An Zhizhen, seeing he had been silent for a while, asked.
"I'll go in and take another look."
Cen Dongsheng said.
He had already tried; if he wished, he could now initiate the arena, waiting for someone from the Wanxian Conference to come up.
According to King Jiangling, regardless of who won or lost, the conflict would end here; however, the outcome would undoubtedly affect the attitudes of both sides.
If no one could win this round for An Zhizhen, the Wanxian Conference would consider whether she was a lone operator, whether to seize this opportunity to occupy the power vacuum, or whether Zhang Shidao himself would come to preside over the situation.
Deciding victory or defeat through the arena duel was a major tradition King Jiangling established for his followers, distinct from the Philosopher King's overall emulation of official institutions, he and his followers possessed a unique style.
