Maitreya had arrived early, not wishing to reveal himself prematurely and let the people of Gusu know it was the Maitreya Sect involved. He simply wanted to wait until the Tang family's Evil Qi soared to the heavens, after which the angry people of Gusu would wash their hands of the Tang family. Then he could swoop in to clean up and claim the fruits of victory, facilitating future rule.
