The Yinling Demon Clan was very anxious, as they were somewhat unclear about the movements of the Quanzhen Sect. Were they initiating a great human-demon war in Yinling, or was it just an isolated case targeting the giant rat clan?
If they were to fight back, the involvement would be massive, far beyond what the Yinling Demon Clan, and even the Shan Country Demon Clan, could face alone. If the confrontations continued like this, the inevitable outcome would be chaos throughout the entire continent, and no race would want to bear such responsibility.
Since the birth of sentience on the Jinxiu Continent, such misunderstandings had occurred many times, and each time the resulting turmoil had brought disaster to all beings of the entire continent. Thus, everyone gradually gained experience and developed a certain degree of tolerance. Regardless of which side it was, they would think twice and cool down before fully committing to all-out war.
