In the Underworld, within the Zhong Family.
News that the newly appointed Fengdu Ghost Emperor was about to attack the Zhong Family had long since caused an uproar.
Many Zhong Family disciples awaited him with grave expressions.
Meanwhile, the Zhong Family's senior members were also discussing how to counter Chu Kuangren's impending assault.
A small minority advocated peace.
After all, even the Zhong Family patriarch, a Great Golden Immortal, had died at Chu Kuangren's hands, showing that this Fengdu Ghost Emperor possessed considerable ability.
However, most of the Zhong Family's senior members still advocated battle.
"Our Zhong Family has stood in the Underworld for so many years, and no one has ever made us surrender and sue for peace. Not even the Fengdu Netherworld can do that."
"Exactly. Surrendering and suing for peace would disgrace our family's traditions. If word got out, how could our Zhong Family ever show our faces again?"
"That's right. The Fengdu Ghost Emperor is merely a young World Child. In my opinion, he probably holds several Reincarnation Emperor Seals. He only managed to kill the patriarch by relying on their power in Fengdu and the help of that skeleton general. But this is our Zhong Family's territory!"
"His Emperor Seals only work on ghost cultivators. They're useless against us!"
"As long as we find a way to hold the Fengdu Ghost Emperor in check and prevent him from using his Ghost Emperor Authority, we can still fight this battle."
The Zhong Family's senior members all talked over one another. After settling on a strategy, they began their preparations.
The elder who advocated peace sighed softly. For some reason, a faint unease lingered in his heart.
"Zhong Feng, there's no need to worry. If the Fengdu Ghost Emperor dares come, our Zhong Family is no pushover.
