Chapter 949: 087 A Mysterious Letter
Two days later.
Netherworld, Wushuang City.
After daybreak, Wang Fengyin brought Ye Fei to the Netherworld to find Chen Hao.
Upon meeting, Chen Hao eagerly asked Ye Fei, "Ye Fei, how's everything with your family?"
Ye Fei squinted and chuckled foolishly, saying, "We're not getting divorced anymore. We're even planning to go abroad for a vacation after she starts her winter break, to make up for our honeymoon."
"Really!"
Chen Hao showed a delighted expression, very happy for Ye Fei, then asked, "Did you do what I taught you with your wife?"
Chen Hao was embarrassed to continue.
Ye Fei's face suddenly flushed, then he awkwardly nodded.
Chen Hao raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.
"What happened between Brother Ye Fei and his wife?" Wang Fengyin asked cluelessly from the side.
Chen Hao and Ye Fei exchanged smiles.
"Little kids shouldn't ask too many questions." Chen Hao patted Wang Fengyin's shoulder with a laugh.
Wang Fengyin glared at Chen Hao resentfully, then said, "I won't talk to you guys anymore, I'm going back to study!"
After Wang Fengyin left, Chen Hao and Ye Fei walked into the courtyard and took a seat.
"Chen Hao, have you heard anything from Gu Lai or Xiao Su these past two days?" Ye Fei asked.
Chen Hao shook his head helplessly.
"Right!" Ye Fei suddenly remembered something, then lowered his head and took out a letter from the inside pocket of his coat, handing it to Chen Hao.
"I received this letter yesterday, it's addressed to my home, but the recipient's name is yours," Ye Fei said.
Chen Hao felt it odd, quickly took the letter, opened it, and began to read aloud, "At 20:13:14 on the 7th, Tai Shan will appear on the rooftop of the first teaching building at Guanwen Middle School in City H."
"Only memories will not deceive in this world, if you find there are issues in the future, please go to 10 Lane 14, Wenming Street, Q City to find a person with the surname Wang."
After Chen Hao read the contents, Ye Fei exclaimed, "Guanwen Middle School is my alma mater high school!"
"Today is the 6th, so the 7th is tomorrow! What's Tai Shan going to do at our school? Good thing it's the weekend and there are no classes."
"Who wrote this letter?" Chen Hao looked puzzled, "And what does his second sentence mean? What about only memories not deceiving?"
"The letter says to find someone, we can go to the address mentioned and look for that person," Ye Fei suggested.
Chen Hao shook his head, saying, "No rush, the letter says to find that person if we discover issues later, let's first clarify what issues the letter is referring to?"
After some thought, Ye Fei's eyebrows deeply furrowed, and he sighed, "The content of this letter is really strange, it's not clear at all. The person who wrote this letter seems to know what will happen tomorrow, and the time is so precise, feels like it's a person."
"Are you talking about Gu Lai?" Chen Hao became alert.
People with the ability to foresee the future are rare, and Gu Lai is the only one Chen Hao knows.
"Yeah!" Ye Fei nodded, "This letter might be a trap, using our curiosity to lure us to Guanwen Middle School, or to the address in Q City mentioned in the letter."
"Then we'll just hold off and see tomorrow."
..
..
The sun sets and rises, marking a new day.
Before dawn, Chen Hao and Yuqiao were woken up by their crying child, starting a busy day.
Unknowingly, the night quietly fell, another day about to end.
"I'm exhausted!" Chen Hao, who had just put the child to sleep, lay on the bed and sighed.
Just then, Ye Yuqiao walked into the room carrying a plate of dishes.
"Honey, dinner's ready."
"Wife, feed me, please. I'm too tired to get out of bed."
Ye Yuqiao walked over to the bed, sat down, and pinched Chen Hao's nose, saying, "You've been a dad for only a few days and you're already tired?"
Chen Hao reluctantly got up, turned his head to look at Ye Yuqiao and said, "I didn't expect taking care of a child would be this exhausting. It's almost seven o'clock now, and after eight, I still need to make a trip to City H to see if what was mentioned in that letter is true."
"Then you better hurry up and eat." Ye Yuqiao stood up as she spoke and then yanked Chen Hao out of bed.
However, just at that moment, a series of "rumbling" sounds erupted.
"What's happening?" Chen Hao was startled.
"That sound should be coming from the mortal world," Ye Yuqiao said.
A sharp light shot from Chen Hao's eyes: "Could it be activity from the island in the East Sea? Are Tai Shan and the others starting to move?"
"Wah wah wah!" Right then, the two children began to cry, having been woken up by the noise.
Both rushed to the crib and each picked up a child.
"Bang bang bang!" A knocking sound came from the door.
"Who is it?" Chen Hao asked loudly towards the door.
"It's me!"
The urgent voice from outside was Hua Shan's: "Tai Shan, Xiao Su and Gu Lai have appeared above the East Sea."
Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao looked at each other, then Ye Yuqiao said, "Husband, you should quickly go check out the mortal world."
Chen Hao nodded, then placed the child down, left the room, and headed to the East Sea in the mortal world with Hua Shan and Ye Fei.
When the three arrived above the East Sea, near the island that had recently emerged from the water, Wang Fengyin also arrived just in time.
Subsequently, they saw Gu Lai and Tai Shan standing at the edge of a lake on the island.
At that moment, both the island and the surrounding sea area were violently shaking, and a huge whirlpool had formed in the middle of the lake.
Chen Hao activated his Nether Eye to see through, and discovered Xiao Su beneath the lake, holding a broken sword, with its tip stabbed into a golden seal.
The broken sword, though only consisting of the blade tip, was as long as a regular sword, but much wider.
"This broken sword, isn't it the one Tai Shan obtained from the gold palace underground in the north of City H three years ago!" Chen Hao thought to himself in shock.
He now understood why Tai Shan was willing to trade the life of a black dragon for this broken sword.
"There really is a seal under this lake!" Chen Hao said to his companions.
"Then let's quickly stop them!"
At this moment, upon seeing Chen Hao and the others arrive on the island, Tai Shan hastily released a black sphere in the air, from which five differently colored dragons emerged.
Subsequently, a spatial Barrier formed around the lake before Chen Hao and his group could get close.
With a "bang," Wang Fengyin, transformed into a black dragon, crashed into the Barrier.
However, even with the soul of a black dragon, he couldn't break the Barrier set by the five dragons.
Yet, even this spatial Barrier set by the five dragons couldn't stop Chen Hao.
Chen Hao leaped into the Nether Acupoint and reappeared inside the Barrier.
He reached above the whirlpool and directly sprayed the Nether King's Fire towards Xiao Su at the bottom of the lake.
"Ah!" A loud shout erupted from beneath the lake from Xiao Su!
Immediately after, Chen Hao saw Xiao Su suddenly disappear from the lake's bottom.
