After escaping from the Eighteen Levels of Hell, Ye Yuqiao led a group of people to a mountain on the outskirts north of Netherworld City.

After landing, the exhausted Ye Yuqiao nearly collapsed.

"Yuqiao!" Tang Jing supported Ye Yuqiao from behind.

Ye Yuqiao shook her head and hoarsely said, "I'm fine!"

She struggled to open her eyes and look in the direction of Netherworld City, her gaze filled with self-reproach and guilt.

By her estimation, the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld would break out of Hell any moment, and then the entire Netherworld City would suffer a disaster-like blow.

But she had no time to notify the citizens of Netherworld City to flee, and could only stand powerlessly on high ground like a wilted willow, watching the disaster unfold.

However, at that moment, Niu Tou found her and reported, "Your Majesty, the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld are temporarily trapped in a barrier by those two people from earlier."

Ye Yuqiao's eyes immediately flashed with a glimmer of light, and she said with some surprise, "Then you must quickly relay my orders: everyone must immediately leave Netherworld City and seek refuge in Wushuang City."

Niu Tou was astonished, saying, "Nether King, issuing such an order could likely incite great chaos in the Netherworld and even endanger your position as the Nether King. Please think carefully."

"The position of Nether King is not important; what's important are the lives of the citizens in the city. Hurry up, use your avatars to spread the word to all citizens. Also, from now onwards, hold off crossing the Naihe Bridge for the Yin Souls reporting to the Netherworld; let Hell and the Samsara Path operate as normal," Ye Yuqiao said urgently.

Niu Tou nodded.

"Niu Tou, please tell Xie Xiaofeng our current location and ask him to come and meet with us."

"Alright!"

Following that, in Netherworld City, tens of thousands of Niu Tou's avatars ran wildly through the city, loudly announcing that the Primordial Demons of the Underworld were about to escape Hell and urging everyone to flee Netherworld City for Wushuang City immediately.

Upon hearing this, the city's citizens quickly packed their bags, with entire families and neighborhoods leaving Netherworld City together.

In a short time, the city was in chaos, as hundreds of thousands of people, like ants abandoning their nest, fled Netherworld City and surged towards Wushuang City.

As for the four major families and other nobles within the city, Niu Tou directed them to a town called Gu Wutown.

Shortly after, Xie Xiaofeng rode over on Xiao Bai.

"Neigh!" Upon arriving in front of Ye Yuqiao, Xiao Bai first gently nuzzled her with its pink nose.

"Good boy!" Ye Yuqiao said with a light laughter, Xiao Bai's action providing some consolation to her heavy heart.

...

...

As the night gradually fell, and more and more people escaped from Netherworld City, Ye Yuqiao's anxious heart eased slightly.

Some time later, as the night had completely descended and only a sparse population remained in Netherworld City, a thunderous roar sounded, and three massive figures burst out of Hell, shooting up into the sky above Netherworld City!

The three Primordial Demons of the Underworld had used their powerful strength to break through the space-time Barrier of Hua Shan and escaped.

Everything happened as Ye Yuqiao had predicted: once they regained their freedom, the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld released the humiliation and anger of being imprisoned for tens of thousands of years upon Netherworld City.

In an instant, the grand and magnificent Netherworld City was half-destroyed into ruins, and even Yangwang Mansion, where Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao lived after their marriage, was not spared.

Seeing her home and the city she had grown up in from childhood destroyed, Ye Yuqiao couldn't control her emotions and tears fell.

"Yuqiao, don't be sad anymore."

Tang Jing held Ye Yuqiao to comfort her: "At least all the citizens of the city have escaped. As long as there are people, the homeland will be restored sooner or later."

"Meow!" Xiao Bai made a weak sound, comforting Ye Yuqiao with its own language.

Ye Yuqiao nodded slightly, but her tears grew even more. Although she was grateful to Tang Jing and Xiao Bai, what she needed more at this moment was Chen Hao.

"Not good!" Zhao Chong suddenly let out an exclamation.

Ye Yuqiao's eyes snapped open. Then, she saw that after destroying half of Netherworld City, the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld were surging towards Wushuang City.

In that direction, there were hundreds of thousands of citizens who had just escaped from Netherworld City.

"Those three Primordial Demons of the Underworld are going to attack the citizens!"

Right after Zhao Chong's words, the three swiftly moving Primordial Demons had already left Netherworld City!

Without another word, Zhao Chong rushed forward to block the path of the three Primordial Demons.

In an instant, he unleashed his entire Spiritual Power, transforming into a blood-red giant sword. Numerous smaller crimson swords then separated from the giant one, forming a rain of blades that attacked the three Primordial Demons.

"Roar!" The Primordial Demon named Jiao roared, and the ancient Spiritual Power surging from its body easily neutralized and dispelled the incoming red blade rain.

Countless ancient Yin Qi spread, blanketing the mountains and forests within a few hundred miles.

The first move having no effect, Zhao Chong, transformed into the blood-red giant sword, thrust directly at the three Primordial Demons, a chill and Sword Qi also emerging from the blade, forming a violent storm of energy.

"Whoosh!" The Primordial Demon named Yu soared high into the sky, then dramatically flapped its wings, creating a gust filled with ancient Spiritual Power. It clashed with the oncoming Sword Qi, releasing a sharp, piercing roar, sounding like the cries of thousands of wailing ghosts gathered together.

Then, the Primordial Demon named Jiao, with its body horizontal, rammed towards Zhao Chong, who had transformed into the Yang Energy giant sword.

Just about to collide, Jiao skillfully dodged the tip of the giant sword with its head and then rapidly spun its body, wrapping around the sword's blade.

A cold glint flashed across Jiao's body!

As Jiao's Spiritual Power far exceeded that of Zhao Chong, the Yang Energy giant sword was quickly bent.

"Roar!" At this moment, the last Primordial Demon named Ao rushed over, opening its enormous maw to reveal sharp, serrated teeth.

It intended to snap the giant sword transformed by Zhao Chong and then devour the reverted Zhao Chong!

Just then, dazzling flames suddenly appeared atop a western mountain, the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld glanced over, only to see a firebird swooping in at high speed.

Aimed at the three Primordial Demons, Ye Yuqiao, transformed into the firebird, directly shot out three balls of flames.

Jiao and Ao immediately dodged, and as Jiao, wrapped around the blood-red giant sword, was about to break free from the blade, a stream of blood-red Spiritual Power suddenly flowed out from the sword, coiling around Jiao, preventing its escape.

"Roar!" Jiao threw its head back, letting out a long howl, its inner Spiritual Power bursting forth to break the Spiritual Power bound around its body, also shattering Zhao Chong's transformed giant sword into countless pieces.

"Ah!" As the giant sword shattered, Zhao Chong appeared in the air beneath Jiao.

At this moment, he was severely wounded, with closed eyes, plummeting downward.

"Screech!" Jiao let out a piteful scream, because it had been scorched by the firebird's Purgatory Fire.

Then the burning pain of the Purgatory Fire spread throughout its body, causing it to writhe in agony in the sky, screaming endlessly.
