My Scales Can Make Equivalent Exchange

This was the tacit understanding that had formed between the two sides over seven years.

The Devil Gate needed time to hang on by a thread, or to wait for a turn of fate.

Meanwhile, the Righteous Path was afraid that the Devil Gate, desperate as a cornered dog, would fight with deadly resolve, damaging both friend and foe. They were slowly draining the last of the vitality and lifespan of the three old fellows who had crawled out from their coffins, like the proverbial frog boiled in warm water.

Besides, even though the Four Sect Alliance had been established for seven years, it was still not completely united, not yet returned to the glory of the Immortal Alliance era; the Four Sects were still constantly adjusting their cooperation.

To prevent the Alliance from dissolving unexpectedly, or even descending into internal strife, they needed an external enemy.

For all these reasons, the current tacit understanding had arisen.

At the bottom level, blood-soaked battles left behind countless blood feuds and tears;

At the high level, a battle paying ’public grain’ ensued, aiming to completely drain the life force of the undying Three Great Old Demons of the Devil Gate and finally send them to their deaths.

Of course, this wasn’t any kind of fixed fight; if an opportunity arose, the senior management would not hesitate to eliminate a Devil Gate Big Shot, reducing four to three would be the best outcome.

After all, war has never been about right or wrong, only strategies and interests.
