Undying Emperor Supreme said this without continuing, but everyone instantly understood his meaning.
Their cultivation was too weak.
Indeed.
Given the strength of Yuanmo Ancestor back then, he had only just broken through to the first layer of transcendence. In the eyes of a great emperor like Undying Emperor Supreme, he was indeed not much different from an ant.
However, Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor shook his head and said, “Young Master Chen, this doesn't make sense. Although Yuanmo Ancestor's strength is average, he brought this ancestor through that passage back then. I was one of the great generals under the great emperor back in those days; how could he not have some perception?”
“You?”
Undying Emperor Supreme couldn't help but turn to look at Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor, his expression revealing a strange look, his gaze extremely peculiar.
It was as if he was looking at someone who had previously been ignored, suddenly jumping in front of him to seek affirmation.
“What kind of look is that?”
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor’s face instantly turned ugly as he was looked at by Undying Emperor Supreme.
Damn it.
What does that gaze mean?
“This…” Undying Emperor Supreme glanced at Qin Chen and Sisi, hesitating for a moment before saying, “Your Excellency, being able to accompany the son-in-law means your strength is extraordinary, unparalleled throughout history. The reason I didn’t sense you back then is probably because your strength was just a tiny bit off from my perception line. If you were to pass through the passage now, I would surely sense you immediately, hmm.”
Undying Emperor Supreme nodded firmly, seemingly affirming his own judgment.
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor: "…"
His expression turned ugly at once. Despite Undying Emperor Supreme’s euphemistic words, his meaning was still clear: his cultivation was too weak, just like Yuanmo Ancestor, and wouldn’t attract his attention at all.
Damn.
What a humiliation.
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was so angry he felt smoke coming out of his seven orifices.
How arrogant of him to think he was so great?
Once I break through to become a great emperor, you will come to know who truly is the most important person by Young Master Chen's side.
Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor felt like his lungs were about to explode.
“Alright.” Qin Chen said lightly to Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor, then turned to Undying Emperor Supreme again. He frowned and said, “Although Yuanmo Ancestor and Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor's strength is not strong, they are enough to pose a threat to Sisi. The order given to you by Empress Mingyue should be to protect Sisi. If a strong opponent from the Underworld were to intrude into the Primal Universe, how can you ensure Sisi's safety?”
This was the part that confused Qin Chen the most.
Empress Mingyue's order was to protect Sisi, yet Undying Emperor Supreme’s actions seemed to not actually protect Sisi at all. In fact, Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor and Yuanmo Ancestor almost caused Sisi's downfall, which clearly did not make sense.
Undying Emperor Supreme slowly replied, “Son-in-law, the master gave me two tasks back then: one was to guard the passage, and the other was to protect the young lady’s safety. However, protecting the young lady’s safety doesn’t mean preventing her from encountering danger. It means that even if the young lady were to fall in the Primal Universe, her soul must not be attracted to the Underworld, entering the River of the Undead. As long as she returns to the Primal Universe, she will naturally be reborn in the world of the living.”
Qin Chen was stunned: “The soul does not enter the Underworld after death? It can be reborn in the Primal Universe?”
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the Netherworld that Undying Emperor Supreme and Yuanmo Ancestor collaborated to create back then and frowned: “You mean that Netherworld…?”
