In the Northern Land, there were few who could act as such powerful entities, and all these few were aligned with Prince Ling. Even if You Shiyong wanted to gain their favor, he would need to carefully weigh his options.
He would not be so foolish as to provoke people like Chu Suifeng and Si Jinhan, who were more cunning than foxes. If he stumbled, he wouldn’t even know how he died.
