No one was willing to eat feces—not dog feces, horse feces, or any other sort of feces.
And these princes of the Chen clan had just returned to the capital and ascended to the summit of human existence. Which one of them would happily go back to eating feces?
The Prince of Zhongshan was not happy, nor was the Prince of Luling. Even that absolute good-for-nothing the Prince of Louyang was probably also not happy.
But Wang Po had come to the capital and they could do nothing about it. This was what was meant by eating feces.
The only exception was if the Prince of Xiang personally came forward.
The problem was that everyone knew why Prince Chen Liu had gone to Luoyang, and they also knew why the Prince of Xiang's estate was so quiet today.
When he thought about what happened that night, the Prince of Zhongshan's face turned even nastier as he coldly cursed, ”Truly an ambitious pack of wolves, a greed that can never be satisfied!”
Even if the Prince of Xiang did appear, the matter wasn't guaranteed to be settled.
Wang Po was that sharpest of blades.
Behind him were Scholartree Manor, Mount Li, Holy Maiden Peak, and the several dozen other sects and noble clans of the south.
This was too great a mobilization, too astonishing. It shocked the capital and awed the world.
The Li Palace remained silent to Xu Yourong's arrangements, as did the Imperial Palace.
The two martial brothers that were the Emperor and the Pope said nothing at all, but this did not mean that they would do nothing.
If Shang Xingzhou did not react, if the response of the Imperial Court and these princes was a little weak, these martial brothers could borrow the massive waves, pushed forward by Xu Yourong's powers of mobilization and daring, in order to remove the authority of the princes and those Divine Generals, completely altering the structure of the Imperial Court.
Only if Shang Xingzhou immediately returned to the capital was there a chance of staunching this wave, as only he had sufficient prestige and ability.
Or else the princes of the Chen clan would have to summon the troops back to the capital to protect themselves.
In the unending flames of war, nobody could know what the final result would be.
This was also what puzzled the Prince of Luling and the Xiaoling Divine General.
Why was Xu Yourong doing this?
In her capacity as Holy Maiden, did she really hope to see the chaos of war, the people drifting aimlessly across the land, and the fine future of the Human race going up in flames?
The Prince of Zhongshan took a glance at the sky while he listened to the cries of geese in the distance. A glint of light flashed across his slightly squinted eyes.
He had gone over the entire matter twice in his mind and ultimately obtained one conclusion.
It seemed like the true conclusion, but it was so simple that he could hardly believe it.
Was Xu Yourong doing all these things just to force the venerable Daoist to return to the capital?
But if the venerable Daoist really did return, what could she do?
No matter how many experts of the south were present, how deep the resources of the Orthodoxy were, and how formidable Wang Po's power was, or how indescribably exquisite her and Chen Changsheng's harmonious sword art was…
Could they really manage to kill the venerable Daoist?
……
……
Many people could not understand Xu Yourong's objective in doing all these things.
They also could not understand how she could order so many sects and noble clans to come to the capital.
Her status in the south was naturally one of incredible esteem and she had a grand prestige.
But this was truly a major event, one that could invite a massacre.
The priests who were leading the experts from the south and their disciples to their respective halls were also troubled by these questions, but they could not bring themselves to voice them.
