As Qin Chen successfully refined the Bridge of Helplessness, in the endless realm of the Underworld, the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor suddenly furrowed his brows while flying rapidly.
It seemed he sensed something, abruptly turning to look towards his own territory. For a brief moment, he vaguely felt a force of causation snap away from him, leaving him with a strange sense of heartache.
What was happening?
The Ten Halls of Yan Emperor was startled. At his level, such fleeting emotions were rare, and they usually indicated something special had occurred that affected his state of mind.
What exactly happened? Why did he feel an inexplicable pang in his heart, as if he had lost something precious?
His expression darkened, and he lifted his gaze, trying to peer through the endless forces of fate and causation to uncover the truth.
However, before he could glimpse anything, the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, noticing the unusual aura of the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor, suddenly fixed his gaze and coldly inquired, “Ten Halls, what are you calculating?”
Boom!
An ominous killing intent spread through the air.
The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor's eyes flickered with intense suspicion. Could the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor be hiding something from him?
With the Emperor of the Underworld suddenly returning to life, the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor began to suspect everything around him.
Although the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor had been in sync with him for years, who could tell if he had any unusual actions in secret? If there was some connection between him and the Emperor of the Underworld, it was certainly within the realm of possibility.
Knowing the ghosts, knowing the faces, but not the hearts.
He had to be cautious.
Under the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor's lurking killing intent, the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor found his calculations interrupted, his face turning gloomy. “Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, what do you mean by this?”
He felt an inexplicable sense of irritation.
“That question should be asked by me. Now that the Emperor of the Underworld has suddenly appeared, and we are racing against time to reach Yellow Spring Mountain, yet your recent actions…” The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor snorted coldly, his gaze chilling.
“What do you mean? Do you suspect this seat is in collusion with that guy from the Underworld?” The Ten Halls of Yan Emperor exploded in rage, his expression darkening. “Five Peaks, we’ve advanced and retreated together all these years, and although our relationship isn’t exactly intimate, at least our interests align. How foolish is that guy from the Underworld? How could this seat cooperate with him?”
This was a blatant insult to his intelligence.
“Let’s hope so.” Observing the rage on the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor's face, the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor felt he was not faking it and secretly sighed in relief. “You mentioned that the Emperor of the Underworld is extremely foolish, yet he has returned to the Underworld without anyone noticing and is in collusion with the Abyssal clan, which raises suspicions about what he might be hiding. Since you are not involved, let us go to Yellow Spring Mountain together to see what that guy is up to.”
The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor squinted, “You wouldn’t refuse, would you?”
The Ten Halls of Yan Emperor's expression darkened. “Five Peaks, what are you thinking? Rest assured, this seat will definitely accompany you to Yellow Spring Mountain to uncover the truth.”
With that, the Ten Halls of Yan Emperor lost the desire to continue calculating and immediately followed the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor as they rushed towards Yellow Spring Mountain. As the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor said, the top priority was indeed to stop the Emperor of the Underworld.
Meanwhile, in Fengdu City, the Yama Great Emperor stared at the empty River of Forgetfulness above, his expression turning extremely grim.
“It’s impossible.”
He let out a fierce roar, his eyes bulging in disbelief. How could the Bridge of Helplessness, which had stood for millions of years above the River of Forgetfulness in Fengdu City, be taken away just like that?
