Upon hearing this, Jade Tiger Rakshasa glanced in surprise at the Dark Moon Nether Maiden.
The empress was acting unusually today! Having followed the Dark Moon Nether Maiden for many years, Jade Tiger Rakshasa naturally understood her habits. Under normal circumstances, after meeting with a ghost cultivator for training, the Dark Moon Nether Maiden wouldn't directly "guide their cultivation" immediately but would wait a while before gradually providing pointers.
Moreover, even if she were to give guidance, it would be one by one, and it would never be done for so many ghost cultivators at once. But today...
Jade Tiger Rakshasa couldn't help but ask, “Your Majesty the empress, should I bring all the submitted ghost cultivators over?”
“What? Do you want me to say it again?” The Dark Moon Nether Maiden shot her a cold glance, her expression filled with a murderous aura.
Seeing this, Jade Tiger Rakshasa's heart raced, and she dared not ask further. She immediately bowed respectfully and replied, “Yes!”
After saying this, without another word, she hurriedly led Qin Chen and the others deep into Dark Moon Isle.
“Everyone, please take a rest here at Dark Moon Isle. Later, I will summon you one by one,” the Dark Moon Nether Maiden said to Undying Emperor Supreme and the others before turning and disappearing from sight.
“Son-in-law, you must be extra careful,” Undying Emperor Supreme murmured, watching the departing figures of Qin Chen and the Dark Moon Nether Maiden, feeling a wave of worry. Although he wasn't clear about the Dark Moon Nether Maiden's purpose for continuously searching for special ghost cultivators, having practiced in the Underworld for many years and knowing the Dark Moon Nether Maiden relatively well, he had a vague suspicion that the ghost cultivators being submitted under the Dark Moon Nether Maiden might not be in as favorable a situation as the outside world imagined.
Perhaps what they were about to face would be something they had never even imagined before.
After all, logically speaking, even if the Dark Moon Nether Maiden wanted to find some favorites over the years, it wouldn't necessitate a continuous search for so long; that was too illogical. Although the land may not be plowed, it must be allowed to recover.
“Son-in-law, everything depends on you,” Undying Emperor Supreme whispered, knowing that outside, he wouldn't be able to provide much help to Qin Chen and could only keep an eye on the situation from afar.
At this moment, the guards of Dark Moon Isle also led Undying Emperor Supreme and the others to a palace on the island.
Around the palace, an ancient formation lingered, exuding a terrifying and chilling aura that made everyone's hearts race with trepidation. Those who could come here were all transcendent-level giants, but in front of this palace formation, everyone felt a sense of insignificance, indicating that the formation enveloping this palace was at least quasi-emperor level, if not emperor level.
“Everyone, this is your resting place. Dark Moon Isle is heavily guarded, and without permission, please do not leave the palace even a step; otherwise, if anything happens, we will not take responsibility,” the guard leader said coldly before instantly turning and leaving.
This... are we being imprisoned?
The powerful figures brought to Dark Moon Isle exchanged glances. However, they were mentally prepared. Being able to come to Dark Moon Isle was already a rare opportunity; if they could roam freely here, that would be a surprise.
After some contemplation, everyone dispersed, but Undying Emperor Supreme remained silently gazing at the sky above Dark Moon Isle, the direction where Qin Chen and the others had departed.
At this moment, Sister Brahma Sound slowly approached Undying Emperor Supreme's side. Undying Emperor Supreme immediately snapped out of his thoughts and hurriedly smiled, “Hehe, Sister Brahma Sound, are you here at Dark Moon Isle to submit to the Dark Moon Empress as well? If so, we might be partners again after countless years apart.”
