"But now, it is no longer a matter of loss or gain for one clan, one city; rather, it has become key as to whether Chengzhou and its many clans can preserve the last thread of their lineage in the face of changing circumstances."
Ning Bufu gazed into the distance, as if he saw a vision of Chengzhou reduced to ruins and remnants after a great battle, speaking somberly, "If you want to compete, please do so with all your might; if you do not wish to compete..."
Resigned, he shook his head. Ning Bufu did not continue, as Chengzhou, though weak, had no reason to be held back by King Realm's inspection alone by the union of the noble clans.
In essence, it was largely a matter of selfish interests; apart from the Ning Family, which part had not hidden their multiple tactics? Moreover, some were causing disturbances outside, taking advantage of the Diancang Mountain, where Chengzhou's powerhouses gathered, thinking it a chance for ascension like some petty jesters.
