Chapter 2: The Sea King would take the opportunity to frame this assassination attempt on the Sea God Cult. Even though Su Xiao's assassination was relatively fierce, in the final analysis, Su Xiao's goal was not to actually kill the Sea King—the Sea King knew this. As for the substitute inside that carriage, if Su Xiao truly intended to assassinate the Sea King, there was an over eighty percent chance he would have discovered it was a substitute rather than launching a direct attack.

Anyway, this assassination was unavoidable. The Sea King would rather endure Su Xiao's attack because it was more like going through the motions, whereas the assassination from the Sea God Cult was genuinely meant to kill him.

What was even more brilliant was that after enduring this assassination, the Sea King could use it to deal with the Sea God Cult. This wasn't slander—the Sea God Cult had indeed arranged an assassination, they just hadn't gotten the chance to use it before the Sea King was attacked. But whether they used it or not didn't matter. Now that the Sea King had caught hold of this leverage, even if he didn't stomp the Sea God Cult into the mud, he would at least mold them into a shape he liked before temporarily letting them off.
