"What a disgrace!" Clan Leader Zheng Yang seethed with righteous indignation. In his memories of the Fourth Generation Nether King Yuqiao, she had always been extremely attentive to proper etiquette, yet now she had become so frivolous.

Chen Hao quickly pushed away Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, his face showing embarrassment.

"Yuqiao, you mustn't be angry," Chen Hao silently said to himself.

This remark, which was meant for Ye Yuqiao's Yang Spirit in the Nether Acupoint, received almost simultaneous responses from both Yuqiaos—"I'm not angry!"

"There are so many people here," Chen Hao said warily, "the fake Yuqiao!"

"Chen Hao, who do you think is the fake Yuqiao? Believe it or not, I can declare right now that an alliance will never be formed between the two sides again!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was very angry.

"This!" Chen Hao felt utterly helpless, so he refrained from sending any more secret messages.

"Let's talk business," Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul said coldly. "Don't waste time, we're not here to watch you throw a tantrum."

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body huffed at Chen Hao in anger, her face full of disdain, while also raising her hand to pat Chen Hao's chest.

"You only know how to bully me!"

Seeing this, the clan leaders of the surrounding major families were somewhat puzzled. They could not understand what had happened in such a short time; the Fourth Generation Nether King had just been throwing herself into Chen Hao's arms, but suddenly her mood shifted, and she started losing her temper with Chen Hao.

It truly made no sense!

"Alright, let's discuss serious matters," Chen Hao said in a placating, gentle tone to Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body nodded, her face full of reluctance.

"You jerk, can you check where the Ghost King's army is now?"

Chen Hao sighed helplessly, then activated his left eye's Nether Vision Technique to look towards the south. After searching through the icy land and snow for a while, he finally spotted the Ghost King's army of two hundred thousand. Amidst the vast white snow, the two hundred thousand troops appeared densely packed like a surging flood.

"Do you see them?" Chen Hao asked.

"Hmm!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body answered. "They are very close to us, and at their fastest, they will arrive here in two hours."

"Two hours!" Qian Feng's brows furrowed deeply, his eyes becoming as murky as the falling snow.

Chen Hao closed his left eye's Nether Vision Technique, then sent out a secret message: "Yuqiao, what do you think we should do next?"

"Of course, wait here and engage in a decisive battle with the Ghost King Battalion!" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body immediately replied.

"Sorry, I wasn't asking you."

Immediately after, a snort of anger from Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body echoed in Chen Hao's mind.

"I think we should move towards Wushuang City. Our current location is just a three-hour journey away from Wushuang City. Once there, we can enter the city, allowing the soldiers to eat and drink their fill. When the Ghost King's army arrives, they will be utterly exhausted. Moreover, with the snow falling so heavily, not only will they be unable to breach Wushuang City, it will be our opportunity to turn defense into offense after their attack fails!" Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul stated.

"You make a lot of sense," Chen Hao said, nodding as he considered her words.

"There is simply no sense in it," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body retorted.

"What plans do you have in mind?" Qian Feng asked.

Only then did the Clan Leaders have the opportunity to greet each other.

"I suppose you all witnessed the omen of the new Netherworld King just now? It is about to sink into the eastern shores of the Endless Sea, and a new Nether King will soon ascend the throne. Today's battle is the decisive fight between us and the Ghost King Battalion, and we are destined to win this victory, and the Ghost King is bound to be replaced by the new Nether King," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said.

"What do you think?" Chen Hao looked at Qian Feng and asked. For some reason, he suddenly felt that he and Qian Feng were on the same side, while Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body seemed like an opponent. This was precisely why he had asked Qian Feng.

"In my humble opinion, it's not appropriate to fight amidst the heavy snow. Occupying Wushuang City is a good choice. If the Ghost King insists on fighting, let him attack from the icy and snowy exterior while we defend from within the city. No matter how you look at it, we have the upper hand," Qian Feng's opinion was somewhat similar to Ye Yuqiao's.

"As for the omen of this new Nether King," Qian Feng continued, "from what we can see at the moment, it still needs several months to fall into the Endless Sea. If we start a battle these days, we may not necessarily win. Most importantly, this omen of the new Nether King doesn't really prove anything; it could be the Ghost King who is ascending to be the King!"

Hearing Qian Feng's words, Chen Hao naturally felt pleased, silently praising that Qian Feng indeed stood with him.

"I think Clan Leader Qian makes a lot of sense," Chen Hao immediately concurred.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body glared at Chen Hao with displeasure, "If that's the case, we should have known not to rush through the night yesterday, and could have just waited for you at Sunset Pass!"

"If you hadn't left Sunset Pass last night, we wouldn't be facing the same situation now. The situation changes in the blink of an eye, and no one can predict what comes next," Qian Feng said expressionlessly.

"What if I'm determined to fight the Ghost King Battalion here?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body asked again.

"Don't forget what you promised me. You agreed to compromise, and that is the concession you need to make," Chen Hao said seriously, looking at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body stamped her foot fiercely, "All you do is bully me!"

Her actions made everyone around look on, unsure what to say for a moment.

After some discussion, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body heeded Qian Feng's advice, and the allied forces of the seven major clans officially made their way towards Wushuang City.

······

······

An hour later, the news that the allied forces of the seven major clans had shifted westward reached the Ghost King's ears.

After pondering for a while, the Ghost King finally said, "They intend to occupy Wushuang City!"

King Wumeng nodded, "If they are holding Wushuang City, we will need much more time to breach it. With the snow coming down so heavily now, the longer it drags on, the worse it is for us."

"But the snow will eventually stop!" the Ghost King said grimly, "Moreover, aren't they yet to reach Wushuang City? Issue the order, the entire army must accelerate, we need to catch up to them before they enter Wushuang City!"

No matter how strong the wind and snow, none of it was a concern for the Ghost King. What he feared was the Nether King's Heart upon Chen Hao's left eye. Until he eliminated Chen Hao, he would not find peace in his heart.

Therefore, the two hundred thousand-strong Ghost King Army accelerated once again. For many of the soldiers, their physical strength and endurance had already reached their limits, yet they gritted their teeth and persevered.

However, even so, the Ghost King Battalion ultimately lagged a few steps behind. When they received news that the seven major clans' allied forces had entered Wushuang City, they were still several hundred miles from Wushuang City.
