The leaders of the various forces in the Southern Domain were extremely anxious after hearing that the Blood Ancestor had emerged from seclusion.
Back when they sided with the Blood Eagle Hall, and the Heavenly Splendor Hall attacked the Blood Eagle Hall, all the forces sat idly by, ignoring the Blood Eagle Hall's mobilization.
Now that the Blood Ancestor has emerged, he might catch a few examples and make an example of them, killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Thinking of this, some leaders, who were feeling guilty, considered betraying the Southern Domain. However, they realized that now, with the Blood Ancestor aiming to establish his authority, betraying the Blood Eagle Hall could make them prime targets for punishment.
Most importantly, betraying the Blood Eagle Hall now, they seemed to lack any protective backing.
Turning to the Barbaric might result in their forces being destroyed by the Blood Ancestor before the Hidden Moon Sect Leader even arrives.
