Supreme Vision Master

Chapter 351: Chapter 354: Midnight Killing Intent (Part 1)

Dongli Country, Fenglin City.

Old Master Chu’s face was filled with worry and apprehension.

He was thinking about what the King had said to them today, feeling extremely restless.

”Tonight, withdraw all the personnel responsible for guarding the four gates! No matter what kind of noises you hear, the Four Gates Defense Army must not make a move!”

”Also, each major aristocratic family must control their subordinates! Whatever happens in this city, it has nothing to do with you, understand?”

”No one is allowed to go out without permission!” The Eastern Fence King’s expression was fierce.

This time, the Tianyu Empress deploying the Hu Mang Guards to eliminate the Luo Family was indeed a golden opportunity for him.

He would not allow anyone to interfere.

Among these aristocratic families, many had good relations with the Luo Family; this warning was to make them think twice, to not make a wrong move!

Otherwise, they shouldn’t blame him for settling accounts after the fact!

If even the Luo Family could be taken down, would he fear pulling out a few more aristocratic families?

”Yes, by the King’s command.” The heads of the various aristocratic families were terrified by his words, unsure of what would happen tonight.

They all had a bad premonition.

And Old Master Chu, catching the Eastern Fence King’s gaze lingering on him, felt his heart stirring with intense waves of shock.

If he wasn’t wrong, tonight’s events would most likely involve the Luo Family!

The King... was he planning to strike at the Luo Family?

Old Man Luo had toiled for half his life for Dongli Country, using the Luo Family’s resources to support the nation’s fortunes time and again. Moreover, the marital alliance between the Luo Family and the Tianyu Royal Family had deterred neighboring small countries from invading, achieving today’s wealth and strength for Dongli Country.

Now the King, seeing the Luo Family in trouble, not only intended to kick them while they were down but also to completely annihilate them?

Wipe out the entire Luo Family?

But Luo Qingtong still had a matrimonial alliance with the Tianyu Royal Family!

As long as the alliance wasn’t called off, how could the King have the audacity to lay a hand on the Luo Family given his character?

Suddenly, Old Master Chu thought of a possibility, and his face turned pale at once.

Could it be that the Tianyu Imperial Family personally took action?

Thinking this, Old Master Chu’s heart sank.

If it were indeed so, the Luo Family was indeed doomed this time!

But... for the sake of face, the Tianyu Royal Family would undoubtedly move in secret, and they would need to find an excuse to cover it up!

Therefore, this time it could not possibly be an overt operation under the name of the Tianyu Royal Family.

If he wanted to help the Luo Family, there was still a chance.

As long as he... did not follow the King’s orders!

But... is it worth it?

For the Luo Family, is it worth risking the entirety of the Chu Family?

Old Master Chu was burning with a deep-seated anxiety in his heart.

Pacing back and forth in the main hall, his mind flashed through various scenarios.

He had spent half his life in argument with Old Master Luo, but they both had immense respect for each other’s character.

That Old Man Luo, despite their disagreements, he had heard people say that Old Man Luo admitted he was honest and upright, a true man who wasn’t intimidated by the reputation of his Luo Family.

”Old Man Luo, this lifetime of yours is not worth it!” Old Master Chu, thinking to this point, couldn’t help but have tears brimming in his eyes.

Both of them were wholeheartedly devoted to the country, yet... the Royal Family, they cared not for their sacrifices!

When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; Old Master Chu didn’t know if after the elimination of the Luo Family, whether the Chu Family would be next!

With this thought, he gritted his teeth fiercely, summoning his son and said: ”Send someone to watch the Luo Family, report back immediately at any sign of trouble.”

”Yes, father.” Although surprised, his son nevertheless accepted the order and left.

Watching the retreating figure of his son, Old Master Chu sighed deeply.

He hoped all this was just his misjudgment! Otherwise...
