Bei Yu had never seen such a beautiful woman before, even being a woman herself, at the moment she saw the lady in red, it felt like she was the only person left in the world.....

However, the stunningly beautiful face also brought her utter despair, as she watched helplessly the woman come in, watched her control the Day Traveling God to open the Yin realm, and the moment that black-and-white reversed world appeared, she saw from above the distant and horrified Murong Bingyun. ....

Bei Yu immediately showed a bitter smile!

She had, after all, lost the gamble...

Not only had she wasted the clue Murong left her, but she also ruined Murong’s last chance at life!

Now she was certain that the monster’s goal was Murong. Murong had been hiding inside what was supposedly the safe haven of the Yin realm, unfortunately..... it didn’t stay safe for long before she and her group had unwittingly doomed it...

She wondered if she would end up hating herself and her companions in the end?

But if their souls were in trouble, they probably..... wouldn’t be able to harbor hate toward them anymore, right?

She really was sorry... Murong....

As the black-and-white world gradually blurred and disappeared, Bei Yu, who still couldn’t move, let a tear roll down from the corner of her eye.

She was to be the next generation’s Wolf Girl in her family, destined like her ancestors to be sacrificed to the Wolf King. Her fate was no different from Murong’s, which is why, from a very young age, she had been cold as ice, forbidding others to get close—until she met Murong.

This boy, destined to be sacrificed to the Wolf God, was more composed than anyone else.

To him, being born with such a fate was already good enough, far better than those children in the common world who couldn’t even eat their fill, and were sacrificed by their families to evil spirits in exchange for food.

He appeared gentle, yet he harbored grand and ambitious dreams.

He aspired to change the Northern Wolf Country, to make Beilang the next Central Plains, to learn from the historic King of Qin, to rid all citizens of the persecution by evil spirits!

She had once laughed at him for being naive, but year after year, he actually worked towards his vision, almost infecting her with his charm, leading her along to Lyuzhou.

Witnessing all the novelties here, she still remembered, just a few days ago, on the Observing Stars Tower, how he declared his ambition... he wanted the capital of Beilang to one day have Lyuzhou’s nightscape, wanted the people of Beilang to have the smiles of Lyuzhou’s citizens.

A young man’s bold aspirations can always infect those around him, and that day, she herself dreamt at night of things she once mocked.

But dreams..... are after all just dreams...

Bei Yu gave a bitter smile, reality was indeed cruel, once again reminding them of how insignificant and vulnerable they were!

-------------------------------------

"Is this the Yin realm?"

The Straw Man’s eerie voice carried a rasp, looking around in greed.

"That Chen Qing is truly unique. He was actually able to compete with the Path of Yin and Yang for territory.

What do you think, if his power keeps growing, might this Yin realm.

... eventually cover the entire world? And those monsters in the Path of Yin and Yang.

... will they lose their authority forever? "

"Lose their authority forever?" Zi Yue raised her head, frowning.

She vaguely remembered, King of Qin.... once said, there’s a way to completely eradicate the Path of Yin and Yang, to take control of reincarnation into one’s own hands, but the risk is great because one has to make enemies with all the monsters in the Path of Yin and Yang.

Therefore, King of Qin opted for a more stable approach, controlling the fate of the mortal realm to ensure the eternal life of their group of Reincarnating Demons and the rights in the underworld, leaving it to those monsters to maintain the balance.

But even so..... those monsters still made their move in the end!!

Chen Qing’s approach seems beautiful, yet it’s more difficult than King of Qin’s from back then. That’s also why she doesn’t plan to join in, because the enemy.... is too fearsome!

"Go find your Murong quickly, before the lord of the Yin realm comes back...."

"What? You’re afraid of him?" Straw Man cackled eerily.

"Here, I can feel a great force of rejection from heaven and earth, even more exaggerated than the Path of Yin and Yang. I have a feeling: in this place, no one can match Wei Gongcheng!

"Is it that exaggerated?"

The Straw Man was taken aback but still obediently gestured, and several mediators, now infused with power, grinned viciously and darted off towards Murong with superhuman speed.

From afar, Murong felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar, filled with overwhelming despair!

In the end, was he truly unable to escape?

He didn’t try to run away. When he was still alive, facing those two corrupted members of the Shen Family, he didn’t have a chance, and now, in his status as a Yin Spirit, he could only use extremely limited magic. This time.... there wouldn’t be a second Observing Stars Tower jump to save him....

"The dream..... has finally ended, hasn’t it....." As the two hideous figures drew closer, Murong..... closed his eyes.

"At such a young age, why do you speak like an old man?"

A faint voice arose, stirring a movement in Murong’s originally desperate expression!

It sounded familiar, as if he had heard it at the opening ceremony....

Suddenly opening his eyes, Murong instantly saw that familiar figure, clad in black with wandering black dragons on the garment, and beneath the cold mask, black pupils that seemed as though they could contain the darkness of the entire world.

He recognized the person!

At the time of the introduction, all of the newcomers from outside couldn’t quite believe it: the ruler of the underworld of Lyuzhou, as the rumors claimed!

"Let’s go!"

Zi Yue, upon seeing Wei Gongcheng appear, knew immediately she had been duped and unhesitatingly attempted to pull Ali and the Straw Man away!

"You won’t get away..." Standing with his hands behind his back, Wei Gongcheng waved his hand lightly, and countless chains materialized out of thin air, binding the few human mediums who rushed over tightly; as the chains bound their bodies, the spirits within were forcibly extracted, and the controlled bodies ceased their struggles instantly!

This scene nearly made the Straw Man’s eyeballs pop out!

This guy could actually forcibly detain people’s souls?

What kind of power was this?

Zi Yue and Ali immediately realized that they must not be touched by those chains!

"Clear the way!" Ali yelled at Chen Ye!

A green light flashed in Chen Ye’s eyes; the Path of Yin and Yang had just opened, but it was sealed once again instantly!

"All powers of the rightful gods of the underworld are granted by me..." Wei Gongcheng looked at them indifferently and said, "Stop resisting, it would be wiser for you all to stay put, although it’s troublesome to detain living people here."

"Zi Yue!"

The Straw Man panicked immediately!

If the medium was destroyed, it itself would be of little use; it even had the sensation that this guy... was the nemesis of the Reincarnating Demon, as if dying here would leave it no way to reincarnate and escape!

Zi Yue’s eyes blazed with purple light, and she formed a Dharma Seal with her hands: "Burn!"

In the next instant, a streak of starlight descended from the heavens, and Wei Gongcheng stood frozen in place; he could see clearly that this streak of starlight had come from the celestial stars of the mortal world!

What kind of magic was this fellow using that could actually penetrate Yin and Yang?

It was also fortunate that he had designed the main battlefield to be in the underworld; otherwise, facing this individual, there would not have been the slightest chance for him!

Starting from the moment Murong got into trouble, Wei Gongcheng had already thought of how to trap this group of people within the underworld.

A sudden attack, Murong’s tragic death, all made Wei Gongcheng suspect that Murong held a special significance to that dark and eerie demon, because if chaos was the goal, killing the important heirs of Capital City or the prominent families of the North would have been more likely to cause confusion and disputes.

His lord reminded him of the words ’the source’, and that was exactly what this meant.

In fact, as the ruler of the underworld, once Murong successfully escaped, it would have been impossible to hide his movements in Wei Gongcheng’s realm; the reason why Chen Ying wasn’t informed was his fear that Chen Ying’s memory alteration might affect his subsequent plans.

The remainder was simple: he silently allocated the tasks, directing a Night Traveling God at random to patrol the street where Murong was, encounter Murong by chance, and with Chen Ye’s disposition, he would certainly bring him back home, and ultimately to the underworld.

Chen Ye’s memory was not part of the plan, so even if the Thousand-Faced Fox took control of him, it wouldn’t detect his scheme but would become less cautious due to Chen Ye’s memories.

This led to the standoff in the underworld.

Only it never occurred to him that Zi Yue’s abilities were so defying; she could actually directly pierce through Yin and Yang, further solidifying Wei Gongcheng’s determination to keep Zi Yue behind!

This person, he must not be allowed to affect his lord’s Dragon Palace plans!

"Let’s go!" Zi Yue’s complexion was pale, clearly, the starlight that pierced through Yin and Yang had greatly drained her strength.

Looking at the about-to-close gap in the underworld, without any hesitation, she quickly led Ali and the Straw Man towards the opening left by the starlight.

Their speed was like that of a shooting star, causing Wei Gongcheng’s face to darken as he desperately wielded the power of faith to close in quickly, all the while rapidly repairing the breach in the sky!

This time he had to give it his all, even if he had to use his body, he had to keep them in the underworld; Zi Yue’s near-death appearance suggested she couldn’t release a second ability as spectacular as the first, and as long as he could stop this once, he could avert the crisis.

Finally, with the assistance of the power of causality, Wei Gongcheng managed to get ahead of Zi Yue and her group, blocking the gap in the underworld before them!

But just at that moment, a panicked shout came from below: "Senior, watch out!!!"
