"Deputy Commander Mihos has escaped."

"Those three monsters are dead."

"Could all of this really have been done by the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?"

Lin Yan looked at the players looting the spoils, unable to believe it for a long time.

Not to mention Mihos who escaped, even the strength of those three monsters combined could probably contend with a Bone Forging Realm expert. It's hard to imagine the martial artist disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could confront them, and even managed to kill three.

"Though it's indeed unbelievable, it's a fact. Mihos escaped, which likely means that Hall Master Lin also took action," Wu Zhuoqun sighed as he looked at the completely changed terrain below, along with the corpses of Defense Corps captains strewn across the rift. Other than a clash between Bone Forging Realm members, he couldn't think of any other explanation, saying, "These three are dead, and so many captains too. The Three-Eyed Race, Crystal Race, and Half-Scale Race will probably go mad with anger now."

In Chasing Light City, becoming a member of the Defense Corps is simple, but becoming a captain isn't easy. It requires the strength of an extreme high-tier martial artist, and without a certain talent, it's really difficult to achieve.

Now, with this many from the three races dead, it's quite a loss for them, especially since their three monsters have fallen. Many things in the wild will become somewhat difficult to manage.

"Isn't this good?" Lin Yan found it rare to smile, "Those three races relied on those three monsters to make quite a lot of underhanded moves in the wild. With these three monsters gone and so many captains dead, it'll be much easier for us to operate out there in the future."

The various races in the city aren't really living in harmony; it's just that martial artists are forbidden from fighting inside the city, creating an illusion of peace. But outside the city, they've often fought each other for resources and territory.

And in these secretive actions, no matter who suffers a loss, they can only endure it, because tearing the mask off benefits no one.

"Indeed." Wu Zhuoqun nodded with a rare agreement, then smiled and said, "Let's go back and quickly inform the elders about this."

Wu Zhuoqun and Lin Yan then promptly returned to Chasing Light City to report this stunning news to the high-level members of their race.

"Elder Xiang, this is all the information we have." Wu Zhuoqun said with deep respect to the elder, who was listening with closed eyes and meditating, "This loss is severe for those three races. They might turn hostile toward the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, especially targeting the disciples capable of killing those three monsters. They might secretly attack."

"Would they dare! Even though Old Liu is dead, I'm not gone yet!" The elder opened his eyes, his Qi and Blood surged, instantly filling the entire hall, making Wu Zhuoqun feel frozen in place momentarily.

"Elder Xiang, have you broken through?" Wu Zhuoqun asked with a spark of excitement in his eyes at the elder's terrifying surge of Qi and Blood.

Their Human Race's situation in Chasing Light City isn't great, only slightly better than the weaker races, and their voice in the city has greatly diminished.

This is all because they lack a top-level Bone Forger Realm martial artist to hold the fort.

If Elder Xiang, a seasoned high-tier Bone Forger Realm martial artist, could become a top-level one, their race's life in Chasing Light City would undoubtedly improve significantly.

"It's not that easy to break through." Elder Xiang shook his head, "Becoming a top-level Bone Forger Realm expert seems like just half a step from a high-tier one, but that half-step is a chasm. However, I have made some progress, recently achieving Second Realm Perfection in my super-tier martial technique. Though I can't match those top-level Bone Forger Realm masters, I can hold my own against them for a few moves."

"Have you reached the Second Realm Perfection in super-tier martial technique?" Wu Zhuoqun couldn't help but smile happily upon hearing this.

Although Elder Xiang hasn't broken through to become a top-level Bone Forger Realm master, achieving Second Realm Perfection in the Seventh Rank of a super-tier martial technique is noteworthy. After all, most high-tier Bone Forger Realm martial artists find it challenging to become proficient at even the First Layer of a super-tier martial technique, let alone mastering the Second Realm Perfection.

Currently, Elder Xiang can be considered halfway to being a top-level Bone Forger Realm master.

With such strength, even strong races wouldn't easily tear away the facade unless absolutely necessary. After all, a half-top-level Bone Forger Realm master has the capability to assassinate high-tier ones. If a half-top-level master focused on assassination, no race in Chasing Light City could withstand it, so naturally, they wouldn't act recklessly.

"This is nothing much," Elder Xiang said with a smile to the excited Wu Zhuoqun, "Ultimately, regaining our Human Race's former standing in Chasing Light City depends on your junior sister. If she can enter the Domain City, our race could again become one of the ten powerful tribes in Chasing Light City."

Meanwhile, as Wu Zhuoqun was reporting the news, all races and major powers within Chasing Light City received word about the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, causing an uproar.

"What did you say? Those three monsters are dead?" The refined noblewoman of the Feather Race looked at the message from the golden-furred gorilla in disbelief.

"Not just those three monsters are dead," the golden-furred gorilla of the Ape Race responded helplessly, "I also heard that Mihos from the Three-Eyed Race went there too, but he has escaped back to the city, reportedly heavily injured. Many factions now suspect that the Hall Master Lin Qi of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall might have taken action."

"Isn't that Lin Qi a novice in the Bone Forging Realm?" the refined noblewoman asked in surprise, "Mihos has been at the Middle Stage of the Bone Forging Realm for over half a year and is considered a reputable expert in that stage. How could he possibly be defeated by Lin Qi?"
