North, Capital City.
The news that Esoteric Buddhism's Lotus King of Law had submitted to the Emperor spread throughout the Capital City, causing unrest among the people. The Jurchens and the Mongolian people, many of whom were followers of Esoteric Buddhism, were terrified now that the divine figures of Esoteric Buddhism had pledged allegiance to the White Emperor Sect.
This was different from the previous nominal submission which was merely an acknowledgment of Chang Country's status and the Emperor's identity, rather than a personal submission by the Lotus King of Law.
Initially, people saw this as a temporary expedient due to Chang Country's significant influence.
But now, the act of submitting after a debate before all under heaven marked a true submission.
Therefore, the people of the Northern Lands were anxious, and many of them somewhat believed that the South was the true orthodoxy.
