Countless eyes were currently on the Xiao Family.
This included the Dingyuan Army of the Three Towns and the Noble Families close to the Xiao Family.
Any move they made would be instantly detected.
Elder Master Xiao and Xiao Jinghong were under particularly intense scrutiny.
Furthermore, the Xiao Family's ranks were thin; the old were old, the young were young, and talent was scarce.
Fortunately, Xiao Jinghong was struggling to hold things together. Otherwise, their situation would be even worse.
Chen Yi knew this, which was why he had chosen to abduct Asutai and Lv Jiunan and hide them away.
Only by doing so could he throw Liu Hong into disarray, thereby pushing the situation in Shu State toward chaos.
And such a situation, conversely, would benefit the Xiao Family.
They had long been at the center of the storm, growing accustomed to such circumstances over the years and preparing for the day they would be besieged on all sides.
