Stepping Up

Early in the morning, the entire Xu Residence was eerily quiet. All the servants were walking around in silence. The whole residence was at peace. No one was making any noise.

Inside the residence's main hall, six people were sitting together. They were bickering with each other.

The seniors of the Startling Cloud Association were gathered, all four of the clan leaders and the two main guardians.

The leader of the faction, Xu Zhichun, had died so suddenly. It was far too abrupt.

The maid knocked on the door in the morning, but there was no response. She dared not to barge into the bedroom, so she went and reported it to the Lady. Lady Chen Siyu allowed the others to enter the bedroom, where they then saw Xu Zhichun lying peacefully on his bed, deceased.

The brilliant leader of the faction had died so suddenly. They were shocked. It was unbelievable. After checking his body, it was initially suspected that he was consumed by his cultivation.
