Actually, anyone could see that both of them were harboring ulterior motives.
Fu An-shan wanted the chief of the God Python tribe to first kill 'Li He and Shen Feiyun,' and then use that footage for further blackmail.
After all.
No leverage is more valuable than this footage.
Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to discard it.
The chief of the God Python tribe had similar thoughts.
Previously, Fu An-shan had extorted quite a bit from him, and letting it go like this left him feeling dissatisfied!
So.
He also wanted Fu An-shan to first destroy the footage, and then use 'Li He and Shen Feiyun' to turn the tables on Fu An-shan, an eye for an eye.
But neither of them was foolish; they knew the other's little scheme, so neither was willing to take the first step.
Time slowly ticked away.
Seeing that neither was willing to relent, the High Priest said, "Continuing to stalemate like this holds no meaning. Show sincerity and stop playing petty games."
