To be honest, even Saint Rou wasn't confident it could break through Xiang City. Its reputation was simply too great. If they could break it now, then once the time came and the Illusionary Upper Void Realm fell, those humans would be trapped like turtles in a jar.
They had their own ways of blocking Instant Movement.

Moshang answered earnestly, "Do you know why Xiang City's defenses are so powerful?" Before the Karma Master Clan's living beings could reply, he continued, "It's because of balance."
