"This..."
Ke Mo and the Three-headed Sky-Splitting Beast's eyes widened. An Island Emperor from the depths of the Black Underworld River had just been beaten and sent running?
That Island Emperor looked as if he'd seen a ghost. Clearly, he hadn't expected Gaishi to be so powerful.
If even a projection could drive off an Island Emperor from the depths, how powerful must Gaishi's true body be?
"Your Majesty, Netherworld Emperor." Chi Ling wore revealing clothes, and her face was grim. She looked to Empress Chi Yue for help.
"More will come." Empress Chi Yue endured the humiliation as she spoke. Her own outfit was even more outrageous, consisting of only a few scraps of cloth.
The Black Nether Islands always helped one another. Though friction sometimes arose between them, when it mattered, they put aside old grudges.
That was one of the wills bestowed by the Black Underworld River.
No one would defy it.
The Island Emperor who'd just come wasn't strong enough? Then they'd wait for someone stronger, until someone could suppress Hua Yunfei and Gaishi!
"Still got that much energy?" Little Pagoda said. "Keep snapping! Don't stop!"
Seeing that the two women still held on to hope, Little Pagoda immediately called out and continued taking its treasured collection of portraits.
"You!" Chi Ling shouted angrily, her face dark.
"Quit barking!" Little Pagoda slapped her across the face.
"Bear with a small indignity, and you'll avoid upsetting the greater plan." Empress Chi Yue's face was overcast, but she chose to keep enduring it and wait for her chance to get revenge.
She'd already sent out the message. Before long, more Island Emperors would come to their rescue!
That would be the day Hua Yunfei, Gaishi, and the Three-headed Sky-Splitting Beast died!
"Maybe we should quit while we're ahead?"
