"The Shen'an Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, with the Jinwu Guards patrolling day and night. I doubt those from the Nine Songs organization would dare to force their way in. If the Nine Songs truly possessed the power to topple a nation, they wouldn't need to spread malicious rumors to bewitch the populace."
After listening to Ge Hong’s analysis, Chen Xuan felt his estimation of the Nine Songs' strength drop significantly. Only moments ago, Lord Yunzhong had made the organization sound as if they could easily control the fifteen nations of Central Province, claiming that ruling the region was merely the starting point for establishing their divine kingdom. Now, it appeared they couldn't even manage a single Sheng Tang Martial Dynasty; otherwise, they wouldn't have to resort to such petty tricks as spreading rumors.
"Senior Ge, let us return to the previous matter. My greatest concern about asking you to take me into the palace to treat the Emperor is whether, upon seeing me use the Dujie Divine Needle, he might have me killed due to my master's history. That is why I thought of enlisting Lady Yuji; the divine path techniques I practice were taught to me by her."
