The old steward, who had been following close behind the Marquis of Ren De, said, "Marquis, there are people from the Observatory nearby. I've also heard that half of their members have been dispatched to keep watch around the military camp."
The Marquis of Ren De nodded. "I'm already aware. The location I chose is spacious enough for these tens of thousands of soldiers. Every member of the Observatory may be in the Celestial Spirit Realm, but they're still outnumbered by my men. They won't be able to provide complete coverage."
The Marquis of Ren De was sharp enough to realize that Shen Bai was showing his hand.
The current situation was a standoff. Both sides had revealed their intentions, but neither could make a rash move.
A grave look filled the old steward's eyes. "It's a shame. We won't be able to assassinate Shen Bai this time."
Even now, he remembered the utter humiliation Shen Bai had subjected him to at the Marquis of Ren De's banquet.
