Martial Master

Qin Chen nodded slightly, raised his hand, and in an instant, countless waters from the Dead Sea were drawn into his body. The next moment, Qin Chen's figure flickered and he suddenly vanished along with Mo Li and the others.

Sensing that Qin Chen and the others had completely left Yellow Spring Mountain, the Emperor of the Underworld finally let out a sigh of relief. But when he glanced at the Water of the Yellow Springs ahead, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

The Emperor of the Underworld turned to look at the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor and coldly said, “Wan Gu, you were quite bold just now.”

Boom!

A terrifying pressure from the great emperor suddenly descended upon the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor, causing his body to tremble as he nearly fell to his knees.

The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor quickly said, “Emperor, this subordinate was also doing it for your good. If I hadn’t stepped up earlier, you and Young Master Chen would definitely have clashed. By then, my lord, you…”

“Do you think this emperor is no match for him?” The Emperor of the Underworld snorted coldly. “You and I know him very well. His cultivation, strength, and means are all clear to us. No matter how strong Qin Chen is, he’s only at the quasi-emperor peak. In my Yellow Spring Mountain, if he dares to act…”

The Emperor of the Underworld snorted again.

“This…” The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor said with a bitter smile, “Emperor, in terms of cultivation and strength, Young Master Chen indeed may not have the upper hand in this Yellow Spring Mountain. But in terms of background… comparing you with Young Master Chen is simply… well, I’ll stop there, lest I discourage you.”

At this point, the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor fell silent.

“Damn it, this kid’s background really is a bit troublesome…” The Emperor of the Underworld’s expression also turned sour.

He turned to the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor and said, “But that’s not a reason for you to betray this emperor, right?”

The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor quickly replied, “Emperor, you jest! This subordinate was promoted by you back in the day. No matter what, I wouldn’t betray you. It’s just that I felt that forcing a confrontation with Young Master Chen was simply not worth it.”

“How is it not worth it?” the Emperor of the Underworld said with a cold laugh.

“Emperor, think about it. You returned from the cosmic sea to the Underworld and revived in this Yellow Spring Mountain. How difficult was that? How much effort did the entire process consume? If you had perished fighting the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor and the others, that would be one thing. But if you were to offend Young Master Chen and perish right after reviving, wouldn’t that be too much of a loss?”

The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor analyzed, “Indeed, within this Yellow Spring Mountain, Young Master Chen might not be able to kill you, but it wouldn’t be easy for you to kill him either. Once he escapes, those behind him may come to trouble you. Not to mention the one behind him; just the Ancient Emperor Senior, that powerful figure in the Dead Sea or the Underworld Dark Moon Empress senior, any one of them could cause your demise, right?”

The Emperor of the Underworld said nothing.

Seeing the Emperor of the Underworld silent for a long time, the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor couldn’t help but cautiously say, “Emperor, I don’t have any other faults, just honesty. You won’t be angry with me, will you?”

The Emperor of the Underworld suddenly burst out laughing, “Hahaha, angry at you? Wan Gu, what are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?”

As he spoke, the Emperor of the Underworld embraced the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor, “The fact that you bravely stepped up earlier to speak for me in front of Qin Chen proves that I didn’t misjudge you back then.”

“This… Emperor, are you no longer angry?” The Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor was astonished.
