Chapter 443

As the Feipeng soared across the sea of clouds, Zhou Tieyi mulled over the Princess Daming’s response. The core objective of the "inferior strategy" was to force him into the path of the Divine Path, essentially using the Divine Path to exhaust the two manifestations of Sage Power he supposedly held. In reality, he only possessed one, but that was a secret known only to him. Once that power was spent, the Great Xia Emperor would have the confidence to dispose of him safely and shift the blame onto Yuanmeng. The strategy seemed flawless, yet sending Zhou Tieyi to the front lines would be akin to releasing a dragon into the ocean. The Zhou family already held deep roots within the military. The Divine Path wasn't stupid; if they let Zhou Tieyi grow in strength, and he—wielding Sage Power and commanding the army—were to raise his banner and point his sword toward Tianjing, the consequences would be far more severe than him simply declaring himself king in the Taihang Mountains.
