Hua Yunfei looked at the smiling Eastern Region Ghost Emperor.
"You've got guts and spirit. Even that brat Nether Son wouldn't dare talk to this emperor like that. You're quite the brave one."
The Eastern Region Ghost Emperor looked at Hua Yunfei with a hearty smile. "You want to kill Wuya? Then go ahead!"
Those words made everyone's eyes widen.
Had they heard wrong?
The Eastern Region Ghost Emperor had actually agreed?
"Master... you..." Wuya's trembling voice rang out. What did the Eastern Region Ghost Emperor mean?
Hadn't he appeared to protect him?
"With so many people here, this is the perfect chance for me to clear up some rumors and keep everyone from misunderstanding."

Everyone's eyes widened in shock.

How ridiculous. They'd actually thought the Eastern Region Ghost Emperor was choosing a son-in-law for himself.
Cai'er gave a soft snort and pouted. "He finally decided to set the record straight. That awful old man is the worst."

He'd wondered why the Eastern Region Ghost Emperor, who guarded the east of the Dark World, would take a turncoat like Wuya under his wing.
So it had all been wishful thinking on Wuya's part. The Eastern Region Ghost Emperor had never truly regarded him as a disciple; he'd merely let him enjoy the title in name.
"Master, that can't be... That can't be! Master, you're joking, right? You have to be joking!"
