Wukong saw through it all: if Ling Weiyang would sacrifice someone as powerful as the Nine Kirins without a second thought, then it's likely that no one truly loyal remained by his side. To others, they might also appear as mere cannon fodder, expendable at any moment. Following such a person was akin to courting death. Ling Weiyang was a tactical genius; he knew what could be done and what couldn't, and to what extent certain actions should be taken. For those deeds that seemed impossible, he knew exactly how to arrange them to make them feasible.
