At that moment, as the powerful figures marveled that Jiang Chen had returned alive after venturing deep into the Wangchuan River, they finally noticed an even greater problem.
The piece of bone embedded in his chest!
It was translucent and flawless, like a divine treasure, unlike any mortal bone these powerful figures had seen throughout the ages.
"Could... could that be a Yin God Bone?" someone blurted out in astonishment.
"How ignorant!" someone immediately scoffed. "There are big shots here who have seen Yin God Bones before. Do you think they wouldn't recognize one?"
"Exactly. To give an example close to home, an ancestor of my lineage once obtained a Yin God's mortal bone. According to the records, it didn't look like that."
"Then what is it?"
"Don't tell me it's a bone from something beyond a Yin God. That's absolutely impossible!"
"Hard to say. At the very least, it must be a bone from one of the higher-ranking Yin Gods..."
Many people began discussing it heatedly, and even Supreme Powerhouses spoke up to join in.
"Whatever it is, it's definitely an extraordinary treasure. How can we let a junior from the current generation of the Nine Provinces have it?"
"Exactly. A rare treasure belongs to the worthy!"
Some people secretly steered the discussion, and everyone's gazes gradually grew heated. With enough temptation, even Jiang Chen's mysterious nature seemed to count for little.
"Junior, die!"
Xiao Changzai was even more direct. His expression shifted for a moment before he attacked.
He had hesitated because he had now lost thirty percent of his strength. Acting rashly could easily tempt the other powerhouses of his level present to make a move against him.
But after weighing it repeatedly, he still felt that this junior would pose a greater threat in the future.
