To be fair, given the Cultivator Alliance's organizational rigor, it simply could not have created such a major impact in Dongsheng.
If Cangwu was the "loosely assembled Cultivation World," then Dongsheng was loose even by loose standards.

Now, Red Leaf Ridge had returned in force after slaying the Out-of-Body Heavenly Demon. Its standing in Dongsheng had already left the Alliance several streets behind.
Some joked that the Cultivator Alliance had once been unwilling to give Red Leaf Ridge an executive position, but now that it was practically begging to offer one, Red Leaf Ridge did not even want it.
For the Alliance to get involved this time, True Immortal Yuan Yi had nearly run his legs off begging for it.
Dongsheng's current situation was not bad, but it was far from being secure enough to rest easy.
