Chapter 457: The Zhong Family Arrives, One Step Too Far

After hearing Ling Ruoxue’s words, Qin Xiao was left utterly baffled.

What did that mean? Zhong Wuhao was dead? How could he die? And what did it have to do with him?

“What exactly is going on?”

Qin Xiao really couldn’t figure it out. His strike hadn’t been that outrageous, had it? Enough to kill an expert at the peak of the Great Ascension Realm?

“I don’t know the details. After the duel, the Zhong Family stayed at one of our merchant association’s residences instead of with the Ling Family and began treating him.
