort and warmth inside Netherworld City.

"Ghost King, it's bad!" King Wumeng arrived outside the Ghost King's room, he had just learned the terrible news from the soldier who had just returned from his patrol tonight.

The Ghost King opened his eyes, showing a trace of dissatisfaction. He, who had hoped to sleep well tonight, did not expect to be woken so suddenly.

King Wumeng had stood in the snowy night for not too long when the door to the Ghost King's room finally opened.

"What urgent matter do you have?" the Ghost King asked, "Is there news from the Dark Law King?"

"Ghost King," King Wumeng said, bowing his head with clasped hands, his hoarse voice tinged with a sob, "The Dark Law King, he, he, he was killed by Chen Hao, Qian Feng, and a woman who might be from the Fourth Generation Underworld King."

Upon hearing this news, the Ghost King was immediately stunned, his eyes gathering an unusually dazzling gleam as if struck by thunder out of a clear sky.

"How could he, he, he just die like that!" A while later, the Ghost King said with a mournful face. This time he had commanded the Dark Law King to lead a hundred thousand troops to deal with Qian Feng, making only two demands: one was not to lose too disastrously; the other was for the Dark Law King to stay alive.

He had never imagined that the Dark Law King wouldn't be able to meet these two seemingly simple requirements! To him, one Dark Law King was equivalent to an army of tens of thousands. Although he once had the Eight Great Law Kings under his command, in terms of strength, only the Dark Law King and King Wanfa could be considered his right and left hands.

When King Wanfa was killed last time, he fell silent for an entire day; now that the Dark Law King had been killed, both of his arms had been torn off, a blow that was truly hard to accept at the moment. Eventually, he couldn't help but panic, his heart and body both beginning to tremble.

Looking at the Ghost King, King Wumeng felt somewhat at a loss, never having seen the Ghost King so perturbed before.

After a long while, as the wind and snow intensified, numerous snowflakes fluttered through the door into the Ghost King's room, turning the warm place cold.

In the snowy night, the Ghost King and King Wumeng, who had stood in silence for a long time, had their hair and the frozen ground beneath their feet covered in white snow just alike.

"How could Chen Hao and the Fourth Generation Underworld King be in Qian Feng's camp? Shouldn't they be at Sunset Pass?" the Ghost King finally spoke again, "Didn't the Dark Law King say that there was deep enmity between Chen Hao and Qian Feng? Have they already formed an alliance?"

Suddenly, the Ghost King had too many questions in his mind. In fact, it was just that he was somewhat unable to accept this reality.

"They probably haven't formed an alliance yet, otherwise Qian Feng wouldn't have led his hundred thousand troops to retreat to the Hong River basin in such a big snowstorm, rather than joining forces with the five major families' allied forces to seize Netherworld City," speculated King Wumeng.

"Instead of guessing here, why not go and ask in person?" the Ghost King said coldly, suddenly emanating a murderous aura, "When I met Chen Hao and the Fourth Generation Underworld King a few days ago, I should have killed them right then and there! Everything is my fault. I'm going to kill them now!"

"Ghost King, you mustn't!" King Wumeng's eyes shone with determination, and just as he was about to dissuade him, the Ghost King's figure had already vanished into the snowy night.

He looked troubled, hesitating whether or not to chase after the Ghost King. Even if the Ghost King could handle Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, and Qian Feng alone, he surely wouldn't be a match for Qian Feng's hundred thousand troops. But if he also wasn't in Netherworld City, then only King Qingyu would be left behind, fearing that he might not be able to maintain the situation.

After careful consideration, King Wumeng eventually decided not to pursue the Ghost King personally but instead sent his own Nether Soul to the Dark Wind Hills to gather the tens of thousands of soldiers who had scattered and fled.

..

..

With the break of dawn, the sky was soon to brighten.

Qian Feng hovered in the air, looking toward the south. Many of the soldiers who had gone to pursue the Ghost King Battalion last night had still not returned.

He was very angry. Known for his strict military discipline, his eyes had no place for disobedient soldiers.

At that moment, amidst a forest to the south, he saw a fire. Beneath the firelight, swarmed a large crowd of people, like countless ants densely packed.

And behind that crowd of people loomed a massive mastiff!

"Ghost King!"
