Chapter 5484: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes 🎭

Published: January 22, 2025

At this moment, Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and Five Peaks Underworld Emperor both suddenly looked towards Emperor of Beginning Charm.

The Dead Sea Forbidden Area is said to have been left behind after a fierce battle between the Underworld Deity and a top powerhouse from the cosmic sea, but this had never been verified. Now, everything before them made the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and Five Peaks Underworld Emperor suddenly realize.

Could the rumors be true?

Otherwise, how could they explain the presence of Stone Statue Ghost Ancestor, Mo Li, and the faintly fused yang energy on that kid within the Spatial Array Pillar? This surely must have been left behind after their long-term contact with that great being in the Dead Sea Forbidden Area.

Huff! Huff!

In an instant, the breaths of the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and Five Peaks Underworld Emperor suddenly became rapid.

“This emperor is the mastermind behind all this? You two really have too vivid imaginations, don’t you?”

Across from them, Emperor of Beginning Charm wore a face of astonishment.

She had to admit that she was a bit bewildered right now.

“Ha! So it was you, Emperor of Beginning Charm, who arranged all this!” Stone Wasteland Great Emperor suddenly roared, “No wonder I couldn’t sense the imprint power within Undying Stone Elder and the others; it was blocked by you. It makes sense; who in the Underworld could rival you in enchanting techniques? Who could silently block our perception of imprints? If you are the one pulling the strings, then everything makes sense.”

Stone Wasteland Great Emperor suddenly looked enlightened.

Emperor of Beginning Charm blinked her eyes.

Although the imprint in Undying Stone Elder's mind was indeed blocked by her, to say she was the mastermind behind everything, she really was innocent.

“Does this mean that Mo Li is also controlled by Emperor of Beginning Charm’s enchanting technique?” This subordinate understood and spoke, “The purpose of Emperor of Beginning Charm controlling Mo Li is to infiltrate the pillars of the Nine Nether Forbidden Void Great Array. The reason he doesn’t dare to act against me and Judge Demon King is simply out of fear of your strength and not daring to touch your imprint.”

Asura Dao Ancestor suddenly realized.

Everything instantly connected into a line.

He glanced at Mo Li and couldn’t help but praise: Mo Li is indeed loyal. Under the control of such a powerful figure as Emperor of Beginning Charm’s enchanting techniques, he was still able to resist commands, preferring to die rather than act against himself.

Such loyalty is nearly extinct in the Underworld.

“Am I being controlled?” From a distance, Mo Li stared blankly at the suddenly appearing Emperor of Beginning Charm, then at the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and others. Upon feeling the gaze of Asura Dao Ancestor, he suddenly had an epiphany. He clasped his head with both hands, his face revealing a hint of painful struggle, as if he was still fighting against it.

Yes, he was being controlled.

He was, in fact, loyal.

However, the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and Five Peaks Underworld Emperor clearly didn’t pay any attention to Mo Li; their gazes were firmly fixed on Emperor of Beginning Charm.

“Emperor of Beginning Charm, stop pretending! Do you think you can deceive us? Speak up, what is hidden in the Dead Sea Forbidden Area? Is there something left by the Underworld Deity? Or perhaps a treasure left by some powerful figure from the cosmic sea?”

Boom!

Both of them stepped forward simultaneously, their terrifying killing intent soaring to the heavens, forming an endless and terrifying storm that rampaged through the world.

Underworld Deity?

Upon hearing this, everyone was once again shocked, their faces revealing horror.

What is going on? How could the Dead Sea Forbidden Area be related to the legendary Underworld Deity?

Stone Wasteland Great Emperor also trembled, his eyes glowing with excitement.

“You two, I do not know what you are talking about.” Emperor of Beginning Charm chuckled lightly.
