He had schemed and plotted extensively against Yan Wuji, and now he stood at the dragon's vein, desperate to claim its inheritance. The consequences of his failure were uncertain, leaving the guards hesitant to make a move for fear of provoking the Second Prince and meeting a grim fate.

He possessed his own intellect, which guided him in this critical moment. Within this secluded location, they were the sole occupants, surrounded by an assortment of complex array formations.
