In this chapter, we learn that the new emperor, Wu Jingxue, has taken charge of the cloud dynasty. He wants to change the situation so that the five martial arts families are no longer allowed to have any military reserves. In addition, he wants to be the president of all the chambers of commerce. He also wants to take control of the economy. This is a big deal for the jin family, because they have been the masters of the arts since the founding of the dynasty. Now that he is in charge, they want to submit to him. The other four martial families are also willing to submit. The zi family is also willing, but since this is a huge deal, he's going to give time to the other four families to consider. In the meantime, the yun Ming martial house is ready to submit, but the zi Yin martial house wants to submit as well. In fact, they're willing to go through the fire and water with the emperor. The martial families also want to consider the economy, since it is one of the pillars of the new empire. This means that they'll be able to control all the major business centers in the empire. The Ming family is worried that this will mean that they will have to surrender to the jing family. They don't want to give up their power, since jing is already strong enough to gobble up all the business centers.
