Upon hearing that Qi Weihong was assassinated, Shi Yao's heart skipped a beat.
What a clever move!
It's important to know that the war between North State, Central State, and West State was to support Qi Weihong's ascension, thus seizing the greatest political benefits.
If Qi Weihong were to die unfortunately... regardless of the reason for his death, at the very least, Qi Qiaosong's imperial position would be secure.
The North State would be completely out of this power game; the outcome of the war would become irrelevant.
This is a strategy to undermine the opponent!
"Did the Qilin Prince die?" Shi Yao promptly asked.
"Of course, he didn't die," the other party replied, "so we are now locking down the entire area, strictly investigating all foreign cultivators with suspicious backgrounds. Elder Shi, you better return, don't make it difficult for us."
Shi Yao chuckled bitterly inside, wondering what she was asking about.
