「Huo Shu, night.」
While these people were discussing military affairs, Li Huowang, along with Bai Lingmiao in her red bridal veil, stood silently in a corner as if completely invisible. They listened to the factions arguing, to the compromises forged under crisis, and to their coming plans.
With Siqi and Huo Shu's Dragon Vein now in hand, it was obvious that everyone here, whether from the Astronomical Bureau or the Royal Family, was significantly uplifted. The mood inside the military tent improved considerably.
Once the procedures were finalized, it was already deep into the night. With a gentle wave of his hand, Xuan Pin made the tent and several others dissipate like mist and clouds.
"Now that Huo Shu's Dragon Vein is secured, as long as the Emperor of Huo Shu is persuaded to surrender, their military will surely turn against their former masters. The Dharma Sect is likely to withdraw to Siqi, but we cannot simply follow their lead."
"Oh," Li Huowang replied perfunctorily.
