"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.

To even speak ruthlessly, in the coming chaos, there will inevitably be wars leading to the fall of cultivators. Having the peripheral forces fight for them is far better than sacrificing all of the Shenxiao Sect's disciples, as nurturing a disciple is not easy for them.

For a force like the Shenxiao Sect, they already occupy a significant share of interests. Even if they do not wish to gain more in the future, maintaining the current share of interests requires considerable effort.

In times of peace, the worlds they expanded to required sending one or two cultivators to stay, and their reputation was enough to deter some from plotting.

However, once chaos begins, interests tempt people, and with some taking advantage of the situation recklessly, maintaining their previous footholds in some worlds requires more strong individuals, not just relying on the Shenxiao Sect's strong ones, which requires many people.

Therefore, it is not simply because the Purple Mansion Sect Master summoned Pang Hong that Pang Hong casually agreed to this matter. Pang Hong had already been prepared, long waiting for the summons from the Purple Mansion Sect.

From the Shenxiao Sect's standpoint, they definitely must make some gesture in this matter, even if only to reassure their own ranks that the Shenxiao Sect will not abandon them, they will surely show something.

Not to mention that now that the Purple Mansion Sect has communicated, even if they hadn't, the Shenxiao Sect would have shown certain support when necessary, ensuring they are not left without assistance.

"Yes, they don't even need us to send someone to take action, just asking us to speak out when necessary, simply to stop some condemnations," Pang Hong sighed, "This Purple Mansion True Monarch has indeed calculated everything thoroughly, considering every aspect, making it impossible to counteract."

As a superior sect of the Purple Mansion Sect, even being prepared, it's not feasible to just agree when someone speaks directly. There has to be some stance shown; otherwise, other sects might follow suit, seeking help for every issue, leaving the Shenxiao Sect with no choice but to assist.

However, the Purple Mansion True Monarch's approach does not require you to send people, just to express support, making it awkward to outright refuse.

"Indeed, the calculations are thorough, but it is also truly ruthless, not afraid of others using this as an excuse." Yu Zhenzi smiled, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He couldn't help but admire the Purple Mansion True Monarch's means and disposition, even knowing that such tactics from the opposite side are the best solution. However, if he were in the same position, he might not be as decisive and resolute.
