"Just like Yu Jian Manor and Zhenwu Sect, these sects aim to target me," the Shadow King sighed heavily. "Even my nephew, the emperor, has secretly negotiated with Prince Zhen Shan from Qing Province. In an attempt to stabilize external threats before eliminating me, he's gone to great lengths."
Prince Zhen Shan of Qing Province, formerly known as Lord Zhen Shan Zhang Huchen, now constantly eyes Daqian with covetous intent; it was unexpected that the emperor had secretly negotiated with him.
It seems that Daqian has paid a hefty price in this regard.
'The Shadow King's nephew, the Emperor.' Qing Yu's eyes flashed briefly.
Only someone of Emperor Daqian's stature could have negotiated secretly with Prince Zhen Shan.
It appears that the Shadow King's situation is not entirely advantageous; Emperor Daqian has also started to exert his influence.
"Both Yu Jian Manor and Zhenwu Sect, given the court's tacit approval, dared to target the Prince, didn't they?" speculated Qing Yu.
