Humans tend to get arrogant when they succeed, and the demons are no different.
The more suppressed it has been, the more flamboyant the hand that finally acts, the bolder it becomes.

Although the Demon Clan Leader was fierce in speech, in reality, she was quite steady and did not rashly make a move; she was still watching the drama unfold.
She did want to know what exactly the relationship was between the Ascension Conference and the Heavenly Demon Instrument.
At the Yuqing Platform, Yuxuan saw that the crowd was abuzz with discussion, all from the rank and file. Those who were decisive, however, remained silent.
Yuxuan called out by name, "Sect Master Zhao, what do you think?"
The scene was very much like a teacher calling on someone to answer a question.
And the person Yuxuan picked was not chosen randomly—by selecting Zhao Lingyu, she could represent Shenxiao Sect's stance. Even if Zhao Lingyu made a wrong statement, Fang Yu was there to back her up.
