Supreme Vision Master Chapter 1294: The Schemes of the Scum (2)

Grit her teeth so hard Bai Feng felt she could swallow them with her blood, she considered the grim reality. If things were indeed as she feared, that was her only recourse! After all, any actions by the Witchcraft Sect were meant to remain hidden from the public eye. Thus, a loud confrontation, calling upon the strength of the Huo and Bai Families to back her, was out of the question! This realization fueled a tempest of rage and suffocating frustration within Bai Feng’s chest.

However, a sliver of hope remained. Though the Poisonous Insect Mother was no more, the item within the Huo Family was the Holy King Tomb Map, a secret known only to their Bai Family. If they could just get their hands on that map, they would gain the standing to negotiate as equals with the Ouyang Family. Together, they could then claim the most significant spoils from the Holy King Tomb’s exploration! Once this was accomplished, news of it would undoubtedly reach the Huo Family, and with the combined might of the Bai and Huo families, her own position within the Huo Family would skyrocket, becoming even more indispensable.

With this plan forming, the suffocating pressure in Bai Feng’s heart began to recede. She turned a cold gaze upon the Second Elder. “Return immediately and demand that Hu Zhongtian abdicate. We will apply pressure from our end,” she instructed. “Force him to surrender that heirloom of the Hu Family and step down in your favor!”

Hu Zhongtian was nearing his end, and with the Poisonous Insect Mother awakened within Hu Fei, his own demise was all but certain. Bai Feng harbored an unshakeable confidence in this outcome. What if Hu Yan Niang had returned? Could she single-handedly upend the entire Hu Family? At best, her return would merely provide an additional pawn to better coerce Hu Zhongtian into relinquishing the item. Ultimately, she would be forced to watch, powerless, as her own father and brother met their end, and the Hu Family fell into the hands of a mere collateral branch.

Still, their return was fortuitous. It presented the perfect opportunity to eradicate them completely! Were they not to act, given that man’s identity… the continued existence of this mother and son posed a constant, ticking threat. The transgressions she had committed in the past absolutely could not be discovered by that man. If they were, her carefully constructed lies would crumble, leading to her and the Bai Family’s inevitable downfall into eternal damnation, a fate from which even the Huo Family could not save her.

This bleak prospect cast a grave shadow over Bai Feng’s expression, an uncontrollable glint of killing intent and jealousy burning deep within her eyes. Never in her wildest imaginings had she conceived that a casual trap she’d set for Hu Yan Niang would ensnare a man of such stature. And this man, disturbingly, still held affection for Hu Yan Niang! If she hadn’t received timely intelligence, forcing Hu Yan Niang and her son to flee, and subsequently deceiving that man… she shuddered to think she herself would have long since been exposed and become a lifeless corpse.

The thought intensified the jealousy simmering in Bai Feng’s gaze! How could Hu Yan Niang possibly be so extraordinarily lucky? She had schemed relentlessly to steal Hu Yan Niang’s husband, only for the woman to then secure an even more formidable man! And it was all a consequence of her own machinations!

Mulling over this, Bai Feng’s teeth dug so deeply into her flesh that blood was drawn. The killing intent radiating from her eyes was ferocious. Seeing this, the Second Elder nodded in satisfaction and departed. He had already contacted the necessary individuals within the Clan. Upon learning of Lady Yan’s return and Hu Zhongtian’s apparent intention to cede leadership of the Hu Family to her, the venerated elders had mobilized to thwart this development. He had successfully secured their alliance, uniting them to seize control and forcibly compel Hu Zhongtian to relinquish the position of Family Head! Now, with the backing of the Bai Family, their victory was assured!

When the time came, he vowed to expel Hu Zhongtian and his kin from the Hu Family with the same ignominy they themselves had suffered previously. With such triumphant thoughts, the Second Elder departed in high spirits. Meanwhile, within the Hu Family compound, Luo Qingtong, after observing Little Silver Fox and the Poisonous Insect Mother engage in their playful antics for a short while, retired to her chambers.
