"What a loving father and filial son. Such touching family affection," Qi Suian snarked.
Shi Hanwen's eldest son had plundered the Shi Family's assets with his mother and younger siblings under the cover of darkness, then fled.
But he was smart enough not to touch the assets of Azure Flame Peak.
The nature of the two was completely different. One was private property, the other was public.
The former belonged to their family, while the latter belonged to the entire Yanghuang Sect. If he had touched it, he would have been signing his own death warrant.
The day after his eldest son vanished, Shi Hanwen learned the news and was so furious he could barely breathe.
The Shi Family then descended into chaos. Some were secretly delighted, others plotted to seize power, but no one else considered fleeing.
Although Shi Hanwen was paralyzed, he was still a Peak Master. Until Sect Leader Xu Ziyang stripped him of his position, the Shi Family remained prominent.
