Chapter 1406: Declaring War On Your Backers
Something was off! When Ye Guan saw the faint smile on Sui Gujin's lips, his first instinct was that something wasn't right. Soon, he understood and looked up. At this moment, Qiu Nie and the others were all watching him calmly.
They were all in this together!
The three civilizations had been holding hands all this time!
It wasn't just Suiming Civilization that wanted to kill him—all three civilizations wanted him dead. The Old Lands' three civilizations shared the same objective, and Mu Xuanxu was nothing more than an excuse...
Not far away, Sui Gujin suddenly put down her teacup and said slowly, "As you said, your conflict with my Suiming Civilization is a struggle for the Great Dao. But have you never considered that your conflict with the Eternal Civilization and the Old Lands Civilization is the same?"
Ye Guan looked at Sui Gujin. She continued calmly, "Before you arrived, I had already reached out to them. I told them that if they weren't going to join forces with my Suiming Civilization, then we wouldn't interfere, and we would allow you to grow unchecked.
"Of course, you must be thinking that the three civilizations must have their own ulterior motives, each eager to stab the other in the back. You're not wrong, but you've overlooked one thing—such internal strife only happens when there is no external threat.
"Against an outsider, we must deal with them first to avoid being caught in a situation where a third party will reap the benefits."
Ye Guan asked, "Since you've already joined forces, why even bother with Mu Xuanxu? Isn't that just unnecessary theatrics?"
Sui Gujin shook her head. "You don't understand politics."
Ye Guan frowned.
