“This…” Meng Po was completely stunned at this moment. She had never imagined that there could be such a shameless person in the world who could dismiss everything so thoroughly.
To say nothing of anything else, that Black Flame Great Emperor wasn’t an idiot; after all, he was a veteran emperor of the Underworld. How could he possibly just attack her based on a single statement from the Shadow Great Emperor?
Moreover, the most important thing was that the Black Flame Great Emperor was hiding here, secretly ambushing her, while the Shadow Great Emperor had been tracking her all along. It was evident that the two of them had never met; they had only set a plan through communication.
If they truly didn’t know each other, how could there be such trust? Did the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor think of himself as a fool?
“Great Emperor.” Meng Po quickly looked towards the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan, “This Black Flame Great Emperor is simply talking nonsense…”
“No need to say more.” The Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan raised a hand to stop Meng Po from speaking. He coldly stared at the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and sneered, “It’s simple to clarify this matter—just perform a soul search.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan extended his large hand towards the Black Flame Great Emperor. With a rumble, a gigantic Sky-Piercing Giant Hand appeared in the heavens, like a celestial curtain, and it crashed down fiercely towards the Black Flame Great Emperor.
The Black Flame Great Emperor’s expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly shouted, “Great Emperor.”
“Boom!” Before the hand of the Emperor of the Ten Halls could grab the Black Flame Great Emperor, a towering mountain phantom appeared in the heavens, radiating endless divine light. In an instant, it collided with the Sky-Piercing Giant Hand, causing terrifying pressure to sweep through, accompanied by a thunderous roar as the two forces exploded and vanished, scattering in all directions.
The Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan’s expression darkened, “Five Peaks, what do you mean by this?”
“Ten Halls, shouldn’t that be a question for me to ask you?” The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor’s face was grim as he said, “Not to mention that the Black Flame has already pledged allegiance to this emperor, even if he isn’t under my command, he is a veteran emperor of the Underworld. How could you think to perform a soul search just because you want to?”
“Humph, fine. Then I won’t perform a soul search on this Black Flame. There are so many ghost cultivators present in your Five Peaks territory; I don’t believe they all know nothing.”
Boom! The Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan raised his hand, and in an instant, terrifying forest of the underworld aura surged into the sky. The atmosphere within a radius of millions of miles instantly felt like it had entered a Shura Purgatory, filled with ghostly qi everywhere.
Lines of terrifying ghostly qi transformed into ropes, instantly extending towards the countless ghost cultivators of the Five Peaks territory present.
“Humph, settle!” The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor’s gaze darkened upon seeing this; he stomped his foot, and instantly, numerous terrifying mountain phantoms appeared, as if they had crashed out from the ancient times, heavily falling between heaven and earth within a radius of millions of miles, firmly suppressing the countless ghostly energies released by the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan.
“Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, you still claim to have no connection with the Abyssal Clan? It is acceptable that you don’t allow me to perform a soul search on this Black Flame, but you also won’t let me search the souls of these guys. What exactly are you hiding?”
The Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan coldly shouted, his gaze icy.
In this Five Peaks territory, the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor inherently had the law’s blessing, and the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan could not forcibly eliminate the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor’s subordinates nor perform a detailed soul search under his obstruction.
