Mo Qilin from the Qilin Clan planned to strike against the Dragon and Phoenix Clans before the emergence of the Heavenly Mandate, seeking to secure an early advantage in the power struggle. However, when he expressed his desire for the Human Alliance to launch the first strike, Pei Xuanjing's countenance immediately darkened.
Pei Xuanjing was well aware that the Qilin Clan had grown wary of the Human Alliance's burgeoning presence. After all, the rapid rise of the Human Alliance over the years had brought considerable influence, even though there was no Sixth Level power player yet. However, the presence of Pei Xuanjing, Emperor Xi, had contributed to the alliance's growing strength.
Specifically, Pei Xuanjing was unreserved in assisting minor races, earning the good favor of numerous smaller clans and amassing significant prestige. Within the Qilin Clan Alliance, the human force was only less potent than the Qilin Clan itself.
