Wu Yi is dead.
Gao Zhengjie's opening remarks were met with a shocking statement.
"The only designated heir of my Longteng Group, the personal disciple whom I, Gao Zhengjie, have painstakingly cultivated... is dead."
Is Wu Yi, who has disappeared, dead?
Before everyone could process this information, another storm arose in the world. A burly man descended from the sky and sent the astonished Qin Zun flying with a single punch.
Qin Zun, as the youngest prince of the Qin Guang royal family, held an extremely prestigious position. However, when everyone saw the appearance of the person who made the move, they were all taken aback.
Marquis Zhao of Qin, the hegemon of Qin!
"I asked you to take care of Xiao Ke, and this is how you take care of her?"
The conversation between Qin Ba and Qin Zun caused another uproar among the crowd.
Princess Qin Xiaoke of the Qin Guangwang family has also perished?
As the wind howled, colorful lotus flowers surged from the horizon, eventually transforming into a stunningly beautiful woman with skin as smooth as jade and dressed in a blue dress.
"It's Lord Qianhuan!"
"I've heard that Mu Ziyan, who's ranked ninth on the Heavenly Ranking, is Qianhuanbo's disciple. Could it be...?"
Recalling the two kings and nobles who had appeared earlier, everyone's expression changed, wondering if Mu Ziyan had also encountered some kind of accident.
With three kings and nobles appearing in succession, Ma Gongzuo could no longer sit still. He soared into the air to greet them and asked, "Lord Qianhuan, have you also come for your disciple?"
"That's true." Qianhuanbo frowned and said, "The spirit tablet left by Ziyan is almost shattered..."
Just as Ma Gongzuo's expression changed slightly, a figure silently appeared beside him. "Qianhuan, what do you mean by 'almost shattered'?"
The person who arrived was Wu Wei, the head of the martial arts department. Unlike the crowd who were discussing it, he keenly noticed the blind spot in Qian Huanbo's words.
“That’s the strange thing,” Qianhuanbo shook his head. “In my perception, that life force was already extremely weak, like a candle flame in the wind that could be extinguished at any moment. But even now, when I arrive, that life force is still there, and has even become a little stronger…”
Upon hearing Qian Huanbo's account, Wu Wei frowned.
He couldn't immediately determine what was going on.
For most people, Wu Yi and Qin Xiaoke were already dead, and with Mu Ziyan's fate still unknown, it was obvious that the ten missing people must have encountered extremely bad circumstances.
Wu Wei thought for a moment, then moved and went directly to the highest point of the royal seat. When Wu Wei arrived there, the mist at the top automatically parted, revealing a figure with a dreamlike appearance.
"The Book of Changes (Zhou Yi)"
"What is it?"
As the fog closed again, Zhou Yiwang seemed to finally snap out of his daze and looked at Wu Wei.
"I'm just curious what King Zhouyi is thinking. The situation is so chaotic right now, yet King Zhouyi has remained silent. I'm a little puzzled," Wu Yi said with a smile.
"Do you suspect that the disappearance of those ten people is related to me?" King Zhouyi asked calmly.
“Of course not. How could King Zhou Yi, with his magnanimity, directly attack a junior?” Wu Yi waved his hand and said, “But with King Zhou Yi’s abilities, he must know something.”
Zhou Yiwang remained silent for a long time. Just as Wu Wei thought he would not get any information and was about to turn around and leave, Zhou Yiwang's deep voice sounded from behind.
“There are unusual changes in the river of time.”
Although Zhou Yiwang's voice was soft, it resonated in Wu Wei's heart like a thunderclap.
"What did you say!"
Despite Wu Wei's composure, he was visibly shocked, which showed how deeply Zhou Yiwang's words had affected him.
"Are you sure?" Coming back to his senses, Wu Wei stared intently at King Zhou Yi, then looked puzzled. "Could it be... that King Jiangling has returned?"
“Impossible,” Zhou Yiwang shook his head.
“Why is it impossible?” Wu Wei frowned. “Back then, when the princes disappeared, you told me it was related to the River of Time. Besides, who else in this world, besides the Prince of Jiangling, could manipulate the River of Time?”
King Zhouyi raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the endless sky and landing on the ancient, flowing river.
"The Prince of Jiangling... has long since perished."
Zhou Yi Wang casually revealed another secret that shocked Wu Wei.
Wu Wei snapped out of his daze, his gaze sharp as lightning, and for a moment he was speechless.
After a long silence, Wu Wei coldly said, "This is a matter of great importance; King Zhouyi would be wise to be cautious in his words."
"Besides me, you are the first person to know about this," Zhou Yi Wang said calmly.
Wu Wei finally let out a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
"The rest of the people should be fine, because the legacy I left in the Nine Kings Secret Realm has been inherited by others."
Before Wu Wei left, Zhou Yiwang still managed to utter a few words.
Wu Wei was taken aback at first, then realized why Zhou Yiwang specifically mentioned "others"—this "others" clearly excluded those before and after Chen Qian.
Wu Wei gave Zhou Yi Wang a deep look before stepping out of the mist. As soon as he reached the sky, he saw a sword light piercing through the distance. Even with Wu Wei's cultivation level, the chilling sword intent made his cheeks sting.
"Even the Heavenly Swordsman has come; today is truly lively."
Wu Wei murmured something, but he had already felt most relieved.
Since King Zhouyi has said so, the rest of the people should be fine.
However… looking at the Duke of Tianning lingering high in the sky, and the Earl of Aurora, Ma Guangxi, and Marquis of Zhaoyuan, Junping, and others who were now vaguely gathering towards the Duke of Tianning because their disciples had died at Shen Qian’s hands, Wu Wei felt a vague unease in his heart.
