The Five Peaks Underworld Emperor's face was filled with anger, but his heart was overwhelmed with joy. The arrival of the Emperor of Hidden Darkness had unexpectedly provided him with a perfect opportunity.
He immediately exclaimed in astonishment and rage, "Everyone, the Emperor of Hidden Darkness has confirmed that the Emperor of the Underworld colluded with abyssal beings to disrupt the operation of our Underworld. Now, what do you all have to say?"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted from the Five Peaks Underworld Emperor, forcefully suppressing the Emperor of the Underworld.
The others also looked at the Emperor of the Underworld in shock and anger.
Allowing abyssal beings to infiltrate the core of the River of the Undead—was this meant to destroy their entire Underworld?
Although the River of the Undead was incredibly vast and terrifying, ordinary abyssal beings might not be able to destroy it. However, if they succeeded, the entire Underworld would plunge into doom.
Under the fury of the crowd, the Emperor of the Underworld's expression changed. He wanted to explain, but before he could speak, he saw the Emperor of Hidden Darkness suddenly exclaim in surprise, "Abyssal beings? What abyssal beings?"
The Ten Halls of Yan Emperor frowned at the Emperor of the Underworld and said, "You mentioned that outsiders infiltrated our River of the Undead. Could it be that they're not abyssal beings?"
"Naturally not." The Emperor of Hidden Darkness shook his head with a bitter smile. "It was a powerful being from the world of the living."
"A powerful being from the world of the living?"
Everyone was taken aback. "Didn’t you say this matter was related to the Emperor of the Underworld?" The Emperor of Hidden Darkness looked at them in confusion. "It is indeed related to the Emperor of the Underworld. The powerful being from the world of the living who infiltrated the River of the Undead is the very same person who brought the Emperor of the Underworld back. Did the Emperor of the Underworld not mention that he was brought back by a powerful being from the world of the living?"
"The Emperor of the Underworld was able to return alive from the cosmic sea because he was brought back by a powerful being, not because he colluded with abyssal beings?" Everyone looked at the Emperor of the Underworld in surprise.
This was the first time they had heard the Emperor of Hidden Darkness's explanation.
Upon hearing the words of the Emperor of Hidden Darkness, the Ten Thousand Bones Underworld Ancestor and the Emperor of the Underworld exchanged glances, instantly understanding who the Emperor of Hidden Darkness was referring to.
"Young Master Chen, he actually went to the River of the Undead? And did not return to the Eternal Calamity Sea?"
The two furrowed their brows slightly, deep in thought.
Indeed, the soul of the Little Demon Prodigy's lover was in the River of the Undead. Young Master Chen had promised to rescue his lover, and given Young Master Chen's character, it was quite possible he would go directly to the River of the Undead to save his beloved.
"Does this mean that, according to the Emperor of Hidden Darkness, something went wrong in the River of the Undead while Young Master Chen was retrieving the Little Demon Prodigy's lover?"
Upon thinking of this, the Emperor of the Underworld was immediately startled. "With Young Master Chen's current strength, he cannot possibly retrieve someone from the River of the Undead. If he forcefully attempts to retrieve someone, he will definitely face backlash from the River of the Undead. Generally, if a great emperor suffers backlash and falls, that is the end. But what kind of person is Young Master Chen? If the power within him were to explode and cause problems to the operation of the River of the Undead, then..."
The expression of the Emperor of the Underworld immediately became serious. He strongly suspected that the problems occurring in the River of the Undead mentioned by the Emperor of Hidden Darkness were very likely caused by Qin Chen.
