The Imperial Court's Diplomatic Mission Arrives

Huai Ren had failed to convince Chen Changsheng.

Similarly, Chen Changsheng had failed to convince this martial grandaunt of South Stream Temple.

Huai Ren said, "You should know well that the Holy Maiden will not be able to come out of this seclusion for some time. It might be ten years, twenty, or even longer."

Chen Changsheng truly did know this. The letter Xu Yourong had written to him had clearly explained everything.

Holy Maiden Peak required a true Holy Maiden, as only this way could it maintain its hallowed status in the Orthodoxy and the south.

At the same time, the Orthodoxy also needed a true Holy Maiden, as only this way could it have a greater right to speak in this conflict with the Imperial Court.

The south also needed a true Holy Maiden, as only this way could it reverse the disadvantage in Divine Domain experts that resulted from Su Li's leaving with the previous Holy Maiden.
