The Dragon Chancellor's move completely exposed his identity. This was exactly the effect Yi Tianyun wanted. Although everyone knew the Dragon Chancellor might have a connection to the Netherworld Empire, no one knew just how deep that connection ran. From the looks of it now, the connection was extremely deep; he was undoubtedly a spy.
Knowing this might have seemed meaningless, but at least it confirmed the Dragon Chancellor wasn't being coerced—he was a master spy. It wasn't that the Celestial Dragon Empire was unfair; it was simply this spy who had come to sow discord.
This caused the commanders on the Dragon Chancellor's side to waver. Many had chosen to follow the Dragon Chancellor largely out of dissatisfaction with the Ren Family's current state, hoping he would change everything. They never expected him to be a spy, which meant they were truly fighting for the Netherworld Empire, not the Celestial Dragon Empire.
