Chapter 178: Who is more domineering?

Tension hung in the air above Baiyun city like a cloud that was about to be ripped apart. Ordinary people from ordinary clans were careful enough not to get on the bad side of the powerful clans' young masters and misses.

The hustling and bustling of the city reduced to a great extent, and pedestrians on the street were fewer. Strong men entered the city from all sides.

Men covered in hoods were found frequently in various parts of both the inner city and outer city.

Fear gripped the hearts of everyone.

Since the Cao clan returned from the Southern sea, things had not been calm in the city. And people couldn't help but wonder.

The stone that caused the ripple on the usually calm lake continued its business as usual.
