My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

“Yes.” The man glanced at Zhang Hao’s narrowed, dangerous expression, coughed, and explained, “But you don’t need to worry, because so far we are still conducting internal hunting training in the South China Sea region, and there is no sign of it spreading to other parts of the country. According to my speculation, we can only hunt those old-school celestial masters after we have mastered a certain amount of divine power. And those who have already begun hunting old-school celestial masters have already become top experts among those who have signed contracts. As far as I know, there are no more than three such experts in the entire new faction.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao initially breathed a sigh of relief, but after hearing the last few sentences, he deeply felt the threat lurking within. This message had to be relayed to the King of Hell as soon as possible, so that the King could quickly arrange for the underworld's ghost messengers to step forward, strengthen patrols, and protect those old-fashioned Taoist masters.

"I was hoping to chat with you a little longer, but it seems unnecessary now. Alright, I have to get to work. Let's go outside." He had used a special secret technique to shield their conversation from Li Jingyun outside. He began casting a spell, countless streams of gloomy energy surging from his palms. This gloomy energy seemed to be being silently and slowly absorbed within his dantian space. The surging yin energy was so vast, it was like an inexhaustible source of living water.

The man beside him stared wide-eyed. "You can actually release so much Yin energy in one go? Aren't you afraid of dying from exhaustion?" He swallowed hard and continued, "That kind of death would be unbearable for a psychic who cultivates Yin-Yang magic, wouldn't it?" Even a normal person, even with special magic, wouldn't release so much Yin energy at once. Because the human body and soul are balanced between Yin and Yang. Even if the soul has a slightly stronger Yin energy, it still maintains a delicate balance. Releasing too much Yin energy is like draining one's life force!

Zhang Hao completely disregarded his astonishment. After releasing a large amount of Yin energy, Zhang Hao began to control his aura, covering his surface with a layer of special Yin-Yang Void Qi. Back when he was trapped in this special dantian space, he had already secretly studied its energy composition and spatial sealing characteristics. Sure enough, he quickly discovered that using Yin-Yang Void Qi allowed his entire soul to leave this place. Yin-Yang Void Qi originated from Yin-Yang Qi, ethereal and seemingly nonexistent; unless one's cultivation level was extremely high, one wouldn't even be aware of the existence of this energy.

He calmly enveloped himself in a layer of yin-yang void energy, and then covered the other man with a similar layer of yin-yang energy. He said to the man, "Close your eyes." The man closed his eyes. The man felt his shoulders being gripped, and his entire body seemed to be covered by a cool, peculiar aura. Then he was being pushed forward slowly. As they walked, the person pushing him suddenly stopped.

"Alright, you can open your eyes now," Zhang Hao said calmly. The man opened his eyes and looked around. They were in a dark alley, extremely quiet. This was a demolition zone; it was the middle of the night and there was nobody around—it was eerily quiet.

Zhang Hao said casually, "Now, tell me everything you know about how you signed the agreement to obtain divine power. Remember, every single detail. If you dare disobey my orders, the contract will deem you a traitor, and you will be instantly obliterated." This threat was terrifying; the man's expression changed upon hearing it. Before explaining, he said, "I really dislike being threatened. If you want me to do anything for you in the future, don't threaten me with my death again." Zhang Hao waved his hand to indicate he understood.

The man began to explain the reason why the new-style Celestial Masters acquired their power. "I don't know very clearly either. In short, on a mysterious night, I had a dream in which a mysterious voice told me: The rules of the three realms of heaven and earth are about to collapse, and the power of the gods will be transferred to those who are chosen. We are about to become the new order-makers. In other words, after we obtain the energy, we will be able to control the order of the three realms."

Zhang Hao observed the other person's expression thoughtfully. This person didn't seem to be lying, and what they said should be credible, since the contract hadn't given him any warnings about lying. "We're currently in the stage of becoming stronger. Even the strongest among us have only gone from hunting the new faction to hunting the old. Once we become stronger through battle, we'll be able to form an alliance with overwhelming power and become the new rulers, replacing both the Underworld and the Heavenly Court!"

After saying this, the man suddenly laughed. His laughter had a slightly eerie quality, like a man whose face was contorted in pain but who was forcing himself not to cry out, instead laughing and mocking others. Zhang Hao wasn't surprised at all by this; he calmly looked at the man before him.

"You don't seem surprised at all. Could it be that you saw through me all along?" The man suddenly laughed, and as soon as he laughed, the contract of enslavement that had been signed appeared out of thin air. In an instant, a bolt of heavenly lightning, recognized by the rules of heaven and earth, struck out from within the contract! The lightning thundered and struck the man's soul! With a deafening roar, white smoke filled the sky, as if something had shattered completely.

Zhang Hao, however, did not immediately lower his guard. Looking at everything before him, he suddenly became alert. As the white smoke dissipated, he could sense that the person who had violated the terms of the signed contract had truly vanished completely! But this one before him…

Suddenly, Zhang Hao grabbed upwards with both hands, spun around, and leaped upwards to dodge the massive Yin-Yang Thousand-Man Slash that suddenly attacked from his spot! The enormous energy formed from condensed Yin energy transformed into a huge blade, slashing horizontally across his waist from the place where he stood! As he leaped to dodge, the blade sliced ​​through the walls of the alleyway.

Zhang Hao stared coldly at the soul that had attacked him. The soul looked exactly like the man from before, except that this man's eyes were completely black, without a trace of white.

Zhang Hao quickly figured out the real reason for this unusual situation. (End of Chapter)
