Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look towards the Yan Po Great Emperor, their eyes filled with excitement. At the same time, their gaze towards the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor became much more agreeable.
Such words were not unprecedented in their hearts, but they had never dared to speak them out loud, only the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor had the courage to say them.
At this moment, everyone seemed to understand the earlier teasing of the emperor’s maid, Zitan, by the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor. After all, it was only natural for someone with such genuine character to act that way after drinking.
Feeling the crowd's gaze, the Yan Po Great Emperor's expression suddenly turned grim.
This Ten Thousand Bones really had a knack for picking the wrong topics.
Over the years, he had been secretly trying to control the Yellow Spring River but had been unable to do so. It was far more painful for him to open the Yellow Spring River to others than to be killed.
In the Yan Po Great Emperor's eyes, ever since the Emperor of the Netherworld left, this Yellow Spring River had already become his private possession.
Seeing everyone looking at the Yan Po Great Emperor, the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor paused slightly: “What are you all looking at Little Yan for? Is it true that the Yellow Spring River is already under Little Yan's control?”
At this point, a look of realization appeared on the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor's face: “No wonder Little Yan could break through to the great emperor realm; it turns out he has taken control of the Yellow Spring River. Well, if that's the case, then my previous suggestion was indeed abrupt.”
“That’s true. Little Yan currently resides in the palace of the wanderer, entering the Yellow Spring River is quite simple for him. After so many years of comprehension, mastering it would come naturally.”
“It was my misunderstanding before.” The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor shook his head and said: “Since the Yellow Spring River is already under Little Yan's control, it belongs to him. Even if we want to comprehend the great path rules within it, we must seek Little Yan's permission first.”
Saying this, the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor sighed: “No wonder after the great emperor left, our Yellow Spring Mountain has never been breached by other powerful beings. It turns out Little Yan has been silently and selflessly protecting us from the storm. Little Yan, you’ve worked hard. Although I am your elder, I must toast you a cup today.”
As soon as the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor finished speaking, he immediately picked up the wine jug and gulped it down with great excitement.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Yan Po Great Emperor’s face instantly turned extremely ugly. If he didn’t clarify things now, it would truly be a case where reason could not be made clear.
“Ten Thousand Bones, that Yellow Spring River is a treasure left behind by the great emperor. Before the news of the great emperor comes back, how could this emperor dare to easily refine it for comprehension? You mustn’t speak carelessly.” The Yan Po Great Emperor said in a deep voice: “The reason I broke through to the great emperor realm was all due to my own efforts, not the Yellow Spring River.”
“Eh? Not because of the Yellow Spring River?” The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was taken aback and involuntarily looked towards the other attendees.
Everyone also nodded in agreement.
The Nine Netherworld Demon Lord smiled and said: “Brother Ten Thousand Bones, it is indeed true that Lord Yan Po's breakthrough to the great emperor realm relied on himself, and not on the Yellow Spring River. The Yellow Spring River is still ownerless, merely providing power for our Yellow Spring Mountain formation.”
“Exactly, the Yellow Spring River was left behind by the great emperor. Who among us would dare to easily refine it for comprehension?” The Eight-Faced Ghost Ancestor nodded with a smile.
