There was only a loud bang, as deafening as thunder, echoing throughout the entire Tianzhou City.

The ghosts' faces turned pale in an instant, and their fear was beyond words.

An incomparably powerful pressure came overwhelmingly, as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to bear.

They fell to their knees, their bodies trembling, their eyes wide open, faces filled with a mixture of disbelief and fear.

"This...what is going on?!" one of the ghosts asked in a trembling voice.

"It is...it is the power of the Hades!"

At this moment, a ghost suddenly pointed upwards and screamed, "Look up there, what is that?!"

The ghosts looked up and saw a huge door slowly opening, emitting a deep and mysterious light.

"It's the gate to the underworld!" Someone shouted, and this answer immediately caused an uproar among the ghosts.

The legendary gate to the underworld actually appeared!

At this tense moment, Wo Shuo shouted loudly, "The gate to the underworld is wide open. It must be the return of the Lord of the Underworld!"

After saying this, he lifted his robe without hesitation and knelt on the ground respectfully.

At the same time, the soldiers led by the Red Spirit King also knelt down in unison upon seeing this. Everyone seemed extremely excited and shouted in unison: "We welcome the return of the Underworld Emperor!"

Their shouts resounded through the sky and echoed in Tianzhou City for a long time.

Ao Xian and other underworld generals were still immersed in extreme shock and had not yet recovered.

It was not until they saw the ghost soldiers behind them kneeling down and saluting that they woke up from their dream and quickly knelt down as well.

"We respectfully welcome the return of the Hades Emperor!"

This slogan rang out again, with each wave louder than the last.

At this moment, a figure came out from the gate of the underworld.

The ghosts were stunned.

The girl was dressed in purple, with a fox-shaped purple hairpin in her hair. Her long hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and her cold and beautiful face revealed a majesty that could not be ignored.

She stepped into the void and looked down.

Just one glance made the ghosts present shudder and quickly lower their heads, fearing that they would offend her.

Her voice was chilling to the bone.

"Why such a big fuss?"

Ao Xian and other Hades generals only felt an invisible pressure coming, as if it was going to tear their souls apart. Their faces were pale, cold sweats were pouring out, and their whole bodies were shaking uncontrollably. They didn't dare to speak at all.

The appearance of Chen Yan resolved the turmoil.

But in fact, they did a lot of things behind the scenes.

Now Chen Yan's strength has not yet recovered, so he can only borrow the power of the Underworld Emperor in the Emperor's Order to establish his authority.

Only in this way can her status and position be consolidated and peace restored to the underworld.

…

After today, the underworld once again welcomed its master - the Underworld Emperor.

From then on, the underworld gradually returned to peace.

All the soldiers under the Second King became Chen Yan's subordinates.

Chen Yan knew Hong Ling's physical condition clearly, so half a month later, he took Qi Yan and several Hades generals to the forbidden land of the underworld to get the Yuqing Holy Water for Hong Ling.

After going through many hardships, Chen Yan and his group finally came out of the forbidden land of the underworld after more than two months.

At the same time, Chen Yan also successfully obtained the Yuqing Holy Water.

Hong Ling took the Jade Purity Holy Water and went into seclusion to cultivate, because only by breaking through her cultivation level could she extend her life.

After Chen Yan returned to Tianzhou City in the spiritual realm, she met Feng Xingyao.

Feng Xingyao told her about 'Chen Ce' and 'Black Water'.

Shen Ce didn't die, but he escaped without a trace.

The backer behind Shen Ce seems to be related to the mastermind behind the provision of "black water". As for this mastermind, Feng Xingyao has not yet found out his/her true identity.

Feng Xingyao looked at her slightly haggard face, feeling a little depressed, and said distressedly: "Ayan, are you very tired?"

Chen Yan looked up at him.

"I'm a little tired. I want to take a nap."

"You sleep, I'll watch over you."

Chen Yan pursed her lips and smiled, then she lay down on the bed.

After a while, her breathing became steady.

Feng Xingyao sat at the head of her bed, accompanying her silently.

He lowered his eyes to look at the girl on the bed, his gaze darkening a little.

In just a few years, she has become the master of the Changming Realm and now the master of the Underworld. Her growth rate is too fast.

The faster she goes, the more effort and hardship she has to put in.

He raised his hand and gently stroked her frown, then smoothed it out little by little.

Finally, he leaned over and placed a devout kiss on her brow.

"Good night, Ayan."

…

…

…

More than three years later.

Upper realm.

In a small border town, in the corner of a tavern, a girl in purple clothes sat alone. Her aloof temperament attracted many people's attention. She was wearing half a silver mask on her face. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

At a table not far from her, several practitioners were drinking and chatting about a major event that had happened recently.

"Hey, do you know? The disciples of the Judgment Clan have suffered heavy casualties recently!" One of them said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, another person quickly came over and asked, "Is this true? How could this happen? Who is so bold as to attack the Judgment Clan?"

The man who spoke first shook his head, indicating that he had no idea. "How would I know who did it? However, I did hear from others that the person who did it was a powerful sound attack master. It is said that he can instantly kill a large number of enemies just by playing the harp in his hand!"

"By the way, what is the identity of this sound attacker? How could he cause the Judgement Clan to constantly send people to hunt him down?"

"Anyone who is hunted down by the Judgment Clan must be no good."

The Judgment Clan, as the name suggests, is a clan of judges.

The Judgment Clan is fair and just, and is considered a breath of fresh air in this upper realm.

Anyone or any force targeted by the Judgment Clan may eventually be killed.

There are thirteen great emperors in the upper realm.

Among them, the Judgment Clan relies on a great emperor from one of their lineages, and that emperor is also known as the Judge Emperor.

"It hasn't been peaceful in recent years."

"That's right, several emperors died inexplicably."

"Hahahaha, the old must go before the new can come."

"Shh! Do you want to die? How dare you talk like that!" One person's face changed drastically and he looked around nervously.

Afterwards, these practitioners became much more restrained in their speech.

At this time, several young cultivators with extraordinary demeanor came into the tavern. They were all wearing white robes with the word "Judgment" embroidered on their chests.

The faces of the few practitioners who were chatting just now changed drastically when they saw this. They looked at each other secretly and said nothing more.

The girl wearing half a silver mask slowly raised her head and glanced at the young practitioners with cold eyes.

One of the handsome young men happened to meet her eyes, and after she looked away, he was still a little dazed.
