Chapter 570: Were They?

The city fell into a state of chaos. It quickly became widespread news that the Scion of the Cloaked Dagger Sect had actually died. 

To make matters worse, the killer hadn't even tried to hide himself. Not only had he done the deed before several witnesses, he was actually recognized by one of them. 

Under interrogation, Alote had had no option but to expose Ryu's identity for the sake of saving herself. After all, she had been the trigger for all of this in the first place. With the intelligence of cultivators and their ability to pick up on the tiniest of details, it was impossible that she would be able to escape scrutiny, especially not when everyone around her would be clambering for credit. 

It was then that everyone came to know of Ryu Tor, the man who brazenly killed the Scion of a Ninth Order Sect.
