Because of the severity of this oath, Tepid Scholar was only worried about Loki dying prematurely while he threw down the divine crystals.
While he was doing this, he said to Heavenly Eye, "It seems I have underestimated this dragon. I thought it was bad enough that he was recruiting Dao Lords to protect him, but what he is doing is much worse than that."
Without waiting for her to ask what he meant, he said, "I had planned to ambush him when he advanced. I wanted to do so regardless of how many people he managed to recruit to protect him."
