"Uncle-Master, something terrible has happened! Master... Master has been killed!"
Daqingzi had barely answered the phone when Zhong Tianci's voice, thick with grief and anger, came through.
At that, Daqingzi was stunned. "What!? Tianci, what happened? How could Senior Brother have been killed? Who could possibly have taken him down?"
Zhong Tianci said sorrowfully, "Uncle-Master, the one who killed Master was that 'Ning Xian Zun' I told you about before!"
"How is that possible! Senior Brother was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage. No matter how strong that person you mentioned is, how could he have killed Senior Brother!?"
"Tianci, tell me exactly what happened..."
Daqingzi asked urgently.

That was why, when Daqingzi suddenly heard that Danyangzi had been killed by a "native" from the Outside World, he was so shocked he could hardly believe
