"Everyone, something like this happening at a time like this definitely has a hidden motive. Gong Jun committed suicide, and the blade was his own sword. Therefore, I believe the person behind this has two goals. First, to deliberately target the Alliance Leader. Second, to disrupt this Martial Arts Convention. I think whoever could do something like this is very likely someone who bears a grudge against our Eight Great Sects—for example, the increasingly restless Demon Sect."
The moment everyone heard the words "Demon Sect," they immediately thought of the rumor that had been making waves lately.
"Exactly. Fortress Lord Ye's analysis is spot-on. It must have been those Demon Sect people. They did it to disrupt the Martial Arts Convention."
"In recent years, under the Alliance Leader's guidance, our Eight Great Sects have all developed very well. Now that the leadership election is approaching, they probably don't want the Alliance Leader to remain in the position of Martial Arts Alliance Leader."
"That's right. The Demon Sect is wildly ambitious, and now they're expanding on a massive scale for no apparent reason. They must be planning some major move."
"Could it be because of the rumors about their new Sect Leader? Did that make them nervous, so they decided to strike first and deal with our Eight Great Sects?"
"Your information is already outdated. The Demon Sect's former Sect Leader has gone missing. Their new Sect Leader is Xu Changsong, who used to be the Right Protector."
"He went missing at a time like this?"
"Could he have been so scared that someone would really go after him that he hid away?"
"Since he's so afraid, doesn't that mean the rumor is true?"
"Who knows?"
Because of Fortress Lord Ye's speech, everyone's attention was diverted.
Su Qiao even admired him
