Chapter 628: On the Run
The news of Gu Xinghe’s death, a candidate Patriarch of the Gai Family, also spread rapidly.
Ordinary Martial Artists might not know because their status made it difficult for them to access information at this level. However, those Great Families and major powers received the news quite easily.
At first, everyone found it hard to believe that it could be true.
On this continent, someone actually dared to kill a candidate Patriarch of the Gai Family.
But soon enough, the news was confirmed.
For a time, many people were glad to hear it. Regarding Jing Yan, who had killed Gu Xinghe, their curiosity grew even stronger.
After the Alchemy ceremony, Jing Yan’s fame had grown significantly, and those Great Families and powers had all paid some attention to him. It wasn’t until Hu Donghe, the City Lord of Pill Spirit City, gave Jing Yan the Guest Token that most of them abandoned the idea of targeting Jing Yan.
But they did not expect that, soon after, Jing Yan would make such a big fuss again, actually killing Gu Xinghe, the candidate Patriarch of the Gai Family.
The Seven Great Families, Cheng Family.
"The Gai Family really lost face this time! Even their candidate Patriarch has been killed."
"That old guy Gu Wanquan must be steaming with rage. Gu Xinghe was his own grandson, after all. But I must say, that old fellow is really something; he’s lived to over a thousand years old and still managed to father children. His son is also several hundred years old and only then did he have Gu Xinghe as his descendant."
Some of the Cheng Family’s higher-ups gleefully discussed the Gai Family’s misfortune.
