Chapter 1441: Ye Qing
After Shang Hongyi said her piece, the Great Daoist Brush Master's expression darkened. He looked at her and said, "Can you shut up for once?"
Shang Hongyi was clearly somewhat fearful of him. She huffed coldly but didn't dare talk back. She glanced coldly at Ye Guan and was just about to speak again when something dawned on her. Her face changed dramatically, and she turned to Sui Gujin, muttering. "No way..."
Shang Hongyi stared at Sui Gujin in disbelief.
Ye Guan also looked grim when the Civilization Rulers of the Three Great Civilizations appeared. Soon, like Shang Hongyi, he was shocked.
It was all because Qiu Yuan, Li Chen, and the other elders of the Old Lands showed no reaction when seeing the Civilization Rulers. It was as if they had expected to see them here.
Ye Guan turned to Sui Gujin, surprised and confused, but he quickly realized what had happened. He'd spoken to her about the three Civilization Rulers before. Back then, she told him that they hadn't appeared in a very long time.
And which second-in-command hadn't dreamt of taking the top seat?
Clearly, Sui Gujin had already convinced the second-in-commands of the other two civilizations to join her side.
The Civilization Rulers once held power, but the ones truly irreplaceable were the Civilization Founders. Civilization Rulers could be replaced. Moreover, a myriad of powerful experts were supporting the second-in-commands.
They were nurtured, promoted, and empowered by the second-in-commands, so their loyalty was naturally with the second-in-commands. In addition, people tended to follow whoever could offer them the best benefits.
Sui Gujin glanced coldly at Shang Hongyi but said nothing.
