At this moment, the Emperor of the Underworld's eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.
Previously, he had sensed a familiar aura, which belonged to one of the Four Extremes Emperors in the Underworld, the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan. Even if turned to ash, he would still recognize that aura.
But wasn't the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan supposed to be at his Yellow Spring Mountain? How could he appear in the Netherworld and the border region of the Five Peaks Territory?
“Qin Chen kid... ” The Emperor of the Underworld quickly spoke up.
“Shut up.”
Before the Emperor of the Underworld could finish his sentence, Qin Chen's expression changed dramatically, and he suddenly yelled, interrupting the Emperor.
The Emperor of the Underworld was taken aback: “You…”
Qin Chen's face was serious as he said in a deep voice, “Don’t speak. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if we get discovered.”
“Discovered?” The Emperor of the Underworld frowned, still puzzled, when suddenly his pupils shrank again.
Boom! In the distance, a terrifying aura swept over. This aura was magnificent and overwhelming, carrying a heart-stopping force that resembled an ancient mountain rushing out from the primordial world, following the path the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan had taken, instantly crossing the vast sky.
Boom!
That terrifying Emperor's aura swept through like a raging ocean. The overwhelming power of the Emperor made countless ghost cultivators below tremble uncontrollably, their primal sources surging wildly, feeling as insignificant as ants.
“The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor... this guy...”
The Emperor of the Underworld's pupils shrank again, revealing an expression of disbelief. No wonder Qin Chen didn’t want him to speak; at the level of the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, his spiritual sense was terrifying. In an instant, he could sweep across thousands of worlds. If he even leaked out the slightest trace of aura, it could be captured by him.
Fortunately, under the suppression of the heart of space in Qin Chen’s Chaotic World, the Emperor of the Underworld's aura was greatly retracted and went unnoticed.
The figure of the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor came quickly and left just as fast, vanishing from sight in the blink of an eye.
This time, the Emperor of the Underworld dared not speak recklessly anymore and simply waited in silence.
Meanwhile, Qin Chen didn’t act impulsively; he carefully listened, as if sensing something. After a long while, when no energy was approaching, he quickly left the Chaotic World.
“It seems that both the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan have been drawn away. Let’s go.”
Qin Chen's gaze flickered as he put away the monitoring plate and transformed into a streak of light, rapidly darting in the opposite direction of the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor.
In the Chaotic World, the Emperor of the Underworld couldn’t help but frown and said, “Qin Chen kid, what was that just now… what happened?”
His expression was shocked, filled with confusion and curiosity.
Didn’t the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan go to the Yellow Spring Mountain? How come... they all returned?
Qin Chen was too lazy to explain and frowned at Mo Li, saying, “Mo Li, you explain it to him.”
Mo Li: “…”
He glanced at the Emperor of the Underworld with a somewhat speechless expression but helplessly opened his mouth, “The reason the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan and the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor rushed back to their territory is naturally because of Meng Po.”
“Meng Po?”
“Otherwise, what could it be?” Mo Li’s eyes sparkled with amazement, “I thought Qin Chen brought Meng Po to Soul Yueshan just to frame the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and clear our suspicion. It seems now that Qin Chen has a plan within a plan.” He murmured, “Not only did Qin Chen shift Meng Po’s suspicion onto the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor’s faction, but he also led Meng Po to discover the tracks of the Abyssal Clan, while making the Shadow Great Emperor aware of Meng Po’s existence.”
