Within Changqing Mountain, Yuheng Star Hall.
Luo Jinsong was frowning as he read the letter in hand.
Li Chengguo and Qian Zhonghe sat off to the side, waiting in silence.
Only after Luo Jinsong finished reading did Li Chengguo stroke his long goatee and ask, "What happened?"
"The main hall wants us to kill Yang Zhengshan!" Luo Jinsong said in a low voice, his brows tightly locked.
