Mo Li waved his hands repeatedly, cold sweat almost breaking out on his forehead.
At this moment, he suddenly woke up, realizing that he had almost forgotten what kind of existence this kid was.
Not to mention his own breakthrough to the great emperor level, even an Emperor of the Four Extremes like the Underworld Dark Moon Empress would obediently sing "conquered" in front of this kid.
He almost got carried away just now!
"Oh?" Qin Chen noticed Mo Li's reaction and nodded, his expression easing a bit. "So you’ve dealt with the Black Lotus Saint?"
Mo Li hurriedly nodded. "Dealt with."
As soon as he finished speaking, he subconsciously raised his hand. With a hum, a black soul phantom suddenly appeared in the cave, which was none other than the Black Lotus Saint.
Boom!
When the divine soul of the Black Lotus Saint reappeared in the cave, an overwhelming repulsive force immediately pressed down on her, causing her to let out a muffled groan and her divine soul to tremble.
It was the repulsive force of the Underworld.
For the Black Lotus Saint, transitioning from Mo Li's sea of souls to the outside world felt like going from a planet with no gravity directly to a neutron star, the intense repulsive force making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"My lord."
The Black Lotus Saint endured the pain and quickly knelt before Mo Li in respect.
Not far away, the Solar Underworld Maiden, who was being stepped on by the Emperor of Beginning Charm, saw this scene and felt despair wash over her, her expression changing as she exclaimed, "Black Lotus Saint, you actually submitted to this kid? How could this be..."
In her eyes, disbelief shone through; she could hardly believe what she was witnessing.
"Impudent." Upon hearing this, the Black Lotus Saint's face changed and she shouted angrily, "Solar Underworld Maiden, how dare you refer to a lord of the royal family as 'this kid'? What crime do you deserve for that?"
"Lord of the royal family?" The Solar Underworld Maiden's expression turned ugly, revealing shock.
The abyssal royal family, was it truly this kid who had just broken through to the great emperor level?
A strong wave of betrayal surged in the heart of the Solar Underworld Maiden. Over the years, she and the Black Lotus Saint had been merging, spending day and night together, enduring the dark and cold nights, yet now... this Black Lotus Saint had betrayed her and submitted to Mo Li. How could she accept this?
"You liar, you absolute liar," the Solar Underworld Maiden roared in fury.
Hearing her words, the Black Lotus Saint coldly snorted, "Solar Underworld Maiden, my lord is a member of the abyssal royal family, the highest bloodline of our abyssal clan. I have now submitted to him, and from now on, my lord is my master! Did you not always want to ally with our clan? Why not seize this opportunity? If you can gain my lord's favor, your future will be limitless!"
"Let me submit to this guy? No way..." the Solar Underworld Maiden retorted angrily.
In her eyes, Mo Li was merely a ghost cultivator who had just broken through to the great emperor level; the title of lord of the royal family was utterly ridiculous. The reason she had submitted to the abyssal clan all those years ago was to become the highest existence in the Underworld, but who would have thought that the Black Lotus Saint would be so easily enslaved by this kid? This made her resolve, built up over countless years, crumble instantly.
"Solar Underworld Maiden, now that even the people of the abyssal clan have submitted, speak up! What happened when the Dark Moon Empress disappeared?" Qin Chen spoke coldly.
Qin Chen was unconcerned about the Solar Underworld Maiden's collapse; what he wanted to clarify was the truth of that year.
"Who the hell are you?" the Solar Underworld Maiden roared with a twisted expression, her tone frenzied. "You think you can learn the truth from me? Hahaha, you wish."
The Emperor of the Underworld narrowed his eyes and coldly said, "Qin Chen kid, stop wasting breath with her; just perform a soul search."
