"Is the aura on this leaf somewhat familiar?"
Qin Chen squinted his eyes, looking at the leaf shimmering with endless space aura. He sensed a familiar presence emanating from it.
"My lord!" The girl struggled violently, urging the Voidless Tree Leaf, revealing a pleading expression.
Qin Chen lightly raised his hand, and before the others could see what had happened, the leaf had already disappeared from Rona's hand and appeared directly in Qin Chen's grasp.
"This lord..." The shadow's expression changed significantly upon seeing this, and he hurriedly spoke, feeling that things were not looking good.
The Voidless Tree Leaf contained a unique path of space, while its mother tree, the Voidless Divine Tree, was a treasure within the path of space. Their Skeleton Society had learned by chance about the Luo family's long-standing inheritance of the Voidless Divine Tree from the Great Horn Star Realm, which was why they had come to intercept it secretly.
Who would have thought they would encounter such a situation? If the news of the Voidless Divine Tree leaked, the Skeleton Society would be in big trouble.
"Mm?" As the shadow spoke, Saroya's dark golden eyes fell upon him, like the terrifying pressure of a mountain descending upon him, causing him to stiffen and struggle to breathe.
The shadow quickly fell silent; even though he was anxious inside, he didn't dare utter a word.
"Indeed." Qin Chen played with the Voidless Tree Leaf in his hand and couldn't help but nod slightly. No wonder he felt that this leaf was somewhat familiar; the path of space it contained was identical to the inheritance he had received from the Emperor of Void Annihilation.
The source of this leaf was very likely connected to the Emperor of Void Annihilation.
Qin Chen looked down at the girl disguised as the guard below and felt a slight stir in his heart. He said lightly, "You, come up!"
The girl felt a rush of joy; her gamble had indeed paid off.
"My lord."
A powerful member of the Skeleton Society beside them changed color and couldn't help but speak.
Saroya glanced at him indifferently, and an invisible wave swept over him. The powerful member's eyes widened as he vanished silently without a sound.
The shadow's heart raced, and he convulsed harshly. With just a glance, one of his subordinates had perished.
Other members of the Skeleton Society were also rendered speechless, drenched in cold sweat, not daring to utter a word. They could only watch as Rona broke free from their restraints and flew directly toward the back of the komodo beast, where the mysterious figure was.
"Sit!"
Looking at Rona, who had escaped death, Qin Chen spoke coldly, pointing to an empty seat in front of him.
"I..."
Rona trembled, unsure if she dared to sit on the komodo beast. But under the gaze of the mysterious man, her legs went weak, and she involuntarily sat down.
Qin Chen lowered his head and looked at the members of the Skeleton Society below. With a raise of his hand, the Fixed Space Pearl fell into his grip.
"This item is quite good; consider it compensation for disturbing this seat." Qin Chen said lightly, then turned to Saroya and said, "Let’s go!"
"Hehe, yes, my lord."
Saroya smiled honestly, glancing at the members of the Skeleton Society below. If it were him, he would have wiped out this group long ago. But since Qin Chen had spoken, he naturally wouldn't go against him or dare to suggest anything.
His massive body, like a warship, rumbled once more and flew toward the core of the Southern Source region, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a group of frightened Skeleton Society members.
"Chief, what... what should we do?"
After Qin Chen and Saroya had left, a member of the Skeleton Society finally stammered, his back soaked in cold sweat.
"What else can we do?" The shadow’s face contorted with a fierce expression, "We can only report to the president and let him decide."
The shadow raised his head, filled with panic.
Encountering such matters was beyond his capacity to handle, and only the president could resolve it. Fortunately, the other party seemed to regard the Skeleton Society with considerable caution and did not deal them a deadly blow; otherwise, they wouldn't have survived the attack from the komodo beast.
