If I'm not mistaken, the next target will likely be our Cheng family."

"Could she alone have killed all four of them? Perhaps she had hidden allies. That might explain their deaths," Cheng Wanshan said, still finding it hard to believe that a single woman could have slain four Supreme-level masters of the Cheng family.
