Chapter 193: The Qian Emperor Once Wrote
“What do you mean?”
Li Shun could not help but look toward Kong Zhao.
“A strong crossbow cannot remain drawn forever. The vain rely on their own bravado.”
Kong Zhao avoided answering directly. Instead, he extended two fingers and once again inscribed those words in the air.
The writing made no sound, yet its meaning was already laid bare.
Staring at the profound expression on Kong Zhao’s face, a flicker of understanding suddenly passed through Li Shun’s heart.
Such a heart-piercing judgment could hardly be Kong Zhao’s opinion alone. Most of the high officials in the imperial court were likely entertaining the same suspicion.
After all, judging by common sense, if the Qian Emperor truly still possessed the peerless cultivation of the Heaven-Earth realm, then a disturbance as earth-shaking as yesterday’s chaos in the Sacred Capital could have been suppressed with a mere turn of his hand. There would have been no reason for him to sit high within the imperial palace and simply watch it unfold.
Yet the fact remained that from the moment the upheaval erupted until everything finally settled, the Qian Emperor had remained seated within the depths of the forbidden palace, utterly silent and unmoving.
