The Witch Deity Teaching's plan was nearly flawless, but it presented Emperor Jade with a substantial flaw.
"Perhaps Your Majesty should retreat and await the resolution of this matter. Then allow the newly ascended Wood Virtue Star Lord to go personally to the Heavenly Court and ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness, and simultaneously clarify the hidden truth, is that feasible?" the Witch God Sect Leader suppressed the fury within him and spoke to the Emperor Jade.
This was the most lenient condition he was willing to accept. As long as today's events became a fait accompli, offering some concession and sending Ju Mang Ancestor Witch to apologize could be seen as a compromise.
But how could Emperor Jade tolerate such conditions? Accepting them would be an undeniable defeat.
If it truly became a fait accompli and procedures were supplemented afterward, others might emulate such tactics in the future, and what then? To agree or not to agree!
