Only for it all to ultimately fall into Jieyin and Zhunti's hands, that would truly be a joke.
The foundation of Bei Ming's previous cooperation with Jieyin was that the Literary Sect's forces had not entered the West. Once it intervened there, no one could say for certain what the outcome would be.
