Chapter 686 - 690: Confrontation
Xi Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm his tone, "While the King might think I’m overstepping bounds, I feel compelled to ask, does he not fear breaking the hearts of the city’s people by doing this?"
These cubs are the future of the Kingdom and being a king yourself, you should understand this more than me.
We all have never been to the Wood Immortal Mansion. Can you really assure us that your decisions would carry much greater significance than the lives of the city’s people?"
Liao Li’s aura gradually calmed, "I understand what you’re saying, but I was forced into this too.
To enter the Wood Immortal Mansion, one must possess five Crystal Stones as keys. The Ming Deer Clan is elusive, no one knows where they are, and without them, we can’t find the Wooden Crystal Stone.
I, however, am aware of the location of the White Tiger Clan. Last season, I sent my favorite cub there to negotiate, but something happened and he hasn’t returned yet.
Very recently, I deployed a team of Beast Soldiers to scout ahead, even if there’s any news, it wouldn’t reach us until the heat season.
In such a long time, I of course cannot just sit patiently, thus, the emperor found a way. A Blood Crystal stone nurtured with cub’s blood can work as a substitute to open the gate to the Wood Immortal Mansion."
Xi Chen stared at Liao Li expressionlessly.
His thoughts were racing.
