Hou Niao felt the pressure wasn't great, but standing from his perspective, he also couldn't see the overall situation of the doctrinal discussions, nor did he care to.
He didn't know that his persistence had indirectly brought about so many deep-seated ideas, long-term plans, deceit, and infighting... To him, it was actually about fulfilling the promise to the old Daoist Chong Ling, continuing what the old Daoist had persisted in.

The monks had some gaps in combat strength compared to the Daoists, perhaps because the True Disciples hadn't gotten the hang of it yet? But if the Buddhist Sect went about it this way, him taking on five or sixty people alone wouldn't be a dream, it would be a very realistic outcome. If that really happened, regardless of the final result, where would the Buddhist Sect's face go?
The True Inheritors of the Wu Sect had seemingly disappeared without a trace.
