A sound like cloth being violently torn apart reached their ears.
It not only drew Lu Li's attention, but also made the Soul Guards and Soul Generals in the Soul Realm abruptly fall silent.
In their shared vision, a tear suddenly split open in the sky above Rotting Whisper Swamp.
Several grotesquely deformed hands reached out from the spatial rift, cautiously clawing at its edges like thieves, utterly devoid of the arrogant bearing they had displayed in the Great Wasteland.
"They already made such a huge noise, so why are they still being so careful? Isn't that a contradiction... They might as well just come out properly..."
Whenever Xing Anlin had something to mock, he never held it in overnight.
Zhou Muli immediately chimed in, "Doesn't look very smart..."
"When he becomes our colleague later, Brother Anlin, you have to teach him a harsh lesson!"
"Only after receiving Brother Anlin's education can we become valuable currency in the boss's hands!"
"Ah—everyone's working for Brother Li. We'll do whatever Brother Li commands!" Xing Anlin was very pleased by Zhou Muli's flattering support, putting on a humble expression.
In reality, the corners of his upturned mouth were nearly impossible to suppress.
Lu Li did not join in the Soul Guards' and Soul Generals' conversation again, merely watching quietly.
To be honest, Sun Minjie's actions so far matched the request he had sent to Octopus Lady—
Make a grand spectacle of it.
But his acting... was a little clumsy.
Hopefully, he would not give himself away.
The demons hidden within Rotting Whisper Swamp had clearly noticed the commotion in the air as well.
But since the Demon King had not moved, they would not act on their own.
Like Lu Li, they waited quietly.
Sun Minjie looked around in midair for a moment.
