"Netherworld Purple Orchid? This is currently a very rare item in the Netherworld. There used to be many Netherworld Purple Orchids, and most people could obtain them. Now, it’s a bit troublesome to get them. However, since you need them, we’ll try our best to get them for you. At present, we have no more than a dozen of them. If you don’t mind, you can take them for now!" said the Yang Family Patriarch.

"Very well, but there’s no rush. I’ll give you half a year to prepare. I hope you won’t disappoint me. Of course, I won’t treat you poorly either. It’s getting late now. Everyone go about your business! I’ll visit the City Lord’s Mansion tomorrow," said Chu Linfeng.

Then, Chu Linfeng and Xiao Qiang used instant teleportation to leave, leaving everyone with a look of astonishment on their faces. "Old Yang, do you think he really can let us go? I feel really embarrassed to be alive. My son was killed, and I have to submit to him. Just thinking about it makes me restless," said a family patriarch.

"Times have changed, and preserving our lives is the priority. If we die, what will happen to our families? Have you thought about that? A real man can adapt to circumstances, don’t dwell on minor issues," said the Yang Family Patriarch.

The few Honored Guest Elders who came with Jia Taibai also felt somewhat helpless. They were used to enjoying good food and clothes at the City Lord’s Mansion, but now that the City Lord was killed, they were helpless. Although the young man spared them, it seemed unlikely they could stay at the City Lord’s Mansion because the young man never spoke a word to them.

After returning, Chu Linfeng directly entered Lin Ruoxi’s room. The two women had awakened but had not yet gotten out of bed. Chu Linfeng’s exertions on them left them weak. Seeing him come in, they struggled to sit up.

Princess Yiyi could not hold back her anger first and said, "Linfeng, you better not touch me again. You have no compassion whatsoever. I hate you!"

"Who was it that kept asking me to go faster and harder? Who kept calling out? Who kept saying it felt good? You’re the one taking advantage and complaining. I’m exhausted, and you’re still complaining. Really infuriating," Chu Linfeng laughed.

Hearing this, Princess Yiyi nearly exploded with anger. Her face flushed hotly. Looking at Chu Linfeng, she didn’t know what to say. She vowed never to let him take advantage of her again. It was clearly him who benefited, yet he spoke against her. Too shameless.

"Hehe, Linfeng, spare Yiyi. We know you’re very vigorous, and naturally, we can’t satisfy you. Since we are your women, it’s our duty to serve you. We just hope you can be gentler next time and not leave us bedridden for half the day," Lin Ruoxi said.

"Who’d want a ’next time’ with him? Ruoxi, you may have agreed to it, but I haven’t. I won’t give this rascal the satisfaction!" Princess Yiyi said.

"Hehe, Yiyi, so you say. Don’t regret it later. I’ll spend some intimate time with Ruoxi now. You’d better close your eyes and ears. I don’t want you unable to bear it and need me to take care of you. It’ll depend on my mood then," Chu Linfeng said with a mischievous grin.

"You won’t succeed! Now, please leave. You’re not welcome here!" Princess Yiyi said.

"Looks like the Commandery Princess’s temper flares again. I have just the remedy for such women: either fight fire with fire or simply walk away. I’m pondering which method to choose. However, I think the latter is more reliable, avoiding much trouble," Chu Linfeng laughed.

Upon hearing this, Princess Yiyi was dumbstruck. She didn’t expect him to say such words, as if he didn’t care about her at all. Tears of grievance streamed down, and she cried in front of Chu Linfeng.

"Linfeng, enough! Can’t you see you’ve made Yiyi cry? Shouldn’t you comfort her? You know her temper well, and she’s changed a lot for you. Why fuss over this?" Lin Ruoxi said, feeling a bit uneasy.

"Hehe, I was just joking. Yiyi won’t really be angry. Anyway, let’s get back on track. Qingtian City is now under my control. It’s now the Ghost Race’s second Jiuyou City. In the future, I’ll make the Ghost Race the strongest race in the Netherworld," said Chu Linfeng.

Princess Yiyi stopped crying but looked at Chu Linfeng with skepticism, wondering if he was lying. However, Lin Ruoxi spoke, "Linfeng, were you out dealing with this? To gain control of Qingtian City, you must first deal with its City Lord, did you?"

"That’s right, Jia Taibai, the City Lord of Qingtian City, has been slain by me. Even the families with the strongest influence have submitted. Now Qingtian City is virtually mine. However, I will give the position to the Lord of Netherworld. I have no interest in being the City Lord," said Chu Linfeng.

Princess Yiyi couldn’t hold back and spoke, "Linfeng, did you really kill that City Lord of Qingtian City? He was said to be the strongest expert there, already at the Fifth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm. How is that possible?"

"Your man is truly formidable, whether it’s in bed or in his heaven-defying attack power against enemies. So, you better treat me well in the future. The temper of a young lady doesn’t work on me. The Ghost King and Beast King have also been slain by me. Naturally, Jia Taibai of Qingtian City won’t escape death either. Alright, you all rest for a bit, I’ll discuss the next steps with the Lord of Netherworld and come back to check on you later." Chu Linfeng finished speaking and directly exited the room.

Seeing Chu Linfeng arrive, the Lord of Netherworld was full of joy, "Lin Feng, you truly didn’t let me down. In such a short time, you’ve seized Qingtian City. It’s truly a great fortune for Yiyi to have met you."

"You’re too kind, father-in-law. It’s something I should do. Tomorrow we’ll go to the City Lord’s Mansion to announce to the world that the Ghost Race’s city officially becomes Qingtian City, and we’ll also prepare to take over the Beast Race and Ghost Race." Chu Linfeng said.

"Lin Feng, taking over the Beast Race and Ghost Race isn’t as simple as you might think. Each race has spies in the major cities. Now that the Ghost King, Beast King, and the City Lord of Qingtian City are dead, the Human Race and Nether Race surely know. They won’t allow my Ghost Race to grow. If I’m not mistaken, they are currently figuring out how to stop us or even reach the Ghost and Beast territories before us. If that’s the case, we might just be paving the way for them." the Lord of Netherworld said.

Chu Linfeng was immediately startled. If what the Lord of Netherworld said was true, it would be too uneconomical. He had risked his life to kill the Ghost King and Beast King, so whoever occupies those territories must be eliminated. He wasn’t one to pave the way for others.

"Rest assured, father-in-law. If things are as you say, then I’ll just eliminate them. The strength of the Human Race’s powerful experts and Netherworld Lord should be roughly the same, and I believe I have the confidence to kill them." Chu Linfeng said solemnly.

"This matter requires careful consideration. The scouts I’ve sent should be back soon. Let’s make plans once we have accurate information. I know your battle with Jia Taibai must have drained you a lot. Go recover a bit! Jia Taibai wasn’t easy to deal with; in terms of strength, he might have even surpassed me. This guy is very adept at hiding his capabilities. He has coveted my position as the Lord of Netherworld for a long time, and anyone who poses a threat to me is on my radar, so I’m well aware of him." the Lord of Netherworld said.

"Indeed, Jia Taibai’s strength is genuinely formidable, even stronger than the Ghost King and Beast King. Killing him was merely a fluke, and if he weren’t dead, I couldn’t guarantee I’d kill him again." Chu Linfeng said, as his Sword Spirit was too exhausted to assist him now.

Chu Linfeng then returned to Lin Ruoxi’s room. The two women had already gotten up but still felt utterly exhausted. Although Chu Linfeng had input mysterious mixed gas into them, it hadn’t been completely absorbed, which was the primary reason for the current situation.

"Lin Feng, my father must have been very surprised! Did he say anything?" Princess Yiyi couldn’t help but ask, seemingly having forgotten about the earlier unpleasantness, without mentioning a word of it.

"It was within his expectations. Now isn’t the time to talk. My battle with Jia Taibai drained me quite a bit and I need to recover. You two should also absorb the energy gas in your bodies, even if you can’t break through, at least you won’t be like this." Chu Linfeng said.

Regarding the depletion of Chaotic Dragon Power, if Chu Linfeng were to battle the two women once more, he would undoubtedly recover immediately. However, he knew that now was not the time, so he took out Star Stones and began to slowly absorb them while the two women, once ready, also started absorbing that mysterious energy gas.

As Chu Linfeng was almost recovered, he suddenly heard Sword Spirit’s voice in his mind: "Lin Feng, quickly merge your body into the earth. I sense someone using powerful Divine Sense to spy on you! Hurry!"

The urgency in Sword Spirit’s tone left Chu Linfeng unaware of the reason, but he complied, and with a thought, he immediately performed Earth Transformation, submerging himself into the earth.

After a while, Sword Spirit said: "That was really close, almost got discovered. We really shouldn’t use the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array again, or it will end up harming you."

"What’s going on here? You’ve confused me. Could it be your parents found you?" Chu Linfeng asked in amazement.

"That’s right, that powerful Divine Sense belongs to my father king. As a Soul Body, I have an especially strong perception of the outside world, and I’m naturally most familiar with my father’s Divine Sense. I noticed one of his Divine Senses scanning here just now, so I informed you.

Whenever I use the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, my father king has a certain sensing. I’m not sure why exactly. He told me once that if you encounter danger, just use the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, and he would know and come to save you. Fortunately, the execution of the array was rushed this time and didn’t attract him, which is what I was most worried about." Sword Spirit said apprehensively.

"This is the Netherworld after all. Even if your father king knew, he might not be able to breach this space, right, Sister Yue’Er? Are you overthinking it?" Chu Linfeng said.

"Breach this space? Lin Feng, my father king could obliterate the entire Netherworld with a flick of his finger. The power of the Immortal Emperor Realm is beyond your imagination. You’ll understand once you ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future." Sword Spirit said.
