The Qing Immortal Sect, which originally maintained order, had already declined and was no longer able to protect the survival of these small Immortal Sects.
In the Southern Domain, where Demons frequently arose, the other two Immortal Sects in the region only thought of expanding their own interests, never considering the implication of "when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold."
It made sense too.
Between Xuan Turtle Mountain and Bihu Palace and the Qingyu Country occupied by the Giant Spirit Sect, there were four countries: Anyu, Qingyang, Great Eye Kingdom, and Youxin.
In the middle lay the powers of Jintai Gate, Six-eyed Lord, and Changqing Branch, none of which were easy to provoke.
Even if the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate were powerful, to fight step by step to their doorstep would take at least four or five thousand years at the fastest, and possibly more than ten thousand years at the slowest pace.
In such a long period of ti, if they acted quickly, they might be able to expand into one or two small countries, multiplying their Sect’s sphere of influence by one or two tis.
By then, each sect would have two or three True People, and their strength would be far greater than now.
If they were lucky enough to expand into three small countries, then there would even be a possibility of producing an Earth Immortal True Person.
The entire sect’s status would be altogether different from before.
At that ti, even if Jiuzhou Immortal Gate expanded their reach, as long as they couldn’t fully commit to attacking the Southern Domain, then relying on their enhanced strength after expansion would be sufficient to withstand.
The end result would rely be dividing the Southern Domain with the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
Therefore, at this mont, with Xuan Turtle Mountain eyeing the nearby Youxin and Xiaye Countries, they aid to elevate their own sect’s status to the foundation of a Great Immortal Sect.
Even Bihu Palace, although limited by strength, didn’t seem to have any imdiate expansion moves.
But the fact that Youxin Country had descended into such chaos previously, to say that the Immortal Sect right next to Youxin hadn’t done anything to add fuel to the flas would be unbelievable to anyone.
In an era of collapsing propriety and order, every Immortal Sect was only looking out for their selfish interests, with their sights set solely on imdiate gains.
Those who could stand from the perspective of righteousness and look to long-term interests were very few and far between.
Under such circumstances.
Taiping Dao, which was an outsider with little interaction and few ties with the local Immortal Sects,
was naturally reluctant to muddy the waters and support Jintai Gate against the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
Because, rather than taking huge risks to confront Jiuzhou Immortal Gate,
it would be more profitable to hide behind the scenes, quietly expanding their own strength and using the survival of Jintai Gate as a buffer to gain ti for their own power growth.
Moreover, Taiping Dao had already been doing so.
Their continuous incursions into the Great Eye Kingdom over the past few years were clear evidence of this.
With such considerations in mind, Jintai Gate naturally had to worry whether the hope they had struggled so much for would quickly be dashed.
And after recent months of agony, Ouyang Yuan finally faced the ti of fate’s judgnt.
’I hope Taiping Dao will see the big picture, not be like Xuan Turtle Mountain, those blinded by greed, considering only their imdiate interests without foreseeing future disasters.’
Approaching the sect’s gate, he took a deep breath and prayed silently in his heart.
"Master Ouyang has arrived."
Unexpectedly for Ouyang Yuan, Master Che from Taiping Dao greeted him with great enthusiasm, "I’ve been busy with nurous affairs previously and have not had the opportunity to et with True Person. I beg your forgiveness for any negligence.
Now, as soon as those matters were handled, I imdiately asked for True Person to co.
Please, feel free to discuss whatever matters you may have with ."
Not knowing whether it was because he had self-deprecatingly positioned himself in a weaker stance for too long, facing Master Che’s warm welco, Ouyang Yuan felt unexpectedly flattered: "I am not worthy, truly not worthy. I was presumptuous to have disturbed you several tis before. I’m grateful that Master is willing to see ."
Asking for others’ help, he couldn’t afford to put on any airs.
Master Che smiled, aware of the other’s embarrassnt, and since he also had an agenda, he didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly, "What matters did True Person Ouyang wish to discuss during your several attempts to see ?"
Ouyang Yuan was slightly startled, not expecting Master Che to be so forthright, but it suited his purposes. After considering his approach for a mont, he said, "Does Master Che know of Qingyang Country?"
Master Che nodded, "I have heard sowhat of it. It’s known that the country is full of Immortal Sects, with three factions constantly at odds, erupting into hundreds of Cultivator battles annually, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
Then, to compensate for their losses, they brutally oppress the citizens, continuously extorting the wealth of mortals, even committing mass slaughters.
Such actions have veered away from the Immortal thod, degenerating to the path of Demons.
All of Our Generation of Cultivators who hear of it are filled with contempt, wishing fervently to eliminate such tyranny, bring order out of chaos, and return to the country a just and clear world."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yuan was taken aback again; he never imagined that Master Che would imdiately label the three Immortal Sects of Qingyang Country as having fallen to the path of Demons.
In the Immortal Realm, this was undoubtedly pronouncing a death sentence on the other party.
Knowing that, amongst Immortal Sects, Demons and Monsters are often ntioned together.
And to see how the Immortal Sects regarded Demons and Monsters, one only needs to look at how Taiping Dao previously swept through Youxin Country and suppressed the Great Eye Kingdom, and how all the Immortal Sects’ powers expressed their stance.
Even sects like Xuan Turtle Mountain, whose interests were encroached upon by Taiping Dao, were compelled to outwardly call it good and express their support for Taiping Dao.
To eliminate Monsters and Demons—this is the natural justice of Immortal Sect Cultivators.
Now that Taiping Dao directly branded the three Immortal Sects of Qingyang Country as having devolved into the path of Demons, didn’t that an that whoever went to suppress these three sects in the future would not need to worry about the usual under-the-table rules and etiquette?
