Immediately, he concealed all traces of himself here and cautiously retreated back into Soul Yueshan.
At this moment, he had completely brought Emperor of the Underworld and the others into the Chaotic World.
Within Soul Yueshan, the Power of the Dao surged, creating a tranquil atmosphere, and even the heavenly dao anomaly that had previously occurred did not attract any attention.
“It seems the Shadow Great Emperor hasn’t returned yet!” Qin Chen muttered.
But that made sense. With Meng Po's strength, if she were so easily captured by the Shadow Great Emperor, it would be too embarrassing and a disgrace to her illustrious reputation from ancient times to the present.
“It’s time to go. So much time has passed; the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan should have received news and are likely on their way back. If they are blocked here, it will be troublesome. It’s time to proceed to the next step.”
With a thought, Qin Chen’s figure flickered as he left the range of the myriad paths lockdown array, vanishing into the void.
Soul Yueshan remained tranquil, with no one aware of what had transpired here previously.
In the void, Qin Chen moved like lightning, traversing through the emptiness of the Underworld, extremely cautious and avoiding disturbing any existence.
“Young Master Chen, what did you mean earlier at that Abyssal Altar? What is this dark abyss lineage and spirit extinction lineage? I don’t understand at all!”
Within the Chaotic World, the Emperor of the Underworld could no longer contain his curiosity and asked, “Also, you went to great lengths to capture that abyssal being from the depths. Why didn’t you just kill it and have the Black Lotus devour it? Instead, you chose to suppress it? Isn’t that leaving a handle for others? If the Shadow Great Emperor or the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor returns, wouldn’t they quickly figure out what happened? We would be completely exposed.”
The Emperor of the Underworld was puzzled.
Qin Chen glanced at him, frowning, “You still haven’t figured it out?”
The Emperor of the Underworld was taken aback: “Figured out what?”
“Alas.”
Qin Chen sighed and couldn’t help but shake his head. No wonder this Emperor of the Underworld was the only one among the four extremes to be schemed against and fall. It truly was a deserved demise.
Something that was so simple to arrange, even Mo Li and the Black Lotus Saint could understand it instantly, yet the Emperor of the Underworld was still stuck at this point—he really didn’t know what to say.
“Forget it, Emperor of the Underworld, everyone else understands except you. Don’t overthink such a mentally exhausting matter; I’m afraid explaining it will only confuse you more and hinder your recovery. It’s better for you to regain your strength; thinking isn’t your strong suit.”
Qin Chen decisively stated.
“What do you mean? What do you all understand?”
The Emperor of the Underworld looked at the others beside him, only to see them all looking at him with expressions of disbelief.
“What’s with those looks? Can someone explain this to me?”
The Emperor of the Underworld was on the verge of madness.
“Great Emperor, can we not ask any further?” Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor approached the Emperor of the Underworld and cautiously transmitted a reminder.
“Ten Thousand Bones, what do you mean?” The Emperor of the Underworld’s expression darkened. Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was his subordinate, and now even his subordinate wouldn’t listen to him—what kind of situation was this?
“Great Emperor, Young Master Chen has his own deep intentions in doing this. Although I don’t quite understand his exact purpose, it seems to be either to set a trap for the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor or deliberately sow discord to frame him. Your probing questions might give the impression that there’s something wrong here…”
As he spoke, Ten Thousand Bones pointed to his own head.
