Chapter 126: The Death of Young Master Wuji

Sensing this, the Young Master Wuji’s face contorted into a hideous mask. He roared, "You cannot kill me! My father is the Nether King, and I am the son of the Nether King. If you dare to kill me, my father will never let you off!"

Jiang Xiaofei remained unmoved. His eyes grew cold and sharp, a murderous intent surging within them.

Seeing his threats were in vain, Young Master Wuji, driven by the shadow of death, finally knelt and begged for mercy. "Please, spare me! I don't want to die! If you spare me, we can talk about anything. I will even submit to you!"

"Unfortunately, it is too late. Die!" Jiang Xiaofei’s eyes darkened. As his words fell, Young Master Wuji was reduced to ashes under the burning of the Phoenix True Fire. A final sentence echoed out at the very moment his soul was extinguished.

"King Fei, even if I die, don't dream of taking the throne of the Underworld. Just wait for the Netherworld's insane revenge!"

Jiang Xiaofei frowned and shattered the last lingering obsession of Young Master Wuji with a wave of his hand.

That scene left the various factions in shock. That was the Second Prince of the Netherworld! Just like that, he had been wiped out of existence. Was King Fei not afraid of bringing disaster upon himself?

"Boy, you dare kill our young master! You are courting death!" Suddenly, a cold shout rang out.

At the sound of that voice, all the factions looked over in unison. Two elders from the Wuji Gate were seen soaring into the air, charging toward Jiang Xiaofei.

As the two elders attacked, Jiang Xiaofei frowned and said coldly, "Are you two here to throw your lives away as well?"

One of the elders sneered, "No matter who you are, since you dared to kill our young master, you are doomed."

"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Xiaofei frowned upon hearing this. He moved his hand, and a Phoenix Domain instantly manifested, enveloping the elder.

The other elder, seeing this, fled in terror, only to be blocked by the Corpse King.

The elder’s expression turned grim. He hurriedly channeled the Nether power within his body to attack the Corpse King. The momentum that erupted stunned all the factions; he was an expert at the peak of the Dao Extremity Realm.

Yet the Corpse King was unstoppable. Every strike carried the weight of a collapsing mountain, immediately suppressing the elder!

Inside the Phoenix Domain, the other elder also unleashed the power of a peak Dao Extremity Realm expert to attack the barrier. But the Phoenix Domain was as solid as a fortress—how could he break it? Soon, under the burning of the Phoenix True Fire, the elder was reduced to ashes.

The Corpse King also exerted his full strength, slaying the second elder.

This scene left the various factions trembling with fear. With King Fei and the Corpse King, the Ghost Abyss Prefecture was no longer a force they could shake, and the Prefecture would surely rule the entire Underworld.

Seeing the various factions leaning toward the Ghost Abyss Prefecture, Yang Guang was furious. Yet he knew the tide had turned; his Heavenly Ghost City could no longer influence the situation. His only option now was to preserve his strength for another day, lest his entire army be wiped out. He ordered, "Heavenly Ghost Army, hear my command! Retreat to Heavenly Ghost City!"

"Yes!" At Yang Guang's command, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Heavenly Ghost Army fled toward Heavenly Ghost City.

"All troops, hear my order! Slaughter the Heavenly Ghost Army!"

However, at that moment, Jun Yao gave the order, and the thousands of Ghost Abyss troops charged at the Heavenly Ghost Army.

The scene was horrific, making the skin of onlookers crawl. Under the frantic pursuit of the Ghost Abyss forces, the Heavenly Ghost Army retreated in defeat, collapsing into disarray.

In particular, Su Muhe and Meng Feixue, who led the Ghost Abyss army, were unstoppable, cutting down countless ghost soldiers and commanders.

Jiang Xiaofei then made his move. He flashed through the air, appearing above the Heavenly Ghost Army like a dark abyss. His aura was as sharp as the void, immediately drawing the gaze of all factions.

The Ghost Abyss army ceased their slaughter, staring up at Jiang Xiaofei. They discovered that as he appeared on the battlefield, the Heavenly Ghost Army acted as if they had lost their souls, turning back. Even more strangely, the soldiers began to kneel before Jiang Xiaofei as if worshiping a monarch, some even crying out for death.

This bizarre sight left the various factions in shock and disbelief. Even in surrender, how could they be like this?

The Corpse King was also astonished, sensing a strange incantation on Jiang Xiaofei. It seemed to be a spell capable of controlling the mind, and it was this spell that forced the ten thousand ghosts to submit.

Only Jun Yao knew that Jiang Xiaofei had used the Ten Thousand Ghost Pilgrimage Mantra; otherwise, such a sight would never have occurred.

Looking down at the ten thousand ghosts kneeling at his feet, Jiang Xiaofei was surprised by how tyrannical the mantra was. To make one's enemies submit without a fight was truly a heaven-defying technique.

He could feel that their lives were held within his every thought. This sensation of controlling their existence gave him the feeling of being a master of all living beings.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Ghost Pilgrimage Mantra could devour the souls of others to bolster his own cultivation.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaofei was filled with excitement. He inhaled deeply, and like a devouring abyss, he generated a terrifying suction force that engulfed the Heavenly Ghost Army.

Under this terrifying power, the tens of thousands of Heavenly Ghost soldiers were lifted into the air and devoured by Jiang Xiaofei in a whale-like gulp.

After consuming the army, Jiang Xiaofei discovered that he had leaped from the Profound Heaven Realm to the peak of the Transformation Heaven Realm. He was overjoyed, marveling at the terror of the mantra. If just this one feast brought him to the Transformation Heaven Realm, wouldn't more consumption lead him to the Dao Extremity Realm?

When the various factions saw Jiang Xiaofei devour the hundred-thousand-strong army, they were horrified. Such a method of consuming ghosts was unheard of. At that moment, Jiang Xiaofei resembled a devil who ate ghosts, making the atmosphere suffocating.

The Ghost Abyss army was also startled, their eyes filled with fear. Although King Fei was their leader, such a method of devouring ghosts was too terrifying.

Yang Guang was petrified. He had felt a strange power invading his consciousness earlier, and only by guarding his mind had he avoided being ensnared. Even so, he remained deeply shaken.

In his panic, he fled toward Heavenly Ghost City.

Jiang Xiaofei, however, would not give him the chance. With a wave of his hand, a mighty force descended, instantly obliterating Yang Guang.

The sight left the various factions trembling. Jiang Xiaofei now stood like a mountain pressing down upon their hearts, filling them with dread. After all, if even Heavenly Ghost City had fallen, they were likely next.

Sensing the fearful gazes of the various factions, Jiang Xiaofei smiled. "There is no need for tension. I am a man of principle and will not trouble you without cause. However, if any of you dare to harbor ulterior motives, the fate of Heavenly Ghost City shall be yours. But if you submit to my Ghost Abyss Prefecture, I guarantee you will enjoy endless glory and riches."

The various factions remained silent. Although they had anticipated this, they were accustomed to their independence. How could they simply hand over the power they had spent years building to be ruled by another?

Yet, to refuse would mean facing the suppression of the Ghost Abyss Prefecture, leaving them in a difficult dilemma.
