"You must hurry back to Netherworld City, notify your real body, and lead all the armies there to Sunset Pass!" the Ghost King ordered.

Upon hearing this, the thought soul of King Wumeng was shocked, his expression one of disbelief. After a moment, he finally said, "Ghost King, do you mean that all the armies will be leaving Netherworld City?"

"That's right!" the Ghost King's gaze and tone were very certain, "All the armies must mobilize; the time to decide the battle has come!"

At this moment, the only thing the Ghost King feared was Chen Hao cultivating the Nether King's Power. Therefore, he had only one goal: to eliminate Chen Hao at all costs before he succeeded in mastering the Nether King's Power.

As long as Chen Hao was gone, no one would be his match, and he would no longer have any concerns.

"Yes, I understand. I will return to Netherworld City immediately to notify my real body!" the thought soul of King Wumeng said. After that, he transformed into a swarm of blood-red crows and flew off in the direction of Netherworld City.

Meanwhile, the Ghost King led his reinvigorated army of over seventy thousand to continue heading north.

..

..

Two hours later.

The allied forces of the Qian and Li families had already moved from the northeast of Dark Wind Hills to the central-northern part. At this time, a scout returned at great speed from the south, bringing news of the Ghost King Battalion's approach, numbering over seventy thousand.

After learning this, Chen Hao lifted the seal on the Nether King's Heart and made contact with Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

"Fake Yuqiao, there's something I need to discuss with you."

"I'm not fake Yuqiao, I'm the real one!" Ye Yuqiao's voice from the Nether Soul Body quickly resounded in Chen Hao's mind, "Chen Hao, go ahead and speak; what is it that you wish to discuss with me?"

"Make an alliance with Qian Feng as soon as possible," Chen Hao got straight to the point, "The Ghost King is leading his armies in another attack. If you don't compromise soon, I'm afraid Qian Feng will indeed lead his soldiers back to Wind Shelter Valley."

"Why must it be I who compromises, rather than him making concessions?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body retorted, a hint of grievance in her tone.

Chen Hao was at a loss for words and after thinking for a while, he finally said, "Because Qian Feng has definitely decided not to compromise!"

"So you want me to compromise?" asked Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

"I really can't understand why you insist on Qian Feng agreeing to your condition. Qian Feng is right; looking at the current situation, even forming an alliance might not be enough to defeat the Ghost King Battalion. Moreover, I haven't cultivated the Nether King's Power yet, and none of us is a match for the Ghost King. Why not wait for some time, conserve our strength, and wait until we are strong in arms, well-supplied in provisions before we decide the battle with the Ghost King Battalion?"

"Chen Hao, I..." Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body started to speak but then hesitated.

"What is it?"

A huff came from Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, followed by her quiet complaint, "Stupid jerk, always bullying me!"

"Are you going to compromise or not?" Chen Hao asked impatiently, "If you still don't agree, then I'll have Qian Feng lead his men back to Wind Shelter Valley, and I can continue my journey with the real Yuqiao."

"Jerk! Big jerk, I'll compromise, okay?" the voice of Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was filled with resentment, "Notify Qian Feng to bring his men to Sunset Pass. We'll discuss the details of the alliance when we meet."

"So you mean you're willing to compromise?"

"Yes, everything as you wish, since in my heart there's only you, the jerk!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body sounded resigned, "And listen well; I am not fake Yuqiao. If you keep saying that, be careful or I might change my mind."

"Don't be so headstrong!"

"Chen Hao, are you trying to control me?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body asked with a light laugh, her mood shifting rapidly.

"This..." Chen Hao saw that the Ye Yuqiao with the Yang Spirit beside him had already turned an ugly shade.

Therefore, he immediately used a spell to freeze the Nether King's Heart, holding Ye Yuqiao's hand and saying, "That fake Yuqiao has already agreed to make concessions, so finally the two sides can form an alliance."

"I heard everything you said just now," Ye Yuqiao said coldly. After humming, she glared at Chen Hao and challenged, "Why do you want to freeze the Nether King's Heart? Could it be that you're worried she would get angry if she heard you call her the fake Yuqiao?"

"I'm worried she would go back on her word, causing the alliance to fail," Chen Hao explained with a pained expression.

Ye Yuqiao lightly pinched Chen Hao's left arm and suddenly showed a bitter smile, "How could I be jealous of her! What a strange feeling."

"Yes," Chen Hao nodded, "so strange."

"You're not right!" Ye Yuqiao looked at Chen Hao with a plaintive gaze, "Okay, now go and tell Qian Feng about this."

Soon after, Chen Hao boarded the carriage pulled by two dual-headed seven-star deer that belonged to Qian Feng, informing him that Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was willing to compromise.

Upon hearing this, Qian Feng's face showed delight, and he exclaimed, "That Nether King is not simple at all, willing to compromise only on the last day, at the very last moment. If it weren't for you and that Nether King coming to our aid, I'm afraid we could not have held out until now."

"I've told you, we're not here to support you; we're here to kill the Dark Law King!" Chen Hao emphasized.

After a cold laugh, Qian Feng stepped out of the carriage and then ordered the soldiers to quicken their march towards Sunset Pass. After last night's battle, the number of soldiers in the camp had shrunk from a hundred thousand to just over eighty thousand.

..

..

By noon.

On the Dark Wind Hills, the snow fell heavier, and the raging cold wind began to tear at the soldiers' clothes, slowing down the army's march towards Sunset Pass.

Two scouts returned from the south, bringing back two different pieces of news: the first was that the Ghost King leading an army of over seventy thousand was only slightly more than five thousand miles away from the Qian and Li allied forces.

The other piece of news was that the Ghost King Battalion of one hundred and thirty thousand had already left Netherworld City, heading for Sunset Pass.

After receiving the news, Qian Feng quickly dismounted the carriage to discuss with Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao.

"The Five Major Clans on that side should also know that news by now," Ye Yuqiao guessed.

"That Nether King is very clever, she must know to lead the army and meet up with us without us having to say anything," Qian Feng said, his eyes still hazy. When referring to the two different Yuqiaos, he always used "this Yuqiao" and "that Yuqiao", so as not to offend either side.

"After our two sides meet, are we going to have a formal battle with the Ghost King Battalion?" Chen Hao inquired.

Ye Yuqiao pushed open the window next to her and immediately, a few snowflakes fluttered in. Looking out at the icy snow-world beyond, she sighed, "If the snow is still this heavy tomorrow, I think this battle probably won't happen."

At this very moment, near Sunset Pass.

The allied forces of the Five Major Clans had already left Sunset Pass and were heading to Dark Wind Hills to meet up with the Qian and Li allied forces.
