After catching the so-called Child of Destiny off guard, Li Chang'an returned to the Library Pavilion in Kyoto to resume his cultivation, no longer stirring up trouble.
It wasn't that he wasn't interested in Lu Shang.
On the contrary, he was itching to dig up every good thing Lu Shang possessed and claim it all for himself.
But things had to be taken one step at a time.
After suffering such a major setback at the Martial Dao Tournament, Lu Shang likely wouldn't show his face before Li Chang'an again for at least a year or two.
In fact, by Li Chang'an's estimation, Lu Shang might not even remain in Great Zhou. It was possible he would head to another dynasty to lie low and build up his power.
Therefore, in addition to increasing his own power,
Li Chang'an realized he also needed to establish an intelligence-gathering organization. This network had to be massive, capable of covering the entire Jiuzhou Continent, so that he could obtain news related to Lu Shang at any time.
