Chapter 338 - Declaration of War (2/2)

It was understandable for Luo Yunhai to be overcome by rage and make such a declaration. He may be the young master, but Zhuo Fan handled everything in the clan. His words represented the Luo clan’s stance.

So these three pleaded with Zhuo Fan to think of the bigger picture.

The man in question took a long look at Luo Yunhai, then smirked at the rest, “What’s with those faces? Is there a problem with what our young master said? Humph, the Luo clan has that name for a reason. Young master may not be the official Clan Head yet, but he represents the Luo clan with every word. From now on, we and the Regent Estate are at war!”

As the people went through endless shock, Long Yifey and company were lamenting.

No one took Luo Yunhai’s words seriously, but all of that changed when Zhuo Fan nailed the matter in.

[But what’s going on with Zhuo Fan? Did he really lose his mind in revenge over a girl?]

Huangpu Tianyuan was overjoyed. He feared the imperial family would stick its nose in again and stop them from making moves against the Luo clan.

But now with the Luo clan declaring war by itself, the imperial family had no grounds to interfere. Windgaze City could no longer save the Luo clan.

“Ha-ha-ha, something must be wrong with todays’ kids, they are so brash and cocky. You think that a single peak Radiant Stage expert is enough to protect the Luo clan? Hilarious!”

Huangpu Tianyuan laughed, “You may be able to cower the other houses, but you have another thing coming now that you’ve set yourself against us. Just ask the geezer next to you how strong we are if you don’t believe me. You can’t match our thousand year old legacy!”

Zhuo Fan smiled, “Are you sure? We’ll just have to wait and see.”

Spinning on his heel, he kept on walking. While Li Jingtian left them with some final words, “As a former Venerable of yours, let me give you some friendly advice. Think long and hard before touching the Luo clan.”

Then he turned around and followed after the others.

But his words had the intended effect, to stun Huangpu Tianyuan and his elders.

As an ex Regent Estate Venerable, Li Jingtian knew all about its power. Yet even so, he still judged the Luo clan to be a tougher enemy.

[Does that mean Luo clan is on par with the Regent Estate?]

[Impossible! How can our thousand year legacy be surmounted just like that?]

Turning to Leng Wuchang, Huangpu Tianyuan found him silent.

Luo clan was now wrapped in a thick fog, with no one able to pierce it. This effect had even Regent Estate feel their previous confidence fading.

The swift rise of this clan had left more and more people unable to comprehend them…

Dugu Zhantian watched Luo Yunhai’s back bitterly. He treated Luo Yunhai as his own son, and the kid always listened to him.

But he had just spoken and the first one to reproach him was his own godson.

For the sake of the clan, the godfather and godson had to break ties. He never wished for this to happen, but could never stop it.

[Why must we serve a different master…]

…

Six hours later, the Luo clan returned to Dragon Cloud City and Zhuo Fan slammed the door to his room, “Don’t bother me!”

Luo Yunchang saw Zhuo Fan acting odd and was afraid for his sake. She wanted to go to him but Li Jingtian stopped her.

Luo Yunchang turned to him puzzled.

Li Jingtian shook his head, “Young miss, sometimes men need to be alone. Let him be.”

Her pure eyes shook as Luo Yunchang watched the door and bit her lip before leaving.

But then a bestial roar came from beyond Zhuo Fan’s door before she managed to leave.

“Ahhhh!”

Covering her mouth, Luo Yunchang couldn’t fight the tears.

She saw Zhuo vent his rage for what was done to Ning’er, but only now could he release some of the pain scarring his heart.

The wail of agony made her heart bleed. She wanted to comfort him and mend his heart, but Zhuo Fan would rather face it alone.

He was never one to open up to anyone, choosing to bear the pain by himself, becoming forever a solitary steward.

The pain in Luo Yunchang only grew as her mind wandered. The others sighed, watching over Zhuo Fan’s door along with their young miss…
