CHAPTER 627: CHAPTER 370: COUNCIL! SHOCKWAVES!

The entire Xingyun County was completely shaken.

What is happening?

Could it be that the Earl of Xingyun has turned traitor?

Is the one responsible for suppressing the rebellion the Viscount of Fengxing County?

What exactly is going on?

As those two voices echoed between heaven and earth, the entire Xingyun County fell into endless chaos at this moment.

Even the people within the Earl of Xingyun’s mansion couldn’t help but become flustered at this time.

Wei Ming stood up, looking towards the direction of Fengxing County with a grim expression.

"How is it possible! Impossible!! He is just a minor viscount, how dare he become the court’s vanguard against rebellion!"

"Damn it!"

Wei Ming kept roaring in his heart, while beside him, Luo Cheng’s cousin was already in a state of bewilderment and shock.

Clearly, she did not expect that things would develop to this point.

"Third Brother, come quickly to the council chamber for discussions!"

At this time, a deep voice rang in Wei Ming’s ears.

Wei Ming’s expression turned respectful in an instant, ignoring his wife, and he left the room directly, heading to the council chamber within the Earl of Xingyun’s mansion.

...

Inside the council chamber.

An elderly man with graying hair sat at the head seat. Even though he was merely sitting there, he exuded a remarkably powerful oppressive aura.

This person... was none other than the current Earl of Xingyun of the Great Wei.

A Peak Grandmaster Level existence!

Below the Earl of Xingyun were his three sons.

Among them, even the weakest third son, Wei Ming, emanated a powerful aura, a fluctuation of cultivation that only a Grandmaster could possess.

"Father..."

In the silent council chamber, the eldest son Wei Buping eventually couldn’t resist and looked towards the Earl of Xingyun with an inquiring gaze.

"What exactly is going on? Why has the imperial order suddenly arrived, and why has our mansion suddenly become rebels?"

As the eldest son of the Earl of Xingyun, during his father’s seclusion, most of the affairs in the mansion were handled by Wei Buping.

Precisely because of this, Wei Buping was even more bewildered by the sudden rebellion of their mansion.

Not only Wei Buping, but the other two sons of the Earl of Xingyun also looked at their father with puzzlement.

The Earl of Xingyun sat in his seat, suddenly sighed, yet this one sigh caused the hearts of the three sons to clench slightly.

It was known that as the twelfth-ranked founding earl, aside from his illustrious war achievements at the founding, he was especially favored by the emperor after the founding.

Although only ranked twelfth, his treatment was on par with some in the top ten of all earls.

Under such circumstances, the three sons of the Earl of Xingyun considered themselves unmatched in the entire Great Wei kingdom.

Even if the sky fell, their father could hold it up.

Yet at this moment, their father, who they believed could rival heaven and earth, let out a sigh.

This caused a slight stirring of unease in all their hearts, bringing forth an ominous premonition.

They all looked towards the Earl of Xingyun.

After the sigh, the Earl of Xingyun slowly spoke, "In the end... still violated the interests of that group!"

As he spoke, the Earl’s words were filled with bitterness, and at this moment, there was a flash of sharpness in his eyes.

"But even so, my mansion will never concede!"

"If they want to suppress me, they must pay the price!"

"That so-called Viscount of Fengxing County is the one they’ve chosen to replace me, is it... Ha ha ha, the former Viscount of Fengxing County was indeed someone, had he not died young, he might have broken through to Grandmaster and been among the earls!"

"But now... he’s just a second-generation viscount!"

"Hereditary titles... aren’t determined by power."

"Since that Viscount wants to step over my body’s corpse, let him see... it’s not that easy!!"

The Earl of Xingyun spoke calmly, but his words carried a thick aura of dominance.

Even in the council chamber, there was a hint of the scent of soldiers and horses.

As for the three sons of the Earl of Xingyun, they exchanged glances, and the eldest son Wei Buping sneered coldly, "A mere Viscount of Fengxing County trying to rise over us."

"He really doesn’t know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth!"

"Then let us see... what capabilities this Viscount of Fengxing County possesses!"

Wei Buping snorted coldly, but there was a distinct aura of a Grandmaster emanating from him.

Indeed, as the eldest son of the Earl of Xingyun, and the one with the highest talent, he was now also at the Grandmaster Level, even surpassing those first-generation viscounts!

He really had the courage to speak those words!

...

While the entire Xingyun County was on high alert, Fengxing County appeared extraordinarily calm.

The Luo Family was thrilled after hearing the imperial decree, as it represented the court’s recognition.

Yet after the excitement, the Luo Family was steeped in deep concern.

"After all, it’s the Earl of Xingyun. Although there is an imperial decree, to step over him, a real battle with the Earl of Xingyun is inevitable!"

"That Earl... is a Peak Grandmaster Level existence, our Luo Family... might not withstand them!"

The faces of the Luo Family members were filled with deep worry; clearly, they had a clear understanding of the Earl’s strength.

Under such circumstances, naturally, they were exceedingly worried.

"It depends... on what the Patriarch decides!"

After a moment of silence, an elder of the Luo Family said slowly.

Patriarch!

All the strong members of the Luo Family felt a slight tremor in their hearts, and involuntarily looked towards the direction of the secret chamber, eyes filled with a hint of anticipation.

Ever since their Luo Family Patriarch returned from outside, it was as if he had become a different person. Even the Zhao and Li families, who were obstacles to the Luo Family’s development, were annexed by Luo Cheng through his methods.

In such circumstances, Luo Cheng naturally became the pillar in the hearts of all of them.

And such matters naturally required Luo Cheng to step in.

Everyone waited quietly.

At this time, within the Luo Family’s secret chamber.

Lu Sheng sat cross-legged quietly in the chamber, with an exceptionally terrifying physical power gradually emanating from Lu Sheng, making the entire chamber feel extremely oppressive.
