"Protector Liu, you underestimate Shura Palace too much," replied Ouyang Ling with a smile, then his expression became more serious: "Don't you think it's strange that Shura Palace has suddenly appeared just when we're so close to the Competition of Geniuses?"
"Young Master, you mean..." Liu Yongsu seemed to realize something and was a little surprised.
"Exactly," confirmed Ouyang Ling, before continuing: "I suspect that Shura Palace is a force from the central region and has created this assassination organization just to serve as a front.
Which probably means that they have knowledge of the Quasi-Emperor's Inheritance."
Although Ouyang Ling was initially in the eastern region to avenge his family, the real purpose of his coming was the Eastern Region Genius Competition.
Every hundred years, a secret realm is opened in which everyone from the eastern region participates. This event is organized by the two Holy Lands and is known as the Eastern Region Genius Competition.
