The Eastern Ming King's face changed upon hearing this: "What did you say?"

However, he suddenly felt weak all over, and his face changed abruptly: "Did you drug the tea?"

"Congratulations, you guessed right. Now you have two choices: join the Star Alliance to follow the master or die here," the Western Ming King said with a faint smile.

The Eastern Ming King tried to mobilize the Qi within him, but there was no response. He finally sighed, glanced at Lin Chen, who had been sitting silently to the side, and said, "You must be Lin Chen, the Alliance Hierarch of the Star Alliance!"

Lin Chen nodded: "That's right! Do not resist."

As he spoke, a flash of golden light passed, and the Eastern Ming King was also subdued by Lin Chen.

In three days, using the same method, the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Ming Kings were all subdued by Lin Chen, and Wu Feng also brought people to join Lin Chen.

On the last day, they welcomed another Ming King, the Blue Moon Ming King.

This Blue Moon Ming King's power was the strongest among the eight Ming Kings, even second only to the Nether King.

Seeing the Blue Moon Ming King, Lin Chen smiled faintly: "The Blue Moon Ming King, leader of the eight kings, indeed extraordinary upon meeting you today."

The Blue Moon Ming King's gaze sharpened, looking at the young man sitting at the head.

Although this young man was not very old, he exuded a suffocating aura. Under this aura, he even felt a sense of danger.

The Blue Moon Ming King glanced at the other four Ming Kings, feeling that these four displayed a hint of respect when looking at this young man.

He squinted slightly and smiled faintly: "Little brother, you're too kind. I didn't expect such a high figure to emerge in our Nether Domain. It seems we'll have another Ming King in our Nether Domain."

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Blue Moon Ming King, you misspoke. It's not that the Nether Domain gains another Ming King, but our Star Alliance gains another expert."

"Star Alliance? What's that?" The Blue Moon Ming King frowned.

"The Star Alliance is created by me, with a sincere invitation for the Blue Moon Ming King's joining." Lin Chen replied cheerfully.

At this moment, the four Ming Kings had encircled the Blue Moon Ming King, ready to act together if he made any moves.

The Blue Moon Ming King wasn't foolish. Although his strength surpassed the four Ming Kings, it was only slightly. Against the combined efforts of the four, he was powerless, especially with the enigmatic Lin Chen beside them.

"It seems the four eastern, southern, western, and northern Ming Kings have all been subdued by you?" The Blue Moon Ming King smiled bitterly.

Lin Chen nodded: "I believe the Blue Moon Ming King is a wise person and wouldn't do anything foolish, right?"

The Blue Moon Ming King said helplessly: "Do I have any other choice? I am willing to submit to the Star Alliance!"

Lin Chen nodded: "Do not resist."

As he spoke, a golden light penetrated the Blue Moon Ming King's mind.

"Master!" The Blue Moon Ming King bowed to Lin Chen respectfully.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Now there are still three Ming Kings in Nether City, right?"

The Blue Moon Ming King said, "Exactly, these three Ming Kings are Nether King's cronies, they are the Soul-hooking Ming King, the Blood Fiend Ming King, and the Purgatory Ming King."

"These three Ming Kings were the ones who led troops to massacre Wu Feng, right?" Lin Chen said coldly.

"Exactly!" Feeling the coldness emanating from Lin Chen, the Blue Moon Ming King quickly replied.

Lin Chen nodded: "In that case, these three Ming Kings need not be subdued, just kill them."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, a hint of warmth appeared on Wu Feng's face, knowing this was for his revenge.

The next day, Nether City was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Everyone knew it was the Nether King's wedding day.

In the Underworld Palace, lights and decorations were everywhere, with leaders from various powerful forces in the Peaceful Realms attending, all eight Ming Kings bringing gifts to celebrate the Nether King's wedding.

Looking around, the usually gloomy Nether City surprisingly displayed a bit of the joy found in the mortal realm today.

Inside the Underworld Palace, it was bustling, with influential figures from across the Peaceful Realms present.

However, deep within the Underworld Palace, a courtyard was exceptionally tranquil.

This courtyard was quite peculiar; though situated in the Peaceful Realms, it was planted with peach blossoms, roses, and some green grasses typical of the mortal realm.

At a glance, no one would have thought this place was in the Peaceful Realms.

Zhao Xiaowen, dressed in a red wedding gown, had tears and tear stains in her eyes, with tears sliding down like pearls.

That beautiful and charming face remained captivating, yet she appeared somewhat haggard at this moment.

The tears had already soaked her makeup, looking at herself in the mirror, Zhao Xiaowen felt extremely desolate.

"Lin Chen, this wedding attire should have been worn for you, but you're not here!"

After Zhao Xiaowen fell unconscious, her soul had entered this world of the Peaceful Realms.

In this unfamiliar world, the situation of a young girl could well be imagined.

At first, she encountered a kind elderly couple who took her in.

But later, the war reached her village, and the elderly couple was killed, while she was captured by a Nether General, it was at this time she met Wu Feng.

Wu Feng killed the Nether General and took her to his manor, treating her with courtesy.

Unexpectedly, however, Wu Feng was later defeated and captured, and she fell into the hands of the Nether King again.

Although she was unyielding, the Nether King threatened her with Wu Feng.

Wu Feng was Lin Chen's brother and also her savior, she couldn't just stand by.

Thus, she remained in the Underworld Palace but refused to be touched by the Nether King.

Though her body resided in Underworld Palace, her heart was entirely with Lin Chen.

Now, her mind was filled with Lin Chen's silhouette.

The first meeting, the first hand-holding, the first kiss, one after another, memories like scenes from a movie replayed in her mind.

"Lin Chen, where are you? Lin Chen, do you know I miss you!"

Zhao Xiaowen's eyes blurred with tears, thinking she might never see Lin Chen again, her heart ached painfully as though being cut by knives.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and a middle-aged woman walked in.

"Oh, why is the bride crying on the wedding day?" A sharp voice chimed in.

Zhao Xiaowen frowned upon seeing the person who entered behind her.

This woman was known as Granny Rong, the old housekeeper of the Underworld Palace, known for being extremely harsh.

"Zhao Xiaowen, don't act as if you're suffering," Granny Rong snorted. "The Nether King is like a god in our Peaceful Realms. Don't dream of returning to the mortal realm, this is impossible."

Zhao Xiaowen said nothing, unwilling to engage with the old woman behind her.

"Let me tell you, no matter who your little lover is in the mortal realm, forget about him. The Nether King has said, as long as you obediently marry him, he'll release Wu Feng. Otherwise, if you infuriate the Nether King, you won't be spared either," Granny Rong snorted.

"I want a moment of quiet, please leave." Unable to tolerate the old woman nagging, Zhao Xiaowen coldly stated.
