Martial Master

The chains above were locked onto the Emperor of Beginning Charm, constantly vigilant.

"This time, I led so many strong ones here to reclaim everything lost back then, as revenge for a single arrow's grievance."

Kāluó Underworld Ancestor's words shocked everyone.

Had Kāluó Underworld Ancestor actually been here in this great hall back in the day?

"You... misunderstand!"

The Emperor of Beginning Charm sighed, "Everything I did was solely to lead all of you out of this predicament. However, at that time, you did not trust each other, each with hidden agendas, setting up this backlash formation, thus weaving yourselves into a cocoon, leading to my failure in cracking the mystic patterns and losing the chance to leave."

"Otherwise, we probably would have all left here years ago."

The voice of the Emperor of Beginning Charm was full of resentment and sorrow.

That enchanting voice was incredibly gentle, softly reaching the ears of everyone present.

At that moment, the weary dragon ghost ancestor and others had dazed looks in their eyes, gazing obsessively at the Emperor of Beginning Charm, revealing expressions of sympathy.

So pitiful!

They seemed to see back then when the Emperor of Beginning Charm desperately wanted to crack the mystic pattern restrictions to lead everyone out, only to have Kāluó Underworld Ancestor and others harbor ulterior motives, ultimately shooting themselves in the foot. Not only did they harm themselves, but they also caused the Emperor of Beginning Charm to lose her chance to escape.

Otherwise, they all would have likely successfully left back then.

And now, the trapped Emperor of Beginning Charm was merely an innocent victim, while Kāluó Underworld Ancestor was the true culprit.

"Woo woo woo!"

Some even couldn’t help but softly weep.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were filled with sorrow, wanting to rush forward to exonerate the Emperor of Beginning Charm, to plead for this innocent woman.

"Hmph!"

Just then, a cold snort echoed like thunder, shaking the great hall with a rumble.

Boom...

At the same time, a terrifying aura swept over, and everyone felt their essence being rapidly drained by the formation, awakening them from a daze.

"I..."

Many gasped in shock, hurriedly wiping away their tears.

What just happened?

In that brief moment, they all seemed to have lost their wits, their minds devoid of any thoughts, only wanting to fight to vindicate the Emperor of Beginning Charm.

What a terrifying power of enchantment!

Many trembled within, considering if this was the divine might of an emperor.

If not for being trapped in the formation, the Emperor of Beginning Charm could have commanded them to die, and many would not hesitate to commit suicide.

"Senior Beginning Charm, don’t waste your efforts."

Kāluó Underworld Ancestor mocked coldly.

It was his loud shout that had previously woken everyone from their stupor.

Kāluó Underworld Ancestor disdainfully said, "If you had been at your peak, senior, it might have been possible to enchant these useless fools. Now, these guys are trapped in this ancestor's four symbols divine soul formation, unable to act on their own. For you to think you could still enchant them seems rather fanciful."

"Moreover, when you failed to crack the mystic patterns back then, your body was trapped, and your divine soul was severely damaged. After so many years of hiding in this great hall, barely surviving under the devouring power of this place, your divine soul has eroded. You probably have no power to resist now, do you?"

"On the contrary, I, this ancestor, feigned the discovery of this Dead Sea Forbidden Area, leading all the abandoned strong ones back here over the years. Now I sit at the helm of the formation, my divine soul restored, my cultivation returned to its peak. If I could refine you, stepping into the great emperor realm would not be a fantasy."

"By then, I would achieve the great emperor status, using your divine soul to nourish this hall, breaking the restrictions, and returning to the Underworld. The strength I would cultivate would be astounding."
