Chen Lingyun did not reply, only to hear Zhang Huaide from across the room continue:
"For the Yin Yang Bureau, fair competition with Lu Country is undoubtedly a guaranteed loss, the only way out is a surprise move, a wager on the nation's fate. The Orochi plan is one path, the actual body of the Sun True Dullness Sword is another."
"Neither of these paths is easy to travel," Yan Yu evaluated.
To nurture a demon beast on the level of the Orochi requires a blood sacrifice of a large number of lives. The fragmented Southern Border can manage this, but Chongying cannot; the existing social order would simply collapse.
As for the Sun True Dullness Sword itself, needless to say. A Divine Sword with spirit communication is not something that ordinary people can control, the only possibility to harness it would be to gain its will's approval, and there's absolutely no chance for Onmyoji in this aspect.
