Upon hearing this, Wu Hao, who stood nearby, instantly turned to stone. His expression went blank, and he kept muttering under his breath.
"A Venerable... Venerable Ghost... the Netherworld Hall..."
Wu Hao had only thought Hun Changqing was a Dou Zong expert ranked even higher than the First Elder. He had never dared to imagine him reaching the level of Dou Zun.

Countless gazes burning with envy and jealousy shot toward Wu Hao. They all wished they could pierce him through with their eyes and take his place.

A gleam flickered in their eyes as they quietly made their plans, engraving the names Venerable Ghost and Netherworld Hall deep in their hearts.
Wu Hao soon snapped out of his daze as well. He immediately dropped to one knee, cupped his fists, and addressed Hun Changqing
