"Junior brother, did you hear? Kong Yu has been missing for days. He's probably dead."
That day, Xu Yang had just returned from Blazing Fire Peak when Sun Tao came looking for him, his face brimming with delight.
Anyone missing for so many days was almost certainly dead. Otherwise, there was no reason not to return to the sect, and no trace of Kong Yu or his companions had been found in Azure Sun City either.
Since joining the sect, this was the first time Sun Tao had been happy to hear that someone had died.
Kong Yu was far too talented, and he was a disciple of the Raging Wind Hall. With him dead, everyone could sleep without worry.
Xu Yang smiled. "Senior brother, I already heard about this at Blazing Fire Peak. Good riddance."
He had spent the past few days with his heart in his throat too.
Before killing Fang Wei, he had confirmed that none of them had told a fourth person about their plan to kill him. Still, he had worried that Fang Wei might have lied.
Now, even after the sect had posted a bounty, no investigation had led back to him. The matter could finally be put to rest.
For the time being, however, he still could not use the contribution points he had taken from Kong Yu and the others, lest he draw attention.
After going more than a month without doing any missions, suddenly producing a pile of contribution points could easily cause problems.
News of Kong Yu's death was like a massive stone thrown into a tranquil lake. Though it stirred up enormous waves, those waves would soon subside, replaced by other matters.
