Chapter 154 Do Not Provoke
The Qian Family, the foremost great family of Duyang City, was a family with a thousand-year heritage.
The Qian Family Patriarch, Qian Tianluo, a powerful figure in the Dao Spirit Realm. With him around, no other family within the territory of Duyang City would dare harbor covetous thoughts towards the Qian Family. With him around, it was highly unlikely for any major incidents to occur within the Qian Family, and Qian Tianluo himself would seldom interfere in the family’s affairs; most mundane matters were more than sufficiently handled by the elders and managers within the family.
However, today, the Qian Family Mansion was engulfed by a raging tempest.
All the Qian Family Elders had gathered within the Clan Chief’s Courtyard, each one with a look of rage and a ferocious expression on their faces.
Because Elder Qian Feng, the Second Elder of the Qian Family, was dead, slain within the Wei Family Mansion, said to be killed by a single stroke of the sword from the City Lord Bai Xue.
The impact of this event wasn’t just as simple as the death of an elder of the Qian Family; it was going to have a tremendous impact on the entire Qian Family.
Why?
The reason was straightforward; the death of the Qian Family Elder wasn’t by just anyone’s hand, but personally executed by the City Lord. Why would the City Lord want to kill a Qian Family Elder? Could it be that there was some dissatisfaction with the Qian Family?
The City Lord, dissatisfied with the Qian Family—just how great this impact would be, anyone with a bit of sense could foresee.
"Clan Chief!"
"Clan Chief, how should we respond to this?"
"Hmph, Bai Xue may be the City Lord, but she’s taking our Qian Family too lightly, isn’t she? She dares to kill our Qian Family Elder just like that?"
