Especially at this critical moment, if they can immediately seize the authority of the Qingling Primordial Lord to help Ju Mang Ancestor Witch ascend to Taoist Monarch, this is the most important thing for the Witch God Sect, and everything else is irrelevant.

One reason Zhu Jiuyin doesn't make a move is actually because of apprehension; he doesn't dare to take action for now.

Although Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch displays the Sixth Heaven Realm of True Immortal, his combat power is not merely measurable by the Sixth Heaven. It's not an exaggeration to say he's at the Taoist Monarch level, which many Taoist Monarchs acknowledge.

If other True Immortals provoke Zhu Jiuyin, and he fights back, even if other Taoist Monarchs know about this, they have no reason to reproach him.

However, if he takes the initiative to act, it would cause negative effects, at least allowing some Taoist Monarchs to see it as bullying the weak by the strong.

Such things are common in the cultivation world, as battles can't guarantee that the opponents are always on the same level. Moreover, relying on strength to bully the weak is a form of combat itself.

But the current Divine Land World and Realms of Heavenly Seas, though chaotic, aren't completely so yet, and some past rules still exist.

For example, in this Divine Land World, there's a tacit understanding: a tier below True Immortal, from First Heaven to Sixth Heaven of True Immortal is a tier, and Taoist Monarchs above the Seventh Heaven are another tier.

If not for certain strong individuals who actively challenge, such as supremes challenging True Immortal, or Sixth Heaven True Immortal challenging Taoist Monarch, generally speaking, there's a tacit understanding not to bully the weak by the strong.

After all, the cultivation world still needs to develop; everyone has juniors. If today you kill someone else's juniors, won't others use the same method in return?

This way, it would be an endless cycle of killing, leading to a world without rules, utter chaos, and even a break in cultivation progression.

The situation isn't completely chaotic yet. With Wood Virtue Star Lord teaming up with Ju Mang Ancestor Witch against Qingling Primordial Lord, it's already a case of many versus one. If Zhu Jiuyin joins, it might cause much discontent.

Know that this current struggle still counts as Qingling Primordial Lord digging his own grave, as he ambushed Wood Virtue Star Lord. Now, in a passive position, even his backing Taoist Monarchs have no reason to intervene.

Those backing Qingling Primordial Lord, even if aware of his potential downfall and watching closely, can only watch and not intervene.

Even if they think Wood Virtue Star Lord is colluding with Witch God Sect's Ju Mang Ancestor Witch against Qingling Primordial Lord, this can only be pursued later; for now, Qingling Primordial Lord must resolve it himself, with no intervention from others.

In contrast, if Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch acts now, it would give those Taoist Monarchs an excuse, allowing them to claim the Witch God Sect's Taoist Monarchs are bullying the weak, using this as a pretext to interfere.

Anything involving a Taoist Monarch personally taking action isn't a small matter and would not bode well for the Witch God Sect. Despite their strength, many forces are watching them.

Right now, our side holds the advantage, so as long as the conflict remains below the Taoist Monarch level, we are in a favorable position.

Frankly speaking, we seem to benefit the most and must guard against others' interference. Hence, Zhu Jiuyin's presence serves as a precaution to deter other Taoist Monarchs from stepping in.

However, the situation changes swiftly; currently, instead of appearing Taoist Monarchs, several of the Five Old Lords have suddenly returned.

Wood Virtue Star Lord and Ju Mang Ancestor Witch, amidst the battle, may not be well-informed about external developments. They're quite surprised yet have no time to ponder why the Five Old Lords have returned.

But Zhu Jiuyin, close to the battlefield, understands everything well, especially the current chaotic state of the Myriad Laws Realm.

Existing in the Divine Land World, he can't be ignorant of the commotion from the Guidance Array of Shenxiao Sect. It's likely done for him to see, with no attempt at concealment.

"I didn't expect this Taoist Monarch to take action." Zhu Jiuyin frowned slightly seeing the return of the Five Old Lords.

Compared to the appearance of the Five Old Lords, he's more concerned about the underlying issues. Does this imply that Longevity Taoist Monarch has some other ideas about this matter?

This must be considered, as such an ultimate strong figure represents not just himself but countless strong individuals and forces behind him.

Even someone as powerful as Zhu Jiuyin is uncertain of Longevity Taoist Monarch's intentions, unsure of what he plans to do.

At his level, the information he receives far exceeds that of many True Immortals or even Taoist Monarchs. He knows the Witch God Sect has some cooperation with Longevity Taoist Monarch, based on a mutual future plan.

Even if not a full strategic alliance, they should at least have some tacit mutual understanding in certain matters, not deliberately hindering each other's strength.

In their cooperation, Longevity Taoist Monarch requires all twelve of the Witch God Sect's Ancestral Witches to be present, assisting him for the next step, serving as the foundation of their cooperation.

Thus, not long ago, the invitation of Fire Virtue Star Lord to assume the Honorable Position Zhurong by Witch God Sect Leader went so smoothly, undoubtedly influenced by Longevity Taoist Monarch.

Despite little past contact with Fire Virtue Star Lord, over the years, even without a strategic alliance with Shenxiao Sect, they've had plenty of interactions with each other.

The Longevity Taoist Monarch's control over the Ancestral Witch of Thunder couldn't escape Fire Virtue Star Lord's notice, forming the basis of his partial trust, willing to assume the Honorable Position Zhurong.

Otherwise, even if aware of the unpromising prospects in the Heavenly Court, as a formidable Taoist Monarch, with his friends and confidence, he need not necessarily choose the Witch God Sect.

Therefore, Ju Mang Ancestor Witch obtaining the Wood Dao Authority and ascending as a Taoist Monarch would aid Longevity Taoist Monarch's plans. Even if the Nether Yin Department is managed by the Witch God Sect, without Fengdu Emperor's approval, the Ten Halls of Yama's positions couldn't be so easily allotted.

The Witch God Sect indeed has significant cooperation with Longevity Taoist Monarch, and Ju Mang Ancestor Witch's ascension as a Taoist Monarch is of great assistance to Longevity Taoist Monarch's plans.

They don't expect substantial help from him during their plans, but as long as he doesn't obstruct, it's already a huge convenience.

After proposing to exchange the Divine Position of King Zhuanlun, and with no obstruction from that Taoist Monarch, they assume his implicit consent in this matter.

Yet from the current situation, Zhu Jiuyin must consider whether their plans conflict with Longevity Taoist Monarch's plans, or if Qingling Primordial Lord is part of his plans, making him unwilling to see Qingling's fall.
