"Short-sighted, am I?"
In the void, Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor wore a bewildered expression. Did Young Master Chen have some ulterior motive for giving these individuals the Water of the Dead Sea?
However, regardless of the intention, giving them the Water of the Dead Sea would undoubtedly enhance their strength. In the end, wouldn't that just bolster the enemy? Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor scratched his head, still unable to comprehend it fully.
Just then, he inexplicably sensed that the atmosphere around him was a bit strange.
When he regained his senses, he noticed that Blood Killer Ghost Ancestor, Mysterious Ghost Old Demon, and the Underworld Blade, Killer Ghost, who was flying in from the distant mountains, as well as Ebonshade Ghost General from the hall of the ghost king below, were all watching him with peculiar expressions.
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor's face flushed red, but fortunately, his dark complexion concealed it from others. He rolled his eyes and immediately coughed, coldly snorting, "Hmph, what are you all looking at? Do you really think this ancestor is unaware of the Lord's intentions? Haha, that's ridiculous! I've been with the Lord for so long; I can guess the Lord's thoughts with just a wiggle of my little toe."
"The reason this ancestor is pretending to be foolish in front of the Lord is merely to highlight the Lord's brilliance and might."
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor spoke proudly, appearing as if he had long been aware of everything.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly bowed, saying, "So it turns out Lord Ten Thousand Bones has such intentions. We've learned from it."
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor smiled with pride, "Hehe, it's good that you all understand. Sometimes, the principles of being a person and cultivating are exactly the same. The tall tree attracts the wind; one must know how to conceal one’s strengths to follow the righteous path."
"Lord Ten Thousand Bones is wise." Everyone exclaimed, impressed by Lord Ten Thousand Bones.
"Boss Bone, now that the Lord has descended, should we hurry over..." At this moment, Mysterious Ghost Old Demon couldn't help but speak up.
"Ah." Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor regained his senses, appearing a bit flustered. He quickly said, "Everyone, follow me."
Immediately, he rushed towards the location where Qin Chen had landed.
A moment later, a group gathered in a side hall of the hall of the ghost king.
At this time, many areas around the mountains near the hall of the ghost king had turned into ruins, the main hall collapsed, leaving only a side hall intact.
Qin Chen sat in the foremost position of the side hall, while Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor and the others followed suit.
"My husband, you finally returned."
"Wuwuwu, husband, we missed you so much."
"Husband, you don't know how much we thought of you while you were gone. Now that you're back, we can finally relax."
As soon as Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor entered the side hall, before he could say anything, a group of ghost cultivator women rushed over, hugging his arms, weeping and leaning closer to him. It was a sight to behold.
The first and second ladies pressed their soft bodies against Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor, fearing that someone else might take the lead.
"I'm not your husband."
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was startled and hurriedly scolded, "What kind of behavior is this? Quickly get back!" If it were some male ghost cultivators, he would have easily sent them flying, but facing so many ghost cultivator women, each with figures that were curvy in all the right places and mature charm, Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor had never seen such a scene before. He instantly felt dry and at a loss.
In the past, under the command of the Emperor of the Underworld, although he was one of the seven underworld generals, he acted reclusively and coldly, and his subordinates did not dare to let female ghost cultivators approach him. He had never experienced such a situation.
