Glancing sidelong as Chen Hao left with Ye Yuqiao, the King, despite his anxiety, was helpless. What's more, at the moment, he was more worried about the Blood Moon Evil Subduing Sword pressing against his back.

Five minutes had passed.

The crowd below had not dispersed; instead, more and more people were flocking to the scene. Everyone knew that the King was inside that strange black shadow and were deeply concerned for his well-being.

The more people gathered, and the greater the sounds of concern arose from below, the more ashamed the King felt. At that moment, he even felt some gratitude for the dark Nether King's Power swallowing him.

It was his fig leaf. He had made his preparations, ready for the moment the constraint of the Nether King's Power was lifted from him, he would disappear from this place at once. On one hand, he did not want the public to see such an embarrassing and disheveled side of him; on the other hand, he still wanted to pursue Ye Yuqiao and bring her back.

Although he knew his chances were very slim, he just didn't want to miss any opportunity.

Ye Yuqiao was the most suitable candidate to be his queen, afraid he would never again encounter someone better than her.

Yet, another ten minutes had passed. Suddenly, the Blood Moon Evil Subduing Sword emitted two clear tones before piercing through the King's back.

Feeling a sharp, bone-chilling pain surge suddenly, the King let out a tear-wrenching scream, his eyes wide open.

He had not expected Chen Hao to be so ruthless. Until the Blood Moon Evil Subduing Sword had not pierced his back, he believed that Chen Hao would not drive the sword to stab him. Yet, he was wrong again.

He was full of regret and discontent. It seemed that since the appearance of Chen Hao, nothing had gone his way, he had lost every time: he could not make Chen Hao linger in Rainbow Paradise like others, he could not take advantage of knowing Chen Hao's desires to strike and control him, nor could he snatch Ye Yuqiao from Chen Hao's hands. Even though he had done everything perfectly well and without flaws.

But from beginning to end, Chen Hao was impregnable, and he, in an intangible way, suffered a thorough defeat.

"Ugh!" Once again, he let out a harrowing scream.

The Blood Moon Evil Subduing Sword had left his body.

Then he heard a sound of panic and worry from the crowd below, and subsequently, silence fell. His dignity, with the arrival of silence, had been utterly lost.

However, it was not over yet.

When he came to his senses, the sound of the Blood Moon Evil Subduing Sword was already far away toward the west—at the exit of the hidden Rainbow Paradise.

At this moment, had Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao already reached that exit, the King wondered. He clenched his teeth and was extremely anxious because he discovered that the blood inside his body was losing warmth, freezing.

His entire body was stiff.

Just then, the Nether King's Power binding him withdrew, swiftly heading west, and thus, exposed him in his deplorable state in front of nearly thirty thousand of his subjects.

"King! King!" He heard the sorrowful voices of his people.

The people were sympathizing with him, pitying him, which he found intolerable.

But there was nothing he could do, except let his body fall from the sky, and accept the fact that Ye Yuqiao was leaving Rainbow Paradise.

"Chen Hao!" He hated Chen Hao to the core, feeling that everything he had was ruined by him.

"Ahh!" Seeing the King plummeting from the sky at high speed, the crowd below let out a panicked scream.

At last, just before the King's body hit the ground, a broad-shouldered guard leapt into the air and caught him.

The King had intended to instruct the guards to stop Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao from leaving. Only he and a few others knew about that secret exit in the entire Rainbow Paradise, but before he could speak, he lost consciousness and fainted.

At this very moment.

Chen Hao had already carried Ye Yuqiao to the edge of the Rainbow Paradise on the west side—the Cloud Sea.

The so-called Cloud Sea, as the name suggests, is a sea formed by clouds. Although the entire Rainbow Paradise is built upon clouds, nowhere are the clouds as soft as those in the Cloud Sea. Stepping on them feels like stepping into nothingness, and one could fall down into the moisture-laden and chilly layers of clouds below.

Furthermore, since it's called a sea, it's bound to have its grand waves and thunderous shorebreak. Rolling waves of clouds churned in the Cloud Sea, colliding with the indistinct shore formed by the clouds, stirring up countless bubbles of cloud foam.

Witnessing such a scene, Ye Yuqiao was somewhat shocked. She wanted to ask Chen Hao how he had discovered this place, but when her gaze shifted to his face, she abandoned the idea.

He had a sullen expression, looking extremely displeased. Clearly, Chen Hao was angry.

From the moment they bid farewell to the civilians of Rainbow Paradise, Chen Hao hadn't spoken a single word to Ye Yuqiao.

Knowing that Chen Hao was angry, Ye Yuqiao became even angrier, and thus the two of them fell into a wordless cold war.

And so, Ye Yuqiao's gaze moved from Chen Hao's face to the Cloud Sea above.

Visible above the Cloud Sea were several huge, flatboat-like tender green leaves. On these leaves, several old men sat at odd angles, each holding two bamboo poles. Behind them, a fishing net lay quietly.

The old men paddled with their bamboo poles, drifting on the Cloud Sea. No matter how turbulent the waves were, no matter how they rose and fell, the huge leaves beneath them clung tightly to the surface of the Cloud Sea.

Chen Hao was no stranger to these old men.

The first time he saw them was seven days ago.

Back then, he had been searching for the exit on his own for nearly half a month, after the year's second seven-colored rainbow had appeared. The reason he found this place was that one day, when he passed by a household, he saw a huge fishing net in the yard of the house.

Why would there be a fishing net in Rainbow Paradise? At that moment, Chen Hao found it very suspicious. After giving it some thought, he realized that during the half month of searching for a potential exit, he had not seen a single lake or river that could accommodate such a gigantic fishing net. Moreover, the inhabitants of Rainbow Paradise had no worries about food or clothing, so why would anyone be a fisherman?

With doubts in mind, he kept an eye on that household.

When noon came, an old man gathered the net in the yard and took it onto a cart.

Thus, an hour later, Chen Hao followed the cart to the Cloud Sea.

At that time, there were already quite a few old men sitting on giant leaves, rowing boats on the Cloud Sea, moving back and forth, their eyes constantly looking below as if they were searching for or salvaging something.

After seeing this situation, Chen Hao immediately confirmed that there was some secret in the Cloud Sea.

He had thought about going over and asking the old men, but he feared alerting them, and so he abandoned the idea.

On this Rainbow Paradise, who didn't know that he was Chen Hao, the man competing with the King for the queen?

Therefore, he could only observe from the shadows.
