Prince Yu was assassinated with poison.
He first sent assassins to kill the Sovereign of Xiliang and failed, and this was the grim retaliation he suffered.
Afterward, the Xiliang Kingdom stated outright that anyone could play dirty. If you use such tactics, you can't blame others for doing the same.
The situation instantly became a whirlwind of turmoil.
The various factions weren't shocked by the assassination of a prince, but by the fact that the Xiliang Kingdom had actually succeeded.
Normally, all major powers have practitioners of the Daoist Lineages protecting them.
It should have been impossible for poison to succeed, yet Prince Yu was dead.
This implied that the spy planted by the Xiliang Kingdom within Prince Yu's faction had climbed to an extremely high position.
Not even the practitioners of the Daoist Lineages had been able to stop it.
'If they could plant a spy in Prince Yu's faction, could they have planted one in ours?'
