Celestial Demon Cult:
The Cult Leader sat on his throne with the elders and supervisors. He kept tapping on his throne with his finger and looking annoyed. After a few seconds, he said, "Why don't you say anything?"
"Our situation is not ideal," said Red-eye. "These martial artists did not trust us before; now, it's even worse."
"How can they believe such nonsense? Our soldiers were the first in the frontline; we provided the best resources and the most powerhouses," complained a female Elder.
"We should just accelerate the plan and take over the court."
"That would be stupid. Qian Heng is popular, and the people respect him. So, they would just rebel even if we use force."
"So, we're not going to do anything?"
"The best option is for the Cult Leader to prove itself in this war," said Red-eye. "Increase his popularity and trust. Then, after the war or if something happens to Qian Heng, he will be the de facto leader."
