Inside the main hall of the Nie Family.
After Yang Song, the Sect Leader of the Vast Sea Sect, stormed out in a huff, Chu Zhengnan didn't linger either. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Nie Tiankun and Nie Baichuan before taking his leave as well.
However, the moment he was gone, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly grew heavy and oppressive.
Nie Tiankun stood in the middle of the hall, his brows slightly furrowed as he stared in the direction Chu Zhengnan had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time. At last, he slowly turned to the seated Great Elder, Nie Baichuan, and said in a low voice:
"Great Elder, something seems... off."
"Do you think... Chu Zhengnan could be the one pulling the strings behind all this?"
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the hall grew even more tense.
Initially, the Nie Family had thought Chen Sheng went a bit too far by killing the Vast Sea Sect's True Inheritors and Golden Core elder, but they hadn't given it much more thought.
