The sect master, Hu Yang, was indeed very distressed, as were all the members of the Ghost Leaf Sect, to the point of spitting blood.
If the Ghost Leaf Sect hadn't schemed to disrupt the Divine Woman Sect's previous plan to invite Emperor San Shi, they might have won now. Moreover, to disrupt the Divine Woman Sect's plan, the Ghost Leaf Sect paid a large sum of resources to Emperor San Shi.
But this can't be blamed on Emperor San Shi; the blame lies solely with the Ghost Leaf Sect themselves.
"May I know where Mr. Jing Yan hails from?" Hu Yang looked at Jing Yan, speaking much more politely now.
"From the Human Territory," Jing Yan responded.
"I thought as much. In the All Paths World, a powerhouse like Mr. Jing Yan, even if I haven't seen him, I must have heard of him. So, Mr. Jing Yan is a powerhouse from the Nine Great Divine Realms of the Human Territory," Hu Yang nodded heavily.
Jing Yan smiled briefly and didn't say more.
