Chapter 1691 - 122: Scapegoat! King of the North_3
The face of the King of the North wasn’t looking too good either, and he said in a deep voice, "Since the Chao Clan first broke the rules, our Yun family will naturally not stand by idly. However, this matter is of great importance and cannot be handled rashly. What I mean is that we should first consult with Her Majesty the Immortal Emperor, to let her make a decision. With just one order from her, even if the North Rigion Army were to launch a full-scale operation towards the Liang Country, it wouldn’t be impossible."
"But, Old Ancestor, what Fugui means is that under no circumstances should this matter alarm the Immortal Emperor," Yun Mengyu hurriedly interrupted. "To cover my tracks on this return, I even threw a princess’s tantrum."
With these words, everyone’s gaze fell on Wang Fugui, as if asking the significance of his decision. Though young, Wang Fugui’s experience was formidable, one couldn’t underestimate him.
"Dear Elders," Wang Fugui leisurely stood up and cupped his hands as he explained, "Based on the intelligence we currently have, this operation is a private action of the Little Demon Sovereign Chao Qianjue. Our judgment is that even the Demon Lord likely isn’t aware. If we alert Her Majesty the Immortal Emperor just because of the Little Demon Sovereign’s moves, wouldn’t that give him a bit too much credit?"
"Moreover, given the grim situation on the battlefield beyond the territories, both Her Majesty the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor are inclined to avoid conflict to prevent another Immortal Demon war. Therefore, upon hearing of this, Her Majesty the Immortal Emperor would most likely communicate with the Demon Emperor through some diplomatic channel, and the Demon Emperor would probably reprimand the Little Demon Sovereign and order him to withdraw troops. After that, there probably won’t be any further developments."
The expression of the King of the North paused slightly.
Having lived for several millennia, he had seen and known much about the "communication" methods between the Immortal-Demon Dynasties and naturally understood that this was indeed the most likely outcome.
But he was still somewhat puzzled, "Isn’t that outcome favorable?"
