Jade Capital Mountain decided to consolidate the surrounding forces.
Atop the Cliff of Golden Light, Zhongyuan Daoist pondered for a long time, accompanied by a subordinate, an exotic person with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a cloud.
"Do not blindly go to war. Allow for negotiations within reason. Prioritize the interests of Jade Capital Mountain and establish a tribute-paying alliance," he said.
Different sect organizations represented different interests.
If Jade Capital Mountain forcibly unified them, it might instead weaken its own sect's power or need to use its own resources to support them.
Therefore, it would be more loss than gain. It would be better to have them loyal and pay tributes annually, thus strengthening Jade Capital Mountain's foundation without expending resources for maintenance.
