Chen Changan had said that on purpose. Normally, it would have been taken as nothing more than a casual joke.
But at that moment, everyone who heard him turned pale.
"You know something, don't you?"
"Do you know what happened here?"
"Kid, tell me. How do you know someone in my family died?"
Seeing how agitated they were confirmed that they had indeed come because of the people who had been killed.
And they were all connected to those people, hoping to find out exactly what had happened.
"Someone really died?"
"Sorry, sorry. I was just teasing him because he had a bad attitude."
"How could anyone die in the Eternal Land?"
"Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
Hearing Chen Changan say this, everyone furrowed their brows and studied him. Yet they felt they must have been overthinking things.
Chen Changan's cultivation was only at the Throne Realm. How could he possibly have killed anyone?
"Ah, who could say? How could anyone have died?"
"But... so many people sensed it. It can't be wrong."
"I don't know who did it, but we have to find them. This is no small matter."
"Exactly. If they really have the ability to kill people, they're terrifying."
"The most frightening thing is, the culprit could very well be... an outsider!"
Not everyone knew why these people had come here in the first place, but some did. They had been pursuing outsiders.
In the end, though, they had all disappeared, and the people connected to them had sensed their deaths.
That sensation had left everyone shocked and confused.
That was why they had come to investigate, but they hadn't found any answers.
Not a trace was left; they had been reduced to ashes.
"So something like this really happened?"
"That's a serious matter."
