"...The Heavenly Sword Sect's Purple-Robed Ancestor is testing the Way of Laws and isn't in any hurry to come to Thunder City. We have Shapeshifting Pills, which offer the Beast Taming Sect a chance to rise, so they're the least likely to try to kill you. You previously displayed Mahayana Stage strength, and most of the twelve Mahayana Stage cultivators are watching and waiting. Only Zhou Zu of the Heavenly Dao Sect has openly declared that he intends to strike first."
At the Righteous Alliance's temporary headquarters, Xu Longyun analyzed the current situation for Lin Bai. "Master, the Heavenly Dao Sect is nominally the leader of the Righteous Path. The Righteousness Sect's laws and resources threaten their interests first. So while others can wait, Zhou Zu cannot. He isn't being reckless. He has to act before everyone else and strangle the fledgling Righteous Alliance in its cradle. Alternatively, he needs to force more experts from the Righteousness Sect to reveal themselves, dispelling everyone's hesitation and making them wholeheartedly oppose the Righteous Alliance."
"Well done, little girl. This old man was right about you." Lin Bai gave Xu Longyun an approving look and spoke with the air of an elder.

Mahayana Realm cultivators have steadfast Dao Hearts. One or two articles won't disrupt their plans. Instead, they'll turn your scheme against you, creating all sorts of false impressions and distorting our assessment of their information. Master, you already possess Mahayana Realm strength. If the Righteous Alliance wishes to grow, it should abandon these petty tricks and openly follow the kingly way. Only then can it achieve greatness."
