NetEase sent a lawyer’s letter to Tencent and “Honor of Kings” issued a response. "You have published suspected infringing game materials without the permission of the client, and are suspected of copyright infringement and unfair competition," the lawyer's letter stated.

The "Honor Of Kings" Weibo account stated that it has completed investigation and evidence collection and will take legal measures to seriously fight back. The game "Onmyoji" Susanoo and "Daisiming" in "Honors of Kings" are suspected to have infringed upon the "SP Kami Qiara" in the game.
