However, a turning point occurred.
This turning point was Li Zhongnan's own arrival!
Previously, Xiong Wu had wanted to win over Li Zhongnan, but he was cautious because Li Zhongnan was part of the Li Dynasty. Now, Li Zhongnan was in Waterfront City, effectively on Xiong Wu's turf, and Xiong Wu was certainly not about to let old grievances slide.
Upon hearing that Xiong Wu also intended to seek revenge, Si Mayi's last bit of hesitation vanished, and he said fiercely, "Your Majesty, Li Zhongnan has come to Waterfront City, oblivious to his own peril. I beseech Your Majesty to dispatch the elite forces of the Great Chu Empire to eliminate Li Zhongnan and remove this future threat!"
