Chen Luo returned to Duke Anguo's Mansion and shut himself in the study.
Although he had spoken grandly in front of Han Qingzhu, promising to establish new rules for all the aquatic clans under Heaven, he currently had only a goal, not a concrete method of implementation.
This matter could not be rushed.
After all, Han Qingzhu had also pointed out the role the aquatic clans played for the human race. Acting too harshly on impulse could very likely implicate innocent commoners.
The aquatic clans of Great Xuan were different from the Noble Families and Sacred Clans. The Noble Families and Sacred Clans were human at their core and still had to acknowledge the greater righteousness of humanity.
Those families were merely separated from the law by a pane of glass because their fortunes were bound together—visible, yet untouchable. Now that Chen Luo had shattered that glass with the Three Azure Heaven Execution Blades, the problem could be solved at its root.
But at their foundation, the aquatic clans of Great Xuan and the human race merely used each other. There was no basis of morality or principle between them.
These aquatic clans enjoyed autonomy and lived comfortably beneath the waters. Now Chen Luo suddenly wanted to reclaim their authority. They certainly would not be willing.
One had to understand that, to an aquatic clan, the waters of a large lake were essentially equivalent to a great city of the human race, let alone the vast rivers that stretched for thousands of miles.
They were practically miniature nations.
Chen Luo's idea was no different from stripping the feudal lords of their power!
If anything went wrong, all the aquatic clans under Heaven might rebel.
If the aquatic clans rebelled, Great Xuan's current national strength would naturally be enough to suppress
