“Cheap father-in-law? Is that you calling me? This kid recognized me?”
The Underworld Deity was startled and looked at Qin Chen, his heart stirred: “Is this a deliberate move to force me out?”
He couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Since Qin Chen had recognized him, logically, it would be most beneficial for this kid if he remained hidden in the shadows, because then he could strike at any opportunity.
Why force him to reveal himself?
Once exposed, he could no longer be a hidden hand.
Although doubtful, the Underworld Deity laughed heartily, “Hahaha, I didn’t expect that I had hidden so well, yet you little brat discovered me. Interesting! When did such a pride of heaven emerge in this abyss?”
Boom!
Endless nether qi suddenly surged out from the Underworld Deity’s body, blocking all of Qin Chen’s attacks.
“What? Underworld Deity?”
The Spirit Dao Master, who was currently restraining Mo Li, suddenly turned his head and saw the domineering and majestic figure of the Underworld Deity, his expression instantly shocked.
The Underworld Deity was hiding nearby, and yet he hadn’t sensed him at all from the beginning?
“Fortunately, it’s just a clone!”
When the Spirit Dao Master realized the Underworld Deity was only a clone, his heart slightly relaxed.
It made sense—the Underworld Deity’s true body was being hunted in the Abyss of Eternal Silence by the Master of Destruction Path, so theoretically, there was no chance for him to escape. Moreover, with the Master of Destruction Path’s power, if the Underworld Deity had only left behind a clone in the abyss, it definitely wouldn’t fool the Master.
However, even if it was just a clone, if it struck at a critical moment, it could still cause him trouble.
Thinking of this, the Spirit Dao Master couldn’t help but glance at Qin Chen.
“Thanks to this person, when did the Master of Destruction Path’s forces have such a strong figure? That Underworld Deity clone must have been lying in ambush for a long time here. Even I, the Path Master, didn’t notice it at first, but this kid actually managed to detect its trace?”
There was no denying that the Spirit Dao Master felt more admiration and gratitude towards Qin Chen at this moment.
“First, capture this guy.” The Spirit Dao Master ignored the exposed Underworld Deity and unleashed countless Spirit Saint powers that transformed into endless spatial bindings, wrapping around Mo Li.
Boom!
On the other side, Qin Chen and the Underworld Deity were fiercely battling, the vast power of destruction and nether qi constantly colliding and intertwining into terrifying noise.
During the fight, the Underworld Deity quickly transmitted his voice to Qin Chen, “Kid, you actually discovered my trail so early, how did you do it?”
He looked surprised.
The Underworld Deity had always prided himself on hiding extremely well. Although exposed now, theoretically, with Qin Chen’s strength, he shouldn’t have been able to sense his presence.
Qin Chen smiled and transmitted back, “Senior, your aura is extraordinary. Even in the darkness, it shines brightly like a firefly. How could such a small Core Territory of the Master of Destruction Path possibly conceal your radiance?”
The Underworld Deity’s expression froze.
This guy was truly talented and spoke quite flatteringly.
He had expected someone with this level of cultivation at such an age to be aloof, but to his surprise, the kid immediately called him “cheap father-in-law” and “senior,” sounding quite gentle.
“You’re not bad at flattery,” the Underworld Deity said, as if drinking a gulp of ice water on a scorching day, feeling extremely pleased inside. “But don’t think that saying a few nice things will settle this matter.”
He said sternly, “Do you know that your little stunt exposed me and directly ruined my original plan? Unless you give me an explanation, even if you’re the man Sisi recognizes, I won’t go easy on you.”
