Because a large number of cultivators had rushed from the Northern Sea and Eastern Brilliance to witness the sect rivalry, Yueshen City had long been overcrowded, prompting many cultivators to camp out in the wilderness.
For cultivators, camping in the wilderness was actually no big deal, since they all had spells and magical treasures, and weren't truly subjected to the harshness of the elements. However, this didn't mean that they were entirely safe.
Even though this was Moon God Island, within the domain of Moon God Sect, the sect only assumed responsibility for safety within the city, not bothering with the conflicts in the wilderness outside its walls. This created a situation where inside the city was calm as still water, whereas outside, battles raged ceaselessly.
At this point, there was still some time before the sect rivalry would commence, and neither the people from the Sea God Sect nor those from the Three Sects of Dong Huang had arrived yet.
