Maitreya was planning to bury everyone on Spirit Mountain!
In an instant, Zhao Hai understood Maitreya's intentions, but these were the foundations Spirit Mountain had built up over so many years.

Zhang Ziliang had brainwashed that bald donkey without his knowledge?
That shouldn't be possible.
Maitreya and he were completely different kinds of people, and Maitreya's ambitions ran even deeper.
There was no way Maitreya would be willing to remain under the Heaven Group.
