This situation continued until Sun Faction had no choice but to retreat, with both sides confronting each other outside the Cloud State Mansion.
Only then did it slightly ease up.
Sun Faction still had a strong desire to defend the Cloud State Mansion.
If the God Locking Sect took over, the entire Cloud State would likely fall under their control.
At that point, Sun Faction might have to retreat to the Immortal State south of Cloud State, continuing to resist the God Locking Sect's offensive.
However, once Cloud State was completely lost, the God Locking Sect would not easily withdraw after tasting the benefits of victory.
Furthermore, Sun Faction's resistance might not have much effect.
The most likely scenario was that Sun Faction would keep retreating until they had nowhere to go.
Of course, Primeval Masters from the sect would have to come out of seclusion, forcing the God Locking Sect to recall their unstable factor, True Monarch Tian Jue.
