In the hall, the atmosphere had become extremely solemn.
If Long Hu had only thought of the first level "The Emperor is assassinated," then the original clan leader, Qin Beiwang, and the two elders, had thought of the second level "There is going to be a succession war within the Qilin Clan."
For a mere internal conflict within the Qilin Clan, the Azure Dragon Clan naturally could maintain an aloof stance as bystanders, and even, if the timing was right, could give pointers within the Qilin Clan, just as the Xuanwu Clan did to Qi Weihong back then.
However, after the astute reminder from Long Long, they quickly thought of the neglected third level:
Behind these two heirs, West State and North State stood respectively.
While Qi Weihuan was in power, the Qilin Clan had both allied with the Xuanwu Clan and intermarried with the White Tiger Clan, yet the overall interest distribution still tended more towards the Xuanwu Clan.
