The Emperor Canglong Palace's intention to annex the Mixed Element Valley is no longer a covert affair, causing the influential figures within the Mixed Element Valley to divide into two factions: one resolute, the other ambiguous.
Now that the Valley Master has been in seclusion for half a year, the Mixed Element Valley lacks a central figure to guide them, naturally allowing the faction led by the Great Elder to gain the upper hand. This faction is precisely the group willing to align with the Emperor Canglong Palace.
The Xiang Brothers are not Innate Mixed Element Qi geniuses, thus not catching the eye of the Mixed Element Valley Master. They belong to the Great Elder's faction and naturally align with the Emperor Canglong Palace.
