The forces within the Dragon Land are eager to learn how the Mysterious Moon Palace plans to deal with the traitor, the Quicksand Sect, which has currently allied itself with the Thunder Serpent Sect, adding the Quicksand Immortal King to its ranks, thus making the Thunder Serpent Sect possess two Immortal Kings.

However, if the Mysterious Moon Palace does nothing, it risks losing all face, for its affiliated factions have betrayed the main Sect, and the main Sect merely watches without doing anything—this would be exceedingly embarrassing.

Especially concerning the affiliated factions of the Mysterious Moon Palace, they pay extra attention to its movements, yet to their surprise, time passes day by day, but the Mysterious Moon Palace shows no activity.

Conversely, a force from who-knows-where, the Great Qin Dynasty, is recruiting soldiers everywhere, claiming to fight for the Mysterious Moon Palace against the Quicksand Sect.

Initially, when the forces of Dragon Land heard of the Great Qin Dynasty, they thought it was merely trying to make a good impression before the Mysterious Moon Palace for proactive reasons, but as the Great Qin Dynasty drew more and more factions, people began to sense something amiss.

How could a dynasty, not even an Immortal Dynasty, recruit so many affiliated factions of the Mysterious Moon Palace? This dynasty must not be the secular dynasty established by cultivators they assumed.

News of the Great Qin Dynasty soon reached the Thunder Serpent Sect.

Now the integration of the Quicksand Sect with the Thunder Serpent Sect is complete, and the Quicksand Immortal King officially becomes the Deputy Sect Master of the Thunder Serpent Sect.

Within the Meeting Hall of the Thunder Serpent Sect, everyone was discussing the recent movements of the Mysterious Moon Palace.

At this moment, an Elder said, "It's strange indeed—the Quicksand Sect and the Thunder Serpent Sect have merged for so long, yet the Mysterious Moon Palace shows no activity. Could it be they think there is no benefit in acting, so they prefer to act like nothing happened?"

Since the merger of the Thunder Serpent Sect and the Quicksand Sect, they have kept eyes on the Mysterious Moon Palace, believing that even if the Mysterious Moon Palace thought there was no benefit, it should still make some move.

After all, a betrayal by an affiliated Sect greatly affects the main Sect. If the Mysterious Moon Palace does nothing, how could it intimidate other affiliated Sects in the future? The affiliated Sects of the Mysterious Moon Palace may no longer obey its orders.

Even if the Mysterious Moon Palace doesn't truly attack the Thunder Serpent Sect, it should make some statement; yet the Mysterious Moon Palace has done nothing.

Such silence only makes people feel something is not right.

The Quicksand Immortal King said, "Perhaps they think that even if they send troops to punish, it would result in nothing, showing Dragon Land forces their empty power, so they simply ignore it."

The choice to handle this coldly might damage the prestige of the Mysterious Moon Palace, leading to more affiliated factions refusing to hear its commands in the future.

But if the Mysterious Moon Palace truly waged war and could not claim victory, it would become even more troublesome; forces that still feared the Mysterious Moon Palace might entertain more ideas upon seeing it unable to defeat the Thunder Serpent Sect.

As long as war doesn't commence, nobody knows the specifics of the Mysterious Moon Palace's power, so its affiliated factions will continue to be apprehensive.

Having listened to the Quicksand Immortal King, everyone thought it made very much sense; at this moment, an Elder said, "Though the Mysterious Moon Palace shows no movement, I hear a force called the Great Qin Dynasty has rallied many affiliated Sects of the Mysterious Moon Palace to form an alliance force, ready to punish our Sect."

Upon hearing this, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King, seated upon the throne, calmly said, "It's merely a dynasty—they might only wish to impress the Mysterious Moon Palace, they're not to be feared."

In the eyes of the Thunder Serpent Immortal King, a dynasty, even if it embodies Immortals, the force isn't very significant, at most rallying a few Immortal Monarchs.

Without an Immortal King, as long as the Immortal Kings of the Mysterious Moon Palace don't join in, even if all affiliated factions of the Mysterious Moon Palace unite, they pose no threat to the Thunder Serpent Sect.

However, as soon as the Thunder Serpent Immortal King's voice fell, the Quicksand Immortal King suddenly thought of something, and promptly proposed an alternative viewpoint.

"I suddenly feel something's off—how can just a dynasty unite so many Sects?"

"This Great Qin Dynasty surely isn't an ordinary dynasty."

Upon hearing this from the Quicksand Immortal King, others began to react similarly — indeed, ordinary dynasties are established by cultivators, not even Immortals; they certainly lack the capability to unite so many Sects.

Even if this dynasty were created by Immortals, to rally the affiliated Sects of the Mysterious Moon Palace, the Emperor of this dynasty should have some standing.

The Quicksand Immortal King said, "I fear this is the Mysterious Moon Palace's response."

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King slightly furrowed his brows, then asked, "You mean to say this Great Qin Dynasty is supported by the Mysterious Moon Palace?"

The Quicksand Immortal King said, "Other than this reasoning, there seems no other explanation as to why those affiliated factions willingly heed the orders of the Great Qin Dynasty."

At this moment, a Steward entered the hall and directly stated, "Sect Master, Deputy Sect Master, the Great Qin Dynasty has arrived outside Quicksand City with their punitive force!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked within —how could it be so fast?

They earlier received news saying that the Great Qin Dynasty gathered many affiliated factions of the Mysterious Moon Palace, forming a punitive force, yet in such a short time, the punitive force led by the Great Qin Dynasty has already approached Quicksand City?

Quicksand City is originally the location of the Quicksand Sect, renamed after integrating into the Thunder Serpent Sect, now considered the second most important fortress of the Thunder Serpent Sect.

Logically, there are other fortresses surrounding Quicksand City, for the allied forces organized by the Great Qin Dynasty to approach Quicksand City, those fortresses need to be taken first; when the allied forces of the Great Qin Dynasty advance, disciples of the Thunder Serpent Sect stationed there surely would send reports; thus informing the Thunder Serpent Sect of the Great Qin Dynasty's assault.

But the current situation is, those fortresses sent no information back, and yet the allied forces organized by the Great Qin Dynasty directly arrived at Quicksand City.

How did this Great Qin Dynasty bypass those fortresses?

In this level of warfare, without Immortal Kings, logistics is crucial. How could they suddenly appear at Quicksand City without fear of having their supply lines cut?

Is it possible there's a transmission array outside Quicksand City enabling the Great Qin Dynasty's forces to reach Quicksand City so quickly?

Amid discussions among the Elders in the hall, the Thunder Serpent Immortal King said with a dark face, "Totally unexpected, the Great Qin Dynasty moves swiftly; I just claimed them to be no threat, yet they have reached Quicksand City so fast; it seems there is indeed the backing of the Mysterious Moon Palace behind this Great Qin Dynasty."

At this time, one Elder asked, "Sect Master, what should we do now?"

The Thunder Serpent Immortal King pondered for a moment, then said, "Immediately dispatch reinforcements to Quicksand City, I'd like to see the true power of the Immortal Sect that is the Mysterious Moon Palace."

As the Thunder Serpent Immortal King's voice fell, the Thunder Serpent Sect promptly sprang into action; fortunately, there exists a transmission array between the Thunder Serpent Sect and Quicksand City, enabling the disciples of the Thunder Serpent Sect to quickly reach Quicksand City.
