The bodies on the ground piled higher and higher. Tian Fu had gone berserk, killing any clansman he saw holding stolen goods. Due to the panic, a stampede broke out, causing many more injuries.
Master Tian and several elders looked as if they were trying to stop him, but in reality, they were only using half their strength.
"Tian Fu, stop this."
Meng Fanxuan reached out to him in a futile gesture, but just as she was about to intercept Tian Fu, she went limp and fainted.
Her handmaiden caught her, shouting in alarm, "Oh no, my lady was hit! She's unconscious!"
Tian Fu's rage intensified, and he even wounded one of the elders.
Ever since he had returned to the Tian Family, Master Tian and the elders had been outwardly respectful but were constantly undermining him in small ways. Whenever he tried to requisition men or materials, they would find a thousand and one ways to obstruct him.
