"Call War God Castle and tell them that Elder Lv has been killed!"
Boats floated on West Lake as blood-red twilight scattered over the undulating lake surface.
Zhang Jiu-Ling stood at the boat's bow with his face ashen as his sad and terrified voice echoed throughout West Lake.
He was completely shaken by the sight.
Zhang Jiu-Ling felt like his soul was about to leave his body when he saw Lv Song-Liang's corpse pinned to the stone pillar.
Before this, he had also been shocked to see the Lv estate razed to the ground, but he had been able to maintain his composure.
He simply felt that the culprit had taken the chance to attack the Lv clan while Lv Song-Liang was out.
Although it was a serious matter, this was something that Lv Song-Liang should have been able to handle.
Zhang Jiu-Ling didn't think that Lv Song-Liang would end up dead as well after his clan was killed.
Also, he had been pierced to death on a stone pillar on the day he was holding his banquet and receiving his title as supreme grandmaster.
Once a supreme grandmaster was involved, any vendetta between martial artists reached a whole new level.
After all, each supreme grandmaster was like a strategic weapon at the political level, so they also represented their clans, their country, and an entire race.
To a certain degree, attacking a supreme grandmaster was as good as declaring war against the country.
Also, Lv Song-Liang was killed on the day he was receiving his title as supreme grandmaster.
What did this mean?
It was like an emperor getting slaughtered on the day he was crowned.
The only difference was that there was only one emperor at any time, but many more martial artists out there.
That was it.
However, the consequences were the same.
By humiliating Lv Song-Liang, the culprit was insulting War God Castle and the entire Chinese martial arts circle!
There was no doubt that a storm was about to rip through the Chinese martial arts circles.
That was why Zhang Jiu-Ling was so fearful and reacted so strongly.
He contacted War God Castle right away to tell them about the incident.
"What? Lv Song-Liang is dead? You must be kidding, right? Wasn't he supposed to
get his title today?"
Inside War God Castle on Mount Yan.
The King of Fighters had just received a call about the situation in Jiangbei.
He didn't believe what he had heard at first.
Lv Song-Liang was a supreme grandmaster to begin with, so no one would dare to make trouble at the banquet since he had War God Castle's backing.
"King of Fighters, it's true. Lv Song-Liang is dead! He was pinned onto a stone pillar by the culprit. The entire Lv family has also been slain, and their estate is covered in blood," said Zhang Jiu-Ling sadly through the phone in a panic.
"Are you...are you serious? Zhang Jiu-Ling, are you 100% sure? Did you check it out yourself?"
The King of Fighters' face instantly looked worried, and his voice sounded solemn.
"King of Fighters, it's absolutely true. Lv Song-Liang is really dead," shouted Zhang Jiu-Ling once more.
The King of Fighters remained disbelieving as he said deeply, "How can that be? I received news that the banquet proceeded without a hitch. How could this happen so quickly? Where is He Chen? Can you put him on? I want to know what happened."
King of Fighters spoke angrily in an anxious tone.
"He Chen? Are you talking about Grandmaster He Chen? I don't see him," replied Zhang Jiu-Ling.
"What about the guests there? Just try and ask anyone. How did a celebratory banquet end up like this?" asked the King of Fighters anxiously.
