Chen Hao picked up his phone, and a woman's anxious voice came through the receiver, "Chen Hao? This is Sister Luo Luo speaking., where are you now?"

Listening to Luo Luo's frantic gasps, Chen Hao quickly replied, "Sister Luo, I'm presently in Yuyang Town. What about you? Why are you in such a hurry? Has something happened?"

"I'm with your brother-in-law in Anyang Town," Luo Luo replied. "We're fine, but things have gone awry here in Anyang Town, with many Soul Corpses appearing and lots of people dead. We came to deal with those Soul Corpses, but we didn't expect some of them to be especially formidable, like they knew martial arts, and we couldn't handle them. And there's one that keeps spewing green corpse poison all over its body; we can't even get close!"

"Ah! Soul Corpses!" Chen Hao was shocked, "What's the situation now?"

"Anyang Town is completely chaotic now. The police and the military have been deployed but are unable to stop those Soul Corpses. Chen Hao, you must hurry to Anyang Town; only you can save everyone!"

"Alright, we'll drive there immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao briefly informed Tang Jing and Ye Yuqiao about the attack on Anyang Town by the Soul Corpses.

"If only we had gone straight to Anyang Town earlier!" Chen Hao said with great frustration on his face. "Yuqiao, Tang Jing, quickly pack up, I'll go call Xie Xiaofeng."

With that, Chen Hao left the two girls' room as swiftly as a fleeing shadow and arrived at the door of Xie Xiaofeng's room.

"Xie Xiaofeng, Xie Xiaofeng!" Chen Hao called out urgently as he knocked on the door.

Half a minute later, seeing no response from Xie Xiaofeng's door, he separated his Yin Soul from his body and passed into Xie Xiaofeng's room. He drifted to the bedside of Xie Xiaofeng and fiercly twisted his ear, saying, "Xie Xiaofeng, wake up!"

"Ah!" Xie Xiaofeng, abruptly awoken from his sleep, glowered at Chen Hao and complained, "Ouch, damn it, what are you doing in the middle of the night!"

"Xie Xiaofeng, get ready, we're setting off!" Chen Hao said with urgency, "I just got a call from Sister Luo, saying that Anyang Town has been attacked by a horde of terrifying Soul Corpses. They can't handle them and want us to rush over for support. Go wash your face and wake up, you'll have to drive fast in the night!"

"Soul Corpses!" The sleepiness in Xie Xiaofeng's eyes immediately gave way to keen alertness, "If even Sister Luo and her husband can't deal with them, could it be mutated Soul Corpses?"

"Ah! A dead person!" Just then, a scream came from outside the door.

Startled, Chen Hao instantly activated his Nether Vision in his left eye. He saw a female hotel attendant sitting on the ground outside, her face full of panic as she stared at his body lying in front of the door. She was trembling and her face was ashen, clearly thinking he had died.

"No time to talk, I'm off. Meet in five minutes downstairs." Chen Hao said.

With that, his Yin Soul left swiftly, passing through the door and returning directly to his body. At that moment, the female attendant's trembling left hand was slowly reaching towards his nose to check for breath. Just as her hand was about to touch the tip of Chen Hao's nose, he suddenly opened his eyes and smiled at her.

"Ah!" The attendant screamed again, tears involuntarily springing to her eyes.

Chen Hao sat up, gave the attendant an awkward, sheepish smile, then explained, "I was just waiting for my friend to open the door and I accidentally fell asleep."

Having said that, Chen Hao didn't wait to see how the attendant reacted, and instead returned to his own room to pack his belongings.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Hao and his group of four were all packed and seated in the Exorcism Special Vehicle, beginning their journey to Anyang Town.

Before long, Chen Hao pulled Ye Yuqiao into his embrace and whispered in her ear, "Yuqiao, take a nap for a bit. I'll wake you when we arrive at Anyang Town."

"Boyfriend, don't you think there's something odd about this incident?" Ye Yuqiao said with a frown, "Those Soul Corpses didn't appear a few days earlier or later, but specifically after we got those ledgers from the soul trade. It's clear they're targeting us. If we hadn't changed our minds just now, we would probably be in Anyang Town fighting those Soul Corpses right now."

"That's right, I was thinking the same thing. It's very possible those Soul Corpses were sent to eliminate us," Chen Hao said, "But what can we do? We can't just stand by and watch people die. These people are devils, more frightening than demons and evil spirits, resorting to any means to take us out, sacrificing so many innocent lives. When I get to D City, I will personally dismantle the headquarters of the Yin Yang Master Association."

Ye Yuqiao chuckled and pinched Chen Hao's cheek, saying, "Mm-hmm, I quite like the Chen Hao who detests evil, and I'll definitely help you tear down the building when the time comes. Boyfriend, you should close your eyes and rest for a bit too."

"No need," Chen Hao shook his head slightly, then kissed Ye Yuqiao's hair, "You sleep, girlfriend. I'll keep Xie Xiaofeng company; it would be too pitiable if all three of us slept. Besides, I'm afraid he might nod off if I don't talk to him."

...

Two hours and forty-five minutes later, the Exorcism Special Vehicle arrived at a rural road that was only two kilometers away from the town of Anyang.

On the road, Chen Hao saw many vehicles and pedestrians fleeing from Anyang Town, and also some kind-hearted drivers blocking the road ahead, warning Chen Hao and his companions about the haunting in Anyang Town and advising them not to go there.

Suddenly smelling the thick stench of corpses, Ye Yuqiao, who was leaning in Chen Hao's embrace, opened her eyes and looking up at Chen Hao, said, "Boyfriend, I smell a very strong odor of corpse gas."

Chen Hao nodded, his brows furrowed deeply, and he said sorrowfully, "I also feel a powerful inner strength. The Soul Corpses attacking Anyang Town are not ordinary Soul Corpses; they must be much more difficult to deal with than the Soul Corpses brought by the Corpse Driver Master half a year ago."

For a moment, the events from half a year ago in Y City with the Corpse Driver Master replayed vividly in Chen Hao's mind.

When the Exorcism Special Vehicle arrived at the entrance of Anyang Town, it was stopped by police who had set up a cordon at the road.

"There's been an incident in the town tonight, and entry is currently forbidden. For your own safety, you should turn around and leave this place immediately!" a policeman said, approaching the car window beside Xie Xiaofeng.

"Uncle Policeman, we know that there's a haunting in this town," Xie Xiaofeng said with a smile to the policeman, his face weary. After speaking, he pulled out an identification card from the side and handed it to the policeman, saying, "We are Onmyoji, dispatched here by our superiors to provide support."

The policeman, surprised, first scrutinized Xie Xiaofeng's work ID from his previous employment at the Y City Yin Yang Master Association, then his gaze swept over the four people inside the car, saying incredulously, "Are you all really Onmyoji? You all look so young."

"Of course! Uncle Policeman, how could we joke with our own lives? Please let us in quickly, don't delay us from saving people."

After thinking for a moment, the policeman returned the identification to Xie Xiaofeng and agreed to let the Exorcism Special Vehicle pass.

After the car entered the town, Chen Hao immediately contacted Luo Luo.

As soon as the call connected, Luo Luo's excited voice came through, "Chen Hao, have you arrived? We're hiding in the middle school in town, administering antidotes to those affected by the corpse poison. Hurry over, my husband is currently contending with a few Soul Corpses, and he can't hold out much longer."

"Hmm, I'll be there right away!"

After hanging up, Chen Hao immediately got the precise location of the town's middle school from the car's navigation and urgently said, "I'll go rescue Sister Luo and the others at the middle school first. You guys handle the other Soul Corpses. If you run into any trouble, Yuqiao, summon me right away. Remember, the three of you must not get separated!"

"Got it, jerk, you take care too!" Tang Jing looked back and said to Chen Hao.

After embracing Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao pulled open the car door and leaped into the night sky.

By the time he landed, he was already on the sports field of Anyang Town's middle school.

"Sister Luo, Brother-in-law, it's Chen Hao. I'm here; where are you guys?" Chen Hao shouted as he looked around.

"Chen Hao," Luo Luo's excited voice came from the cafeteria next to the sports ground, "Sis is here. Your brother-in-law just lured three Soul Corpses to the teaching building behind you."

"Alright, sis, I'll go help brother-in-law first!" Chen Hao shouted in response.

Two seconds later, his voice still echoed across the sports field, while he had already reached the third-floor corridor of the teaching building. Following the scent of corpses, he quickly found Zhang Chuiping and the three Soul Corpses. At that moment, Zhang Chuiping was hiding inside a classroom, with Yellow Talismans plastered all over the classroom door and windows to temporarily prevent the Soul Corpses from getting close.

With a "bang," one of the Soul Corpses carried a chair from the next classroom over and smashed the glass of a window.

Just as the three Soul Corpses were preparing to climb through the window into the classroom, a sudden fierce gust of Sword Qi struck them, severing their legs.

"Ugh ah!" The three Soul Corpses fell to the ground, emitting strange, hoarse voices, extremely unpleasant to the ear, and the blood flowing from their bodies was green, emitting white toxic smoke.

"Ah!" Zhang Chuiping's face lit up with joy, "Chen Hao, you finally came!"

Chen Hao smiled at Zhang Chuiping. Seeing the three Soul Corpses attempting to reattach their severed legs, he quickly ran in front of the Soul Corpses and tossed their legs up to a higher floor.

"Ah! Ah!" The three Soul Corpses let out angry, hoarse screeches at Chen Hao. Then they rapidly scaled the railing of the corridor and jumped down.

Chen Hao stepped closer to the railing and peered down, directly shooting a jet of black and purple Nether Fire from his left eye at the three Soul Corpses suspended in mid-air, turning them to ash.

After clearing the three Soul Corpses, Chen Hao said to Zhang Chuiping, "Brother-in-law, they are taken care of."

"Chen Hao, it was lucky you arrived in time; otherwise," Zhang Chuiping said, but then his face suddenly shifted to fear, "Chen Hao, what happened to your left eye?"

At that moment, a purple crack suddenly appeared over Chen Hao's left eye, and in the blink of an eye, the crack widened, tearing open the left side of Chen Hao's face.

"Boyfriend, we've run into trouble," Ye Yuqiao called out to Chen Hao.
