Not only Lan Li, but all the various forces in Southern Origin City were currently analyzing Qin Chen's strength and assessing his influence.
In Southern Origin City, if an ordinary great emperor were to arrive, it wouldn't attract much attention. At most, various forces would just prepare a case for him. However, if a master close to Left Skeleton, the president of the Skeleton Society, were to appear, it would naturally require thorough study.
Such a figure could create even a slight impact on the power structure of Southern Origin City.
At the headquarters of the Skeleton Society, Left Skeleton and the others had already returned to their base, their faces pale as they confronted the situation.
“President,” Emperor Wukui said with a sorrowful expression. His aura had now dropped to the quasi-emperor realm, and his strength had diminished significantly.
Having lost the heart of the great emperor, it would be difficult for him to re-enter the great emperor realm.
“President, the Skeleton Society has lost face tremendously this time, being oppressed by a newly arrived great emperor. I, Wukui, also lost the heart of the great emperor, and you personally compensated the other party with one hundred thousand Emperor Crystals...” An old man couldn't help but speak up. He was the third vice president of the Skeleton Society, Xu Great Emperor, with cultivation at the early stage of the great emperor realm. Although he wasn't as powerful as Blood Python Great Emperor and Wukui, his status was not inferior to them.
In the Skeleton Society, President Left Skeleton generally managed the internal affairs and rarely took action, while Blood Python Great Emperor and Wukui acted as enforcers. Many of the society's assassination missions were often carried out by them. As for Xu Great Emperor, he usually handled various matters of the organization, rarely emerging in public but was undoubtedly one of the core figures of the Skeleton Society.
At this moment, his expression was dark, filled with anger.
Although he hadn't participated in the previous incident, all the information and circumstances had already reached him. He couldn't help but angrily say, “President, this incident occurred right at the city gate of Southern Origin City, with so many forces like Lan Li witnessing it. Within a day, it will spread throughout all forces in Southern Origin City...”
“If we don’t respond, our Skeleton Society's reputation in Southern Origin City will inevitably face suppression. How can we maintain our standing as one of the ten dark forces in Southern Origin City at that point?”
Xu Great Emperor's face was grim as he pressed on, “President, is that kid really that strong?”
“You can ask Blood Python and Wukui,” Left Skeleton squinted his eyes and replied calmly. “I haven't fought that kid, but Wukui and Blood Python have faced him directly.”
Wukui's face was sorrowful. “This person’s strength is unfathomable. What’s certain is that he has profound attainments in spatial law. My stealth techniques seemed nonexistent in front of him.”
“The key lies in the methods he employs,” Blood Python Great Emperor immediately added. “My Myriad Scale Armor is my strongest technique, capable of withstanding even typical mid-stage great emperors for a time. Yet in front of that kid, it felt like paper. Moreover, as Wukui said, when he struck, my great emperor body was utterly defenseless, and before I even realized what was happening, my heart of the great emperor was taken away...”
Blood Python Great Emperor shook his head repeatedly, his expression filled with horror. Reflecting on it now, he felt a faint sense of fear.
He had seen many strong figures, but this was the first time he encountered someone who struck with such peculiarity.
“Enough,” Left Skeleton said, looking into the distance. “Let this matter end here.”
Xu Great Emperor was taken aback. “President, are we just going to let that mysterious guy continue to oppress our Skeleton Society? Our reputation as one of the ten dark forces in Southern Origin City is at stake...”
