Jiang Wang looked at Ruan Qin in surprise.
Amid the head‑on heavenly wind, Ruan Qin asked calmly, "Do you think Huo Shiji is really dead?"
After thinking it over carefully, Jiang Wang replied, "From what I know, yes. And Master of the Archive, Director Chen, and Master Wu all think so as well… Why would you ask that?"
"If the Blood River Sect had no other issues, and it truly wanted to invite Marquis Champion to take over, with no other entanglements involved, and if Kou Xuejiao was genuinely respecting Huo Shiji's dying wish… When it concerns the Blood River Sect's ten‑thousand‑year inheritance, on what grounds would she respect a casual Thought Huo Shiji once mentioned while alive?"
Jiang Wang thought for a moment: "You mean to say she received Huo Shiji's instruction?"
