NOVPUBChapter 1042: Chapter 899: One of the Nine Emperors, the White Emperor! Chapter 1042: Chapter 899: One of the Nine Emperors, the White Emperor! Hu——
The next moment, the figure of Lord White Bone vanished without a trace, as though having already darted towards the core of this universe, which is to say, the location of the Heavenly Principle Tower.
“Hmm? Has Lord White Bone left? Could it be to seek out that Lin Yun?”
The Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner was momentarily startled, then quickly understood.
“Should we go over?”
At this time, the two lower echelon Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners also hastily asked.
“We… let’s not go over just yet… let’s just stay here at these two passages…”
The Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Although Lord White Bone had already stationed some subordinates in the Netherworld side of the two passages that connected this Spirit Universe, just in case Lin Yun really did come, it would not seem too impressive not to have stronger Ghost Practitioners guarding this side.
The most important thing was… throughout the journey here, Lord White Bone had used spatial powers to bring them along. This time, Lord White Bone went to Lin Yun’s side without using spatial powers to bring them along; presumably, he no longer needed them to show the way and wouldn’t need them to follow for now.
Just like when Lord White Bone came here, he brought some subordinates over, but those subordinates were all tasked with guarding on the Netherworld side of the two passages and not one entered this universe. Maybe Lord White Bone did not want too many Ghost Practitioners to know about the events occurring in this Spirit Universe.
They must be perceptive.
“Alright…”
The two lower echelon Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners nodded in response.
“Brother Mastiff, some powerful Ghost Practitioners have come this way…”
Just then, communication came from the two lower echelon Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners guarding the other passage.
“You don’t need to worry, those are Lord White Bone’s subordinates… I’ll speak to them, you just come here first…” the Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner said.
Originally, he had planned to keep the two lower echelon Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners at the other passage as a mere formality. Firstly, with Lord White Bone watching, Lin Yun might not have a chance to come over.
Secondly, now that there are powerful Ghost Practitioners guarding the other side of both passages, even if Lin Yun truly came, if they truly couldn’t stop Lin Yun, then those powerful Ghost Practitioners would take action. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
But after some thought, if Lin Yun did indeed come over, if Lin Yun went to the other passage, and if Lord White Bone’s subordinates did not care about the life or death of the two lower echelon Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners, letting Lin Yun do as he pleased with them, that wouldn’t be good.
The Netherworld is cruel; such things are not impossible.
Originally, he had confidence that the two lower echelon Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners could barely hold off Lin Yun, but now that Lin Yun had once again broken through the thirty-fifth layer of this universe, his confidence was not as strong.
These were his own brothers.
It’s better to call them over.
That way, with the five Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners, and him, a mid-tier Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner among them, guarding this passage, if Lin Yun really did come this way, their chances of holding him off would be considerable.
It was much better than being dispersed at two passages where if Lin Yun came, neither group could stop him, and they would have to rely on Lord White Bone’s subordinates to take action personally.
Soon, the five Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners gathered.
“Brother Mastiff, who exactly is this Lord White Bone…” At this moment, one of the lower echelon Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners, still reeling with shock, asked. This one was one of the two who had been guarding the other passage earlier.
They did not witness the imposing presence of Lord White Bone, but they had seen the imposing presence of Lord White Bone’s subordinates. Every single one of them had an extremely fearsome aura—they estimated that at the very least, all were at the Peak Saint Lord level, and even one or two, who held very high status, were treated with great respect by those who seemed to be at the Peak Saint Lord level, which made it hard for them to imagine the rank of the others.
Even among Peak Saint Lords, they must be incredibly formidable, right?
“This time, it was also a stroke of luck. Originally, I intended to contact another Saint King level lord. That Saint King level lord had just been subdued by Lord White Bone. After hearing the information I provided, he immediately summoned Lord White Bone…” upon hearing the lower echelon Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioner’s question, the Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner’s face also showed complex and shocked expressions as he spoke.
This time, passing the information to such a formidable ghostly powerhouse truly was beyond his expectations.
“What? That Saint King level lord, had just been subdued by Lord White Bone?” Hearing the Tri-Headed Dog Ghost Practitioner’s words, the other lower echelon Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners expressed their astonishment in unison.
Saint King level Ghost Practitioners, how terrifyingly strong must they be? And yet subdued by Lord White Bone? With that in mind, how dreadful must Lord White Bone’s power be?
“Indeed, have you not heard of the White Emperor, the latest to rise among the Nine Emperors…” the Tri-Headed Dog nodded gravely and said solemnly.
“White Emperor?” The four lower echelon Saint Lord Level Ghost Practitioners were taken aback.
In the Netherworld, the Nine Emperors were not set in stone, much like how the original Ten Halls of Yama in the Netherworld were not unchangeable—the position went to whomever was strongest.
Previously, the Netherworld’s ten strongest were the Ten Halls of Yama.
Lately, the Netherworld’s nine strongest were the Nine Emperors.
The White Emperor was the one who had suddenly emerged in the last tens of millions of years, defeating one of the Nine Emperors upon his arrival and naturally becoming one himself.
However, this White Emperor appeared quite suddenly, and after becoming one of the new Nine Emperors, he rarely took action. Thus, few Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld knew what the White Emperor looked like.
