Chapter 240: Return to the Cave, Hunt the Sky Centipede!
With Liu Sheng's deliberate efforts to spread rumors, news of Zhang Yue maliciously ambushing and killing the president and vice president of the Longcheng Empire Guild—leading to President Xu Bei's permanent death—quickly spread across Tianjing and even Longcheng.
Online, countless netizens debated the issue.
Opinions varied, with some believing Zhang Yue, while others harshly criticized him.
["Is this real or fake? What motive would Zero have? Why would he kill someone from the Empire Guild?"]
["I heard it was out of jealousy over Xu Bei's status and talent. Xu Bei came all the way from Longcheng to protect him, but Zero turned around and killed him out of envy! Truly a heartless killing machine!"]
["Exactly! I even used to think of Zero as my idol. Who knew he'd be such a narrow-minded scumbag?"]
["Don't jump to conclusions so soon. I've heard of Zero's deeds. He doesn't seem like the type to resent the rich. Maybe there's some misunderstanding here?"]
["Misunderstanding? With so many eyewitnesses from the Empire Guild, how could it be a misunderstanding? I heard the upper ranks of the Empire Guild have already issued an order to mobilize their elite forces to hunt Zero in Tianjing. Would they act without solid evidence?"]
["I also heard Zero defeated many prominent guilds and families in Zhejiang and Zhening. Even the two major guilds in Tianjing—Glory and the Chen Army—were crushed by him. The Empire Guild might not be able to handle Zero either."]
["You're overestimating. Zhejiang and Zhening's small guilds, or Tianjing's so-called Three Great Families, can't compare to our Empire Guild in Longcheng. The Empire Guild is a top-tier guild under Ice Emperor's command, with professionally trained elites. No matter how strong Zero is, he can't possibly fight against the Empire Guild."]
"[Killing Ice Emperor's disciple? Looks like even if the Asura God came back to life, he might not be able to save Zero this time!"]
