"Second on the Holy List?" The Peng King's heart jolted. He stared intently, his expression suddenly turning grim. "This person..."
"It seems we won't be able to hold on to the Morning Star Essence we brought," Han Xingliu remarked.
The Peng King paced back and forth. The Royal Court had a great deal of interest in this Su Chen, but it was difficult to investigate him. The Morning Star Essence was supposed to be a hook, but he hadn't expected the suspense to be over so quickly.
"The Bronze Sect is truly about to rise..." The Peng King's expression was grim. He recalled the Bronze Sect's golden age, when it led the Five Great Sects, with four Morning Star Tier experts in the same generation, and the Bronze Ancient King's strength was unfathomable.
With the support of the other Four Great Sects, the Royal Court had to negotiate with the Bronze Sect on many matters, even making concessions. He did not want to see the Bronze Sect rise again.
