"From the very beginning, you never intended to collaborate with the Taibai True Monarch again. Your intended collaborator is the True Spirit within the Dao Fruit."
"With the Sincere Conversion Ceremony as a sacrificial rite, when the Gouchen True Spirit awakens, there will be no need for communication; he will become your ally, even if only temporarily. Even if you leave, having this ally can still block our forces at the Han River. To stop this temporary ally of yours, only I can do it, and this must be before he aids Taibai True Monarch's ascension."
"So, even though I knew you contacted a Daoist Lord and set a trap, I had to abandon the rescue, focusing instead on dealing with the Taibai True Monarch under the control of the Gouchen True Spirit. Of course, if I were willing to give up the army, allowing a few to retreat, or let my master and the others handle the Gouchen True Spirit, I could spare the effort for a rescue."
