In the following period, a pall of gloom descends over the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Island and the whole of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
Every cultivator encountered on the way appears to have lost their soul.
Even worse, Li Fan hears that some cultivators have chosen to end their lives out of desperation after losing everything in ruinous investments.
Every now and again, fireworks light up above their heads.
There are also some gamblers who have racked up colossal amounts of debt after going all-in just before the price of the Spirit Mist Grass plummeted.
The debt they owe is now so massive that even if they were to work all their lives, they wouldn't be able to repay it.
To escape their creditors, some people choose to resist through force.
Others directly choose to defect, leaving the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals to join the Five Elders Organization.
