The next day, the sky was clear, a perfect autumn day.

After getting up in the morning, Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao went to the hospital. They first accompanied Ye Yuqiao as she completed the outpatient procedures, then followed Chen Hao to the Yin Yang Master Association in Y City.

Although it was the weekend, due to the impact of yesterday's snake disaster, the number of people on the streets had decreased several times over, and the police were still busy, either clearing the corpses of the snakes or patrolling the area to check for any remaining snakes.

Around nine in the morning, the group of five arrived at the entrance of the Yin Yang Master Association in Y City.

"Chen Hao!" Suddenly, a call came from behind them.

Chen Hao turned around and saw it was Wang Chuan, the president of the Yin Yang Master Association, with a furrowed brow and a gloomy expression on his face.

Wang Chuan had initially treated Chen Hao's phone claim that he intended to impeach Wang Chuan's position of president of the Yin Yang Master Association as a joke. But after inquiring with a friend who was the president of another Yin Yang Master Association in a county under King Ning's Manor's jurisdiction, he found out that King Ning had indeed handed over the management of Y City's Netherworld to Chen Hao. Chen Hao was serious and not spouting nonsense.

This morning, Wang Chuan had gone to Chen Hao's house. After knocking on the door and finding no one home, he thought Chen Hao might have gone to the Yin Yang Master Association. He immediately hurried over and arrived just as Chen Hao and his group were about to enter the Association's main door.

"President Wang!" Chen Hao said in a mocking and sarcastic tone, "Why are you standing outside and not entering? Aren't you the president?"

Wang Chuan's face grew increasingly ugly as he had never felt so humiliated. After suppressing the anger in his chest, he said to Chen Hao, "May I have a word with you in private?"

"No!" Chen Hao refused outright. "There are no outsiders here; you can speak your mind right here. But let me warn you, your position as president is definitely being revoked, and who becomes the next president is none of your concern."

Seeing that Chen Hao's mind was made up, Wang Chuan stopped holding back, let out an angry snort, and threatened, "Remember this, those who oppose me never end up with a good fate!"

With that, Wang Chuan angrily turned and walked away with large strides.

"Wait," Chen Hao shouted after him, determined to thoroughly humiliate the irresponsible president Wang Chuan. "I now command you as the president of the Y City Yin Yang Master Association—stop right there, I have an assignment for you!"

Wang Chuan ignored him, only shooting Chen Hao a glare before walking away even faster.

Chen Hao's lips curved up slightly, and after a couple of coughs, he continued shouting, "Wang Chuan, if you don't stop right now, don't bother coming back to the Yin Yang Master Association ever again!"

Wang Chuan suddenly paused, turned around after a moment of shock, his face red with anger, and said, "Fine, I won't come back. I resign from the Yin Yang Master Association, okay?"

"Good," Chen Hao chuckled, "later I'll have someone send a dissolution contract to your house, make sure you sign it!"

Wang Chuan's eyes bulged with fury, smoke seeming to come out of his seven orifices. Being trampled upon by a junior was a great humiliation for him. He stormed up to Chen Hao, grabbed the front of Chen Hao's shirt, and shouted, "Don't push me too far!"

"I'm just doing what I want!" Chen Hao sneered. Thinking of how Wang Chuan had threatened and intimidated him several times over the past two days to send Tang Jing to the Li Family, he felt furious. He thought that someone like Wang Chuan was utterly unworthy of being the president of the Yin Yang Master Association.

Wang Chuan released Chen Hao's collar, huffed angrily, and turned to leave.

"Chen Hao, do you really intend to expel him from the Yin Yang Master Association?" Xie Xiaofeng had unconsciously approached Chen Hao from behind, "He is one of the few talented practitioners of the Yin Yang Five Elements Magic in our city!"

"Is he the only one?" Chen Hao said coldly. He could tell that Xie Xiaofeng was praising him with those words, since in Y City only he and Wang Chuan practiced the Yin Yang Five Elements Magic.

Xie Xiaofeng laughed softly and asked, "Have you forgotten about me?"

Following that, the five entered the Yin Yang Master Association. A month after Wang Chuan had returned from his business trip, Xie Xiaofeng's grandfather, Xie Da, stepped down from the position of vice president, and Ren Deshan, who was the head of the Heavenly Group, was elected as the new vice president.

Ren Deshan, sitting in the office, had witnessed the entire argument between Chen Hao and Wang Chuan outside the door, so he was well aware of the current situation. He greeted Chen Hao with a smile, a stark contrast to the man who, a month prior, had wanted to put Chen Hao to death.

As Ren Deshan stepped forward, Chen Hao immediately preempted him, "No need for pleasantries, we know each other. I'm here today mainly to announce a few things. First, from now on, I will serve as the president of the onmyoji; those who disagree may leave the association. Second, you will send a contract termination to Wang Chuan's home later, and bring back his personal signature. Third,"

While saying this, Chen Hao turned to look at Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao, and introduced them in turn, "These three, Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao will join the association starting today. Draw up their contracts immediately. Finally, on the days when I'm not here, the Yin Yang Master Association will be under your management. Should there be any important decisions, you make them personally; there's no need to apply to me."

Dao County, Li Family.

After waiting the whole night, without seeing the bride Tang Jing arrive, Li Jiachang, who had not slept a wink, was greatly disappointed. As soon as day broke, he sent his son Li Ming to bring back the old fortune teller they had consulted the previous day.

Half an hour later, Li Ming returned alone, without finding the fortune teller.

Upon hearing this, Li Jiachang exclaimed, "This is bad," worrying that the fortune teller might still be enacting spells at Snake King Mountain and had not come down. Consequently, he asked Li Ming to take a few fearless friends to look for the fortune teller on Snake King Mountain.

An hour and a half later, Li Ming and his group finally returned with the fortune teller, but it was the fortune teller's corpse they brought back. Li Ming told Li Jiachang that when they found the fortune teller, his body was already cold, covered with snake bite wounds.

What should have been a joyous occasion not only ended with the bride-to-be running away, but also involved a loss of life, which left Li Jiachang terrified. He wondered whether the netherworld marriage was against the heavenly laws and destined to fail. Just as he was about to give up, Wang Chuan called him.

"Mr. Li," Wang Chuan spoke cautiously, "the guys who abducted the bride have killed the Snake King!"

Li Jiachang was stunned and, after a moment of silence, he sighed over the phone, "If even the Snake King couldn't handle it, I think it's best to forget this marriage. Alas, I've got a death on my hands too, it's really troubling!"

"Don't give up, Mr. Li. I've seen the bride; she's quite attractive and also clever," Wang Chuan urged anxiously. After a pause, he continued, "Here's what we'll do: I know a friend who is a Corpse Driver Master, and he lives near Dao County, in Huang County. I've already spoken to him about this matter, and he said it's a small thing, no problem! I'll immediately send you his phone number, you go contact him."
