Next, Qin Chen and his companions patiently stayed on Star Protector Island, waiting for news from the Jade Tiger Rakshasa.
However, three days passed without any word from the Jade Tiger Rakshasa, and they had not received a summons from the Dark Moon Nether Maiden.
In the room, Qin Chen and the others gathered together.
"Undying Emperor Supreme, it has been three days now. When will the Dark Moon Nether Maiden summon us?" Mo Li couldn't help but feel anxious.
The Undying Emperor Supreme was taken aback, "What? Are you so eager to be summoned by the Dark Moon Nether Maiden?"
Mo Li's face darkened, "Aren't I just worried for Qin Chen?"
In fact, he was concerned about the Chi Yan Demon Lord. It had been some time since the Chi Yan Demon Lord had fallen, and his soul must have long since entered the River of the Undead in the Underworld. Although the River of the Undead is the mother river of the Underworld, souls reincarnating within it do not necessarily return safely.
In many cases, they may encounter dangers.
Now that the lord crimson flame's fate was unknown, the longer he stayed here, the greater the possibility of danger for Lord Crimson Flame.
He needed to help Qin Chen complete the task quickly to head to the River of the Undead.
At this moment, Qin Chen spoke up, "Undying, why do you think the Dark Moon Nether Maiden hasn't summoned us yet?"
"Is it possible that the Jade Tiger Rakshasa is intentionally causing trouble?" Mo Li frowned. "If that's the case, it would be troublesome."
The Undying Emperor Supreme's expression turned grim, "That Jade Tiger Rakshasa is petty by nature. If he is deliberately neglecting us, we might have to wait a while. However, the young lady…"
The Undying Emperor Supreme's gaze turned cold; the young lady likely couldn't wait too long.
At this point, Qin Chen shook his head, "That shouldn't be the reason."
"Hmm?"
Everyone looked over in confusion. Qin Chen continued, "I've been observing carefully these past few days. So far, aside from us, no other ghost cultivators have been summoned. Therefore, it should not be that Jade Tiger Rakshasa is deliberately ignoring us, but rather that the Dark Moon Nether Maiden has not summoned anyone in these days."
"But if the Jade Tiger Rakshasa hasn’t intentionally neglected us, he should inform the Dark Moon Nether Maiden about our arrival. Given our relationship back then, she should summon us at the first opportunity. Why…"
The Undying Emperor Supreme furrowed his brow; he still had some confidence in this.
Suddenly, as if recalling something, he was startled, "The Dark Moon Nether Maiden isn't in the Eternal Calamity Sea, is she? Or could it be that she is in secluded cultivation?"
Upon mentioning this, the Undying Emperor Supreme's expression darkened.
The Eternal Calamity Sea had once been the main base of their master, and the Dark Moon Nether Maiden basically couldn't leave this place. This meant that there was clearly another possibility.
"If that's the case, it could be troublesome."
The Undying Emperor Supreme's face grew somber.
At their level, a retreat might take more than a day or two; it could even last for thousands of years.
How long would they have to wait?
Thinking of this, the Undying Emperor Supreme looked at Qin Chen, "Son-in-law, don't worry. I will make sure the Dark Moon Nether Maiden meets us as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned to leave, but Qin Chen called him back, "Where are you going?"
"Naturally, I will find Sister Brahma Sound and create some commotion here. I can't believe that if we stir up trouble on Star Protector Island, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden will continue her retreat," the Undying Emperor Supreme said firmly.
"Don't rush," Qin Chen's gaze flickered. "Since the Dark Moon Nether Maiden won’t be summoning us in the short term, it's not without its benefits." After saying this, Qin Chen looked towards the Eternal Calamity Sea outside Star Protector Island, "This is my first time visiting the Eternal Calamity Sea. Why not take this opportunity to investigate a bit? Once I understand the situation inside, I can think of a way to attract the Dark Moon Nether Maiden's attention."
