News of the Red Mill incident—the might of Chen Ping'an's single strike, Wu Lin's death, and the fate of Wu Tianqi from the Wu Family Trading Team—quickly spread like wildfire throughout Five Peaks Mountain City.
"Wu Lin is dead? The one who was at the Third Stage of Inner Qi?"
"Yes, that's him—a Tributor for the Wu Family Trading Team. I heard Commander Chen killed him with a single strike!"
"Killed with a single strike!? How is that possible? How could the power gap be so huge!?"
"I'm not sure about the details, but that's what everyone is saying! I heard that for stirring up trouble, Wu Tianqi is facing a grim fate, too! After his interrogation is over, they're going to hang him from the city wall to make an example of him!"
"Hang him from the city wall? No way! I heard he's a member of the Wu Family's direct lineage from Earth Fire County!"
"We'll just have to wait and see."
"Yeah."
