Yan Po's eyes were filled with confusion and shock as he looked at the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, his expression revealing a deep sense of doubt.
Not just him, but the other great emperors in the distance were also taken aback upon hearing that statement.
Yan Po's adoptive father? Wasn't that the Emperor of the Underworld? Didn't he fall in the cosmic sea all those years ago?
What did the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor mean by asking that? Could it be that the Emperor of the Underworld was not dead?
In an instant, countless great emperors in the distance intertwined their spiritual senses, discussing among themselves, each revealing a look of astonishment.
If it had been another great emperor asking such a question, they might not have paid much attention. But coming from one of the emperors of the four extremes, the meaning behind it was hard to ignore.
As Yan Po prepared to respond, the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and the Lord of the Ten Halls of Yan both fixed their gaze on him. Seeing the confusion in his eyes, they were both taken aback.
Yan Po's expression did not appear to be fake. Did he really not know that the Emperor of the Underworld was still alive?
But Yan Po was once the adopted son of the Emperor of the Underworld; he was openly recognized as the successor. After the Emperor's fall, he had become the actual ruler of Yellow Spring Mountain. If the Emperor was truly alive, how could he not be aware?
"You really don't know?" The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked Yan Po.
"Lord Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, I genuinely don't know. Is my adoptive father still alive?" Yan Po reacted, looking excitedly at the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and the Lord of the Ten Halls of Yan. "Please, both of you, tell me the accurate news about my adoptive father. I am deeply grateful and humbled."
As he spoke, Yan Po's voice carried a hint of excitement, and his entire body trembled involuntarily.
The other ghost cultivators in Yellow Spring Mountain were also filled with excitement, their auras fluctuating uncontrollably.
The great emperor was still alive?
This was an unexpected joy.
Many powerful ghost cultivators even had tears in their eyes.
The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor squinted and said, "Whether the Emperor of the Underworld is alive, I am not certain. However, I received news that the Emperor is currently recovering his strength in Yellow Spring Mountain. I ask that you open the great formation of Yellow Spring Mountain so that I can enter and verify the truth."
Yan Po's originally excited expression suddenly changed, and his eager gaze turned icy as he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean, Lord Five Peaks Underworld Emperor?"
The other party's purpose was clearly related to Yellow Spring Mountain.
"Nothing much," the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor replied calmly. "My brother from the Ten Halls and I received news that the Emperor has returned alive and is currently in Yellow Spring Mountain. He is one of the emperors of the four extremes of the Underworld and a good brother of ours from back then. If he is still alive, it is a significant matter not just for Yellow Spring Mountain but for the entire Underworld. We must pay him a visit."
Yan Po's expression darkened: "I have already said, my adoptive father has not returned."
The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor looked at Yan Po and sneered, "What you say does not count, Yan Po. Today, we have gathered here, and we will not retreat just because of your single word. Back in the day, we did not take any action against Yellow Spring Mountain, but today, you must open Yellow Spring Mountain. We will carefully sense it. If we do not find the Emperor, we will leave on our own."
"That's right, open it quickly, Yan Po. Don't waste time," the Lord of the Ten Halls of Yan stepped forward, his expression cold.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying killing intent suddenly erupted from his body. This killing intent was so fearsome, like a vast ocean, sweeping across the heavens and causing the entire Yellow Spring Mountain's great formation to shake violently.
