Shang dealt with all the different Attack Flags that had been used by Peak Ancestral Mages and then returned to extending the tendril.
Naturally, no one dared to attack Shang while he attacked territories.
However, there were still ways to counter things.
For example, after Shang conquered a line of three territories, an Attack Flag from a Mid Ancestral Mage appeared on a territory behind him.
Shang couldn't defend that territory since he was too powerful.
Because of that, just having Shang wasn't enough to secure all the territories.
Shang continued attacking territory after territory, conquering one territory per hour.
He did that for weeks.
However, the progress the Lightning Manor made was only minor since the Judgment Palace kept counterattacking.
