When he walked out of the Origin Pavilion.
The Eastern City Lord was still somewhat dazed.
The Qin Emperor!
He suddenly had a feeling that things were about to become troublesome.
Two tigers could not share one mountain!
The Human Race already had a Human Emperor, and now it had gained a Qin Emperor.
If this was handled poorly.
