"Because I just completed the sixteenth chapter of the 'Return to Yang Spell'!" Chen Hao explained.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the colossal sword of Yang Energy hovering above Chen Hao's head slowly tilted and descended towards Qian Dada, who was trapped by Xie Xiaofeng's Yin Yang Five Elements Magic.

"Ah!" Qian Dada's eyes bulged; the Yin Qi gathered by the short knife in his hand was utterly insignificant compared to the immense sword of Yang Energy bearing down on him. He let out a roar, his body shaking as he released all the Yin Qi in his body in a last, desperate attempt to struggle and resist.

Even so, although the Yin Qi around his short knife instantly increased, forming a sphere with a radius of half a meter, it was still far inferior to the sword of Yang Energy overhead, which radiated intense, scorching heat.

Qian Dada swung his short knife; the sword of Yang Energy was so bright with its yellow light that he couldn't keep his eyes open, and it also illuminated the fear and despair on his face.

The collision of the sword of Yang Energy and the short knife was like that of fire and ice. Suddenly, a whirlwind of yellow and purple mixed together erupted, like two dragons, one yellow and one purple, tearing at each other, filling the air with the shrill sound of piercing wind.

When the whirlwind dissipated and the wind noise faded, the yellow sword of Yang Energy devoured the purple Yin Qi, and Qian Dada's Yin Soul was cleaved in two by the sword of Yang Energy, ultimately scattering his soul. The seventh-ranked expert of the Qian family met his end here today.

Seeing Qian Dada's soul shatter, the henchmen of the Qian family who were hiding not far behind him all fled in disorder. Li Jiachang, who had been beaten black and blue and was in pain all over by Chen Hao, let out a disappointed sigh, and couldn't help but pound the ground with his right hand.

"It's done!" Chen Hao turned back and proudly told Tang Jing, Tang Chao, and Xie Xiaofeng. At this moment, both Tang Jing and Tang Chao wore expressions of disbelief and shock.

"When did you practice up to the sixteenth chapter?" Tang Chao asked, astonished. Chen Hao had already exhausted all his Yang Energy in his body before casting the spell to ward off Yin Qi, obviously progressing to the sixteenth chapter only afterwards. But from completing the spell to now, there had only been a few minutes, and in that time, they were all on their way to the Li residence—when had Chen Hao had time to practice?

A smug smile appeared on Chen Hao's face as he explained, "I don't know myself, it was just when Ye Yuqiao helped me up just now, suddenly thirty-odd lines of the chapter came to my mind, and the Yang Energy in my body surged inexplicably, and I somehow completed the sixteenth chapter!"

"Hmph!" Tang Jing looked at Chen Hao with a moody expression, her face carrying a touch of resentment. "It took me three whole months to practice up to the sixteenth chapter, and you managed it all in one go! That's just too unfair!"

Chen Hao laughed out loud and said, "Don't compare yourself with me; I am the once-in-several-hundred-years genius."

Tang Chao smiled helplessly, feeling somewhat ashamed. He had started practicing the 'Return to Yang Spell' from a young age, and to date had only perfected up to the tenth chapter without breaking through further. Now he wished he could just dig a hole and hide himself away, or change his identity completely.

"Looks like I'll have to practice this 'Return to Yang Spell' as well," Xie Xiaofeng said, "After all, I'm still a bit stronger than Chen Hao; I'm the once-in-a-millennium prodigy Onmyoji."

"Ha!" Chen Hao looked at Xie Xiaofeng scornfully, "I'll give it to you later, but what if you don't reach the sixteenth chapter within a day?"

"What if I do?" Xie Xiaofeng's face turned slightly displeased. Chen Hao's contemptuous tone was intolerable for him.

Chen Hao gritted his teeth and muttered an expletive.

Xie Xiaofeng was fuming, his face darkening as he walked toward Chen Hao.

Seeing the two suddenly at loggerheads, Tang Jing quickly stepped between them to separate the two and turned to Xie Xiaofeng, "Remember, you practice the Yin Yang Five Elements Magic, and this utmost Yang energy, even if you practice it, won't boost your Five Elements Magic."

"Oh, right!" Xie Xiaofeng blinked at Tang Jing, looking thoughtful. Then his expression changed, and he laughed, "I forgot that I practice the even higher-level Yin Yang Five Elements Magic, I can't compare with you!"

"You're afraid you can't compete, aren't you?" Chen Hao said contemptuously, "Why make up so many excuses?"

Tang Jing looked at them helplessly, sighing, "You two are so childish!"

Ye Yuqiao turned her head, a light smile on her face, clearly amused by Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng's antics. She pointed at Li Jiachang, who was lying on the ground, and asked, "What are you planning to do with this guy?"

"Of course, punch him out cold!" Chen Hao declared. Just as he was about to move forward to deal with Li Jiachang, he was grabbed by Xie Xiaofeng.

Xie Xiaofeng yanked Chen Hao back and rushed to Li Jiachang's side, grabbing the front of his collar to lift his head and then, with a fierce punch, knocked Li Jaichang out cold.

"Hmph!" Xie Xiaofeng laughed smugly, bragging, "It was I who knocked him out!"

"So childish!" Chen Hao gave Xie Xiaofeng a contemptuous look.

After knocking Li Jiachang out, the five of them entered the Qian Mansion Bank, where it was now deserted, leaving behind a large sum of Joss Paper as well as a small amount of mortal world currency. The bank's counters, computers, and office equipment were all items from the Netherworld, invisible to ordinary people.

"Should I just burn this place down with a fire?" Chen Hao suggested.

"There's a lot of money we can use," Xie Xiaofeng said, "how about we collect all the mortal world money and donate it to the farmers in Dao County, and burn the rest of the Qian Family's Joss Paper and account books?"

Chen Hao looked at Ye Yuqiao and whispered to her, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Just do as he says!" Ye Yuqiao said coldly.

Then, the five of them first packed up all the mortal world currency in the Qian Mansion Bank, and afterwards, Chen Hao used Nether Fire to burn down the rest of the Netherworld items inside.

After leaving the Qian Mansion Bank, the group continued towards the nearby Netherworld Precious Items Exchange. Just like in the bank, the exchange was filled with items from the Netherworld.

"Should we burn this place down too?" Chen Hao asked.

"Of course not!" As Ye Yuqiao spoke, she walked to the counter and took out a porcelain bottle, then presented it to Chen Hao, saying, "Quickly drink the water in this bottle."

"Drink it?" Chen Hao was surprised, but he still followed Ye Yuqiao's words, took the bottle, and drained its contents. The water in the bottle was as cold as melting snow, yet with a sweet taste. After drinking it, Chen Hao's body shivered several times, then he asked, "What is this water?"

Instead of answering Chen Hao's question directly, Ye Yuqiao asked, "Do you feel anything after drinking it?"

Chen Hao was perplexed, thinking that he didn't feel anything. Just when he was about to speak, suddenly he felt the Nether Eye Power on his left eye burning. Closing his eyes, he saw the purple glow on his left eye blossom into even more dazzling sparkles, and the Yin Qi Spiritual Power within his body rapidly enhancing.

"I can feel the Yin Qi Spiritual Power increasing!" he exclaimed.

"This is Yin Spirit Spring Water, exclusively used by the Nether King Palace; drinking it can greatly enhance one's Yin Qi and Spiritual Power," Ye Yuqiao explained.

Chen Hao nodded excitedly and then took out all the bottles filled with Yin Spirit Spring Water from the counter and drank them dry. After drinking those bottles of Yin Spirit Spring Water, his internal Yin Qi Spiritual Power suddenly doubled.

In the counter, Chen Hao also found several trunks from the ancient locust trees of the Nether Palace and many precious items from the Netherworld, which he packed into a bag. Then, he used Nether Eye's Fire to burn down the Netherworld Precious Items Exchange.

After leaving the Netherworld Precious Items Exchange, the group went into the mortal world Precious Items Exchange. Upon entering the exchange, Chen Hao was thrilled to discover a Turtle Spirit Stone the size of a fist; beside that, Xie Xiaofeng acquired several extremely valuable Five Elements Stones, which would sell for millions at the Yin Yang Master Association and could not necessarily be bought even with money; meanwhile, Tang Jing got a gold bracelet.

After leaving the Li residence, Xie Xiaofeng, holding three weighty Five Elements Stones, expressed, "This trip was truly worthwhile, not only clearing out the ghost market for the people of Dao County and destroying the Li Family's foundation but also obtaining so many valuable things."

"But it has also angered the Qian Family, one of the Eight Great Clans of the Netherworld, and they certainly won't let things slide!" Ye Yuqiao said coldly.

"No problem," Chen Hao said, holding Ye Yuqiao's hand, "isn't this the day we've been waiting for?"

Ye Yuqiao smiled faintly.

At that moment, in the Netherworld, within Qian Mansion...
