Suddenly, I remembered—the corpse that Emperor God and his allies had hidden. Lord Tai Shan wanted me to destroy it at the time, but I failed, and they took the body away.
Immediately, John Chou started laughing, then burst into loud laughter, his voice growing louder and louder. I looked at him, confused, while Xu Fu grinned wickedly.
"It was you, wasn't it, Xu Fu—the Wraithlord's corpse?"
"Ethan Zhang, you don't seem to believe what I'm saying!"
"This was the major problem that surfaced after Zhuang Xian took away the body in Tantan, and it's the main reason we can't continue cooperating with the Dark Banquet."
After arriving in the Shadow Realm, Xu Fu's notorious reputation quickly got him admitted into the research facility by Emperor God and his allies. He was granted certain privileges and joined them in studying how to resurrect the Wraithlord.
Xu Fu's scientific talent was a double-edged sword for Emperor God and his allies. Xu Fu was always cautious, knowing he couldn't compete with the three gods of the Shadow Realm. He was well aware of their strength.
Our previous investigations had led nowhere, but at the moment Xu Fu was on the verge of death, the people from the Dark Banquet intervened. After helping Xu Fu, they revealed the existence of the Shadow Realm to him.
"Those three still wet behind the ears wanted to resurrect their father. Because they were so caught up in the joy of their impending success, I was able to pull off the feat of swapping the Wraithlord's body with my own experimental subject. It took hundreds of years, and only when Ethan Zhang arrived did I finally find my one chance. I really have to thank you, Ethan Zhang."
I glared at Xu Fu, my eyes wide with anger, but he quickly sighed and shook his head helplessly.

So he chose to obey everything the three of them said, and for hundreds of years, nothing ever happened.
