During the Cultivator Assembly, many enforcers would be on hand to keep it running smoothly. Fighting was forbidden in the central region of the Land of Chaos during the event; anyone who broke the rule would face a joint reprisal from the various sects and factions. But outside the central region, things were different, and after the Cultivator Assembly ended, the enforcers would disperse. If anyone took the opportunity to track down and retaliate against Lingxiao Pavilion, even Wu De and Old Man Ling might not be able to stop them. After all, there were many immortals lingering in the Cultivation World, especially in major sects like Ten Thousand Swords Cliff.
After a moment's thought, Ling Tian understood. He nodded. "I understand. Until Lingxiao Pavilion is strong enough, we need to keep a low profile. If the Cultivator Assembly weren't an opportunity for Lingxiao Pavilion to recruit disciples and rise to prominence, I wouldn't have planned to attend. It would mean exposing our strength too early, which isn't ideal."
"As long as you understand, kid." Po Qiong's worry eased a little. Seeing Ling Tian's brows still knitted, he reassured him, "Ling Tian, you don't need to worry too much. Lingxiao Pavilion has made friends with powerful factions like the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan, the Great Strength Divine Ox, the Mysterious Ice Silkworm, Dayan Palace, and Tianyin Temple. With them backing you, Ten Thousand Swords Cliff and the others won't dare act too openly."
"Heh, with absolute strength on their side, those people from Ten Thousand Swords Cliff probably don't have to worry about much at all." Ling Tian sneered. A moment later, he shook his head. "Besides, we can't pin our hopes on other factions. We have to grow strong ourselves. Only then will others think twice before bullying us."
