"King Ying?"
Song Lin finally realized who it was. Was Wu Yi in danger in the Capital?
Isn't the Capital supposed to be the safest place? The Seven Great Taoist Alliances are all there, each with its own experts stationed.
Although the struggle for succession lurks in the shadows, outright murder shouldn't be possible in such a place.
Generally speaking, succession battles are fought covertly, with the Taoist Alliance maintaining order on the surface.
While any means can be employed in the battle for succession, certain actions cannot be exposed publicly.
For instance, one cannot duel someone on the streets and kill them outright or use a spell in the court to obliterate a minister out of spite.
The rule of succession is that cultivators deal with cultivators and mortals deal with mortals.
Struggles must remain hidden; assassinations are acceptable, but by the rules, Heavenly Masters must not avenge themselves. However, those below a Heavenly Master are free to seek revenge.
