Chapter 333: Southern Suppression General, Anti-Dynasty Alliance

Xiao Wenli’s arrival puzzled Qin Xiao, but he would not dare kill him.

Given Xiao Wenli’s level of strength, if Qin Xiao had returned to the city wall and fired a single cannon shot, Xiao Wenli would undoubtedly have perished.

Qin Xiao had thoroughly investigated the Qingzhou Prince Manor. Despite Xiao Yuande and the Princess Consort being at odds, the Princess Consort’s backing was formidable. Striking Xiao Yuande was one thing, but killing Xiao Wenli would mean having no foothold left not only in Qingzhou, but across the entire southern region.

That was because the Princess Consort’s father was Shen Yongchang, the Southern Suppression General of the Supreme Heavenly Dynasty. With Tribulation Transcendence level strength, he stood as one of the ultimate combat powers in the south, a holder of a first-class Royal Title, and a pillar of the Heavenly Dynasty.

Xiao Yuande had not expected his father-in-law to come now. He did not know whether to return. If he left, Seven Stars Tower would be freed from the blockade; if he stayed, he still needed his father-in-law’s support.

“Li’er, do you know why your maternal grandfather has come?”

Xiao Yuande could only test the waters first. Ever since his demotion, his father-in-law had never once sought him out, and this sudden visit certainly wasn’t to check on his son-in-law.

“Father, I don’t know. Grandfather has looked displeased ever since he arrived. Mother didn’t dare ask much and sent me to find you.”

Xiao Wenli was equally bewildered. It was Grandfather’s first time visiting Qingzhou; previously, his mother always had to take him to visit Grandfather. With such a stern expression upon arrival, it clearly boded ill.

“Return first. Father will be right back.”

Sensing that his father-in-law’s mood was grim, Xiao Yuande knew some major event must have occurred and ordered Xiao Wenli back immediately.

Without asking further, Xiao Wenli turned and headed straight back to the manor.
