Before the round-of-32 matches in the Celestial Brilliance Annual Competition had even concluded, a piece of utterly shocking news broke.
The Lu Family, an inconspicuous, minor clan within Celestial Brilliance, had been massacred!
The scene was a gruesome spectacle: bodies were strewn everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.
Of the more than three hundred members of the Lu Family, young and old, not a single soul survived!
The only one missing was Lu Qi, who had disappeared long ago, but most people believed he was likely already dead.
Lu Qi's fiancée knelt crying amidst the rubble of the Lu Family estate, a heart-wrenching sight for all who witnessed it.
All of Celestial Brilliance erupted in fury.
"We demand the perpetrators be found and severely punished!"
"If this is allowed to stand, Celestial Brilliance's fall is inevitable!"
