"That's correct," Li Sheng transmitted, making no attempt to hide it. "Ma Cheng of the Sword Ancestor is the great-grandson of an elder from our World King Palace. He has been training with the Sword Ancestor for years, and now it's time for him to burnish his reputation and return to the World King Palace."
"I see," Long Chen murmured upon learning Ma Cheng's true identity.
No wonder the people from the World King Palace had always been so biased, favoring the Sword Ancestor at every turn. So that was the connection.
"So what?" Long Chen was unafraid, raising his head to look at Li Sheng. "Just because this Ma Cheng is one of your World King Palace people, you want me to give up first place to him?"
This time, Long Chen did not use a voice transmission, instead asking the question aloud for all to hear.
At his words, the entire audience was stunned.
"What's going on?"
"What just happened?"
"Senior Brother Ma is from the World King Palace?"
