"Do you think that the Mountain Lord, or rather the Northern King, will seize the opportunity to attack the Northern State?"
Protector Saint Zhenjun took a deep breath before speaking.
"Indeed."
Yibai nodded in acknowledgment.
"But Grand Marshal, have you considered what would happen if the Mountain Lord does not attack the Northern State, and instead, I replace you and am defeated in the South State? Once the news of such a thing spreads, the responsibility will be no small matter."
Protector Saint Zhenjun furrowed his brows tightly and looked at Yibai as he spoke.
There were systems in place within the Celestial Court. If Yibai truly made a mistake because of this matter, it would definitely cause trouble.
If Yibai had been following orders and was defeated in the South State, that would be one thing.
But now, Yibai was acting on his own initiative, choosing this arrangement. If something went wrong, it would surely bring about no small amount of trouble.
