Lu Chen felt incredulous after hearing the words of the Returning Ruin Realm cultivator in the purple robe.
However, Lu Chen quickly understood what was happening.
How could Emperor Shenwu have perished so easily? Clearly, Emperor Shenwu had found a body for reincarnation and likely succeeded in possessing a certain Prince by now.
Just as Lu Chen was thinking this, someone exclaimed in surprise, "You dare utter the Emperor's name directly?! Could he really have died?"
An Emperor cannot be insulted; when someone utters the Emperor's name, the Emperor can perceive it personally.
For instance, if someone insults Emperor Xia, Lu Chen could immediately sense the insult and determine the person's location.
Therefore, ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to utter the name of a living Emperor. If someone dared to say the Emperor's name, it suggested the Emperor had indeed fallen and had no deterrent power.
