Furthermore, a Holy Land taking territory across provinces compared to Leiyin Temple doing the same are entirely different concepts. Leiyin Temple is only a Quasi-Holy Land, a single word difference means worlds apart. By occupying Tongling, they only offended the Demon Sect, without affecting the covenant signed between the top ten Holy Lands in Jin Land in the slightest.
Being able to severely damage the Rakshasa Demon Religion while preventing Xuzhou from benefiting... this was indeed the purpose of their journey.
Just now, the last statement made by Lian Ningxue was:
"When the Demon Sect is torn apart like this, do you guess if Sikong Xingzhou will fight desperately with this group of bald monks..."
This undoubtedly indicated that the matter was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface, clearly allowing Leiyin Temple to take Tongling involved significant strategic calculations.
