Chu Yi destroyed the Huo family as a gesture of goodwill towards Mo Beihan. Mo Beihan promised Gu Yunshen to allow Huo Lin to leave the country, and he kept his word.
In that way, the Huo family, which had been universally acknowledged in the capital as being a prominent family, vanished overnight.
All the Huo family's holdings in the capital were destroyed. Everyone in the Huo family left.
The people in the capital did not know about Huo Tianxiang's death. They thought that he left the country with Huo Lin and Huo Tianning.
This drastic change shocked everyone in the capital.
The various major families had not expected the Huo family to vanish just like that.
Everyone's first reaction was that Mo Beihan must have done it. They all thought that Mo Beihan had been overly vicious. This person was a menace. If you accidentally offended him one day, he would exterminate your entire family!
