He currently lacks the strength to defeat a master at the Half-step Nether Realm, but if it's just a matter of holding them off temporarily, preventing them from aiding the rebellious Sheng Jingxuan, he is confident he can do it.
Their goal is not to kill on the spot but to capture Sheng Jingxuan alive, forcing him to publicly confess how he secretly colluded with the Dharma Sect years ago to set an ambush that annihilated the elite squad of Yiling Academy, kidnapped Dean Sheng Yanlin, and blamed Ru Lin Academy for everything. That's the purpose.
Now everything is ready; their Patrol Defense Office has set the stage. All that's left is for Dean Sheng, the main character, to make his grand entrance.
