After exchanging greetings, everyone found somewhere to sit in the courtyard. Liu Qian warned them, "If you've been going to the black market lately, you'd better be careful, or find someone to go with you.
"I heard from my eldest brother that robberies and killings have been happening frequently at the Black Market. Several people died just last night, including two Outer Sect disciples."
Everyone was shocked to hear that two Outer Sect disciples had died.
Xu Yang's heart stirred. Did last night's incident cause that much of a stir?
I killed one. Who killed the other? I hope this doesn't reach the sect.
"Who would dare? Robbery is one thing, but actually killing disciples of the Violet Sun Gate?" Chen Jiang said.
