Chen Qing is attending the royal alliance for the first time, starting with a banquet—an opportunity to mingle with the other kings.
After the banquet, Chen Qing has a better understanding of the kings—King Ye is an ally, and King Wu will definitely stand with him for now.
King Lin is hard to read, Flame King is infuriated, and the Water King is his enemy.
King Li and You King are fringe figures, easy to sway.
Iron King, on the other hand, gets along quite well with him.
The reason is simple: the establishment of the academy has given the low-level Cultivators of Iron Country a way out.
Before, Iron Country was barren, but with the academy's influx, Iron Country's Cultivators easily secure a seat in the academy's War Hall.
Thus, they can also acquire ample Cultivation resources.
