My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 784: Chaos in the Netherworld

Qin Feng summoned Bai Su to open the rift with the Netherworld. He took out the black jade from his arms and established a connection with the Ghost Lord.

However, this time, despite the floor being covered with desserts and pastries, they failed to successfully enter the Netherworld.

It seemed as though something was blocking the connection between the two sides.

“Hmm? Could it be a signal issue?” Qin Feng muttered to himself. He couldn’t believe that the Ghost Lord, who loved sweets, would voluntarily reject such offerings.

Just as he was about to try again, a bone-shaped token carved from black jade shot out from the crack and landed in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful force wiped out the spatial crack.

Bai Su was thrown into the air by the shockwave and landed in Qin Feng’s arms, whimpering aggrievedly.

Qin Feng looked at where the crack had disappeared with a solemn expression on his face.

Inside the hall, the Ghost Lord withdrew her hand and looked towards the direction of the door, where a figure hurriedly approached with a panicked expression.

This person was named Ji Kang, the right-hand man of the Central Ghost Emperor, and his strength was among the top in the entire Netherworld.

“What’s the matter?”

“Reporting to the Ghost Lord, a breach has been torn open in the barrier outside the Negate Bridge, and a large number of enemies have invaded. Lord Zhou, in order to repel them, was besieged by three enemy leaders and severely injured.”

Without saying a word, the Ghost Lord dashed towards the direction of the barrier.

On the Negate Bridge, countless ghost generals were wounded, with casualties including Cai Yulei, Zhang Heng, and others in the transcendence realm.

Looking at the black barrier, a crack rose from the ground, reaching straight into the sky.

Countless monsters made of flesh and bones emerged from it, their huge arms stuck in the crevices, wildly thrashing about and creating powerful gusts of wind, causing the entire Negate Bridge to tremble.

By the time the Ghost Lord arrived, the situation was almost out of control.

The Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi had a terrifying wound on his chest, and his beating heart was visible beneath his breastbone.

Even with such severe injuries, he did not leave the battlefield but stood at the forefront, resisting the enemy’s fiercest attacks.

Feeling the aura beside him, he turned around and said with difficulty, “I’m ashamed of myself, Ghost Lord, for not being able to hold the barrier.”

The Ghost Lord didn’t say much but waved her right hand, enveloping Zhou Qi’s chest with thick Netherworld Qi, and the wound began to heal at a visible rate.

“What is this?” Zhou Qi’s eyes showed surprise. The Netherworld Qi of the Netherworld did not have such powerful healing capabilities. There was a power of life within the Ghost Lord’s Netherworld Qi!

And the source of this life force naturally came from the offerings Qin Feng had previously sent, more accurately, from the healing thunder attached to the offerings by Bai Su.

“What exactly happened?” The Ghost Lord asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Qi regained his senses and briefly explained the situation’s background.

“The barrier laid down by the Ghost Lord’s painstaking efforts shouldn’t be so easily broken. The current situation is undoubtedly related to the imbalance of life and death.”

The barrier was constructed from the Netherworld Qi of the Netherworld, so the old man’s speculation was not unfounded.

However, the Ghost Lord frowned slightly. She often checked the Golden Bowl Seal and the barrier to ensure that those guys wouldn’t break free. Even if there was an imbalance of life and death, it shouldn’t have led to such a large breach being torn open by the enemy.

Although she had many doubts in her mind, the current situation didn’t allow her the luxury of thinking too much.

After all the effort to block them, how could she allow them to come back so easily?

The aura around the little girl stirred, and the Netherworld Qi of the Netherworld descended like a Milky Way, covering her.

A powerful pressure attracted everyone’s attention. They seemed to see, within the pitch-black ink-like Netherworld Qi, a graceful figure appearing and disappearing.

The Netherworld Qi roared like a tsunami, surging towards the barrier, engulfing countless strange fleshy and skeletal bodies. Even the giant hand stuck in the crevice was pushed back.

Several Ghost Emperors were astonished by the scene.

After the Ghost Lord had been dormant for thousands of years and resurrected, she almost never made a move. They had thought that the Ghost Lord’s strength had greatly declined.

However, the fact before them proved otherwise. Even though the Ghost Lord’s body had shrunk, she still possessed the top-notch power in the Netherworld.

In the dense Netherworld Qi, the voice of the Ghost Lord echoed, “I will restore the barrier. During this period, Zhou Qi will act in my stead.”

Leaving these words behind, a black mist surged towards the crack in the barrier, filling it completely.

Within the black mist, the delicate figure of the Ghost Lord exuded a powerful pressure, sending shivers down people’s spines.

“Yes, my Lord.” Zhou Qi returned to the Negate Bridge and slightly bowed towards the barrier.

On the other side, Li Yang, upon learning about Father Qin’s situation, naturally wouldn’t remain idle. However, there was little he could do, so he could only pin his hopes on the mortal realm.

Fortunately, he could still contact the people from the mortal realm through his own stele.

Just as he was about to set off, he noticed many powerful auras flying towards the Gate of Hell in the Peach Blossom Mountain in the Eastern Region.

“Hmm? Leading them is Cai Yulei, followed by the ghost generals under the Eastern Ghost Emperors. Shouldn’t they be staying at the Negate Bridge to prevent enemy invasions? Why are they leaving on their own?”

At this moment, Li Yang noticed something odd about these people. Each of them had an additional flame of life within them. That was due to the Netherworld’s technique of Plucking Stars and Seizing Life!

He instantly understood what was happening and his expression changed drastically.

“These guys, do they intend to take advantage of this chaos to enter the breach through the Gate of Hell? Aren’t they afraid of the Ghost Lord’s punishment?”

Sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard, Qin Feng inspected the bone-shaped token in his hand, looking pensive.

He didn’t understand the Ghost Lord’s intentions, but he was sure of one thing: something unknown had happened in the Netherworld.

After trying and failing to establish contact with the Ghost Lord once the passage was forcefully closed, Qin Feng tried again but to no avail.

He couldn’t help but worry about his father’s safety. The dreams of that night seemed vivid in his mind.

“Could something have happened to Dad?”

“I need to inform my teacher about this.”

Amidst his unease, Qin Feng failed to notice a strand of moonlight piercing through the dark clouds, landing on the shadow behind him, blending with him into one.

Outside of Jinyang City in the Southern Region, on a cliff, Old Baili arrived at Li Yang’s grave, carrying a wine jug as usual.

Regularly visiting to chat with Li Yang below seemed to have become his habit.

As the connection between the Netherworld and this mortal realm grew tighter, their communication became much more smoother.

Pouring out half of the wine in front of the grave, a stream of clear qi circulated on the stele in response from Li Yang.

Before Old Man Baili could even greet, Li Yang on the other end hurriedly explained the anomalies occurring in the Netherworld.

“The Netherworld Netherworld is about to face a major crisis. Quickly inform the Heavenly Tower’s National Teacher and prepare for it, or the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Upon hearing this, Old Man Baili stood up instantly and his brow furrowed tightly.
