Capítulo 1150: Chapter 1150: Netherworld Palace Authority
“Summon two Hidden Guards,” Nightmare gestured for them to help Soul Destroyer up. Ti was running out, and everyone continued toward the exit of Bai Mountain. Nightmare’s recent move had scared the woman in black; it was both intimidation and a final warning, Nightmare’s “final ultimatum.” If the woman in black remained relentless, he would begin his massacre. Bai Mountain was vast and sparsely populated; not even a few bodies here would be attended to.
Perhaps the repeated chase earlier left Ji Qian with psychological shadows, as the group withdrew, they kept glancing back occasionally to guard against anyone sneaking up on them from behind. Nightmare noticed this and spoke softly to reassure.
“Rest assured, they won’t chase us anymore,” Nightmare explained, “I taught her a lesson.”
“That’s good, but we’ve lost many people this ti.” Ji Qian sighed softly. When they entered, there were nearly forty people, but now only a re ten remain. The rest have perished inside Bai Mountain.
“It’s clear they intended to kill you all,” Nightmare remarked calmly.
“Luckily, you arrived in ti, or we would have been in real danger,” Ji Qian pointed to the rcenaries behind them, “These ca to join us. Once we’re out of the mountain, arrange for them.”
“Yes, Lord Moon God.”
“By the way, have you seen Zhang Lin and Short-nosed Crocodile? They should have gone out first,” Ji Qian suddenly asked loudly, as if she had just thought of sothing.
“Rest assured, my lord, I’ve already received them and sent them to the northeastern base. Once we get out, we can return together,” Nightmare quickly explained, realizing he forgot to ntion it due to the urgent situation earlier.
“That’s great, the Bai Mountain Snow Lotus is finally protected,” Ji Qian felt relieved; thankfully, both the people and the snow lotus were safe. As they reached the riverbank, they spotted several off-road vehicles, likely brought by Nightmare and his team. Everyone felt cheerful, finally freed from the fate of hiking through mountain paths on foot.
“My lord, just who is the woman in black, why is she always opposing us?” Nightmare was rather curious; after their exchange he realized the woman’s cultivation was not weak. If she hadn’t fought fiercely with Ji Qian earlier, Nightmare wouldn’t have beaten her so easily. Such a cultivator couldn’t just be at anyone’s beck and call.
“I don’t know, but it’s certain she’s being directed by soone from behind.”
“So, there is soone significant behind her,” Nightmare nodded. Although he didn’t know who, it was clear soone capable of such a large-scale intervention must be quite important.
“Exactly.”
“No matter what, I must report the situation to the lord as soon as possible,” Nightmare glanced back, knowing their vehicles ant the woman’s group wouldn’t catch up.
“Where is Jeddon?” Ji Qian suddenly asked. Since Ghost’s amnesia, Jeddon has been managing Netherworld Palace affairs. Given they’ve been in Bai Mountain for so long, Jeddon should have dispatched people by now.
“My lord, Jeddon is at the Yanjing base. If it weren’t for him, I would’ve arrived three days ago,” Nightmare’s face darkened, his tone carrying a hint of frustration.
“What do you an by that?” Ji Qian imdiately sensed sothing amiss. Since Jeddon began managing Netherworld Palace, everything seems to have changed. Though the palace is still operating, expanding influence, it’s no longer united. The base’s atmosphere has beco icy.
“Four days ago, I intended to bring people to support, but was rebuffed by Jeddon who stated other arrangents. I waited for days without any action; only yesterday did he agree to send two teams of Hidden Guards for support,” Nightmare gritted his teeth, powerless. Without Jeddon’s permission, even the four warring generals of the palace couldn’t deploy Hidden Guards. As the palace’s elite, Hidden Guards obey only the Netherworld King and the Netherworld King Order. This Order functions similarly to ancient tiger tally, requiring two parts to use. However, the Netherworld King Order is a single piece, usually carried by his trusted aides.
“I’ll discuss this with him personally. Once you return to the base, avoid any conflict with Jeddon,” Ji Qian’s expression turned pensive. Events seem beyond her expectation, though she’s certain Ye Shikai is unaware, otherwise, he wouldn’t be indifferent. Yet, Ji Qian maintains her absolute calm, understanding disputes and actions aren’t possible without clarity—it’s internal strife, everything needs investigation.
But Ji Qian felt sowhat comforted; with the Bai Mountain Snow Lotus, Ghost could regain his mory and once again manage Netherworld Palace.
“My lord, we’ve left Bai Mountain.” At this mont, a Hidden Guard turned back to report. As Ji Qian turned, the surrounding snow had disappeared, revealing a straight highway ahead. After a week, they finally erged, and strangely, Ji Qian felt heavy-hearted, likely due to the loss of so many people—those were her battle comrades she led here but couldn’t lead out…

Europe.
“Kai, co quickly, I feel… fetal movent.” Chen Yuxin lay on the bed, looking extrely excited, her hands placed on her abdon, carefully sensing the change.
“No way, just one or two months pregnant and already feeling fetal movent?” Ye Shikai was unfamiliar with maternal and infant knowledge, a “blind spot” for most n.
“Co listen,” Chen Yuxin was quite excited. The saying goes, “Pregnancy makes one silly for three years,” though pregnant won aren’t silly, just their thoughts transform. Likewise, Ye Shikai began transforming, soon to beco a father.
“It must be… just normal stomach movent,” Ye Shikai gently touched her abdon, his gaze skeptical, sure enough, the abdon cald.
“Is that so, maybe I sensed wrong,” Chen Yuxin felt montarily lost; she eagerly anticipated the child’s birth. Though she studied abroad for a long ti, her traditional oriental mindset held, a complete family needs a child.
“No hurry, Xin, stay ho and nurture for a while; stop running around. You’re pregnant, I can’t be at ease,” Ye Shikai said calmly.
“Yes, that’s my plan. Soon, I’ll have Ruoya manage the group. After childbirth, I’ll resu managing the group.”
