My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 794: Seeing this order is like the Ghost Lord coming in person

The taste of that medicinal soup was truly indescribable; Qin Feng felt as if he had taken a stroll through the Gate of Hell. When he opened his eyes again, two incense sticks’ worth of time had passed.

“Why am I unconscious again?” Qin Feng rubbed his forehead and asked.

Tubo replied immediately, “After Young Master drank Lady Meng’s medicinal soup, this was the result.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng glanced at the stains on the ground and looked at Meng Shuang in confusion.

Meng Shuang was adjusting her internal injuries and calmly replied upon sensing his gaze, “It’s a medicinal wine I made, which can help you heal your injuries. However, it seems that your injuries were too severe, causing you to faint.”

Qin Feng sensed his body and indeed felt much better than before. However, he was still curious and asked, “Is there such a thing as medicinal wine in the Netherworld?”

Meng Shuang shook her head, “Of course not. But based on the fine wine you gave me before, I used the materials available in the Netherworld to create it, ensuring both the taste and the ability to heal your injuries.”

Qin Feng’s expression stiffened, “Leaving aside the taste, the efficacy of this medicine is indeed remarkable. My injuries have improved significantly, but my head still feels a bit dizzy. By the way, what materials did you use?”

Could this be the legendary soup from Meng Po? It’s so potent. Qin Feng pinched his forehead and couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

Meng Shuang’s gaze dodged a bit, “Don’t dwell on these trivial matters. You came to this realm alone at this time; it must be for Ghost Emperor Qin, right?”

At the mention of this, Qin Feng’s brows furrowed, and his spirits lifted. He circulated the Primordial Immortal Qi within him, instantly clearing his mind. 

Then he expressed his grievances, “I have been quite respectful to the Ghost Lord, paying tribute to her regularly. But why did she make such a decision, imprisoning my father in the Abyssal Prison and even planning to subject him to the punishment of Hades?” 

“You should know my father’s character. Accusations of upsetting the balance of life and death, plotting to overthrow the Netherworld – these are all baseless accusations.”

Outside the Gate of Hell, Qin Feng had heard many insults directed at Father Qin by the ghost generals, giving him a better understanding of the situation. 

It was clearly a setup.

Meng Shuang sighed, “I know you resent Ghost Lord, but this is not Ghost Lord’s intention.”

Continuing, she briefly explained the current situation in the Netherworld to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng’s expression became extremely solemn after hearing it. He hadn’t expected the Netherworld to be in such dire straits—the disturbance in the balance of life and death had seriously affected its existence. 

Moreover, the monsters outside the Negate Bridge were launching fierce attacks, and even the creatures sealed in the Golden Bowl were beginning to revolt. If internal problems arose in such a critical moment, the Netherworld would undoubtedly be doomed.

“Ghost Lord had no choice. Shentu obtained evidence that was highly detrimental to Ghost Emperor Qin.” 

“In order to appease the people of the Netherworld, Ghost Lord had to issue such orders. She probably didn’t really intend to put Ghost Emperor Qin to death, otherwise, she wouldn’t have arranged the punishment of Hades in two days.” 

“Moreover, you being able to come to the Netherworld in flesh and blood should be because the Ghost Lord gave you something, right?” 

Qin Feng nodded and then took out the bone token from his embrace.

Meng Shuang was shocked to see this item, “Ghost Lord actually gave you this?”

Meanwhile, Tubo was so frightened by the sight that he prostrated himself on the ground and shouted, “I pay my respects to Ghost Lord!”

Qin Feng was puzzled by the scene before him and couldn’t help but ask, “What is this thing?”

Meng Shuang let out a sigh and explained slowly, “This is the Ghost Lord’s token. Those who possess this token are treated as if Ghost Lord herself is present.” 

“With this bone token, you can command the Netherworld and direct the ghost generals as you wish. I originally thought that when Ghost Lord threw herself into repairing the barrier, she would give the bone token to Lord Zhou Qi to oversee the situation.” 

“I didn’t expect that the bone token would end up in your hands. Is there some deeper meaning behind this?”

Qin Feng didn’t dwell on the deeper meaning and instead excitedly asked, “With this token, can I directly release my father from the Abyssal Prison?”

Meng Shuang bluntly replied, “No.”

 “Why?” Qin Feng was puzzled. In his understanding, with the bone token, he should be able to rescue his father at will.

“In the Netherworld, only two people can open the Abyssal Prison: Ghost Lord and Lord Zhou Qi. Just having the bone token won’t be enough to unlock the Abyssal Prison.”

“In that case, can you take me to find Zhou Qi? I can use this token to get him to open the Abyssal Prison, right?” Qin Feng suggested.

Meng Shuang shook her head, “Even if you have the bone token, not everyone will obey your orders.” 

“The Five Ghost Emperors are a prime example. Moreover, given Lord Zhou Qi’s character, even if he sees the white token in your hand, he won’t release Ghost Emperor Qin from the Abyssal Prison.” 

“If you want to directly rescue someone from the Abyssal Prison, I advise you to give up on that idea.”

“What should I do then?” Qin Feng asked.

Meng Shuang pondered for a moment and then replied, “Since Ghost Lord gave you the bone token, she must have wanted you to rescue Ghost Emperor Qin. I will help you.”

“Since the path to the Abyssal Prison is not feasible, we can only act on the day of the punishment of Hades. Now that I think about it, Ghost Lord perhaps had already foreseen this situation when she asked Li Yang to guard the Abyss Prison.”

“So, should we first go find Li Yang and discuss our plan?” 

“In theory, it would be safest to go find him immediately. However, the situation in the Netherworld is precarious now. Shentu has clearly harbored dissent against Ghost Lord.”

“The injuries on my body were inflicted by him. Moreover, he has issued orders in the Netherworld to have the ghost generals hunt you down.” 

“Most of them are his trusted followers. Even if you have the bone token, it will be difficult to use it. Once your whereabouts are exposed, Shentu will surely come himself to take your life.”

Qin Feng had never seen Shentu nor fought against him, but as fellow Ghost Emperors, Zhang Heng’s strength was enough to reveal many problems. This guy not only framed his father but also aimed to kill him. Qin Feng clenched his fists and frowned.

Meng Shuang continued, “With Ghost Lord’s absence, many people have turned rebellious.” 

“I don’t know how many Ghost Emperors are still standing on Ghost Lord’s side. To successfully rescue Ghost Emperor Qin, it’s not enough with just a few of us. I need to find other Ghost Emperors to assist us.”

“Do you have any candidates in mind? If we choose the wrong person, the consequences could be dire.”

Meng Shuang had initially intended to find Lord Zhou Qi. After all, the latter had a great reputation in the Netherworld. If they could obtain his assistance, all problems could be solved easily. However, the Ghost Lord had bestowed the bone token upon Qin Feng, which made her hesitate.

After a moment, she exhaled and said, “Regardless, we have to give it a try. I have thought of someone. Once my injuries recover a bit, we will set out.”

“Alright.” Qin Feng nodded and then looked at Tubo beside him.

Tubo’s expression turned pale, and he hurriedly said, “I have little strength, so I won’t accompany you two. I’ll just be a burden.”

Qin Feng sighed, “But you’ve heard too much that you shouldn’t have. To prevent you from leaking information, I’ll have to silence you.”

Tubo trembled and then changed his tone, “Although my strength is weak, Ghost Emperor Qin has treated me with great kindness. Even if it’s through fire and water, I will follow the young master!”

“Are you sure?”

“Absolutely sure! These are my heartfelt words!”
