Secular Immortal of the Nine Realms Chapter 62: Hanging the Corpse to Serve As An Example

The Longdu scholars gathered before the imperial palace gates looked out of place compared to the bustling crowd around them. They were dazed from witnessing Fang Chen murdering Zhou Xiu before their eyes.

In the end, a Longdu scholar spoke up, “There has to be a State War between Longdu and Great Xia. We can’t allow a Longdu viscount to die in humiliation.”
