Chapter 377: Huo Lian's Final Stroke!

Huo family.

Huo Lian had been waiting anxiously at home for the result of the City Lord's Mansion council, weighed down with heaviness in his heart, yet clinging to a sliver of hope.

He felt that Elder Xia would not abandon the Huo family.

He waited and waited, as dark clouds amassed, obscuring the stars, as if blotting out his hopes.

The message he received was that everyone involved in the council at the City Lord's Mansion had left, yet he ended up not receiving a call from Xia Zhonglin.

The silent silence was the coldest and most merciless reply.

Along with the snap of thunder, lightning suddenly brightened the sky, and Huo Lian, standing at the study window, looked up, his eyes dim, his face etched with the ravages of time.

He had never imagined that after controlling Yuncheng's martial arts world for so many years, making countless martial arts experts bow and obey, he thought himself capable of influencing the course of events.
