Patriarch Wei believed his plan was foolproof, but he underestimated the influence and power of the Celestial Heavenly Store.
The assassination attempts on the Sun Clan Master and the Mo Clan Master failed miserably.
Patriarch Sun was far stronger than anticipated, while Matriarch Mo practiced the Heart Mirror Art, allowing her to detect the emotions of those around her.
This enabled her to sense the nervousness of her assistant, thwarting the attempt on her life.
Even though the assassination attempts failed, neither of them appeared in public, adhering to the store's instructions.
If the enemies thought they could plot against the store without facing severe consequences, they were truly delusional.
While the general populace's attention was focused on the upcoming discussion between the Celestial Heavenly Store and the Imperial Army,
a strong undercurrent of schemes and counter-schemes surged through the Soaring Cloud Region.
