They were filled with burning ambition yet lacked any outlet to channel it.
Originally, seeing that Lord Zhaohua acted with fairness and integrity, they had wanted to follow him. However, what troubled them was that whenever they previously sought to pledge their allegiance to the Alliance Master of Zhaohua, he would reject them on the grounds that the timing was not right. Put plainly, he had no ambition for power, let alone any intention of cultivating subordinates.

This left them deeply despairing and helpless, ultimately driving them to retire in anger to seclusion.
