Under Wang Linchi's manipulation, Zhang Dao arrived too late, causing the collapse of his entire force, which greatly angered him.
However, just as he managed to stabilize the situation without developing it further, Wang Linchi tricked him again. This completely halted his progress and forced Zhang Dao to abandon his forces, ultimately leaving him no choice but to focus on his personal development.
Subsequently, he did not engage in any further expansion of his forces. Amidst the chaos of the turbulent times, he relentlessly fought alongside his beloved confidante.
Due to his powerful Charm abilities, people gradually began to call him the "Heavenly Talisman Daoist." Wang Linchi also played a part in fostering this reputation.
Wang Linchi's actions weren't necessarily to help Zhang Dao succeed; rather, he was curious whether fame would influence Zhang Dao's behavioral logic.
Based on the data Wang Linchi had collected, this was indeed the case.
