"What can we do when they possess the crucial treasure needed to decipher the Longevity Jade Slip-the Selection Inscription Stele?" Yan Youwang said with a somewhat helpless smile after hearing Huang Xiao's question.
"Even so, would the Various Great Powers agree?" Huang Xiao asked, still somewhat puzzled.
"They can only agree," Yan Youwang said. "Possessing the crucial treasure is one reason, but there is another, more important reason: strength."
"Strength?" Huang Xiao hurriedly asked. "Those seeking the Longevity Pill Manual are practically the very strongest powers in the Jianghu. Would even that not be enough?"
Imperial Remnant Manor would hardly dare provoke even the Demon Hall alone. Huang Xiao was deeply puzzled.
"You cannot put it that way," Yan Youwang said. "Of course Imperial Remnant Manor cannot compare with those powers combined. It probably falls short even when compared with your Demon Hall alone. But it is powerful enough not to care about threats from the Various Great Powers. This is not the Demon Hall's Thousand-Year Period. Even the Demon Hall cannot claim to have the ability to destroy Imperial Remnant Manor now. And even if those powers could uproot Imperial Remnant Manor by joining forces, who would do something so foolish?"
Huang Xiao soon understood.
Imperial Remnant Manor's current strength was enough to protect the Selection Inscription Stele, so it had no fear of those powers using force to intimidate it.
That was because Imperial Remnant Manor knew perfectly well that those people would not dare attack it.
Otherwise, if Imperial Remnant Manor struck back, there was no telling how many people those powers would lose.
Especially with the Demon Hall Thousand-Year Period approaching, if they slaughtered one another, only the Demon Hall would benefit in the end. No one wanted to sew a wedding gown for someone else.
