For those in the Jianghu, they wished nothing more than for the two sides to be evenly matched, with neither able to overcome the other in the end.
Ideally, their internal strife would cause the Demon Hall to split apart and collapse.
Then the Demon Hall's Thousand-Year Period would crumble without anyone having to attack it.
