It was high noon.
Beneath the earth, deep within the Underworld.
In the central region of the Underworld.
The Five Directions and Four Directions Ghost Emperors, the Ten Palace Yama Kings, and more than thirty Yin Soldier Commanders who had obtained portions of the Underworld's authority from the Yin Emperor had all gathered here.
Apart from the Central Ghost Emperor, who was present in his true form, all the others had taken the form of projections of light.
"The Human Sacred Master is in the north."
"He struck the Old God Heavenly Court with a single slash."
"If the Old God Heavenly Court had been willing to act then and hold him back, we could have surrounded and killed him."
"Unfortunately, the Old God Heavenly Court had too many concerns. Otherwise, as long as the various Old Gods attacked Nanshan Sacred Land, they could have severed that Human Sacred Master's foundation."
"When that time came, either the Human Sacred Master would hide himself and watch helplessly as the human race was exterminated, turning himself into water without a source... or he would reveal his true form, fight us to the death, and perish completely."
"But the Old God Heavenly Court is clearly wary of our Underworld, so for now they are unwilling to let the human race be destroyed. Besides, they also wish to plunder a large number of people and accumulate incense offerings as capital for the next era."
"The Old God Heavenly Court cannot be relied upon."
"But in truth, destroying the human race has never been difficult for us."
