My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 798: Dad, This Time It's My Turn to Save You

With the tumultuous events in the Netherworld, Li Yang naturally heard about it.

He knew Qin Feng would come looking for him, so he arranged for his trusted men to search for Qin Feng’s whereabouts everywhere.

However, Qin Feng seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.

Li Yang had a faint suspicion that someone in the Netherworld was guiding Qin Feng, allowing him to evade pursuit and disappear in this unfamiliar realm.

If that were the case, Qin Feng would undoubtedly find his way to him with that person’s guidance.

Realizing this, Li Yang stopped wandering and waited patiently in place.

As time passed, the dim Netherworld was shrouded in darkness.

Dim candlelights swayed in the wind as Li Yang rested with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he seemed to hear something and opened his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips. “You’ve finally come.”

Boom!

This was an ancient pillar that had existed in the Netherworld for an unknown length of time!

The barren land, which should have stretched for miles, was now crowded with people.

A countless number of ghost soldiers and generals gathered together because today was the day they imposed the punishment of hades on Qin Jian’an, the Southern Ghost Emperor!

Whoosh!

Several streaks of white light streaked across the sky, exerting a powerful pressure that subdued the noisy atmosphere. The surroundings instantly fell silent, as if one could hear a pin drop.

The ghost soldiers and generals looked towards the incoming figures, all showing respectful expressions.

Apart from Qin Jian’an, the other four Ghost Emperors had gathered, led by Zhou Qi, the Central Ghost Emperor with white hair!

Zhou Qi looked up at the sky with solemnity. With a sweep of his left hand into the void, space trembled, and a black hole suddenly appeared.

In the black hole, the weary figure of Qin Jian’an was visible, bound by chains.

“Is that the Abyssal Prison?” Some of the ghost soldiers whispered to each other.

The Abyssal Prison was where major criminals of the Netherworld were incarcerated, a place reserved exclusively for the big shots.

For ordinary ghost soldiers and generals, dreaming of obtaining this “honor” was nothing but a fantasy.

As the Southern Ghost Emperor, Qin Jian’an could only be detained in the Abyssal Prison.

Zhou Qi looked at the figure in the black hole with an expressionless face and simply waved his left hand. Father Qin’s chains contracted, and he flew towards the pillar like a kite with a broken string.

When they were less than ten feet apart, the patterns on the pillar began to glow red, and intricate runes emerged like shackles, binding Qin Jian’an to the pillar in the void!

An indifferent yet weary voice rang out, “Qin Jian’an, the Southern Ghost Emperor, entered from the broken realm, disrupted the balance of life and death in the Netherworld through unknown means, causing turmoil, and loosening the seal of the Negate Bridge. Acting under the orders of the Ghost Lord, today we impose the punishment of hades upon him to serve as a warning to others!”

Zhou Qi’s words were the judgment.

The ghost soldiers and generals, upon hearing this, were filled with righteous indignation, and curses filled the air.

In the crowd, Li Yang saw Qin Jian’an, his fists clenched and his eyes showing a complex expression. He wanted to save Qin Jian’an, but he couldn’t act recklessly. He had to wait for the right time.

Zhao Wenhao spoke up, “Shouldn’t the punishment of hades be postponed until the Ghost Lord returns?”

Shentu replied coldly, “The Ghost Lord is maintaining the seal of the Negate Bridge and cannot leave. Furthermore, the execution date was set by the Ghost Lord herself, so whether she is here or not makes no difference.”

“I still think that imposing the punishment of hades on the Southern Ghost Emperor is too arbitrary. There is no concrete evidence for the accusations against him,” Zhao Wenhao said, glancing at Zhou Qi and focusing on a certain spot.

“Zhao Wenhao, what is your purpose in deliberately delaying time here?” Shentu frowned.

“You’re overthinking it.”

Before the two could continue their debate, they were interrupted by a voice, “Since the Ghost Lord has given the order, the punishment of hades will be carried out without further ado.”

With that, Zhou Qi looked up at the sky.

Above the pillar, another bolt of thunder streaked across, as mighty as a roaring dragon.

Boom!

The thunder dragon descended and struck the pillar, causing a violent gust of wind to rise and merge with the thunder, becoming one.

Then came the second, the third…

Mixed with thunder, the gust of wind grew stronger. To everyone’s surprise, it transformed into a fierce beast with a grinning mouth, resembling a qilin!

The purple-red Qilin jumped up and down on the pillar, its huge eyes fixed on the bound Qin Jian’an as if it wanted to swallow him whole.

The ghost soldiers and generals, witnessing this scene, were filled with terror. On top of the qilin, they felt a terrifying pressure.

What kind of terrifying fluctuation was this?

At this point, they had a clearer understanding of the terror of the punishment of hades.

After the fear came excitement, filling them with a desire for revenge against those who betrayed the Netherworld.

“Kill him!”

“Kill the Southern Ghost Emperor!”

“Let him beg for life but find no mercy!”

The voices surged one after another, as if competing with the thunder!

Shentu’s eyes flashed with fierceness as he approached Zhou Qi respectfully and said, “My lord, it is time for the execution.”

When Zhou Qi heard this, he opened his eyes and stepped on the ground with his right foot, shaking the heaven and the earth!

The qilin beast, unable to restrain itself any longer, opened its blood-stained mouth and lunged towards Qin Jian’an in the void, intending to tear him apart!

Li Yang was extremely nervous and was unconsciously leaning forward.

Meanwhile, on the mountain ridge, Zhao Wenhao and Zhang Heng exchanged glances and decisively took action!

They turned into streams of light and flew towards the left and right sides of the pillar. Their crimson phoenix feathers fluttered in the wind, transforming into a pair of phoenix wings. When they converged, they turned into a fire phoenix, pressing fiercely on the shoulders of the qilin beast!

Roar!

The roar was deafening.

The sudden change stunned everyone present.

No one had expected Zhao Wenhao and Zhang Heng, the two Ghost Emperors, to intervene and stop the execution!

“What’s going on?”

Father Qin looked up slightly, his eyes filled with confusion. He didn’t remember having any significant relationship with these two.

Shentu was burning with anger and shouted, “Are you two out of your minds? How dare you defy the orders of the Ghost Lord!”

Zhou Qi looked at the two of them, but there was anger surging in his calm eyes: “I need an explanation.”

Zhao Wenhao showed no fear and replied calmly, “Lord Zhou, I still think it would be better to wait for the Ghost Lord to return and reconsider. Or perhaps, could you uncover your right sleeve and dispel some of my doubts?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them abruptly and said sternly, “Zhao Wenhao, the Ghost Emperor of the Western Region, and Zhang Heng, the Ghost Emperor of the Northern Region, have betrayed the Netherworld and must be executed!”

With a roar, endless Black Qi surged out from behind him, transforming into evil spirits and attacking the two.

Zhang Heng said solemnly, “I must be crazy to agree to your plan. How many years has it been since the old man showed his true power?”

“If you have the energy to talk nonsense, you might as well think about how to deal with what comes next.”

Both of them dared not delay. As fellow Ghost Emperors, no one understood better than them how terrifying the old man’s strength was.

If they didn’t take it seriously, they would have only one path to death!

So they immediately crazily mobilized the Netherworld Qi within their bodies, displaying powerful techniques to clash with the evil spirits formed by the Black Qi.

Boom!

The terrifying shockwave seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth.

Countless ghost soldiers and generals were sent flying, their screams echoing one after another.

When the fluctuations subsided, they looked back at the pillar.

The fire phoenix was still entangled with the qilin beast, while Zhao Wenhao and Zhang Heng, who were maintaining the fire phoenix while fending off Zhou Qi’s attacks, had visibly weakened.

Zhang Heng frowned, “This is not sustainable. When will the boy show up? If the old man strikes again, I won’t be able to hold on.”

Zhao Wenhao glanced towards the south and said, “Calculating the time, he should be almost here.”

But Zhou Qi wasn’t going to wait!

Before one move was completed, the next one followed immediately!

The Black Qi evil spirits once again lunged forward, and Zhao Wenhao and Zhang Heng struggled to resist. However, they both coughed up blood, and the fire phoenix gradually dissipated along with them.

Seizing this opportunity, the qilin beast retaliated, turning around and fiercely biting down, swallowing the head of the fire phoenix whole.

Then, with three bites and two gulps, and within a few moments, it swallowed the fire phoenix completely.

Without the suppression of the fire phoenix, the qilin beast once again turned its gaze towards Qin Jian’an, its eyes filled with unbridled killing intent.

Roar!

Its massive body pounced forward!

Qin Jian’an looked at the increasingly ferocious face in front of him and closed his eyes as if resigning himself to his fate.

Faced with death, he felt no fear, only a tinge of regret.

He had intended to share some of the burden in the Netherworld for the boy, but he didn’t expect to end up in this situation.

“Damn boy, live well even without my help.”

At that moment, the Qilin Beast suddenly let out a painful scream, staggered back, and crashed into the pillar, causing the earth and sky to tremble!

Qin Jian’an opened his eyes in surprise, and a familiar figure appeared before him.

“Dad, every time in the past, you saved me. This time, it’s my turn to save you.”

“Damn boy,” Qin Jian’an laughed and scolded, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
