Inside East Arrival Pavilion in Luoyi, Grand National Teacher Yu Zhen faced Benevolent Sovereign Ji Long's roar with a blank expression, not the slightest change crossing his face.
Only after Benevolent Sovereign Ji Long had vented and calmed down did Grand National Teacher Yu Zhen slowly speak.
"Your Majesty, it seems this minister still overestimated Your Majesty's influence over the Ancestral God Hall and your control over the officials beneath you."
Grand National Teacher Yu Zhen's words were like a poisoned thorn piercing Benevolent Sovereign Ji Long's heart.
The fundamental reason Qingzhou and Yunzhou had been relieved of their sieges this time was that the Ancestral God Hall had summoned a Sacred Priest.
A Sacred Priest as powerful as Mo Yu, a Creation Realm Divine General.
Otherwise, no one could say whether Qingzhou and Yunzhou would have fallen, but their sieges certainly could not have been lifted at this point.
Not to mention retaking several lost commanderies and counties.
At the same time, the Holy Eagle Family would certainly have launched a full-scale assault on Wood Province, rather than occupying only half its territory as they did now.
And as the commanderies of Wood Province responded and mobilized, it would no longer be so easy for the Holy Eagle Family to seize the entirety of Wood Province again.
All of this was because of Sacred Priest Mo Yu, summoned by the Ancestral God Hall—because of Ye Zhen.
As an emperor, if he could, Benevolent Sovereign Ji Long would have loved to drag Sacred Priest Mo Yu and Ye Zhen, who had ruined his grand design, straight onto the Spirit-Slaying Platform and scatter their souls to the winds.
But in truth, even as the supreme sovereign of Great Zhou, Benevolent Sovereign Ji Long could not simply do whatever he wished.
