Hearing this, Wang Wu was not surprised in the slightest. He had guessed as much, because this was also the established method the great powers of the Nine Alliances, Three Societies, and Two Sects used to settle private grudges.
After all, they were all colossal forces. They could not possibly declare war on one another just because two groups under their command might start slaughtering each other in the future, could they?
The reason they were called great powers was that they had existed for who knew how many ages, with who knew how many internal factions.
Take the Hidden Origin Society, for example. The Seven Domains within it were seven separate factions. If people died in the Frost Domain, were the other six domains supposed to come charging over in a rage to declare war on the other side?
They would probably pull up a stool nearby, crack melon seeds, and watch the show.
Only a clash of the greatest interests could spark a war.
For another example, even if Wang Wu had not been in the right today—if he had simply charged in arrogantly, slaughtered Yu Sheng and his entire group, and destroyed their Spirit Capturing Ship—it would still have been difficult to alarm that Grand Unity of the Mountain Sea Immortal Alliance. At most, it would have drawn the attention of an authority on the level of the Hidden Origin Elder Council.
Of course, that was already terrifying enough, and the consequences would have been ugly.
When Wang Wu killed Senior Sister Qin before, the commotion had been enormous, yet that Half-step Grand Unity from the Hidden Origin Society had never appeared.
From beginning to end, only Elder Hui had conducted an investigation, along with the Qin Family.
After a few years, it had all faded away
