They had only received the news that morning, yet Fu Lingkun had died that very night. Had the news not come from Chu Zhankuo, whom he knew would never joke about something so serious, Chu Dalong would never have believed it.
Even now, Chu Dalong still had his doubts.
He wondered whether Chu Zhankuo's information was genuine, or whether this was a ruse by the Fu Family to make them lower their guard before wiping out the Chu Family in one fell swoop.
"Fourth Uncle, Uncle Duan, Master Tan, and I all witnessed Fu Lingkun's death. Not only Fu Lingkun, but Fu Shanlai and the Fu Family's many Foundation Establishment and Source Lifting cultivators all died as well. We burned their bodies ourselves. There is absolutely no mistaking the news."
Seeing that Chu Dalong did not believe him, Chu Zhankuo called on Chu Siniu and Duan Zong to bear witness and spoke earnestly.
Chu Siniu and Duan Zong nodded slightly.
With that much said,
Chu Dalong was already almost convinced. Delight appeared on his face as he said, "If that is true, then our household has been rid of a great enemy!"
Chu Sanbao was delighted too, but also somewhat puzzled. He asked, "Zhankuo, since you witnessed Fu Lingkun's death yourselves, does that mean you killed him? Could it be that he never reached Nascent Soul?"
Chu Dalong also turned his gaze toward Chu Zhankuo.
Fu Lingkun's death was good news, but something about it sounded suspicious no matter how he looked at it.
Even if Fu Lingkun had not reached Nascent Soul, he was still a powerful cultivator at Golden Core perfection on the beyond-the-world qi refining path. How could Chu Siniu, Chu Zhankuo, and the others possibly have defeated him?
Chu Zhankuo explained, recounting everything that had happened
