The old man's watering can paused. He raised his head and straightened his back.
"A warrior from the previous dynasty? Weren't they all wiped out before? Why has another one suddenly surfaced now?"
He knew very well just how much damage someone capable of making even Lord Heshan vanish without a trace could cause.
Within the Demon Alliance, there were only three true thousand-year-old great demons.
Of those three, two were at odds with each other, mortal enemies locked in a fight to the death.
Only he, the alliance leader, had been mediating and cushioning the conflict between them.
If a Great Demon on Lord Heshan's level had been helpless against that person, then the only ones capable of suppressing him were likely the thousand-year-old great demons standing at the very pinnacle of the Demon Alliance.
"Do we know the killer's specific identity?" the old man asked again.
"We know some things. His name is Wei He. His age is unknown, but he appears to be a man in his thirties. He suddenly appeared in Ningzhou City a month ago. There had been no trace of him before that," the man in the suit answered quietly.
"Inform the other two at once. Someone who could suppress Lord Heshan so thoroughly that so many Great Demons could not even escape clearly possesses formidable strength. At the same time, investigate documents from the previous dynasty and determine his identity, strength, and characteristics," the old man deduced.
"Yes."
"Also, has the ambassador from Xilin gone back?"
"He has already returned."
"Then notify the Demon Alliance members. Officially announce the news regarding this previous-dynasty warrior, Wei He. As soon as possible."
"Yes!"
