Upon hearing Niu Tou mention that three Primordial Demons of the Underworld had escaped through the Gate of the Nether King, everyone inside the room was shocked.

Among them, Ye Yuqiao's reaction was the most intense. In an instant, the calm that had been hard-earned by Tang Jing was once again thrown into disarray, and her complexion grew exceedingly gloomy.

"Yuqiao!" Tang Jing anxiously looked towards Ye Yuqiao, her body shivering uncontrollably. Several months earlier, she had been shattered soul-deep by the Yin Qi forced upon her by those three Primordial Demons of the Underworld.

Regaining her composure, Ye Yuqiao widened her eyes and pondered, "Was it the people from Hua Shan who opened the Gate of the Nether King?"

"It shouldn't be," Niu Tou replied, "The Barrier set by the Yang King in front of the Gate of the Nether King is still intact. It must have been those three Primordial Demons of the Underworld who broke out from the Gate of the Nether King."

"What a coincidence!" Ye Yuqiao continuously shook her head, "Just as Chen Hao is captured, the Primordial Demons of the Underworld happen to break through the Gate of the Nether King. It all looks too much like a premeditated plan."

"Zhao Chong, let's go check the Eighteen Levels of Hell!" Ye Yuqiao said to Zhao Chong.

Zhao Chong hesitated, for Ye Yuqiao was pregnant, and it would surely be perilous to go to the Eighteen Levels of Hell at this time.

But he did not dare to voice his opposition to Ye Yuqiao. For if the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld had truly escaped the Gate of the Nether King, the absence of Chen Hao meant no one would be able to stop them; Netherworld City and even the entire Netherworld would face a disastrous blow.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Yuqiao, Zhao Chong, Tang Jing, and Lin Huashan arrived in front of the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

Ye Yuqiao saw that, just as Niu Tou had said, the Barrier set by Chen Hao in front of the Gate of the Nether King remained wholly undamaged.

This forced Ye Yuqiao to accept the fact that it was indeed the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld that broke out from the Gate of the Nether King themselves.

Inside the Barrier, those three Primordial Demons of the Underworld that had escaped were desperately battering against the Barrier, the last defense preventing them from reaching the outside world.

An insignificant defense.

As she observed the original circular outer wall of the Barrier warping and distorting with the potential to be shattered at any moment, Ye Yuqiao hurriedly manipulated the fire within the Purgatory Fire Pool in front of the Gate, surging like a colossal torrent towards the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld

Frightened by the approaching crimson flames of Purgatory, the three Primordial Demons let out piercing screams and scurried back into the Gate of the Nether King.

Ye Yuqiao controlled the Purgatory Fire to flood into the Gate of the Nether King, pursuing the three Primordial Demons.

However, she soon felt exhausted, her complexion turning deathly pale.

Subsequently, a vague pain spread throughout her body, and she clenched her teeth, struggling to endure.

Seeing Ye Yuqiao in such a state, Zhao Chong, Tang Jing, and Niu Tou looked on sympatherically, unable to provide any assistance.

At this time, everyone couldn't help but wish that Chen Hao were here, as he could help Ye Yuqiao drive back the Primordial Demons of the Underworld and reseal the Gate of the Nether King.

But Chen Hao was, unfortunately, not there.

"Tang Jing!" Ye Yuqiao suddenly turned towards Tang Jing, her body slightly leaning back from dizziness.

Tang Jing's eyes widened, quickly reaching out to support Ye Yuqiao.

"I'm fine!"

Ye Yuqiao opened her eyes weakly and said, "Tang Jing, can you temporarily seal the Gate of the Nether King?"

After blinking, Tang Jing nodded: "Yes! It should hold until Chen Hao returns!"

A faint smile appeared on Ye Yuqiao's face as she said, "That's great! Then after I stop pouring Purgatory Fire into the Gate, you go seal it immediately."

Turning her gaze to Zhao Chong, Ye Yuqiao said, "Zhao Chong, protect her!"

Zhao Chong nodded.

Then, Tang Jing disbanded the Barrier that Chen Hao had set in front of the Gate using a Spell, waiting for Ye Yuqiao to stop infusing the Gate with Purgatory Fire.

...

Inside the Yang King's Mansion.

"Don't forget that Chen Hao just saved your life not long ago, and Chen Hao has helped you a lot before! Such an ungrateful wretch you are."

Facing Xie Xiaofeng's accusation, Hua Shan's face turned extremely unsightly.

"I had no choice," Hua Shan said, looking to the side and not daring to meet Xie Xiaofeng's gaze.

"An ungrateful wretch is an ungrateful wretch, why do you even need to find excuses?"

Xie Xiaofeng grew increasingly angry: "Chen Hao must have been taken into the Mirror Realm and imprisoned by Lin Xiaofan, right? Where is Lin Xiaofan? You call her out; I must give her a piece of my mind!"

"We grew up playing together with her, such a lovely and innocent girl she used to be, and look at what she has become after just a few years with you! She even did something as atrocious as betraying her friends and repaying kindness with enmity!"

"Stop blaming her, she's already feeling terrible about it," Hua Shan couldn't help but defend Lin Xiaofan.

Xie Xiaofeng's face showed complete disgust as he shouted loudly, "Pah! Can't she even own up to her actions now?"

"She made a forced choice for the sake of more lives; she is a remarkable person," Hua Shan tried to explain on behalf of Lin Xiaofan.

"Remarkable my ass!" Xie Xiaofeng said, red-faced with rage. Had Lin Xiaofan been in front of him right now, he would have devoured her alive.

"I must have been blind to have harbored a crush on someone like her for so long! I feel like I've wasted my youth on a dog!"

These words seemed extremely harsh to Hua Shan, but they did little to assuage Xie Xiaofeng's anger.

"Boss, should we shut that brat up?" Ru Kong, standing beside Hua Shan, asked.

"There's no need to harm him. Remember, we're only here to kill the two children inside the Nether King's belly!"

Hua Shan shook his head: "We did do something wrong in this matter; just let him have his rant."

"Hua Shan, where's the guy who can foresee the future?"

Hua Shan just shook his head without a word.

"Would he dare to come in front of me, so I could ask how he's foreseen his own death? It's ridiculous; can we really take the words of a charlatan seriously?"

Hua Shan sighed helplessly; he wanted to tell Xie Xiaofeng something about Gu Lai, that Gu Lai was different from ordinary charlatans, Gu Lai's foresight and prophecies never went wrong.

But he knew that Xie Xiaofeng was in no mood to listen at that moment.

At that moment.

There was an earthquake, "Rumble"!

The tremor was strong, making Hua Shan, Ji Ying, and Ru Kong sway several times while standing under the eaves.

"Ah! What's happening?" Xie Xiaofeng looked around in panic.

Soon after, the earthquake subsided, and the citizens of the Netherworld City flocked to the streets.

"Could it be that the Gate of the Nether King is unstable again?"

"Most likely!"

Amidst the chaotic noise outside the Yang King's Mansion, Hua Shan heard someone say that.

"Gate of the Nether King?" A glint flashed across Hua Shan's eyes. After pausing for a moment, he headed to the Eighteen Levels of Hell, in front of the Gate of the Nether King, along with Ji Ying and Ru Kong.

At that moment, Ye Yuqiao had just stopped manipulating the Nether King's Fire, and Zhao Chong was about to seal the Gate of the Nether King with Tang Jing.

"Ah! Nether King, so you are here!" Hua Shan exclaimed with joy.
