Chapter 254: Unimaginable Means

If the Zhu Family Ancestor's previous roar of fury made many feel that the intruder was outrageously bold and reckless, courting death by daring to steal from the Zhu family...

...then this mournful cry from the Ancestor left the Zhu Family disciples stunned, a great sense of dread creeping into their hearts.

"What on earth happened? What's wrong with the Ancestor?"

Many people hastily sent messages around, trying to find out.

As the family patriarch, Zhu Anwen was one of them.

"I-It seems Young Master Fengyu... went to intercept the thief... and was k-killed by the thief!"

The news came back quickly.

But those who relayed the message all stammered, afraid to speak plainly.

"What? That's impossible!"

Zhu Anwen denied it reflexively, but as the realization dawned, his legs gave out and he collapsed to the ground.

Nothing else could have caused the Ancestor to lose his composure with such a cry of grief.
