After wandering around the ghost market for another half hour.

The clear smile that had been constant on Ye Yuqiao's face like that of a young girl suddenly turned severe, and she turned to Chen Hao beside her and said, "It's getting late, let's start."

It was rare for Ye Yuqiao to show such an innocent and adorable side, and Chen Hao felt reluctant in his heart. He took a step closer to Ye Yuqiao, embraced her, and whispered in her ear, "Seeing you so happy, I really can't bear to destroy this place. I wish I could come here with you every day. But, as wonderful as this ghost market is, it doesn't belong to the mortal world, does it?"

Chen Hao's words made Ye Yuqiao tremble in her heart and she felt melancholic, thinking that she herself didn't belong to the mortal world either. Should that be the case, she ought not to have any attachment to the mortal world, let alone be willful anymore.

After a long while, Ye Yuqiao coldly said, "You're right, let's do it."

Chen Hao left a kiss on Ye Yuqiao's forehead and then ended the embrace. Suddenly, the Nether Eye Power in his left eye infused into his bloodstream, making his blood boil. He let out a loud roar to the sky, startling many of the ghosts around him and causing them to float into the air.

As the roar continued to echo and tremble in the air, a purple flame, like a fire dragon, spewed out from Chen Hao's left eye, licking towards the belly of the night sky.

Instantly, the ghosts let out piercing shrieks, scrambling and stampeding in a frenzy, turning the ghost market into chaos.

At that moment, Tang Chao, who was wandering among the crowd of ghosts, spotted the purple flame, leapt into the air, and landed in front of a shop on the street, then lifted the cloth curtain in front of the door. Behind the curtain on the door, was a mystical symbol that Ye Yuqiao had drawn earlier with dog's blood. As the curtain was lifted, the symbol immediately flashed a thousand rays of golden light, causing the nearby ghosts to panic and flee.

Having lifted one curtain, Tang Chao leapt across to the opposite side of the street and uncovered another shop's curtain. Then, within just ten seconds, Tang Chao took advantage of his Qinggong to rapidly weave across the street, uncovering the twelve mystical symbols that they had previously drawn at various shop storefronts.

On the other hand, Tang Jing directly forced out a large amount of Yang Energy from within her body and concentrated it above her head, forming a golden Yang Energy ball that shone like ten thousand rays of light. Meanwhile, Xie Xiaofeng, after the owner of the ghost uncle's candy store had abandoned his stall to flee, took the chance to steal a few Heartfelt Lollipops and transformed them all into the likeness of Lin Xiaofan, hiding beneath the stall and watching while eating.

Under the intimidation of the purple flame, twelve dog blood mystical symbols, and the Yang Energy ball, the ghosts all dispersed in fear. Before long, the ghost market, which had been bustling and crowded like a tide, was deserted and eerily quiet, with nothing but chaos in its wake.

Upon seeing this scene, Ye Yuqiao suddenly felt a hollow emptiness in her heart, and her face involuntarily showed a look of loss.

"Don't be sad!" Chen Hao said as he stopped emitting the purple flame, "After I defeat the Ghost King, I'll accompany you to stroll on the streets of the Netherworld."

Ye Yuqiao looked up at Chen Hao, furrowing her brows, and asked sorrowfully, "Will there really be such a day?"

"Of course!" Chen Hao held Ye Yuqiao's hand to comfort her, feeling heartache for such a sensitive Ye Yuqiao and wanting even more to cherish and protect her. "Don't forget, I can go down to the Netherworld!"

At that moment, Tang Chao, Tang Jing, and Xie Xiaofeng all gathered in front of the two.

Chen Hao released Ye Yuqiao's hand, took two steps forward, first drew the character "禁" (forbid) on his left hand with his right, and then closed his eyes.

Last night before going to sleep, Chen Hao had perused the Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism and learned the fifth chapter of the Communicating Spirits section, the Exorcism Array of Banishing Yin. The so-called Exorcism Array of Banishing Yin involves channeling one's Yang Energy into the soil, thereby creating a huge mystical array beneath the ground, which prevents any Yin Souls from approaching.

"Where Yang gathers, Yin cannot reach! Where Yang gathers, Yin cannot reach..." Chen Hao placed his left hand on the ground and chanted.

Not long after, Chen Hao's Yang Energy flowed from his left palm into the ground of Dao County beneath him; it then traveled under the ground, eventually forming a nearly half-covered "forbidden" character over the ghost market.

As the Yin-suppressing formation was about to be completed, Chen Hao suddenly felt very tired, both mentally and physically, as his Yang Energy was nearly depleted. He turned pale as a sheet, sweat drenched his forehead, and his body started to tremble.

He clenched his teeth, persisting and letting out a roar.

At that moment, Tang Jing hurriedly walked behind Chen Hao, placed both palms on his back, and, using the Tang Family's unique Star Shifting Technique, transferred her Yang Energy into Chen Hao. With the support of Tang Jing's Yang Energy, Chen Hao's face regained its color quickly, and the Yin-suppressing formation was completed shortly afterward.

Chen Hao removed his hand from the ground and involuntarily fell backward into Tang Jing's embrace.

"Chen Hao, are you alright?" Tang Jing asked urgently, holding onto Chen Hao's shoulders.

"I'm fine," Chen Hao's voice was extremely weak, "The Yin-suppressing formation is set up. For the next three years, no Yin Soul will dare come close, and this ghost market will be gone."

Having said this, Chen Hao stood up, pulling away from Tang Jing's support, and turned back to ask Ye Yuqiao, "How much longer will it be until you help me? I am your boyfriend, after all!"

Ye Yuqiao glared at Chen Hao with a sullen face, then slowly stepped forward to help Chen Hao to his feet. As he stood up, Chen Hao whispered in Ye Yuqiao's ear, "Your Majesty, don't tell me you're jealous again?"

Ye Yuqiao did not respond, but instead clung tightly to Chen Hao's arm as if she were holding onto a beloved toy that she feared being taken away.

Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Chao exchanged awkward glances, feeling the atmosphere around them was somewhat strange; Tang Jing lowered her head slightly, not wanting others to notice her embarrassment.

.

Inside the Li Family's mansion, many Yin Souls and wild spirits who had been scared away from the ghost market were squeezing through the side gate of the Li household.

The Li Family's side gate was located on the west side of the Li estate, and it was even wider than the main gate to the south. This side gate was also known as the Ghost Gate by the people of Dao County because it was always locked during the day and only opened for spirits after midnight. Just past the side gate was a courtyard, with the central room being the bank, while the rooms on either side were used for trading valuable items from the mortal world and the Yin Realm, respectively.

Seeing so many frightened Yin Souls rushing in at once, Qian Dada, the guard of the bank, stepped forward wielding a large saber and bellowed at the crowd of ghosts, "Don't push! Line up properly, or I'll scatter your souls with one strike of my blade."

At this, the ghosts fell to their knees and kowtowed, after which one weeping spirit explained, "It's terrible, Master Qian! Some Onmyoji suddenly appeared at the ghost market and disrupted everything, painting twelve golden talismans with dog's blood; creating a radiant sun with Yang Energy; and one of them was even more terrifying, shooting purple fire dragons from his eyes. Everyone panicked and fled in all directions. Now, the ghost market is probably empty!"

"Outrageous!" Qian Dada was livid. As a top ten expert under Clan Leader Qian Feng of the Eight Great Clans in the Netherworld, and assigned personally by Qian Feng to guard this extremely important Qian Family bank, he declared, "Inform Li Jiachang and tell him to bring over their enforcers from the mortal world."

Three minutes later, Li Jiachang arrived with a group of men armed with guns, and Qian Dada had also gathered a dozen or so Qian Family enforcers.

"Let's go and meet them!" Qian Dada shouted.

"No need!" At that moment, Chen Hao, Ye Yuqiao, Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao, all five, had already arrived at the entrance of the Li Family's side gate.
