Chapter 56: Fire Heaven Decree

omething was amiss.Now is not the previous life, in this era where imperial power reigns supreme, facing the emperor without kneeling is a capital offense!Luckily, Zhang Liyang was inside the room. Wh...Jade Fragrance Street, the most luxurious street in Feilong City, was once inhabited by nobles and dignitaries. However, ever since the three prominent families fell from grace, Jade Fragrance Street has become deserted.

Some say the smell of blood on Jade Fragrance Street is too heavy, and others say that at night, Jade Fragrance Street is full of wandering ghosts, making your spine chill.

But no matter what, all the survivors moved out of Yu Xiang Street. This made Yu Xiang Street even more notorious as a "ghost street" among the people of Fei Long City!

And now Bai Fuhuan is bringing his senior and junior brothers to appear in Ghost Street.

Although Bai Fuhuan had not been here for several years, in his memory, this Jade Fragrance Street, while quiet, was certainly not as lifeless as it is now!

"What happened on Jade Fragrance Street My father didn't mention it in his recent letters."

With a sense of confusion, Bai Fuhuan continued walking inwards. Soon, she arrived in front of a luxurious mansion.

"Senior brother, is this your home" Fang Qi looked at the luxurious mansion gate in front of him, a hint of envy in his eyes. Thinking of his ordinary home and then looking at the luxuriously decorated mansion gate, he couldn't help but sigh softly, "It's really good!"

Li Hua was much older and had a lot more life experience than Fang Qi, who had only been out of the house a couple of times. After glancing at Fang Qi, Li Hua's face grew serious. "Bai Shi-di," he said, "Something has happened."

"Hmm." Bai Fuhuan looked at the unguarded door and nodded, then walked forward and knocked. But inside, there was an eerie silence, no response whatsoever.

By this point, Fang Qi had also reacted, suppressing the envy and excitement in his eyes. However, a hint of satisfaction still lingered in his gaze.

"Is anyone home" Seeing that no one responded after knocking for a long time, Bai Fuhuan, after a moment of silence, went directly to the wall of the courtyard. With a powerful kick, he leaped into the air and landed on the wall. After tapping it once, he flipped over the three-丈-high wall and went inside.

Seeing Bai Fuhuan's actions, Li Hua and Fang Qi looked at each other and then followed suit.

Watching Lihua effortlessly leap into the air with just a light tap on the ground, Fang Qi's eyes flickered with a mix of envy and disdain. He then followed suit, hopping three steps on the courtyard wall before gracefully scaling it.

Just like the deathly silence of Jade Fragrance Street outside, the entire mansion was eerily still, with not a single soul in sight!

This made Bai Fuhuan's heart grow heavier and heavier.

He was very clear about his family's status in Feilong City, so unless something major happened, he wouldn't find himself in this situation.

Thinking of the recent victory of the Great Qin Dynasty against the rebels, recapturing Feilong City, and her father's sudden letter asking her to return home, a sense of foreboding crept into Bai Fuhuan's heart.

"Huh Who is it!"

Li Hua, who was examining his surroundings, suddenly looked toward a room. He then vanished like a ghost and appeared at the room's door, pulling out a hunched figure from inside.

Who are you Why are you here

This is an elderly man, his hunched figure and tattered cotton coat making him look like a beggar.

Perhaps he was frightened by Li Hua, the old man knelt on the ground and trembled uncontrollably, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"Li senior brother, let me handle this," Bai Fuhuan also walked over at this time and squatted down to look at the old man, "Do you know who I am"

Hearing Bai Fuhuan's words, the old man slightly raised his head and looked at Bai Fuhuan, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Seeing that the elder didn't recognize him, Bai Fuhuan spoke again, "I am Bai Fuhuan, son of Bai Wei and young master of the Bai residence!"

As Bai Fuhuan introduced himself, the elder looked at him again with care, an indistinct figure slowly merging with the person before his eyes in his mind.

"Young Master Bai"

Seeing the old man seem to recognize him, Bai Fu's heart leaped with joy, "Yes, that's me."

"I ask you, where is my father Where has he gone"

"Also, how come there's no one else in the house besides you"

A series of questions poured out of Bai Fuhuan's mouth, leaving the old man stunned. He then trembled and stammered a response.

"They... they're all dead!"

"What Dead!"

Bai Fuhuan suddenly stood up from the ground, and a burst of imposing aura erupted from his body, bending the dry grass on the floor.

What's going on Explain yourself!

Unfortunately, this old man was just a gatekeeper at Bai Mansion before. He didn't know anything about those things. The only thing he knew was that the night Bai Wei took many people away, and they never came back since then.

From the old man, Bai Fuhuan couldn't get any answers. His brow furrowed immediately, and then he seemed to have thought of something as he strode out the door.

"Bai Shidi, where are you going"

"Find out from someone what happened the night they fell to the ground!"

Bai Fuhuan's search for people was actually very simple; just head to the taverns and gambling dens in Feilong City.

Since the daytime brothels weren't open, Bai Fuhuan went directly to Qiong Yun Lou. He knew that this Qiong Yun Lou was also one of his family's properties at the time.

Bai Fuhuan only entered before quickly walking back out. He found, after strolling around the restaurant, that no one seemed to recognize him.

Fearful of publicly proclaiming himself as the young master of the Bai family, Bai Fuhuan immediately left the restaurant and started walking towards other places.

One tavern after another, one gambling den after another. From day till night, Bai Fuhuan almost visited every shop under his family's business, but he came up empty-handed.

This made Bai Fuhuan feel increasingly uneasy in his heart, and he also realized that the extermination of the Bai family was no easy feat.

This is almost like completely wiping out his family in the entire Flying Dragon City, leaving no trace whatsoever!

This is also why Bai Fuhuan, after visiting so many places, was still unrecognized by anyone. Because almost everyone who knew Bai Fuhuan were considered mid- to high-level members of the Bai family's power, and these people were almost wiped out that night.

Not until the first lanterns illuminated the night did the brothels begin to open their doors, and then Bai Fuhuan finally found a clue.

She was a courtesan who had once shared wine with Bai Fuhuan. She remembered him because of his status and generosity.

"Young Master Bai"

This sentence to Bai Fuhuan now is like heavenly music, after running all day finally someone recognized him.

Not until half an hour later did Bai Fuhuan step out of the brothel and return to the Bai residence.

There are many rumors in the brothel, some true and some false. Under Bai Fuhua's generous offer of money, that courtesan told Bai Fuhua everything she had heard about the Bai family.

These messages' authenticity are difficult for the courtesans to discern, so Bai Fuhuan needs to sort them out himself.

After locking himself in his room for an entire night, Bai Fuhuan opened the door and walked out.
