Wang Linchi's two conditions soon spread throughout the Dajing Dynasty's territories—or rather, what remained of them, as the South was already gone, leaving only the Eastern and Northern Domains.
This move sparked a great uproar. Some said Wang Linchi disregarded the greater good, while others applauded his decision.
Most people were aware of the situation between the Baylong Religion and Dragon Island, especially as they delved into Wang Linchi's past. These two groups were known for their opposition to the Human Clan and the massacres they had committed. Furthermore, they had established dominion in the North. If not for Yan Ming King's formidable strength, it was uncertain whether the North could have been reclaimed entirely.
Yan Ming King had not responded yet, seemingly reorganizing internal matters.
On Wang Linchi's side, he had not attended court for some time, instead allowing his subordinates to manage affairs.
