War Reparations

When the Three Daoist Sects entered the fray and stood on Penglai Immortal Kingdom's side,

no one believed it was out of respect for Penglai Immortal Kingdom. They all thought it was because of Su Qing. Otherwise, why had they not entered earlier or later? Why had they waited until after Su Qing joined the battle?

"Sure enough, brute force cannot overpower justice! The Three Daoist Sects have stood with justice and chosen to sanction those vile scoundrels of the Eastern King Sect alongside us!"

"I can understand the Three Daoist Sects wanting to mediate this dispute, but I cannot understand why they chose to take Su Qing's side and Penglai Immortal Kingdom's side. Could it be that, in their eyes, the Eastern King Sect—the strongest sect beneath the Three Daoist Sects—is less important than Su Qing? They are willing to risk offending the Eastern King Sect just to back him?"

"Exactly, why? Never mind Spirit Treasure Sect and Supreme Sect for now—wasn't Primordial Beginning Sect in cahoots with the Eastern King Sect, joining forces to strangle Kaiyuan Immortal Kingdom's Hundred Arts Industry in the markets of the heavens? Why were they now stabbing the Eastern King Sect in the back and standing with Su Qing?"

All sects and cultivators discussed the matter heatedly. While they rejoiced that the Three Daoist Sects had stepped in and that this great battle would soon end, they could not understand why the Three Daoist Sects had so firmly sided with Su Qing. From the standpoint of strength and status, Penglai Immortal Kingdom was simply incomparable to the Eastern King Sect. Judging by the Three Daoist Sects' past conduct, they should either have favored the Eastern King Sect, also a Major Sect of the Heavens and one that would be highly useful to them
