Feng Wuchen's astonishing talent for cultivation had the Shuiyue Empire extremely worried.
If they continued to drag their feet, once Feng Wuchen broke through to the Tianyuan Realm, no one would be able to do anything about him.
"Father, please reconsider!" Lei Jue finally spoke up.
"There's no need for further discussion. Feng Wuchen poses too great a threat to our Empire, he must be eliminated!" Lei Zhenfeng said sternly, his mind was made up, and he would not change his decision.
"Father! Feng Wuchen has never intended to threaten our Empire. You are all worrying over nothing. Think about it, with such a terrifying talent for cultivation, what if you can't kill him? You'd only incite an even more terrifying retaliation from Feng Wuchen!" Lei Jue said resolutely.
After a pause, Lei Jue added, "The death of the State Preceptor has indeed angered Feng Wuchen, but it's not beyond negotiation. Once war breaks out, there will be no turning back."
