"Boss Pei's Seven Sons United Heart Technique has been broken," Qin Sheng's second master, Lu Chen, said bluntly.
The other five remained silent.
"What's your take on it?" Lu Chen pressed.
"Whoever killed Boss Pei is no ordinary person."
"Most likely, he just had bad luck and died at the hands of a Sun Puppet," an old man said leisurely.
He had a nonchalant air, completely unconcerned about Pei Xia's death.
If anyone was to blame, it was Pei Xia for insisting on leaving. If he'd stayed here to cultivate in seclusion, he wouldn't have ended up dead.
"Dying to a Sun Puppet isn't the real issue," Lu Chen said, then paused. "What I'm afraid of is that he was killed by the same mysterious person who killed Qin Sheng."
"This doesn't sit right with me. I'm going to go out and investigate."
Lu Chen's words were met with silence, until someone finally said slowly, "The world is in upheaval. It's better to stay here and cultivate the Martial Dao in seclusion."
