Chapter 164: The Life-Slaughter Demon Lord (4)
"Cheng Wu is dead… He was one of my chess pieces planted in the Sword Pavilion. Ten years from now, an ancient saint's ruins will appear near Sword Pavilion. Cheng Wu was supposed to obtain the inheritance inside and become one of my capable subordinates. How could he die just like that?"
Xiao Sha felt deeply puzzled. In his previous life, Cheng Wu had indeed died, but only after obtaining the inheritance from the ancient saint's ruins.
Why had he died at this particular point in time?
"Could it be a change caused by my rebirth?"
Xiao Sha knew that his actions after rebirth had altered far too many events. Perhaps a mistake in some link had led to Cheng Wu's death. Still, he needed to confirm exactly who had killed Cheng Wu.
Unfortunately, the spies Xiao Sha sent to investigate spent several months at the scene and could only conclude that the killer was most likely a powerhouse above the Profound Connection realm. The purpose seemed to be using Cheng Wu as bait to draw out the pavilion master of Sword Pavilion. Cheng Wu had simply been an unlucky victim who died by accident.
No matter how hard Xiao Sha racked his brains, he would never guess that the person who killed both Cheng Wu and the pavilion master was a thirteen-year-old boy. Because of the butterfly effect, one of his chess pieces had died. Although Xiao Sha cared, he did not take it to heart. His secret as a reborn person was destined to carry him to the peak. All obstacles would be crushed by him in their cradle. He was the invincible one!
