The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

"Indeed, if they remained silent, it would be fine, but since they have spoken, we must respond. Otherwise, it becomes our problem." Yu Zhenzi nodded, showing no dissent, and said softly, "Moreover, the Purple Mansion True Monarch has handled this very skillfully, without directly asking us to take action, but only requesting our support when needed. This is a request we cannot refuse."

Just as the Purple Mansion True Monarch had assured the Purple Mansion Sect Master, that as long as they made a request, several top immortal sects that had dealings with them would certainly agree and would not object in any way.

The unity of the team is disrupted when people are disheartened.

The Shenxiao Sect is not just its disciples but resembles a broad and loose alliance. This alliance is centered around the Shenxiao Sect, with several peripheral forces surrounding it due to interests.

While the Purple Mansion Sect may not be the most important among the peripheral forces of the Shenxiao Sect alliance, nor does it solely lean towards it, by supplying strategic resources such as Dragon Saliva Flower and Taoist Foundation Pills, the Purple Mansion Sect secures a place among these peripheral forces of the Shenxiao Sect.

Even without this special reason, in these chaotic times where every force is on edge, the incident in the Purple Mansion Sect has alarmed many forces, making them hopeful the Shenxiao Sect will take some action.

Ultimately, these forces surround the Shenxiao Sect not only because of interests but also because they hope that, at crucial times, such a top immortal sect will speak for them, provide shelter, and shield them from storms.

Now, with undercurrents surging in the Divine Land World, the affair of the Purple Mansion Sect has drawn attention from all sides. If the Shenxiao Sect remains unmoved, watching impassively as the Purple Mansion Sect faces trouble, then some forces will surely feel emotionally distressed and find it hard to truly align with the Shenxiao Sect.

Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is human nature, and it is also the survival instinct of small forces. They align with the Shenxiao Sect for such reasons, and if the Shenxiao Sect cannot provide them with protection at such a critical moment, they will naturally consider changing allegiance.

One or two forces switching allegiance may not affect the Shenxiao Sect much, but at this critical juncture, if one or two do so, it may trigger a domino effect, causing all peripheral forces around the Shenxiao Sect to harbor second thoughts, which is certainly not a good trend.

Indeed, the Shenxiao Sect is very powerful, with the Longevity Taoist Monarch ensuring their safety, but Pei Xuanjing’s presence is only a safeguard. If they want to become stronger and handle the coming situation, they naturally cannot rely solely on the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect.

Ultimately, even in the ensuing chaotic world, it is not merely a contest of power among various factions. There will undoubtedly be many instances of alliances forming, and the best option is to have more allies and fewer enemies.
