An Hao's subordinates had not seen Ye Jiushang in person, but just from the voice, they knew that it was definitely the Nether King.
It was over, it was over. From the Nether King's tone, it was equivalent to giving them the death penalty. Although the consort said that she only wanted them to go to the Desolate Region to do some 'labor', anyone with brains could guess that that was definitely not a good thing.
If they had known this would happen, they would not have stood up for An Hao.
If they had known that Xue Fanxin was really the Nine Nether Consort, they would have curried favor with her back in that lousy place.
If they had known…
How could there be anyone in the world who knew?
