As the figure in the cloak finished speaking, the struggling Netherworld Emperor suddenly seemed to be controlled by something, and the glint of light in his eyes disappeared instantly.

Then, he stood up again stupidly, slowly turned around, facing Ye Guichen.

Seeing this, the cloaked person couldn’t help but let out a long sigh and said slowly, "Indeed, it really isn’t the time for the Corpse General to emerge from the coffin. Forcing him out now almost made him uncontrollable. Haha, luckily I still have the Holy Fire Order of the Holy Temple, this Corpse General remains within my control."

Next, the cloaked person looked at Ye Guichen and spoke lightly, "Boy, in front of a Corpse General at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, you stand no chance at all. Haha, now if you kneel and beg for mercy, I might still give you a chance to live."

Ye Guichen indeed felt the terror of the Foundation Establishment Peak.

If the Netherworld Emperor hadn’t hesitated at the last moment, he might have been killed by now.

But with this opportunity to breathe, Ye Guichen wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up.

He quickly used the Evergreen Technique to repair his body while observing the Corpse General.

Ye Guichen had basically determined that, in that instant, the Netherworld Emperor seemed to have felt the connection in his bloodline and showed mercy.

But now, that remaining consciousness has been stripped away again.

If he doesn’t fight desperately, he might really be killed.

Yet defeating a master at the Foundation Establishment Peak, the odds are slim.

No!

An idea flashed in Ye Guichen’s mind.

Who says I have no chance!

The Immortal Slayer Sword in my hand is an Immortal Sword, and that Green Nightmare Spear is certainly not ordinary either.

Furthermore, the Green Nightmare Spear contains the presence of an Artifact Spirit.

In such times, relying on the advantage of weapons, victory isn’t impossible.

"Holy Envoy, don’t celebrate too soon!"

Ye Guichen’s face sank, he didn’t delay any longer, seeing the Netherworld Emperor attack again, he summoned the Green Nightmare Spear with a flick of his hand.

"Green Nightmare, go stop him for me!"

Buzz buzz!

The Green Nightmare Spear emitted a buzzing sound, as if it hadn’t fought like this in a long time. After detaching from Ye Guichen’s hand, it surprisingly flew up, directly colliding with the Netherworld Emperor.

The Netherworld Emperor’s body was exceptionally hard, under the impact of the Green Nightmare Spear, it only paused for a moment without taking any damage.

However, the Green Nightmare Spear, without anyone controlling it, began to entangle with the Netherworld Emperor.

Clang clang clang!

The Green Nightmare Spear continuously collided with the Netherworld Emperor’s body, producing sounds like metal clashing, the scene was intensely fierce.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Guichen picked up the Immortal Slayer Sword.

The power of this sword, he had only unleashed a tenth or two now.

Originally, Ye Guichen had only cultivated to the third form of the Immortal Slaying Sword Technique, now to defeat the Netherworld Emperor, he would probably have to promote it to a higher level. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The fourth form of the Immortal Slayer Sword Technique is called "Rolling Waves and Sand".

One sword strike, like a massive rolling wave surging out.

If cultivated to the extreme, it could even destroy a house with one slash.

Of course, if controlled properly, it could achieve the level of killing mosquitoes and flies.

The finer the mastery, the more impressive it becomes.

Seeing the Green Nightmare Spear nearly unable to hold against the Netherworld Emperor, Ye Guichen fiercely infused his True Qi to the peak, aiming at the Netherworld Emperor, striking with a sword.

"Rolling Waves and Sand."

This sword, Ye Guichen poured almost all of his strength into it.

A feeling of instantly draining his power emerged.

This was Ye Guichen’s first time executing this move.

After wielding the Immortal Slayer Sword, not only did it form Sword Intent, but also a Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi not only carried the sound of surging waves, instead, it appeared to materialize, rushing toward the Netherworld Emperor.

Then, when those waves reached the Netherworld Emperor, they transformed into streams of sword light, directly piercing the Netherworld Emperor’s body.

The body, previously impenetrable by the Green Nightmare Spear, now bore faintly visible small holes.

Ye Guichen felt some heartache, but now there was no other way.

After the sword strike, he quickly consumed numerous pills to replenish his depleted blood and energy.

The next moment.

A thud was heard.

The Netherworld Emperor’s body fell heavily to the ground.

On the surface, there seemed to be no anomalies, but evidently, he had been injured by Ye Guichen’s sword, unable to attack anymore.

The cloaked person looked at Ye Guichen in shock, seemingly not expecting Ye Guichen to have such a strong sword.

"Get up!"

The cloaked person raised the token again, intending to command Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen grabbed the Green Nightmare Spear and tossed it at the cloaked person.

Swish!

The Green Nightmare Spear directly pierced through the cloaked person’s body, as if passing through air.

However, the cloaked person still let out a scream.

"Boy, just you wait, I’ll be back!"

Then, the cloaked person’s form collapsed, even the token fell to the ground.

Ye Guichen nearly exhausted, stepped forward and picked up the token, quickly stored it in his storage ring, then walked to the Netherworld Emperor.

Light emerged in the Netherworld Emperor’s eyes again, he stared blankly at Ye Guichen’s eyes, his mouth opened slightly, he managed to say a sentence: "Rescue your mother."

Then, his head tilted.

Before Ye Guichen could reach for him, the Netherworld Emperor’s armor began to disintegrate.

Within seconds, the Netherworld Emperor turned to ashes and completely disappeared.

Ye Guichen’s eyes were red.

He tried not to let himself cry.

"Young Master, don’t blame yourself, this method of refining corpses is too brutal. Once the living dead completely dies, they turn to ashes, for the Netherworld Emperor, it’s actually a sort of release."

Behind Ye Guichen, the voice of Xuanyuan Canghai sounded.

Obviously, with the cloaked person injured and fleeing, their consciousness returned to normal.

Ye Guichen remained silent, heavily fell to his knees, and bowed towards the spot where the Netherworld Emperor vanished.

Then, he stood up, wielded his sword, and sliced through the chains binding Xuanyuan Canghai and Bai Qi, his voice choked, "Today’s matter, none of you are allowed to speak of it. Go back, bring this coffin back, and give the Netherworld Emperor a grand burial. Also, I’ll be leaving for a while, during my absence, find a way to integrate all of the Seven Kings’ territory."

"Right, send someone to trace the Holy Temple’s trail, as well as the Demon Clan’s clues."

After giving instructions, Ye Guichen didn’t stay any longer and left quickly.

The cloaked person had been stabbed by the Green Nightmare Spear, even if not dead, he lost half of his life, incapable of causing trouble for the time being.

However, the words spoken by the Netherworld Emperor before disintegrating, tightened Ye Guichen’s heart.

Based on everything learned during this time, Ye Guichen sensed that his mother’s identity was probably complex, leaving the Netherworld Emperor back then might have been out of necessity.

The Netherworld Emperor, at the moment of dying, wanted him to rescue his mother, the only possibility is that she was imprisoned.

This matter isn’t hard to deduce.

Since the incident of slaughtering over fifty thousand people bears the shadow of the Holy Temple, his mother is likely connected to the Holy Temple too.

In this situation, as long as the Holy Temple is found, it wouldn’t be hard to find his mother.

Nonetheless, after witnessing the Corpse General comparable to the Foundation Building Peak, Ye Guichen realized his power was still too weak.

Both visiting the Spirit Beast Sect and the Holy Temple at this point, fearing even self-preservation might be impossible.

Hence, Ye Guichen must return to the secular world, master all the sword techniques of the Carefree Sword Immortal, and take a trip to the Esoteric Sect, striving to enhance his cultivation.
