From the start of the talks, it could be seen that the Deer tribe and the Carp tribe were standing on the Empress's side, supporting the alliance with the demons.
There were probably many ministers in the court, some elders, and a few generals who also took this stance.
So then, who would stand up and make their opposition known?
In terms of both seniority and prestige, the Xiang clan leader was the ideal choice.
Everyone knew that he was the White Emperor's most loyal subordinate, his most reliable companion. Perhaps it was for this reason that though the Empress's prestige had been constantly rising along the two shores of the Red River, he had never evinced much passion. Their relationship was always one of indifference.
Moreover, the Xiang clan leader had gone to visit the White Emperor several days ago. Although they had not met, it was said that they had communicated using their spiritual senses.
If the White Emperor disagreed with this matter, the Xiang clan leader would assuredly declare this. Some of the more astute tribal leaders thought that even if the White Emperor had not made his opinion known, occupied as he was in recovering from his injuries, it was completely acceptable for the Xiang clan leader to use the White Emperor's name to put a halt to this matter, or at least buy some time.
Under countless gazes, the Xiang clan leader opened his eyes and slowly stood.
A great mountain seemed to appear within the stone hall.
In this dim environment, the Xiang clan leader's eyes were incredibly bright.
His eyes carried with them the vicissitudes of time, a courage that feared nothing, and an intelligence that could see through all matters of this world.
Upon seeing these two eyes, many of the opposition, including the Bear tribe leader, felt greatly relieved.
But in the next moment, they heard something completely unexpected.
”I feel that this matter seems that it might be okay.”
……
……
'Seems'.
'Might'.
These were very ambiguous words.
The Xiang clan leader's stance sounded rather ambiguous.
But in the current situation, that he chose this kind of words was the clearest possible stance!
The hall once more fell silent, the mood extremely oppressive.
The leaders of several small tribes even appeared afraid.
The Shi clan leader stared into the Xiang clan leader's eyes and said, ”So it turns out that you really did have a relationship with Xuelao City.”
He had expected to see this sight, but now that it had really taken place, he still found it difficult to suppress his shock.
Because there was no reason he could think of for the Xiang clan leader to stand on the Empress's side and support the alliance with Xuelao City.
The Xiang clan leader impassively replied, ”You are wrong. All this complies with His Majesty's will.”
Upon hearing this, the Shi clan leader slightly creased his brow. He seemed to want to say something more, but in the end, he said no more.
Those tribal leaders who furiously opposed the alliance with the demons, those generals who were already gripping the hilts of their blades, were all dumbstruck.
This was His Majesty's will?
The White Emperor clan had far too special a status along the two shores of the Red River. It was not just a matter of simple influence. Along with its considerable strength, it had a prestige that reached to the dome of the night sky and a status akin to that of gods.
No one dared to reveal the slightest disrespect to the White Emperor's name, let alone oppose it.
Madam Mu also had an extremely high prestige, but those tribal leaders and generals had been compelled by their anxiety into taking their blades and axes and filling the hall with their shouts of opposition.
