The current state of the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor's physical source was damaged, and his divine soul had not yet recovered to its peak. He desperately needed a substantial amount of divine soul and physical source to replenish himself. Seeing those second-level transcendent beings before him, his eyes nearly turned green with envy.
If he could devour them, it would greatly benefit the recovery of both his physical body and divine soul.
In an instant, the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was filled with murderous intent, glaring at the powerful beings lurking in the distant void, resembling a beast waiting for an opportunity to hunt, eager to pounce on its prey, with a ferocious light in his eyes.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you think about is eating."
*Bang!*
Qin Chen delivered a sharp knock on the top of the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor's head, causing him to shiver all over.
"Young Master Chen, what are you doing? Those guys are lurking outside the Demon King Hall, surely they are enemies of my Demon King Hall. Besides, with my and your strength, it's just a matter of casually getting rid of a few small second-level transcendent beings."
The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor rubbed his head, looking utterly confused.
He couldn't understand why Qin Chen stopped him.
"Hmph, you just said it yourself, they're just insignificant second-level transcendent beings. How much can you recover by exterminating them?" Qin Chen sneered.
With the current cultivation and strength of the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor, wanting to restore his source couldn't be satisfied by just a few second-level transcendents.
"Isn't it better than having nothing?" The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor licked his lips.
"Better than nothing? Hmph, that's asking for the unimportant at the expense of the vital." Qin Chen coldly replied, "These guys are merely second-level transcendent beings. Under normal circumstances, how dare they provoke the Demon King Hall? No matter how you look at it, the Demon King Hall is a forbidden zone. The reason these guys are staying here must be that they received many orders from the forbidden zones to keep watch, trying to spy on whether you return."
"If you take action and kill these guys, it might seem trivial, but it would directly expose your return. By then, many forbidden zone lords and the Master of the Graveyard of the God of Death would know, and they would come together. Your injuries haven't healed; do you think you can withstand that?"
Qin Chen shot him a glance.
"This..." The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor's face went stiff.
In the abandoned land, powerful beings were as numerous as clouds. In his prime, he wouldn’t dare to confront all the lords of the forbidden zones, let alone now.
"Don't forget our main business. We even avoided the Master of the Graveyard of the God of Death just to allow you to return to the Demon King Hall to absorb the power of the Demon King's Pool and quickly restore your physical body; we cannot sacrifice the essential for the trivial."
Qin Chen's gaze deepened as he looked toward the distant ruins of the Demon King Hall, coldly stating, "Look at the ruins of the Demon King Hall; the Master of the Graveyard of the God of Death and others must have already come. The urgent task is to understand the situation of the Demon King's Pool; we cannot afford to stir up more trouble."
Listening to Qin Chen, the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor shivered all over.
"Young Master Chen is wise." He looked at Qin Chen with admiration, feeling a surge of respect from the bottom of his heart.
Damn it.
What Young Master Chen said made too much sense; how had he not realized this earlier? If not for Young Master Chen being present, he might have already exposed himself.
That was close!
"Young Master Chen, then let's sneak into the Demon King Hall and see if the Demon King's Pool is still there!" The Forest of the Underworld King hurriedly said, his figure flickering as he prepared to step forward.
