Chapter 1034: Shocking Bad News

Chapter 1034

When Li Xingzai uttered those words, a deathly silence enveloped the great hall. No one spoke; everyone was stunned by the sudden news.

After a long while, whispers began to arise as someone tentatively asked, "Is the news reliable?"

Li Xingzai did not respond. He gulped down the wine in his cup, allowing the strong liquor to burn its way down his throat, and then weakly waved his hand, silently leaving the great hall.

This was an extremely rare occurrence, for he was the monarch of a nation, and all his actions had to follow certain protocols. But today, it was evident to all that Li Xingzai was greatly disturbed, undoubtedly due to Cheng Dalei's death.

Qi Jiguang was a dependable man, and Li Xingzai certainly trusted him. He had raced to the Capital City with the news, absolutely certain that Cheng Dalei was dead.
