The Capital Shakes (Part 1)

The Hong family

Whoosh!

A candle suddenly went dark. The moment it did, suddenly, everyone in the room held their breaths.

That was because each one of these candles was more important than they were. 

In this dark room, there were dozens of candles, and each one of them signified one person. Each one was for one person. 

Only the pillars of the family had these candles dedicated to them. The young masters who were the future of the family, the heads of each division, and the Soul Evolution Stage cultivators. Almost every Xiantian expert also had a candle for them. 

And these were not normal candles. They signified the life of the cultivator. If he or she was on death's door, then the candle would glow dim. If they were dead, then the candle would extinguish. 

The entire family was in an uproar when the three candles in this room suddenly went dim, and after that, the family suddenly locked itself, not going out anymore.
