'However, thinking about it, even though I've been constantly on edge, guarding against all potential attacks from the Five Poisons Sect.
But all this is just being trapped in my perspective, overwhelmed by concern, and placing too much importance on myself.
After all, in the eyes of others, I am nothing more than an ordinary first-rate martial artist, at best capable of commanding a few tens of thousands of soldiers.

But in the eyes of the Five Poisons Sect, how can I compare to a provincial capital, or a military commander of the frontier?
As long as they can capture Baling City and kill the Prefect, the benefits that the Five Poisons Sect will gain far outweigh killing me and seizing Shaoyang Prefecture.
With such great benefits at stake, why would they squander their energy and opportunities on me?'
