Chapter 1901 -s 1846–1847: The Scheming Hand Behind, Thoughtful Reflection Leads to Fear_2
"Do not think about these things, and by no means investigate everything behind it—at least for now, we’re not qualified to touch it." Zhao Baiyang warned the group.
Curiosity can truly kill, it’s fine if nothing is discovered, but if something really is uncovered, it could be deadly.
"This matter is actually unrelated to us, I only bring it up to make you aware, so you won’t be tricked." Zhao Baiyang explained his intention and then moved on from the topic, continuing with his analysis.
"Actually, for us, this might still be good news. After all, if we can see these things, those Taoist Monarchs can see even clearer. They’re definitely more wary than us. We can at least be certain they won’t try to manipulate us, unlike others." Zhao Baiyang voiced his opinion.
Although it sounds somewhat demoralizing, from some perspective, it might not be bad news, as it reduces some unnecessary worries for them.
"Even though all sides are preparing for battle, there’s still boundless apprehension within their hearts. At least, True Immortals are fine to step in, but those Taoist Monarchs stay vigilant, unwilling to be the first to act, lest they become the target of all. This time, the Buddhism School dispatched three True Immortal Arhat Venerates, which can be seen through this."
"However, fearing unlikely events, you know the style of the Buddhism School, if pressed too hard, they might act recklessly, which wouldn’t be a good thing. Even if they are punished, our lives might be at stake." Tie Qianshan was still concerned, he asked in a low voice: "Could it be you’re planning to seek some Taoist Monarch’s support and choose a camp now?"
Nothing is absolute, especially living beings aren’t machines, though rationality can often suppress emotions, when emotions surge, unexpected things might easily happen.
Even if the Buddhism School’s Taoist Monarchs take action first and become the target of all, and are besieged by other Taoist Monarchs, should they die at the hands of the Buddhism School’s Bodhisattva, it would be a futile death.
Ultimately, they don’t want to die, especially standing at this position, just a step away from the peak, even if the exchange is a gain, there’s hesitation, unwilling to take such a risk easily, dying would mean having nothing.
Moreover, Zhao Baiyang is so confident, making one wonder if he has new ideas, wanting to connect with some Taoist Monarch now, for assistance when necessary.
"Choosing a camp now is not the best time for us." Xue Wuheng also expressed doubts.
