Chapter 83 - 80: Slaying the Petty and the Low
The sudden voice caught everyone off guard and turned their heads; gazes from all directions fixated on a figure clad in black robes.
"Hmm?"
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, as he recognized the black-robed youth—it was none other than "Soul-breaking Spear" Wei Dongliu, whom he had previously clashed with!
"What did you say? You know where they are, so why haven’t they come out yet?" Jun Shan squinted his eyes, a sharp glint flickering within them.
Wei Dongliu responded with a sinister smile, then licked his chapped lips before saying, "I’m afraid they won’t be coming out because they... they’re all dead."
"What? Dead?"
Everyone at the scene turned pale with shock, particularly the members of the Jun family and the Xia family, whose expressions particularly tightened. However, it didn’t take long for most to regain their composure, showing disbelief on their faces. Xie Guangbo scoffed, coldly laughing and saying, "Utter nonsense. The Princely Heir of the Xie family isn’t just anyone. Xie Cangsheng’s strength is unmatched among the youths of the Great Xia Kingdom—there are very few who can best him. How could he perish during the trial? If you suggest foul play, then who? Who would dare cross the Xie family?"
"Family Head Xie, do not be angered. Naturally, no one dares to challenge the authority of the Xie family, yet someone indeed dared to defy the heavens. I witnessed it with my own eyes—the heirs of the Jun and Xie families were all slaughtered. If you require confirmation, I can even help you find their bodies," Wei Dongliu said, his gaze sharp and filled with a venomous intent.
Upon hearing this, figures like Jun Zhantian and Xie Guangbo began to show concern. If Wei Dongliu could make such a claim, it was unlikely to be unfounded. Could it really be that all the young heirs, led by Jun Wuming and Xie Cangsheng, had indeed perished in the trial grounds?
"You say they were killed, but who is the murderer?" Jun Zhantian’s gaze darkened, his voice turning chilling.
