Chapter 1028: Yin Capital
Seeing Chunyu Zhongda's expression, Ba Wudi knew what he was thinking.
Although they were longtime friends who knew each other well, at their respective positions, there were challenges that Chunyu Zhongda might not fully grasp.
Even if Ba Wudi was the supreme ruler, he couldn't avoid dealing with social obligations and sentiments, which could be quite burdensome.
Ouyang Jian, a hardworking and highly respected old minister, rarely spoke up. Ba Wudi simply couldn't bring himself to refuse him, despite his personal feelings.
Cultivators were human, inevitably entangled in personal relationships. Especially as a ruler, one had to consider the bigger picture.
How to handle Ouyang Jian's request affected Ba Wudi's image and how numerous subjects would perceive him.
While it might have been fine if it were just Ouyang Jian and Ouyang Huajin's Primordial Spirits going to the Netherworld, the inclusion of Mo Qing, a Demonic Cultivator, raised concerns. Even Ba Wudi himself, let alone Chunyu Zhongda, was worried that something unexpected might occur.
Although Ba Wudi had reluctantly agreed to Ouyang Jian's request, he had made arrangements.
Seeing Chunyu Zhongda's worried expression, Ba Wudi decided not to keep him in suspense.
