The cultivator issued one last warning when she refused to compromise,
"Leave Da Li! Go anywhere you wish, no one will care about your whereabouts; but if you insist on wading into these troubled waters, then something that nobody wants to see might happen. Many cultivators from the Anchor Chain have already been buried in the Jinxiu Continent, one more won't make a difference."
Empress Shui contemplated, "I am the mother of Da Li Country, and I must respect the will of the millions of mortals here. If they wish to be united with the Southeast as one, I will not insist; but if they are unwilling, I will not betray them."
This was her final limit, not even the royal power of Da Li was worth insisting upon, only the mortals' will mattered to her. If even this wasn't respected, then she would have no other method but to staunchly uphold her principles.
