Bring everything to light, seize the initiative into your own hands, and even force the opponent to act prematurely.
The Awakened wants to keep the initiative in our hands.
"Jiang Tanyue," he said to Jiang Li, "I must trouble you to remain hidden for now and act as our surprise force."
There's no choice but to play the role of the surprise force. After all, the greatest achievement of Jiang Sikong's regency was to slay the third-rank strongman Manjusri from Buddha Country, a significant defeat for their side.
Though logically speaking, the eastward spread of Buddha Country's Buddhist teachings had malicious intent, and Jiang Li's repulsion of them was a righteous act, reasoning doesn't always prevail; positions do.
To those in Buddha Country, Jiang Li is undoubtedly the enemy of Buddha Country. Guanyin and Tan Wuwei's uprising against the Awakened is largely based on the claim that he cleansed the Manjusri clan and the Esoteric Sect and had connections with Jiang Li.
