Chapter 624: Chapter 427: Damn, Why Are My Five Thunder Talismans So Strong?_2
However, Grandmaster Chengming spoke up, stopping Wang Hou.
Wang Hou said, “Senior Chengming, if we don’t make a move now, Xu Yang will be blown to death.”
Yet Grandmaster Chengming didn’t seem anxious at all. He smiled faintly and said, “The son of the Emperor is not so easy to die. Besides, if we interfere… who will guard against that person?”
“That person?”
Only then did Wang Hou notice Lord Demon, and his pupils constricted. He asked, “Where did that Netherworld Demon girl go?”
Grandmaster Chengming pointed downwards.
Wang Hou looked down, but he didn’t see any figure.
Grandmaster Chengming said, “She’s entered the Wangwu Ghost Market… She’s currently refining the essence and blood, and I’m afraid it won’t be long before she can restore her strength. With her cultivation, once she regains her peak, she will fight desperately and I fear that we will all end up dead here today.”
Wang Hou hesitated, asking doubtfully, “I noticed that demoness too, her strength is indeed impressive… She has such power even before she reaches her peak, and when she does, it is truly terrifying. But there is no essence and blood here, how will she recover… Hm?”
Halfway through his words, Wang Hou finally understood.
He looked up at the night sky and saw that the thick blood and demonic energies left by the self-destructing Netherworld Demons had vanished without a trace.
Even the essence and blood and demonic energy left by the two “Asura Realm” Netherworld Demons which had just self-destructed had silently vanished in mid-air.
Wang Hou urged his will of martial arts and closely observed, only to discover that the essence and blood and demonic energy did not disappear into thin air. Instead, they were pulled into the “void” by a mysterious force and fell into the Wangwu Ghost Market.

“Hiss!”
Wang Hou drew in a cold breath, unable to help exclaiming, “This demoness is ruthless, even refining the essence and blood of her own kind?”
As he spoke, Wang Hou’s expression turned extremely solemn.
He licked his lips, and his breath and momentum began to slowly rise, with a powerful fighting spirit gradually surging forth.
“Sigh!”
Grandmaster Chengming sighed, his purple Daoist robe rustling in the wind. He murmured, “I didn’t expect that after lying flat for so long, I would have to fight to the death today.”
…
At the same time.
In the Underworld Palace, the netherworld.
Above the boundless sea of blood.
Lord Cui, the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions, the Ten Halls of Yama, and other high-ranking underworld officials gathered together, standing beside the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu.
In the void, a mirror image appeared.
The display showed what was happening on Wangwu Mountain at that very moment.
Seeing Xu Yang being severely injured by the self-destruction of the Netherworld Demons, and realizing that the hidden demoness in the Wangwu Ghost Market was absorbing the essence and blood and demonic energy left by the self-destructing Netherworld Demons to recover her strength, Lord Cui and the others couldn’t help but feel anxious for Xu Yang.
“Your Majesty!”
Lord Cui stepped forward and said, “If this continues, Xu… Xu Yang is in danger. He has my decree on him, so shouldn’t I secretly assist him?”
Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu’s avatar “Qingyi” glared and said, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take action!”
“Wait!”
Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu spoke calmly, stopping the eager Lord Cui. He said, “You don’t need to interfere in the affairs of the mortal world.”
“But…”
Lord Cui was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He forced a smile and said, “Your Majesty, it took so much effort for Xu Yang to become immortal and regain his memory. If he dies now, can he continue to move on to his third life?”
Lord Cui had already known Xu Yang’s true identity when he collected Niu Mang during the third resurrection of spiritual aura in the mortal world.
He persuaded, “Although doing so would violate Heavenly Law, the Heavenly Emperor should know Xu Yang’s identity. If I secretly intervene… even if the Heavenly Emperor finds out, he might turn a blind eye.”
“No need.”
Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu shook his head, showing no concern. Instead, he smiled and said, “It would be better if he dies.”
Upon hearing those words, Qingyi suddenly looked up, as if she had thought of something, but she didn’t say anything more.
The Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions and the Ten Halls of Yama had a strange expression on their faces.
Better dead…
Could it be that His Majesty is dissatisfied with Xu Yang?
But as the saying goes, a tiger doesn’t eat its own children. Even if he were unhappy, the Emperor shouldn’t just watch Xu Yang march to his death, right?
The Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions and the Ten Halls of Yama didn’t know Xu Yang’s real identity. All they knew was… Xu Yang was the Emperor’s son!
As for Lord Cui, he had another idea in mind.
Better dead?
Could it be…
Is the Emperor worried that, upon regaining his memory and returning to his past life, Xu Yang will fight him for power?
Impossible!
That shouldn’t be the case! The Emperor couldn’t be that kind of person… That person had co-managed the Underworld with the Emperor for many years, and there had never been any conflict between them. Besides, given the Emperor’s nature, he’d probably be more than happy for that person to return and take charge of the Underworld. That way, he’d have more time to travel and idle around the various worlds!
Regardless of the reason.
Since the Emperor had given the order, Lord Cui couldn’t help but comply, even if he had a hundred times the courage.
Just as the great powers of the Underworld Palace gathered together…
In the heavens above,
The immortals congregated outside the South Heaven Gate, watching the battle intently.
Since Qianli Yan was present, they could naturally see the scene at Wangwu Mountain.
“Not good!”
“Celestial Master Xu is in danger!”
A Star Lord Immortal Official said with a solemn expression, “Fellow colleagues, I want to descend to the mortal world and help Celestial Master Xu… I hope that when the time comes, you can help cover for me so that His Majesty doesn’t find out immediately.”
The crowd of immortals looked at each other, and Qianli Yan couldn’t help but ask, “Lord Sirius, is it possible that you have a relationship with Celestial Master Xu? Why do you care so much about his situation?”
