Shi Feiyang intended to go to Wheel-Turning Temple on Buddha Light Mountain and wipe Revered One Yideng out. He had never planned to seek other helpers. Aside from himself, he would bring Xiong Manniang and Jiang Shu, and at most add Deng Bagu to their number. He had not even considered asking Lin Han.
Thus, he had devoted all his attention to refining his magical treasures and divining the true state of affairs on Revered One Yideng's side. He had paid no attention to how many helpers might gather on his own side, nor had he calculated it...
