Don't Provoke the Turtle

"But what if the other sects in Dongyun become restless because of the high price offered by Grandfather to Qingyuan?" Hall Master Luo asked.

The sects in Dongyun Mountain were a mixed bag, with some smaller sects always coveting the profits from trading captives and prisoners, thus attacking other small sects - wars often started this way. Perhaps it would start with just three or five people.

A small sect with a dozen people fighting could draw in a sect with hundreds of people, then thousands, then tens of thousands, and the whole of Dongyun would be in chaos.

The Sect Leader chuckled, "Then let it be chaotic. Dongyun Mountain is separated from the Mysterious Heavenly Realm by Yunmeng Marsh. If Dongyun is not in chaos, Yunmeng Marsh and the Mysterious Heavenly Sect will be."

Dongyun Mountain was vast, but it was nothing compared to the Mysterious Heavenly Sect and Yunmeng Marsh. Could the two sides really not take over this territory?

It was just a tacit understanding formed over tens of thousands of years. If it were taken, the two powers would directly border each other, and all kinds of friction and disputes would come.@@novelbin@@

Even the smallest dispute, lasting for thousands or tens of thousands of years, could lead to a direct confrontation between the two major powers.

The loss outweighs the gain.
