Chapter 161 Secret Conversation
At this moment, Peng Zhenyuan, the Hall Master of the Demon King Hall, was seated at the top of the grand hall. On either side of him were four redwood high-backed chairs.
Seated on three of the chairs were two men and one woman—three protectors of the Demon King Hall: Xiao Kuo, Wolf King, and Alice. However, the chair on the far left, which belonged to Wang Tian, was notably vacant.
After a brief silence, Peng Zhenyuan’s slow but deep voice broke the stillness: "Wang Tian is dead. He died in China!"
"Hall Master, you’re joking, right?" Alice immediately laughed as she spoke.
But the only response she received was Peng Zhenyuan’s exceedingly serious gaze, which made her awkwardly stop laughing.
Seeing this, both Xiao Kuo and the Wolf King’s expressions darkened. Xiao Kuo was the first to ask, "Hall Master, Wang Tian is the strongest among our four protectors, with strength already at the peak of Martial King in terms of what Chinese martial artists consider. With such power, who could kill him? Could it have been China’s War God?"
"Not him!"
Peng Zhenyuan said coldly, "The one who killed Wang Tian is the same young man who stole the True Martial Sword Manual!"
"A young man? Is the Hall Master referring to that... the one reputed to have reached Innate Martial King strength at just seventeen or eighteen years old, Mr. Ye?" Xiao Kuo immediately frowned and asked.
"Correct!" Peng Zhenyuan nodded.
Upon seeing Peng Zhenyuan nod, both Xiao Kuo and Alice were visibly shocked.
