"It seems the top priority right now is to instigate the plan immediately, without any delays. Only by being thoroughly prepared can we stand firm in the upcoming storm," concluded Pei Xuanjing.
Unless Pei Xuanjing was willing to retreat after those people returned, after all, with his current strength, even in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, he would be considered a great cultivator and could dominate a faction. If he was willing to step back and protect himself, there wouldn't be any major issues.
However, this would mean giving up his layout and the advantageous situation he had painstakingly established. This was something Pei Xuanjing couldn't accept or tolerate.
Therefore, conflict was inevitable. Only by truly contending could he establish his authority and demonstrate his strength to secure his own position.
Now, those people were in the shadows, while Pei Xuanjing and his allies were in the open.
