Take Jintai Gate for instance.
After witnessing the fate of their once-familiar neighbor, Phoenix High Mountain,
how could Jintai Gate not panic in the face of Giant Spirit Sect invading the Southern Domain, occupying Qingyu Country, and becoming their new neighbor?
The lesson was right in front of them; the bones of Phoenix High Mountain hadn't even gone cold yet.
Wouldn't Jintai Gate fear becoming the next Phoenix High Mountain?
And the answer is, of course, they were afraid.
So, when Taiping Dao emerged in the Southern Domain, Jintai Gate, feeling threatened by Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, immediately gravitated towards them, volunteering to be the pawn in Taiping Dao's struggle against Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
Such submissive behavior was not without reason.
Because if they didn't cling to Taiping Dao now, once Jiuzhou Immortal Gate repelled Taiping Dao, Jintai Gate would be the next to suffer.
