At this moment, the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor sensed a formation he had set up on Yellow Spring Mountain was being activated.
“It’s the Emperor of the Underworld…” The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor’s mind sharpened, and he suddenly awakened, feeling a chill run down his spine in an instant.
“I understand now, all of this is the doing of the Emperor of the Underworld. This old monster is actually alive and has returned, but how did he manage to do it?”
Anger and astonishment surged within the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor. Back in the day, he had personally orchestrated the fall of the Emperor of the Underworld. He had clearly sensed that the Emperor of the Underworld and the Emperor of Void Annihilation from the cosmic sea had perished together. How could he return alive now?
“The most critical point is that even if the Emperor of the Underworld could return to the Underworld, how did he evade my senses and return to Yellow Spring Mountain… Moreover, how did he get back to the Underworld? The entrances between the Underworld and the cosmic sea have already been sealed by us.”
Countless thoughts surged in the mind of the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor. Considering everything that had happened before, he gradually felt a chill in his heart.
He was an extremely clever individual; otherwise, he would not have risen to become one of the emperors of the four extremes. At this moment, all the events that occurred in the Underworld replayed in his mind.
“The Dead Sea… Eternal Calamity Sea… Soul Yueshan… Yellow Spring Mountain…”
“Could it be that the previous turmoil in the Dead Sea was also related to the Emperor of the Underworld? Did he rise to power initially from the Dead Sea? But if that were the case, why did he go to the Eternal Calamity Sea and expose himself?”
“If the Emperor of the Underworld wants to recover his strength, the best method is to directly hide in Yellow Spring Mountain, rather than making a trip to the Eternal Calamity Sea to destroy my shadow clone, the Solar Underworld Maiden, and draw our attention… No, wait?”
The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor suddenly realized: “If he hadn’t gone to the Eternal Calamity Sea, we wouldn’t have gone there either, and wouldn’t have rushed to Yellow Spring Mountain. Then he wouldn’t be able to attack Fengdu City or harm my Soul Yueshan, and naturally, he wouldn’t be able to drag me and the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan to death here.”
“Thus, once he returns to Yellow Spring Mountain, whether he directly absorbs the Yellow Spring River to recover his strength, or first acts against Yan Po Great Emperor, he would expose himself and be besieged by us, the Ten Halls of Yan. At that time, he wouldn’t be able to recover his strength in time and would become fish on the chopping block again…”
In that moment, the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor finally understood everything.
The purpose of the Emperor of the Underworld’s actions was to drag him to death here, giving himself time to recover his strength.
“No, I cannot let his scheme succeed.”
The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor was frantic with anxiety. He could now be sure that all of this was a plot by the Emperor of the Underworld, and the other party likely knew that it was he who had trapped him back then. Now, returning to the Underworld was all about revenge.
“With the intelligence of the Emperor of the Underworld, how could he lay such a trap? There must be someone hiding behind him, masterminding this. Who could it be?”
The Emperor of the Underworld’s mind raced. Could it be the Emperor of the Ten Halls of Yan?
He glanced at the Ten Halls of Yan. At this moment, the Emperor of the Ten Halls was enveloped in rage and excitement upon discovering the abyssal beings, his expression extremely agitated as he roared repeatedly.
It shouldn’t be him.
If it were the Emperor of the Ten Halls, he wouldn’t use the death of the Yama Great Emperor to lay a trap.
After all, the Yama Great Emperor was a trusted aide of the Ten Halls of Yan.
