Such an attitude left Meng Fuyao with nothing to say.
What more could be said?
What should have been done, and what should not have been done, this person had done it all.
What he should have had, and what he should not have had, he also had it all.
With overwhelming power and ample resources, his actions were domineering and could be described as extreme, yet they were not entirely without leeway, leaving a way out, creating a space, thus suppressing one group, and winning over another...
Whether or not he could succeed and do well, that remains to be seen.
But to have come this far shows the firmness of his resolve, which is unchangeable.
So, what more is there to say?
"So be it!"
Meng Fuyao sighed, stood up, and said, "I shall follow the fellow Daoist's advice and restrain my sect's disciples. As for the independent cultivators, we are truly helpless and can only trouble the fellow Daoist to take extra care and effort."
