The Crown Prince's Showdown

The two of them exchanged their opinions. They did not believe what the black-robed man said.

Getting rid of the envoys of the four empires seemed to benefit the Shang Dynasty the most, but at this critical juncture, the Shang Emperor wouldn't do so.

If they really fought, they would suffer the greatest losses.

Other than Darkness, no one else dared to do this.
