The dean and the others held a deep trust in Xu Jingming, aware of his immense talent. But upon hearing his words, they were taken aback, finding it hard to believe!
"How is that possible?" The trio was baffled.
Xu Jingming could only clarify, "Dean, I did kill Natuo. Over a century ago… Roughly five years after we entered the Primordial Gold Mountains, one of my scout clones stumbled into a trap set by the Abyss demon, Shadow Transcendence, while pathfinding."
"A trap by Shadow Transcendence?" Tower Master inquired, puzzled.
"Yes, Shadow Transcendence was Natuo's ally," Xu Jingming elaborated. "They laid numerous traps in the Primordial Gold Mountains for high-dimensional explorers. After dismantling that trap, I traced the karmic connection and teleported to Shadow Transcendence's side in the Heart Realm. There, I also found Natuo. Both were in the same cave abode, so I killed them."
