For the Sword Saint Faction, Tue Faction, and Jue Faction, this overly arrogant attitude was grating on their nerves! 

Many Great Emperors began to clench their fists, their expressions turning sour with each passing second. "Damnit...does he really think that's he unopposed here? The Sword Saint Monarch has great intentions!" 

"Why is he so untrusting? Wouldn't it be better to squash our petty squabbles so they can work to a better future?" 

Among the factions, obviously, the Chang Faction members had an more bias towards Lin Xiang. Although, many of them were beginning to question Lin Xiang's decision. 

"I may dislike or even outright hate many of them...but it would be a time where differences shouldn't matter. Can they really just go alone?" 

It was at this time that the Sword Saint Monarch along with the others deeply furrowed their brows.
