"This matter, of course, has another angle. Helping them get a foothold is merely to set up a conspicuous target for the enraged Government Office."

"If Chen Sheng dies at the hands of the Cyan Flood Dragon Alliance this time, the Government Office will be furious, and their retaliation will be like thunder. Even if we join forces to pressure them into a temporary retreat, that fury will still need an outlet."
Monk Xuanbei spoke slowly, as if preaching a sermon:
"The Cyan Flood Dragon Alliance and the Blood River Sect are the best targets. First, it will appease some of the Government Office's anger and divert their attention. Second, it will draw the Government's main forces into a struggle with them, wearing both sides down.
