"Could it be that the bloodthirsty Blood Demon is sealed under the lake on the island, and Xiao Su is a zombie, so he wants to release the Blood Demon!" Chen Hao speculated.

However, Chen Hao quickly denied his own guess: "No, that's not right. Xiao Su is the ghost infant that kicked open the Gate of the Nether King more than twenty years ago, so he must have become a zombie after being reincarnated. And since the Blood Demon has always been under the seal, it definitely wasn't the Blood Demon who bit him and turned him into a zombie."

"Could it be that Tai Shan is also a zombie?" Ye Fei guessed.

"Impossible!"

Hua Shan shook his head very surely: "If Tai Shan were bitten and turned into a zombie, then once he drank blood, his ability to control time and space would disappear. Besides, with his instantaneous movement ability, I estimate that even the Blood Demon couldn't get close to him, let alone other zombies."

"That's strange. Then why do they want to release the Blood Demon?"

Hua Shan suddenly let out a light sigh, then walked to the window, looking at the endless flowing traffic on the distant road, and said with a deep look in his eyes: "Do you know, even the people from the City of Yin and Time who are responsible for maintaining and guarding the long history and space-time, also possess short lives just like ordinary people.

"For aeons, many people from the City of Yin and Time have been searching for a way to avoid death, hoping to be as long-lasting and eternal as history itself. Therefore, it is possible that Tai Shan released the Blood Demon to obtain longevity from the Blood Demon."

"That's very possible. I remember someone once told me that the first-generation zombies do not need to drink human blood," Chen Hao nodded slightly.

The person he spoke of was Man Qingting, the senior sister from his previous life as Ye Heng.

"If this can explain Tai Shan's actions, what about Xiao Su?"

Ye Fei questioned: "Xiao Su is the ghost infant that kicked open the Gate of the Nether King more than twenty years ago, and it was Tai Shan who took him to the Netherworld back then. So where did Xiao Su come from before that? Why does he have such powerful abilities? And later on, who bit him and turned him into a zombie?"

"We'll probably only find out after we catch him."

Hua Shan answered: "But one thing for sure is that it was the ghost infant before Xiao Su's reincarnation who found Tai Shan, and then made a deal with Tai Shan to take him to the Netherworld to reincarnate in exchange for eternal life."

"The identity of that ghost infant truly is a mystery!" Hua Shan couldn't help but sigh again after finishing.

The three fell into deep thought, after a moment of silence, Ye Fei looked up at Chen Hao and asked: "Where should we go next to find Xiao Su?"

"Finding Xiao Su and Gu Lai is probably very difficult. However, Tai Shan will definitely be in the City of Yin and Time," Hua Shan said.

"You're going to take us to the City of Yin and Time to find Tai Shan?"

"That won't be necessary!" Chen Hao interjected before Hua Shan could speak, "The Blood Demon must not yet have been released, so sooner or later, Tai Shan and Xiao Su will have to go to the island in the East Sea. All we have to do is wait for the rabbit."

Ye Fei nodded. Suddenly, a look of hesitation crossed his face.

"What's wrong?" Chen Hao asked with concern.

Ye Fei pulled Chen Hao aside to a corner and said with a bitter smile: "I've been in the Netherworld for more than half a month because Yan Ru wants to divorce me, so I have been avoiding going back."

Chen Hao was greatly surprised.

He remembered Ye Fei once said that he and Yan Ru had hurried to get married because they wanted to have no regrets before her father died. Now, Yan Ru's father had passed away several months ago.

After pausing, Ye Fei continued with a bitter expression: "But avoidance is never the solution. Now that I've returned to City H today, I'll just go and deal with the divorce."

"Ye Fei, haven't you apologized to her yet? haven't you told her your feelings?"

"I was planning to tell her, but her father became critically ill at the time, and I didn't have the chance to speak."

Chen Hao patted Ye Fei on the shoulder, his eyes certain as he said: "Trust me, it's not too late to tell her now."

Ye Fei hesitated.

"Even if you do tell her, she will definitely still insist on getting a divorce. That's because you have never given her a sense of security," Chen Hao continued to say.

"What should I do to give her a sense of security?"

"Have you not yet consummated your marriage?"

Ye Fei nodded.

"Then try taking the initiative and be assertive, just like when I taught you to pin her against the wall and kiss her forcefully."

Ye Fei was so shocked that his eyes bulged, and after a long while, he stuttered, "Will this really work?"

Chen Hao's gaze became uncertain, "Of course, all of this presupposes that she still has you in her heart. So you'd better try it out and see how she reacts. If she resists fiercely, then just give up."

Ye Fei's face showed hesitation.

"Like, you could sign the divorce agreement and then observe her expression to see if she looks very upset and if there's a glint of tears in her eyes."

"And most importantly, whether it works or not, don't ever tell her that these are my teachings."

Ye Fei's mouth twisted bitterly.

...

Dusk fell.

Tai Shan arrived in a dark alley in City J from the City of Yin and Time.

After leaving the alley, Tai Shan circled around several nearby streets for a while and, after making sure no one was following him, he finally moved to an ordinary residential house in City Z.

He knew Hua Shan and Chen Hao were planning to strike back at them, so he was very cautious.

After knocking on the door three times, he heard six knocks from inside before entering.

Gu Lai, along with Xiao Su, were hiding in that room.

"What's the matter?" Tai Shan asked.

"We can take action in three days."

Gu Lai responded, "I have already foreseen the outcome in three days."

While speaking, Gu Lai removed the eyepatch from his right eye, and suddenly, Tai Shan saw above Gu Lai's right eye:

Over the East Sea surged tumultuous waves and rollicking tides, a huge crimson figure suspended in the sky, obscuring the bright moon and stars.

And there he was, standing on the surface of the sea, near the crimson figure, alongside Xiao Su and Gu Lai, with several dragons circling around them.

Behind the three of them, the bodies of Chen Hao, Ye Fei, and a few others floated on the sea.

"The Blood Demon will be successfully released, and Chen Hao and Ye Fei will all die at the hands of Xiao Su," Gu Lai explained to Tai Shan.

After Gu Lai's right eye closed, Tai Shan looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Is your prediction accurate? You haven't betrayed us, have you?"

"It's possible that I might betray you, but not now."

Gu Lai sneered, "The only thing I will never betray in this life is my prediction. However, since I've chosen you, this alone proves that you will have the last laugh, just as I had chosen Hua Shan in the past. I always stand on the side of victory."

Tai Shan didn't speak further but kept scrutinizing Gu Lai with suspicious eyes.

"He has already dealt with Hua Shan like that, what are you still worried about?"

Xiao Su, who was beside him, spoke, "Moreover, when the time comes, we will take him with us. If we find out he's deceiving us, we'll just kill him right there!"
