At this moment.
Inside the Royal City.
King Jiaye, who was suppressing the defiant clansmen while monitoring the situation outside, also saw Otsutsuki Xushi suddenly appear.
In an instant, his already anxious heart tightened even further.
It had only been a guess before.
Now, he was finally certain that Xushi had indeed been instigating things from behind the scenes.
Or perhaps the two sides had conspired and joined forces to deal with the Royal Family.
"That damned old bastard, always causing trouble."
"A spineless coward who keeps placing all his hopes on some ancestor. He's simply tarnishing the title of [First King]!"
King Jiaye cursed and spat in contempt.
Although he knew of the connection between Longshi and Xushi as one entity, deep down, he still refused to accept that the mighty [First Otsutsuki King] had become such a scheming old bastard willing to use any means necessary.
Of course, what he feared even more was Xushi's appearance at this moment.
He was afraid that Xushi might have some unexpected scheme up his sleeve again, leaving him unable to guard against it.
There was no helping it.
In terms of schemes and underhandedness, no one in the entire Otsutsuki Clan could compare to that old bastard.
So much so that when he saw Xushi take out that divine mirror which existed only in Otsutsuki historical records, and then hand it to Natsume, King Jiaye could not help but clench up.
There was no helping it.
The [Yata Mirror] was far too mysterious, with barely any records about it.
Even the successive Otsutsuki Kings did not know what exactly it could do.
Nor did they know whether it could truly threaten the [Karma-Type Domain].
Wait, if they really had a suitable divine artifact, why didn't they use it earlier?
*Weren't they
