Chapter 98: Surge in Reputation, Zhou Ruhai's Grand Plan

'That's what I thought, but I couldn't say it like that.'

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "Grandmasters are rare. It would be a waste for one to die over such a small matter."

"Your younger brother, Lu Shengchun, did indeed die by my hand. But back then, my Great Black was still stuck at the Meridian Passage realm. Your brother failed to steal a treasure, then left me with a threat, vowing he would wait for you to return and get revenge on me."

"I'm usually a friendly person who dislikes conflict, but I'm not without a temper. He had already taken advantage of me for no good reason, which I resented. After being provoked by his threats, my darker impulses took over, and I chose to kill him to silence him."

"But when you live in the martial world, you're bound to get cut. Those who kill will be killed in turn. I imagine your brother wasn't a stranger to killing, either. Since he chose this path, I don't think there's any cause for complaint in death."
