Xu Fan hovered above the Imperial City, publicly embarrassing Lin Cong, deliberately provoking the Crown Prince—this was no rash move, but a calculated action.
After learning from Qing Mu that the Royal Court was now under the complete control of the Crown Prince, Xu Fan changed his plans.
Originally, Xu Fan intended to use the conquest of the Land of Chaos as a major achievement to attract several princes, bringing Emperor Level experts with him, to step out of the Imperial City into the Land of Chaos, where he'd defeat them one by one.
However, the Crown Prince held court, easily set to become the next True Emperor, wouldn't fall for the trap. The Third Prince was wise, the Seventh Prince was reserved, and the other princes were followers of the Crown Prince or the Third Prince—thus, Xu Fan's plan was aborted.
Thus, Xu Fan simply chose to break before he could build again.
Isn't the Crown Prince the next True Emperor? Isn't he high and mighty, with an unshakable position?
