Comments of chapter undefined of The Martial Unity

so when discussing candidates there's been several mentions of the Martial Artists possibly being negatively affected by certain candidates which frankly doesn't make sense. They might not benefit the same way they would with the Martial Prince involved but regardless of who ends up involved there's no way they can force them martial artist to do anything they don't want to the Martial union would never allow it so unless one of the candidates has a martial transcendent backing them up I don't see whoever ends up being the emperor having ng the ability to affect them in any way. even if the had some powerful esoteric weapon that could take down the sages. all the martial artist would just leave.
