My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 684: The Beginning of a New Era

“A ghost has passed through the gate of hell, crossed the Yellow Spring Road, and entered the human realm through a crack.”

It was Senior Li Yang’s voice… Qin Feng looked at the tombstone and felt surprised.

“The ghost is named Huo Yan, a subordinate of the Eastern Ghost Emperor. His strength is astonishing and he is also a famous figure in the Netherworld world.”

“Although his strength is not equal to that of the Twelve Divine Generals, he can still easily handle third-tier experts.”

“His location in the human realm should be near Jinyang City. Old man Baili, hurry up and stop him, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!” 

Qin Feng listened with a slightly raised eyebrow. Although the other party had said a lot, it felt like just a moment to him, as if those words were projected directly into his mind.

He turned his head and looked at the old man Baili, who then explained, “During the disaster in the Western Region, ever since Mao Yin opened the rift to the Netherworld Realm, Li Yang has been able to transmit information about the Netherworld Realm to this world through this stone tablet.”

“Unfortunately, due to the separation of Yin and Yang, our words cannot reach his ears. 

Let’s listen to what he has to say…”

Then Li Yang went on to describe the current situation in the Netherworld Realm.

After the awakening of the Ghost Lord, he intends to unite the forces of the Netherworld Ghost Realm to fight the terrifying presence and reorganize the laws of the Ghost Realm.

Among them, the four Ghost Emperors were undoubtedly the strongest.

However, after thousands of years have passed, the Netherworld Ghost Realm has undergone tremendous changes. In addition the young Ghost Lord has just awakened, his strength is far from what it once was. How can he command the respect of everyone?

Amidst the chaos, a new Ghost Emperor appeared. The current Netherworld no longer spoke of the Four Ghost Emperors, but of the Five Ghost Emperors!

Naturally, the situation in the Netherworld was more chaotic than ever!

After thousands of years of fighting the terrifying existence, the Ghost Emperors were exhausted. Moreover, with the opening of the rift between the Netherworld and the human realm, some of them began to have different thoughts.

The Five Ghost Emperors split into two factions: one faction wanted to eradicate the terrifying entities in the Netherworld with the Ghost Lord, while the other faction decided to go through the gates of the hell, follow the path of the Yellow Springs, and enter the human realm, abandoning the Netherworld!

The Eastern Ghost Emperor belonged to the latter faction!

Qin Feng’s eyebrows furrowed at this revelation.

With the death of the Candle Dragon and the return of divinity to Heaven and Earth, the rift between the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld had opened, allowing the Primordial Immortal Qi, the Ancient Divine Breath, and the Netherworld Qi to descend.

The legacy of the human race now had the capital to enter higher realms, but risks and opportunities always coexisted.

This world would face greater trials and stronger enemies!

Just like today, when the ghost Huo Yan was able to pass through the gates of the hell and traverse the path of the Yellow Springs, the other ghosts would surely follow suit.

And there were even more powerful Five Ghost Emperors, as well as the terrifying existence that both the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld Ghost Emperors feared…

Qin Feng only felt that the world today seems to be walking on thin ice. 

He shook his head slightly and let out a breath. When faced with difficulties, there would always be solutions. Even if he worried, it would be useless.

He turned around and asked, “Master, could the Ghost General Huo Yan mentioned by Senior Li Yang be the formidable fellow we just encountered, standing two zhang tall with a fierce and malevolent aura?”

Old Man Baili pondered for a moment before replying, “I just sensed the surroundings. There are no other fluctuations, so I think it’s him.” 

“This guy doesn’t seem as formidable as Senior Li Yang described,” Qin Feng muttered. After all, he had easily defeated the opponent with a single thunderbolt…

“Thunder is inherently strong and is the Yang nature, and naturally restrains Yin creatures like ghosts. Besides, since you’ve reached the third rank and can control the Ancient Divine Thunder, The Annihilation Thunder, this guy wouldn’t stand a chance against you,” Old Baili explained.

Just as the two of them were talking, a surprised voice emanated from the stone tablet, “Qin Feng? Are you speaking?”

Qin Feng looked at Old Man Baili in astonishment, “Master, didn’t you say that the Ghost Realm couldn’t hear our voices? What is going on here?”

Old Man Baili narrowed his eyes slightly, and it took him a while to realize, “No, he can only hear your voice, not mine…”

After a brief moment of contemplation, the old man came to a conclusion, “Could it be that the divinity of the Candle Dragon has merged with you, allowing you to be influenced by the principles of Yin and Yang, thus enabling you to transmit messages to this side of the world? If so, it’s a pleasant surprise. Communicating with the Netherworld world would give us more information. Qin Feng, you might as well try it!”

Qin Feng nodded and then addressed the stone tablet, “Senior Li Yang, can you hear my voice?”

“I can!”

Indeed, it was true!

Qin Feng and Old Man Baili looked at each other with joy on their faces. 

Then they heard Li Yang say, “My time is limited, Qin Feng, please listen carefully.”

“Some time ago, the Netherworld was flooded, and many more rifts have appeared between the Netherworld and the human world. Even though we, under the control of the Ghost Lord, have intercepted most of the ghost, some will inevitably slip through the cracks, just like today’s Ghost General.”

“In the coming days, there will certainly be others who will cross the Yellow Spring River and enter the human realm,”

“But don’t worry too much. The Ghost Lord has used his power to make it difficult for beings above the Ghost Generals to pass through the gate of hell.”

“And the Central Ghost Emperor has also used powerful means to block all the connecting points of the rifts near Jinyang City. As long as you take precautions beforehand, you can avert disaster.”

“Now there is chaos in the Netherworld. Even if I want to ask the Ghost Lord to help you, I am powerless.” 

“You must be extra careful on your own.”

As the words fell, there was no sound from the stone tablet.

Old Man Baili rubbed his chin thoughtfully, “This is actually good news.”

Qin Feng asked curiously, “Master, how can Netherworld beings entering the human realm be considered good news?”

“Beings from the Immortal Realm and the Netherworld descending to our realm is inevitable. Do you think the seal over our heads can last forever?”

“This place happens to be a battleground where humans can prepare in advance to face the enemies from another realm. Use this opportunity to sharpen yourself.”

Qin Feng understood immediately.

To go against the tide is to fall behind. What this realm needs now is to forge ahead with courage, not to sit idly by and wait for doom!

“I will report this matter back to Imperial City. Emperor Ming must have made his own decision.” 

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside of Jinyang City, Qin An solemnly said, “Brother, are you really not returning to the Imperial City with me?”

“By the order of our teacher, I will stay here and guard the city for half a year. Firstly, it’s to improve my own skills, and secondly, it’s also a way to mourn our father. As for the Qin family, I’ll leave it up to you. Especially since the Second Mother needs your protection right now.”

“Brother, I’m not good with words. What if my presence by Mother’s side only reminds her of sad memories? What am I supposed to do? Why don’t I take your place to mourn forFather here? You can go back and support the Qin family?”

Qin Feng looked at Qin An and shook his head. “It’s not appropriate.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m also afraid of causing the Second Mother more grief. But since none of her sons have returned, it’s not right in any way, emotionally or logically.”

Thinking about this, Qin Feng said seriously, “Because, brother, I am stronger than you. If you can confidently enter the third tier realm and surpass me, then we can consider changing roles.”

Upon hearing this, Qin An’s expression stiffened. He couldn’t argue with this reason and could only leave dejectedly.

As night fell, the forest outside Jinyang City suddenly trembled.

A sinister laugh echoed from the eerie green flames, sending a chill down one’s spine.

Standing on the roof of the mansion, Qin Feng gazed into the distance. Then, with a wave of his right hand, a red bolt of lightning struck down.

The night returned to silence…
