The True Lords gathered below gradually retreated, while some sect guardians found a nearby tavern to chat.
The composition of the True Lords was even more complex than that of the Tianjiao, divided into two categories: one being the guardians of the sects, and the other being those who entered the Immortal Land to complete their Dao foundation, hoping to break through to higher levels.
The latter group further split into those seeking to form good relations, seize opportunities, or engage in soul-snatching, among others.
They had connections with each other in the outside world, but the mighty ones were all shrewd; when it came to benefits, they never showed mercy.
If enmity arose, they would strike with lethal force.
They had long surpassed the stage of merely fighting a battle or exchanging a few words to become brothers in arms.
Thus, the Tianjiao monopolizing opportunities would not lead to a united front among the True Lords.
When the Tianjiao fought them, it was seen as a child's ignorance, and the higher-ups of the sects might even be pleased.
However, when they fought their own Tianjiao, it was a matter of being unable to defend themselves.
Their very existence in the Immortal Land was not justified.
In the tavern above, Gu Wen returned, and everyone fell silent.
