Listening to their doubts,
Li Chang'an didn't rush to answer.
Instead, he posed a question of his own. "Everyone, has it never struck you as odd? The Twelve Countries have been at war for so long. Countless people have died, yet the fighting never ceases for even a day."
Hearing this, all the commoners and Martial Artists looked at one another in confusion.
They clearly hadn't expected Li Chang'an's first words to be something other than an explanation for his actions.
Instead, he was questioning them.
One Martial Artist said in a hostile tone, "It's obviously because each country has the protection of an Immortal ancestor. That's exactly why we're here! Why would the Crown Prince attack our own ancestor?"
Li Chang'an smiled. "If you all know that the Immortal ancestors behind each country are the very reason our Jiuzhou Continent has bled for a millennium, then what's wrong with me killing the very people who started these wars?"
His words left everyone stunned.
