Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

The forces in the Dragon-Gathering Land were eager to know how the Xuan Yue Palace would deal with the traitor, the Flowing Sand Sect. After all, the Flowing Sand Sect had now submitted to the Thunder Serpent Sect, and with the addition of the Flowing Sand Immortal King, the Thunder Serpent Sect now had two Immortal Kings.

However, if Xuan Yue Palace does nothing, it will lose all face. The subordinate forces have betrayed the main sect, but the main sect can only watch and do nothing. This is too cowardly.

In particular, the affiliated forces of Xuan Yue Palace paid close attention to Xuan Yue Palace's movements. However, to their surprise, as time passed day by day, Xuan Yue Palace remained completely silent.

On the contrary, a Qin Dynasty that appeared out of nowhere started recruiting soldiers everywhere, saying that it wanted to fight against the Liusha Sect on behalf of the Xuan Yue Palace.

At first, when the forces in the Dragon Nest Land heard about the Great Qin Dynasty, they thought that the Great Qin Dynasty was taking such initiative in order to make a good impression on the Xuan Yue Palace. However, as the Great Qin Dynasty won over more and more forces, people gradually realized that something was wrong.

How could a dynasty, not even a celestial dynasty, possibly gather so many affiliated forces of the Xuan Yue Palace? This dynasty is definitely not the secular dynasty created by cultivators that they believe it to be.

News of the Great Qin Dynasty soon reached the Thunder Serpent Sect.

The Flowing Sand Sect and the Thunder Serpent Sect have now merged, and the Flowing Sand Immortal King has officially become the vice sect master of the Thunder Serpent Sect.

In the council hall of the Thunder Serpent Sect, everyone was discussing the recent movements of the Profound Moon Palace.

At this moment, an elder said, "It's strange. The Flowing Sand Sect and the Thunder Serpent Sect have been merged for so long, but the Profound Moon Palace hasn't made a move at all. Could it be that they feel they can't gain anything, so they simply pretend nothing happened?"

After the Thunder Serpent Sect and the Flowing Sand Sect merged, they kept an eye on the Profound Moon Palace. In their view, even if the Profound Moon Palace knew that it would not gain any benefits, it would still take some action.

After all, the betrayal of the main sect by affiliated sects has a huge impact on the main sect. If Xuan Yue Palace does nothing, how can it deter other affiliated sects in the future? It is likely that the affiliated sects of Xuan Yue Palace will no longer obey the orders of Xuan Yue Palace.

Even if the Xuan Yue Palace wouldn't actually attack the Lei She Sect, it should have made some statement, but the Xuan Yue Palace did nothing.

The excessive quietness made people feel uneasy.

The Flowing Sand Immortal King said, "I'm afraid they think that even if they send troops to attack, it won't achieve anything. Instead, it will only make the forces of the Dragon-Gathering Land realize that the Profound Moon Palace is all bark and no bite, so they simply ignore it."

Although choosing to handle this matter quietly may damage the prestige of the Xuan Yue Palace and lead to more affiliated forces disobeying its orders in the future.

However, if the Xuan Yue Palace really launches a war and fails to win, it will be even more troublesome for the Xuan Yue Palace. Those forces that were originally afraid of the Xuan Yue Palace will definitely have more ulterior motives after seeing that the Xuan Yue Palace cannot destroy the Thunder Serpent Sect.

As long as the war doesn't start, no one will know the exact strength of the Xuan Yue Palace, and its affiliated forces will always be wary of it.

After hearing what Immortal King Liusha said, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense. Just then, an elder said, "However, although Xuan Yue Palace has not made any moves, I heard that a force called the Great Qin Dynasty has won over many of Xuan Yue Palace's affiliated sects and formed an alliance to attack our sect."

Upon hearing this, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King, seated on his throne, said indifferently, "It's just an imperial dynasty. They probably just want to make a good impression in front of the Profound Moon Palace. They're nothing to be afraid of."

In the eyes of the Thunder Serpent Immortal King, even if a dynasty has immortals, its power is not that great; at most, it can only win over a few immortal lords. As long as there is no immortal king, and as long as the immortal king of the Profound Moon Palace does not take action, even if all the affiliated forces of the Profound Moon Palace unite, they will be powerless against their Thunder Serpent Sect.

However, as soon as the Thunder Serpent Immortal King finished speaking, the Sand Flowing Sand Immortal King suddenly thought of something and then offered a different opinion.

"I suddenly feel something is amiss. How could a mere dynasty unite so many sects?"

"This Great Qin Dynasty is probably no ordinary dynasty."

Upon hearing what Immortal King Liusha said, the others realized that it was indeed true. Most dynasties were founded by cultivators, who were not even immortals. They certainly wouldn't have the ability to unite so many sects.

Even if this dynasty was created by immortals, if it wants to win over the affiliated sects of the Xuan Yue Palace, then the ruler of this dynasty should also have some status.

The Flowing Sand Immortal King said, "I'm afraid this is the response from the Mysterious Moon Palace."

Thunder Serpent Immortal King frowned slightly, then asked, "You mean this Great Qin Dynasty is supported by the Profound Moon Palace?"

The Immortal King of Flowing Sand said, "Besides this reason, there is probably no other reason that would make those subordinate forces willingly obey the orders of the Great Qin Dynasty."

Just then, a steward entered the main hall and said directly, "Sect Master, Vice Sect Master, the Great Qin Dynasty has arrived outside Liusha City with its punitive army!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. How could it be so fast?

They had just received news that the Great Qin Dynasty had gathered a large number of affiliated forces of the Xuan Yue Palace to form a punitive army. How long had it been? The punitive army led by the Great Qin Dynasty was already approaching Liusha City.
Flowing Sand City was the original location of the Flowing Sand Sect. After the Flowing Sand Sect merged into the Thunder Serpent Sect, that place was named Flowing Sand City. Flowing Sand City is now considered the second most important city of the Thunder Serpent Sect.

Logically speaking, there are other cities surrounding Liusha City. If the Qin Dynasty's punitive army wants to get close to Liusha City, it will need to capture those cities first. When the Qin Dynasty's allied forces attack, the Thunder Serpent Sect disciples in those cities will definitely send messages to report. In this way, the Thunder Serpent Sect will know that the Qin Dynasty has launched an attack.

But the current situation is that no news has come back from those cities, and the allied forces formed by the Great Qin Dynasty have arrived directly at Liusha City.

How did the Qin Dynasty manage to bypass those cities?
In a war of this magnitude, logistics are extremely important if there is no Celestial King. They suddenly ran to Flowing Sand City, aren't they afraid that their supply lines will be cut off?
Could it be that there is a teleportation array outside Liusha City, which is why the Qin Dynasty's army was able to arrive at Liusha City so quickly?
Just as the elders in the main hall were discussing among themselves, Thunder Serpent Immortal King said with a dark face, "I really didn't expect the Great Qin Dynasty to move so quickly. I just said they were nothing to fear, but they have arrived at Flowing Sand City so quickly. It seems that the Great Qin Dynasty is indeed backed by the Profound Moon Palace."

At this moment, an elder asked, "Sect Master, what should we do now?"

After pondering for a moment, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King said, "Immediately send people to support Flowing Sand City. I want to see the strength of the Xuan Yue Palace, this immortal sect."

As soon as the Thunder Serpent Immortal King finished speaking, the entire Thunder Serpent Sect immediately sprang into action. Fortunately, there was a teleportation array between the Thunder Serpent Sect and Flowing Sand City, so the disciples of the Thunder Serpent Sect were able to arrive in Flowing Sand City very soon.
