Xie Xuanyi calmly said, "Although the Book Tower wants you alive, you are ultimately just a 'minor character'... No one truly cares about your life or death."
The fight had just happened.
But Zong Bi still saw the young man's face clearly.
He struggled to steady himself, his voice hoarse, "You... are Xie Zhen..."
Tonight, the City Lord Mansion held a banquet to welcome the cultivators from the Imperial City.
Only Xie Zhen did not attend.
This news made Zong Bi feel uneasy; Xie Zhen's reputation was too significant, ranked first on the Heavenly Pride List, and the new master of Xuanshui Cave Heaven at Da Sui Sword Palace. Such a figure not attending the banquet itself was a statement. He had purposely consulted Young Valley Master Ye Qinglian from Baihua Valley, who reassured him, telling him that Xie Zhen's absence was simply because he disliked noisy environments.
But regardless.
Zong Bi couldn't put his mind at ease.
