**Chapter 5523: Mother and Daughter Share a Heart**
“Master, have you changed your mind and are now planning to offer this subordinate to the Dark Moon Nether Maiden?” The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was visibly excited when he saw Qin Chen come to a halt.
Qin Chen's expression darkened; he ignored him and looked up at the horizon, frowning as he said, “It seems that someone is monitoring this place.”
“Monitoring this place?” The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor appeared astonished, “But the Undying Emperor Supreme is a great emperor level expert! Who would be so bold?”
At that moment, the Undying Emperor Supreme slowly approached.
Upon noticing Qin Chen's gaze, he was momentarily stunned: “Son-in-law, you sensed it too?”
Qin Chen nodded, frowning as he asked, “You know something.”
The Undying Emperor Supreme looked up at the endless sky, “This subordinate is also a great emperor level expert; how could I not sense someone monitoring this place? But rest assured, within the scope of Return to the Abyss Mountain, I have the Hall of Destiny and some arrangements left by the former master. Even the emperor of the four extremes might not be able to detect anything unusual here.”
Qin Chen furrowed his brows, “Who is the person?”
The Undying Emperor Supreme shook his head, “I don’t know.”
The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was dumbfounded, “You don’t know?”
The Undying Emperor Supreme looked at Qin Chen, “This person is hiding deeply. They are not personally using their power to monitor but seem to be observing the movements of Return to the Abyss Mountain with some kind of treasure. Moreover, I have been maintaining my cultivation at the third layer of pinnacle transcendence and cannot afford to expose too much, which is why I haven’t discovered their identity. But one thing is for sure, this person seems to be suspicious of Return to the Abyss Mountain but has no evidence.”
“Do you have any guesses about their identity?” Qin Chen inquired.
The Undying Emperor Supreme shook his head, smiling bitterly, “No, this subordinate hasn’t even discovered from where they are monitoring, let alone guess their identity.”
“Can’t you find out from where they are monitoring?”
Qin Chen was taken aback. He squinted his eyes, carefully sensing.
Indeed, he felt a subtle force seemingly observing Return to the Abyss Mountain, but this force was extremely elusive, making it impossible to locate.
If he were to use the eye of creation to forcefully observe, he would surely be discovered.
“Emperor of the Underworld, can you sense where this force is coming from?”
Qin Chen asked the Emperor of the Underworld in the Chaotic World.
The Emperor of the Underworld frowned, “Qin Chen, this force seems very similar to the attacks we encountered when we entered the Underworld back then. However, I cannot discern where it is coming from at the moment.”
“Is it that?”
Qin Chen thought for a moment. When he traveled through the spatial passage from the Primal Universe to the Underworld, he was ambushed, and ultimately the Emperor of the Underworld exhausted his origin to escape. Even so, he was heavily injured and banished into the Dead Sea through the void rift.
If it weren’t for this person’s attack, he feared he wouldn’t have obtained the inheritance from the god of inverse slaughter.
However, if even the Emperor of the Underworld could not sense where the watcher was, then it would be troublesome.
“Big brother, this force seems to come from the body of that river we encountered earlier.”
At this moment, Sisi looked up at the sky outside the Chaotic World and spoke.
That river earlier?
“The River of the Undead?”
Qin Chen instantly understood. No wonder he could not perceive the presence of the other party; they were using the power of the River of the Undead to sense the Underworld. How could an ordinary person detect that?
