The entire South Border was in such a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.
Without any great battles, why did the Three Great Sects retreat to the "Sealing Mountain"?
It was because the cultivators under the Paperman Sect acted unpredictably and disregarded the rules, with no such thing as a "sect gate" at all.

But upon arrival, they found it was all deception.
The so-called sect gates, strongholds, all were fake... The ones who greeted the assaulting force of the Three Great Sects were the well-prepared Daoist from the Paperman Sect and the earth-shattering killing formation that the Daoist Master had set up in advance.
White Ghost sat atop the main hall, with soul tokens floating in front of him.
After coming out of seclusion,
he contacted all the powers he could.
This "declaration of war", he was serious and solemn about it.
