The Skeleton Gang was only a second-rate organization in the Bloodsin City, but they were still an organization that had established themselves. Just that feat alone proved that they were no pushover.
Their leader was a person called Tian Yiqi, also known as the Celestial Skeleton. He was a peak Emperor cultivating an extremely odd cultivation method granting him an extraordinary combat prowess. He had two powerful underlings known as Earth Skeleton and Human Skeleton, both ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivators.
Presently, the Skeleton Gang members were gathered together. All of them were dressed in clothes with skeleton emblems, creating a sinister atmosphere at their place of gathering. Seated on the main seat was Celestial Skeleton, a tall and slim middle-aged man. A chilly, baleful aura lingered around him, and his eyes were constantly pulsing with a dreadful green radiance that made them look like two clumps of ghostfire.
Seated to his left and right were Human Skeleton and Earth Skeleton. Both were constantly emanating an aura of ruthlessness and bloodl.u.s.t. Apart from them, about a dozen Emperors were also gathered in the room, each of them a late-stage Emperor. These were the elites of the Skeleton Gang. There had to be a reason for all of them to be gathered here today.
”Leader, based on the information we have obtained, a large number of Han Clan people have entered the Devil Domain, and the two sisters have been left behind,” reported one of them respectfully.
”Where are they now?” asked Celestial Skeleton with a l.u.s.ty look in his eyes.
He had noticed the Han Clan sisters when the two had first arrived at the city. Both of them were extreme beauties, and they also possessed the Yin Frost Physique. With the dual-cultivation technique he cultivated, they would be perfect to help him gather sufficient yang energy and push himself into the Sovereign Realm.
That was why he had been sending people to pay close attention to the Han Clan recently. The people in the gang thought that he coveted the two women for their beauty, oblivious to the fact that he had a completely different motive.
”They are currently at the Han Clan turf,” replied the same person from before.
”Excellent. Tonight, we will purge the Han Clan. I want to capture the sisters alive,” said Celestial Skeleton in excitement.
At this time, Earth Skeleton spoke, ”Boss, the Han Clan ancestor is a Sovereign. How will we withstand his wrath if he finds out what we did?”
”This is the Bloodsin City, not their home base. Even if their ancestor does decide to come, they still won't be able to easily touch us. In any case, I might have already formed my soul foundation by then. What is there to fear about that ancestor?” said Celestial Skeleton in an overbearing manner.
”Boss, you found a way to build your soul foundation?” asked Human Skeleton in excitement.
”You will know the answer soon. Just get ready. We will make a move on them tonight,” said Celestial Skeleton.
...
Han Clan, Bloodsin City.
Han Clan was a top tier-5 organization from Yu Province. Their ancestor was a Sovereign, and they only needed another Sovereign to rise among their ranks to become a tier-6 organization. In comparison, the Dong Clan of the Five Denseforest Cities was only an early tier-5 organization. There was quite a gap between the two's strength.
How had the Han Clan grown so rapidly? By having the courage to temper their young at the Bloodsin City. They had a branch at the Bloodsin City and would periodically send some of their young there to enter the Devil Domain and hunt for devils.
Although the casualties had always been high, the survivors had all eventually turned into strong individuals capable of standing their own. This way of tempering had greatly boosted the number of Emperors in their clan.
