Chapter 750 Gu Wanquan’s Expectations
Upon receiving a report from the Sixth Hall Master, Saint Master Shen Chong hurried from the Holy Palace, yet he did not witness the scene he had envisioned in his mind.
Where was Tong Yue?
Had he already fled?
Shen Chong had also considered the possibility that Tong Yue might have escaped before his arrival, but... Jing Yan was still standing there, unharmed. If Tong Yue had killed Jing Yan, he surely would have fled the Holy City immediately.
Jing Yan was alive; Shen Chong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Jing Yan was alive, whether or not Tong Yue was killed was of secondary concern.
After Shen Chong spoke, the Sixth Hall Master also caught up from behind, swiftly descending from the sky.
The Sixth Hall Master surveyed his surroundings with a puzzled expression on his face. Hadn’t Hall Master Jing Yan and Tong Yue already started fighting? Was the battle over?
The Sixth Hall Master turned to look at the other hall masters; he noticed something odd about their expressions. However, there was no way for the Sixth Hall Master to guess that Tong Yue had already been slain by Hall Master Jing Yan. All he could think of was that Tong Yue, unable to kill Jing Yan in a short time and fearing that Saint Master Shen Chong’s arrival would trap him, chose to flee the Holy City.
"Holy Master!" Jing Yan greeted the Saint Master with a bow.
"Holy Master, the demon Tong Yue has been slain!" the Great Hall Master and others stepped forward, greeted Shen Chong, and said.
"What?" Shen Chong’s eyebrows twitched.
"You killed Tong Yue?" Shen Chong was somewhat incredulous; indeed, the words of the Great Hall Master were hard to believe.
