The North Emperor was somewhat puzzled by Wei Cangqiong's behavior; it didn't seem quite right—was he really supposed to neutralize him?

Anyone faced with such a situation would fight back desperately, especially the cunning and calculating Wei Cangqiong.
He, too, had been waiting for this moment.
As his finger struck out, the North Emperor was utterly unguarded, assuming too casually that, given his status, it would be unthinkable for anyone to dare attack him.
But just because he hadn't anticipated it didn't mean no one would dare; and indeed, Wei Cangqiong made his move.
And it was a strike meant to kill.
