My Wife is A Sword God

“How could you possibly come here?” Heavenly Eye was both shocked and furious. 

The Ghost Lord glanced at Zhou Qi, who had already transformed into an eerie creature, closed her eyes slightly, and then spoke, “You influenced Zhou Qi to break a corner of the Negate Bridge seal, forcing me to enter the bridge to repair the seal. But did you think I wouldn’t notice? It’s nothing but a ploy to lure all of you out into the open.”

“Even if you know, so what? Once you leave the bridge, the seal will inevitably break. Aren’t you afraid that my millions of kin will invade the Netherworld Realm?”

“Since I know, how could I not have a contingency plan?” The Ghost Lord’s tone was icy. 

Heavenly Eye was confused, but then his eyes merged into one huge eye, hovering above his head, scanning thousands of miles and looking towards the bridge.

He saw a woman continuously transmitting Netherworld Qi in a bone token embedded in the seal.

The woman was none other than Meng Shuang, who had rushed to the bridge to deliver the Ghost Lord’s token after exposing Zhou Qi’s true face. With the Ghost Lord’s token guarding the bridge, the millions of eerie creatures couldn’t cross the Negate Bridge.

A fierce expression flashed in Heavenly Eye’s blood pupils. Qin Feng was supposed to die, but such a change occurred. If it were during its peak, it wouldn’t have feared the Ghost Lord.

However, having suffered successive heavy blows earlier, its current strength was less than a tenth of its peak… With the Ghost Lord guarding Qin Feng, it was wishful thinking to try to kill him again.

And a slight mistake might lead to being sealed once again by the Ghost Lord by some means. After much consideration, it seemed that the only way was to escape into the void.

But as he looked at the unconscious Qin Feng, his blood pupils were filled with killing intent, unwillingness, and anger. Since his consciousness was born, when has he been so powerless?

Moreover, the last strand of Primordial Qi in the Three Realms was right in front of him. 

Did he really want to give up? Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly felt a tremor in space. Looking up, he saw the Ghost Lord’s black hair hanging upside down, and the Netherworld Qi wrapping around her, causing the space to distort. 

“Heavenly Eye, I could seal you away a thousand years ago, and I can do it again a thousand years later.” As she spoke, a palm-sized white bone cage appeared out of thin air in the Ghost Lord’s hand.

The formidable power it emitted turned out to be an ancient Chaotic Primordial Treasure! 

Heavenly Eye struggled even more fiercely; he had been planning for thousands of years, waiting for the balance of life and death in the Netherworld Realm to overturn before exposing Zhou Qi, and escaping to heaven.

If he were to be sealed again, wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain? In the moment of hesitation, the Ghost Lord had already thrown out the bone cage, which expanded in the wind.

The huge suction force, like a black hole, continuously pulled Heavenly Eye’s body. Even though he exerted the power of spatial Dao, he couldn’t resist this powerful suction force.

Seeing the bone cage getting closer and closer to him, the people of the Netherworld Realm were all on edge. After all, as long as Heavenly Eye was dealt with, what fear did they have with the Ghost Lord leading them?

But who would have thought that, at this moment, a crack appeared in the sky above the Netherworld, and the virtual image of the Heavens Eye appeared.

In his huge pupil, a black light shot out and landed on the bone cage. The suction force disappeared, and the bone cage once again shrank to palm size, returning to the Ghost Lord’s hand.

Heavens Eye spoke, his voice like a bell, “The objective has been achieved. Return to the void.” With these words, the space next to Heavenly Eye distorted, and a huge door with runes manifested.

He glanced at Qin Feng and the others one last time, but eventually did not linger any longer and stepped into the door.

“Ghost Lord.” Zhao Wenhao and the other ghost generals flew to her side, wanting to say something but stopping themselves. The Ghost Lord waved her hand, regretful that she couldn’t seal Heavenly Eye again. The next time they returned, who knew what kind of disaster it would bring.

But now was not the time to dwell on this matter; she had more important things to do.

“Ghost Emperor Zhao Wenhao, lead the ghost army to exterminate the immortal monsters here.”

“Ghost Emperor Zhang Heng, follow me to the Negate Bridge to exterminate the creatures outside the bridge.”

“Ghost Emperor Shentu, withdraw all the people who have invaded the broken realm.”

“Any objections?!”

“We obey the command of the Ghost Lord!” 

Shentu was guilty, but now was not the time for punishment. The eerie creatures, whose immortal abilities had been affected by Qin Feng’s previous efforts, presented a perfect opportunity for annihilation.

Moreover, maintaining good relations with the broken realm was crucial to prepare for future crises. With the orders given, the entire Netherworld Realm prepared for battle and swiftly acted.

Only Father Qin and the others took Qin Feng to a safe place to wait for him to wake up…

Turning to the human realm in the southern region, Jinyang City.

The battlefield was ablaze with activity. The people of the Netherworld Realm were not weak, and with the help of the Plucking Stars and Seizing Life Divine Ability, they fought relentlessly, fearing neither death nor exhaustion.

On the human side, the people united their efforts, managing to contain the warfare within a hundred miles.

Corpses, blood, and smoke filled the air, leaving the land in ruins. This battle could have been avoided, but Shentu’s stubbornness and Zhou Qi’s manipulation had escalated the conflict.

Both sides suffered heavy losses but refused to retreat. However, just as the war reached its climax, the commander overseeing the battle for the Netherworld Realm seemed to receive some orders, and his expression became uncertain.

Cai Yulei seemed to confirm something, finally believing the order to retreat. He looked towards the battlefield, gritted his teeth, and roared loudly, his voice like a bell.

“Retreat!” The army withdrew like a tide. The people on the human side were stunned. . They fought for several days and nights, but this was the final result? 

Was this battle considered a victory or a defeat? Why did the people of the Netherworld Realm suddenly retreat? Everything was unpredictable. If it weren’t for the Gate of Hell still connecting the two realms, everyone would have thought it was just a ridiculous dream!

Sword Ghost said solemnly, “Something’s not right.” 

Nan Tianlong furrowed his brows slightly but then relaxed, “Whatever the reason, the war is finally over.”

On the front lines, soldiers hurriedly delivered the battle reports through relay stations, passing them from one person to another without stopping.

The news of the southern battle finally reached the Imperial City in the shortest time possible.

“Good news from the front line, the ghost army has been defeated and is retreating in large numbers!” 

Upon hearing this, the civil and military officials in the imperial palace breathed a sigh of relief.

The Great Qian was currently in a precarious state, and if invaded by the Netherworld Realm, it would be on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, everything had come to an end.

However, those who understood the situation still had doubts. Why did the Netherworld Realm go to such lengths to invade, only to end up retreating?

In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, Emperor Ming looked at the memorial in his hand, his fatigue disappearing from his eyes.

“Send word to inform the National Teacher about this matter.” He, too, was puzzled by the sudden retreat of the Netherworld Realm.

At the Grand Literature Academy, atop the Heavenly Tower, a group of senior brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief.

“Junior brother has succeeded.” 

The National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower smiled as he looked into the distance, knowing that the boy never disappointed him.

But after a faint smile, he looked up at the sky again. Storms always came one after another.

This time, they had only gained a respite, and a greater danger was about to come.

“Since they have obtained what they wanted, their invasion into this realm will not be too far off.” The white-haired old man sighed and looked towards the direction of the Ninefold Prison.

Beside the Ninefold River, the white-haired and black-bearded old man was still fishing, but he suddenly felt something and furrowed his brows.

It seemed like a hurricane was blowing through, and the river was making waves, but it quickly calmed down. At the same time, at the bottom of Ninefold Prison, a pair of eyes opened. 

“Heh.” The voice was soft and inaudible.
