For Pei Xuanjing, the powerhouse who had suddenly risen up, various religious sects and families, along with many other powerhouses, had not yet reacted, nor had they taken any countermeasures.
It wasn't that they didn't want to act or counterbalance, but rather that the rise of the opponent was too swift, matching Meng Wushang in strength as soon as he first demonstrated his power, appearing as if from nowhere.
Such a figure was already standing at the peak of the Great Thousand Worlds; what countermeasures could they possibly have? They were simply unable to make any move and could only watch as the opponent rose.
Facing such a powerhouse, the various factions lacked any method of restraint. The measures once used to suppress opponents and newcomers no longer held any significance, which is exactly why, despite knowing that the emergence of Shenxiao Tao would affect their interests, they still accepted this situation.
