Yin Bao frowned, his thoughts racing. 'Hou Mengyao had been the strongest genius among this batch of disciples. Even compared to the Mao Empire's best, he had stood at the top...'
'Had the pocket dimension been invaded? Was someone from outside responsible for his death?'
He found it hard to believe that anyone from his generation could have killed Hou Mengyao.
The next strongest disciple was only at the 3rd Golden Core Formation realm, and Hou Mengyao had been a prodigy in the Sword Dao, making him nearly invincible in the same realm.
Yin Bao grabbed his communication token again. 'Send disciples below the Nascent Soul realm to investigate what could have caused the disturbance.'
Though Hou Mengyao had died, Yin Bao wasn't about to cancel the competition. With the screens back up, the event could continue as planned. After it ended, he would personally enter the pocket dimension to investigate further.
