Martial Master

After that, he trembled with excitement, his body feeling as if it were coursing with electricity.

A mid-stage pinnacle great emperor's heart! Now he was just one critical point away from becoming a mid-stage great emperor. When he previously devoured the heart of Emperor Wukui, he had a faint feeling that a breakthrough was imminent.

Now, with the addition of Shadow One's heart...

If all went smoothly, it might not be long before he could step into the mid-stage great emperor realm.

"Thank you, my lord. This subordinate will definitely follow you to the death in the future, serving you diligently," Saroya said, bowing deeply with tears in his eyes.

My lord has been too good to me. Even my father would not casually kill a mid-stage pinnacle great emperor just to let me cultivate and absorb it.

This truly feels like being reborn to my parents.

"Alright, stop pretending. Take Shadow One and collect all his treasures. We need to go out and ask for compensation," Qin Chen said with a glance at Saroya.

"Compensation?" Saroya, who was still brimming with excitement, froze in an instant. "But my lord, didn't you devour Shadow One's heart? What compensation can we ask for?"

With Shadow One's heart gone, would the Sky Outside Tower pay a ransom? It would probably only anger them, making it not worth the trouble.

"Just because the heart is gone means we can't ask for compensation?" Qin Chen glanced at Saroya. "Did you not see that my robes were pierced by Shadow One's sharp sword? My body may not be injured, but I was ambushed and my spirit was frightened. Asking for some mental distress compensation is quite normal, right?"

Saroya: "..."

He instantly understood that my lord had no intention of using Shadow One's heart as a bargaining chip for a ransom. Instead, he planned to engage in blatant fraud.

And the target was the Sky Outside Tower.

Huff!

Saroya's breathing quickened at that moment. To be honest, ever since he left the clan to train, he had been fearless in this cosmic sea because of his background. However, he had never faced a behemoth force like Heaven Beyond Heaven. After all, such forces had extraordinary backgrounds. Saroya may have been a bit naive, but he was not foolish.

But now...

Glancing at Qin Chen, Saroya felt his blood boiling. My lord is truly remarkable; he isn't afraid of the Sky Outside Tower and is ready to confront them head-on.

"What are you still dawdling for? Take Shadow One and let's go," Qin Chen stepped forward, suddenly exiting the cave dwelling and disappearing.

"Coming... coming!"

Without hesitation, Saroya used his massive claws to grab Shadow One's head, like carrying a pendant, and quickly followed Qin Chen out of the cave.

Two figures moved through the night without reservation, boldly flying directly towards the core of Southern Origin City.

At the city lord's mansion of Southern Origin City.

A young man in silver armor was receiving information.

Suddenly, the Communication Jade Slip in his hand lit up. As Mo Yunxiao scanned it with his spiritual sense, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.

"Whoosh!"

He moved like lightning towards the depths of the city lord's mansion, arriving in the great hall in an instant.

"City Lord!" Mo Yunxiao knelt on one knee outside the hall, speaking urgently.

"Come in!"

The hall opened, and Mo Yunxiao hurried inside. The old elder opened his eyes, noticing Mo Yunxiao's changed expression, and frowned, "Why are you so flustered? Remember, you are from the Mo Yun Family. In Southern Origin City, even if the sky were to fall, you must remain calm."

"My Mo Yun Family has been in control of Southern Origin City for many years. If you can't even maintain your composure in this situation, how will you govern the many forces in Southern Origin City?"

The old elder looked at Mo Yunxiao, and while he reprimanded him, it was filled with guidance and care.

"Yes... it was my mistake," Mo Yunxiao took a deep breath, his expression calming slightly.

"Alright, tell me. You rushed over here in such a hurry; there must be news," the old elder narrowed his eyes. "Seeing you so flustered, it seems there's been quite a disturbance. So, did Qin Chen and Yerosha die?"
