Left with no other choice, the leaders of the two immortal sects tacitly allowed the confrontation to escalate, but their respective leaders still maintained a delicate balance, determined not to let the fighting take place in the open, in order to preserve the last vestiges of dignity for the two immortal sects.

The best way for them to deal with it is to spread the smoke and fire of their covert struggle outwards.

Many major sects and families sensed the danger, but unfortunately they could not defy the Immortal Sect's orders. Tianya Mountain and Changshen Palace tacitly began to expand the scope of the struggle to all their subordinate sects.

Any sects and families that had any connection with the two great immortal sects, Tianya Mountain and Changshen Palace, were forced to contribute manpower and resources, and began to take out their most valuable assets to gamble!

We have no choice but to suppress them. If we don't express our support now, Tianya Mountain and Changshen Palace can easily wipe out their disobedient underlings.

Thus, in the five years following the hunt for the remaining survivors, the affiliated forces of the two major immortal sects began an even larger-scale battle and struggle.

This struggle is different from the superficial stability of the two major immortal sects; it is a battle that is completely out in the open!

I'll find some excuse today to seize a portion of your territory.

Tomorrow, find any excuse to kill off all my disciples.

As the conflict escalated, hatred spread and gathered, leading to an increasingly large-scale confrontation that affected more and more small and medium-sized forces.

These small and medium-sized forces lack sufficient resources and have always been oppressed and exploited by the major sects and immortal sects. Their ability to withstand risks and losses is extremely poor!

These powerful sects tend to crumble if they suffer even the slightest serious injury. Consequently, whenever they are injured, unless the other party is a celestial sect, they will pounce on them like mad dogs and fight to the death.

We have no choice but to fight desperately. If we don't kill the enemy and plunder resources to make up for our own losses... we'll probably dissipate and collapse on our own before anyone else even has a chance to act.

Let's just go all in! Let's burn our bridges!

If you win, you will not only receive rewards and resources from the immortal sect behind you, but you will also be able to inherit everything from your enemy to strengthen yourself.

Especially when some small and medium-sized sects achieve a remarkable comeback in the fierce battles, transforming themselves into more powerful forces in this great vortex of struggle, these examples further spurred the other sects.

"Survival of the fittest! That is the true path to immortality!"

When someone shouts such a slogan, it means that everyone's eyes are red with anger.

Even though Xiaoyun Temple had the idea of ​​staying out of it, it was provoked by many forces in the past three years. Some disciples were killed while they went out to train, their spiritual veins were occupied, and their merchants were vandalized.

Faced with such a heinous act, Su Lin was decisive and unusually took the initiative to order Lu Zhouming: "Anyone who touches my Xiaoyun Temple shall be killed without exception!"

With the abbot's personal order, the disciples naturally rushed to resist the foreign enemies and safeguard the interests of the sect.

Although most of the disciples of Xiaoyun Temple are still at the Golden Core stage, they are all genius cultivators with extremely solid foundations and formidable combat power. Furthermore, due to years of ideological education, they all possess a spirit of unity and sacrifice.

We are not afraid of war! We are not afraid of death!

Cultivate both wisdom and courage, and be willing to sacrifice!

Let's unite within our sect and kill the wolves from outside!

With the help of many factors, the troubles encountered by Xiaoyun Temple were quickly resolved. Although a small number of disciples were lost as a result, the entire sect's disciples also had several good training sessions, gaining a deeper understanding of combat.

Of course, this was also thanks to the fact that most of the forces that came to cause trouble for Xiaoyun Temple were not strong, and the opponents were mostly Golden Core cultivators, with very few Nascent Soul experts, and even fewer above the Nascent Soul level.

Major sects with stronger cultivators, despite their deep foundations, large scale, and large population, are also very intelligent and cautious. They will only pick on the weakest in this great struggle.

Although Xiaoyun Temple appears to be an easy target on the surface, possessing a vast fortune but lacking top-tier combat power, it is not actually that easy!

As you can see, in this fiercely contested conflict, neither of the two major immortal sects has issued any orders for action against Xiaoyun Temple.

The immortal sects didn't explicitly state their intentions, which meant they could also take action against Xiaoyun Temple, but the question was... to which side did Xiaoyun Temple belong?

This point needs to be made clear!

It's true that Xiaoyun Temple belongs to Tianya Mountain; Tianya Mountain has a stronger control over Xiaoyun Temple on the surface. But the problem is... Li Xingtian, the most outstanding prodigy disciple in Changshen Palace in recent years, comes from Xiaoyun Temple! It's said that he was even the abbot's former master!

Recently, news came from Changshen Palace that a female disciple named Xiao Linlin had successfully become Elder Yuanyue's only personal disciple!

Who is Elder Yuanyue?

Everyone knows that she is the Daoist partner of the Sect Master of Changshen Palace! Her status is extraordinary, and she is known as the Immortal Mother of Changshen!

And this Xiao Linlin... what a coincidence! She also comes from Xiaoyun Temple!

Therefore, Xiaoyun Temple cannot be simply categorized as part of the Tianya Mountain camp. Even if it were to be included, it would require formal confirmation from the Changshen Palace.

The same considerations apply to the Tianya Mountain camp. Because of the young sect leader and Wang Qingyue, they also consider Xiaoyun Temple to be one of their own, and would not allow their own people to take action against Xiaoyun Temple.

Moreover, it was not long ago that the son of the elder of the Longevity Pavilion traveled to the vicinity of Xiaoyun Temple, had a pleasant conversation with the abbot, and became close friends!

The two major immortal sects at the heart of the struggle have an ambiguous attitude towards Xiaoyun Temple, and the noble son of Changsheng Pavilion also has a close relationship with Xiaoyun Temple... This seemingly lucrative sect is actually backed by a complex web of relationships between three immortal sects!

Which powerful force would dare to attack Xiaoyun Temple so easily?
