In the void, Mo Li's face twisted, his body convulsed, as if struggling to regain his sanity under the questioning of the Asura Dao Ancestor.
This sight moved the Asura Dao Ancestor deeply.
Was Mo Li’s betrayal due to being controlled by someone else?
A fleeting light flashed in the Asura Dao Ancestor's eyes.
It was very possible! He was well aware of the background of everyone around him. The reason Mo Li was chosen was that he participated in the one hundred consecutive victories in Five Peaks City, fighting bloodily and ultimately becoming the only person in nearly a hundred thousand years to achieve such a feat in the challenge competition.
During the last battle, he was present and witnessed Mo Li's fierce determination to win, risking his life.
In Mo Li's heart, there was a kind of ruthlessness that other ghost cultivators did not possess; he was definitely not someone who feared death.
That was why he had been handpicked.
Previously, in the Dead Sea, Mo Li's performance was also commendable, qualifying him as a general who earned great admiration.
“With my charm and the status of the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor in the underworld, which ghost cultivator wouldn’t dream of working under me? How could he possibly betray me?”
“The reason Mo Li betrayed me must be because he was forced, rather than his own desire.”
“But what kind of power could lead to such a betrayal from so many people? The Undying Stone Elder probably still has the mark of the Stone Wasteland Great Emperor in his mind; could it be so easily controlled?”
Thoughts flickered in the Asura Dao Ancestor's mind.
At this moment, he was certain that he was getting closer to the truth.
“Lord Asura, please kill… me, ah…”
Mo Li was in agony, holding his head in his hands, his face twisted. His nails dug deeply into his own body, blood flowed freely, yet he seemed completely oblivious, as if numb.
Mo Li's mournful appearance moved everyone else present, sending chills down their spines.
“Mo Li…”
The Asura Dao Ancestor’s gaze towards Mo Li subtly changed, moved by the sight.
Especially in contrast to the Undying Stone Elder, who had gone mad and attacked the Stone Wasteland Great Emperor after betraying, seeing Mo Li's unwillingness to strike against him even in death touched the Asura Dao Ancestor’s heart.
The underworld was ruthless, with the survival of the fittest. Had he ever had such a loyal person under his command?
Just then, the furious shout of the Judge Demon King interrupted the Asura Dao Ancestor's thoughts.
“Asura, what are you dawdling for at a time like this? This person is merging with the Nine Nether Forbidden Void Great Array. Quickly stop him; he must not succeed!”
As soon as he spoke, a plate appeared in the Judge Demon King’s hand. Boom! The moment this array plate appeared, an invisible spatial wave spread out, slowly merging with the aura of the surrounding Nine Nether Forbidden Void Great Array.
Then, the Judge Demon King spat out a mouthful of nether blood onto the array plate. With a buzzing sound, ancient runes quickly appeared, and the plate emitted beams of pitch-black light, attempting to merge rapidly with the Nine Nether Forbidden Void Great Array.
The Judge Demon King realized that the most critical thing now was not to inquire about what had happened, but to prevent the person in the array pillar from controlling the Nine Nether Forbidden Void Great Array. Once the array fell under the opponent's control, they would all be finished.
Thus, he immediately summoned the array plate capable of controlling the Nine Nether Forbidden Void Great Array to seize control.
Seeing this, the Asura Dao Ancestor instantly awakened, without saying a word, also produced an array plate in his hand and threw it into the void.
Boom!
The vast spatial power surged, quickly mingling with the surrounding world. Runes flowed on the array plate, vaguely revealing eighty-one light points, meant to correspond with the eighty-one array pillars of the Nine Nether Forbidden Void Great Array.
