Chapter 144_6

Of the one hundred seats reserved for the Peak Masters, ninety-nine were now occupied, with only the one in the farthest corner, belonging to him, remaining empty.

Cao Zhen became increasingly curious as he walked towards his own seat. He asked, "What's going on? Have all the Peak Masters really come together? Has something big happened?"

Around him, everyone acted as if they hadn't heard Cao Zhen's question. However, Deng Qixing stood up and said, "Peak Master Cao, we also don't know what matter the Sect Leader True Person has summoned us for."

"It's because of yesterday's swordsmanship duel," Bai Fengzi's voice followed closely after Deng Qixing's words.

Upon hearing this, the crowd's expression suddenly changed, especially the Peak Masters from Sword Peak who, feeling ashamed, hung their heads low. The other Peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect were not really affected; these were Peaks focused on swordsmanship, yet they could not retain the visitor even for a full day.
