Several Taoist priests spoke out at once, causing the imperial inspectors some embarrassment.
The Inspector surnamed Li tried to smooth things over, "Ah, Heavenly Master, why be so anxious... Our forces have surrounded this tiny town; even if there are demons hiding inside, they will find it impossible to escape."
"Why not wait for an hour and see how they manage to summon the Turtle Spirit Mother."
After all, the Turtle Spirit Mother is a True God revered for a century, and holds considerable prestige among the ordinary soldiers.
Another inspector said similarly, "Yes, Heavenly Master Wang, and all the respected Taoist priests, it has been a long journey for us, and we are somewhat fatigued as well."
"With exhausted troops, it would truly be unwise to attack directly. A mere hour is certainly worth the wait."
Heavenly Master Wang knew that these officers and soldiers had been persuaded by those on the wall, and his side had lost credibility.
