When the Nether King's Power surged through Qian Feng's body, his complexion instantly turned ashen, emitting a painful and deep scream.

Perhaps even the Second Generation Nether King hadn't anticipated that Qian Feng would be taken down so easily.

Back when the Great Ancestor of the Nether King reigned, Qian Feng was the strongest among the young guards in His Majesty's presence, without any equal; after the Second Generation Nether King ascended the throne, aside from him, Qian Feng was the person with the deepest spiritual power within Netherworld City, not even Zhao Chong's father could compete against him.

Unexpectedly, that cold-blooded royal guard who killed without batting an eye was so easily eliminated by a move from the Second Generation Nether King.

After Qian Feng fell to the ground, the Second Generation Nether King approached him and questioned, "Qian Feng, what's the matter with you?"

Qian Feng just weakly smiled, without uttering a word.

Seeing Qian Feng's meaningful smile, the Second Generation Nether King was very displeased. Thus, another surge of Nether King's Power welled up inside him and passed through Qian Feng's body.

"Argh!" After a wrenching cry, Qian Feng spit out blood.

"No!" Chen Hao shouted from high above, then said to the seven giant beasts surrounding him, "Go save him quickly, don't worry about me."

"Don't!" Qian Feng suddenly raised his head and shouted at Chen Hao, "Chen Hao, you must... you must restore the Third Soul of the Fourth Generation Underworld King."

Seeing Qian Feng still concerned about Chen Hao at the brink of death, the Second Generation Nether King was puzzled and roared at Qian Feng, "Qian Feng, why... I trusted you so much, why would you betray me for him!"

Qian Feng smiled again, his complexion now pale, just like his glazed-over eyes.

"Calling yourself what, Emperor of Yin and Yang? Bullshit! Feng Yie, your good days are over."

Hearing Qian Feng's words, the Second Generation Nether King nearly exploded with anger.

Just as he was about to end Qian Feng's life, suddenly, not far behind him, the Purgatory Fire Pool began to boil, and soon thereafter, countless streams of Purgatory Fire burst forth, assaulting him.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body had arrived.

After the Second Generation Nether King dodged the numerous Purgatory Fires, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body was already in front of him.

"You must be my good granddaughter," the Second Generation Nether King said with a smile, looking at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body glared with round eyes, her expression stern, "Grandfather Emperor? I never thought I'd see you with my own eyes one day."

"Female Nether King, interesting! I never imagined my son to be so dull in his daily life but to have chosen a female Nether King!"

"Grandfather Emperor," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body unfurled her dazzling wings of blazing fire behind her, "I was originally going to seek you out in the Ancient City, but since you've come to me today, don't think of leaving this place."

"My good granddaughter, how bold you are!" the Second Generation Nether King sneered, "But unfortunately, today is not the day to experience your blazing flames. I'll be waiting for you in the Ancient City."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a purple vortex suddenly appeared above his head; at the same time, near them, a vortex also appeared above the lizard demon who was fighting Zhao Chong, and the three brothers locked in combat with Xie Xiaofeng.

Almost simultaneously, the Second Generation Nether King, the lizard demon, and the three brothers jumped into the vortex.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body tried to stop them but was too late.

After the vortex disappeared, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body immediately went to the lying Qian Feng, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Qian Feng smiled at her, now at the brink of death.

"I hope you and Chen Hao... may you have a good ending," Qian Feng's voice was very weak, "you... you really are... so much like your mother!"

After speaking, Qian Feng's eyes closed completely.

And just like that, he departed, with a conclusion nobody expected.

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body slowly shut her now blurry eyes, holding her breath. Not long ago, she detested Qian Feng to the bone, considering him an enemy standing in the way of her and Chen Hao.

Yet, it was this very man who, in the most critical moment just now, sacrificed himself to protect her Nether Soul and Chen Hao's hope.

Although she didn't know the relationship between Qian Feng and her mother, she could tell from Qian Feng's last words that her mother was in his heart.

Considering that Qian Feng had enjoyed a life of wealth and honor, never lacking anything, yet he never married or fathered children, never indulged in the beauty of the world, she felt that Qian Feng was deeply sentimental;

She also realized why he had been so firmly against initiating a decisive battle with the Ghost King Battalion—the revelation dawned on her that Qian Feng wanted to protect her Yang Spirit. Because he knew all too well that if they were to engage in a battle with the Ghost King Battalion, she would inevitably have to sacrifice her Yang Soul in order for Chen Hao to attain the Nether King's Power.

"Qian Feng, is he dead?" Chen Hao sent a secret message to Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body.

"Yes, he's dead!" Ye Yuqiao replied, her voice already crying.

The least likely person to be a good man in this world had become the best of them. Faced with such a fact, she was at a loss as to how to accept it.

"Chen Hao, he left behind only one sentence, hoping that there would be a good ending for us."

Chen Hao responded with a grunt and then concentrated even more intently on casting the forbidden soul-sucking spell.

A short time later, Zhao Chong and Tang Jing rushed over from two different pathways.

Seeing Qian Feng's body lying on the ground, Zhao Chong felt greatly puzzled.

"Your Majesty, Qian Feng was..."

"He wasn't killed by me!" No sooner had she spoken than Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body covered her face and wept bitterly.

"Zhao Chong, it was he who blocked the move from the Second Generation Nether King, protecting both Chen Hao's and my Yin Souls."

Zhao Chong's brows furrowed deeply, his expression was one of utter shock. Without needing further explanation from Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, he had already guessed that Qian Feng had died at the hands of the Second Generation Nether King.

At that moment, Tang Jing, standing behind the two of them, suddenly exclaimed, "Where is Xie Xiaofeng?"

Zhao Chong and Ye Yuqiao turned around and then looked around searching for Xie Xiaofeng's voice.

"Zhao Chong, go check it out yourself," Ye Yuqiao said to Zhao Chong.

Zhao Chong nodded and then vanished in an instant. Not long after, he reappeared.

"Your Majesty, that young man might have been taken away by the people of the Second Generation Nether King."

Tang Jing was shock, panickedly asking, "What do we do now?"

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body frowned, also unsure of what to do.

After a pause, she looked at Tang Jing, "Let's wait for Chen Hao to come down and think about it? We still don't know what the Second Generation Nether King's purpose was for taking him."

..

..

Outside the southern edge of Netherworld City, in a secluded forest more than twenty miles away.

A purple vortex suddenly appeared, and then a group of people emerged from within.

These people were none other than the Second Generation Nether King and his underlings.

However, there was one more person who even the Second Generation Nether King did not recognize—this person was Xie Xiaofeng.

At that moment, Xie Xiaofeng was unconscious.

"Why did you bring him here?" the Second Generation Nether King asked.

"Your Majesty, this person's mastery of the Yin Yang Five Elements Magic is quite remarkable, he will be useful if we take him back. Moreover, he can be used as a hostage in the future."

The Second Generation Nether King looked at Xie Xiaofeng, then grabbed him and in an instant, took him to the ancient city.
