The moment Zhou Ling finished speaking, the main hall was plunged into silence.
Wang Kui's brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of astonishment in his eyes.
He knew Shen Lie had lost to Yang Jing, but he never thought Shen Lie's obsession with it ran so deep he would resort to such vicious means.
Zhao Hu and the other two disciples were also stunned, exchanging bewildered glances.
Qi Yuanfang frowned. "Senior Brother Shen has a volatile temper. He was probably drunk and not thinking clearly when he said that…"
Wang Kui raised a hand, signaling for Qi Yuanfang and the others to say no more. The hall fell quiet again, leaving only the sound of his slightly labored breathing.
His gaze returned to Zhou Ling. He asked in a low voice, "Besides the outcome of the arena trials, did Shen Lie and that Yang Jing have any other conflicts or hatred between them?"
