As the Saint Child of the Wang Clan of the South, deciphering the hearts of people was a skill etched into Wang Chan's very bones. He understood that the believers of the Wuyi Sect were fools, and he also recognized their common weakness: fragility.
Either they were outrageously arrogant, dismissing everything around them, or they became utterly disheartened upon facing setbacks, unable to find a stable equilibrium between these two extreme states of emotion.
Such people were easily led and comforted. After Wang Wei's emotive performance, the followers of the Wuyi Sect regained their spirits.
No one mentioned the failure at Ghost King Mountain anymore; instead, they embarked on a second round of regrouping for conquest, tucking away their failure and amassing strength to reclaim what they had lost in a month's time. Thus, their methods became even more brutal.
