The situation began to develop in the Bihai Sect's favor.
All the previous resistance, both overt and covert, along with the inexplicable attacks, vanished completely. In their place, the number of factions coming to seek cooperation suddenly surged.
This was most evident with the Insect Nest.
In the past, factions often spied on them in secret, but now it was as if they had learned to play by the rules. Although their requests for cooperation were repeatedly rejected, the number of spies they sent plummeted.
Of course, this was only on the surface.
Whether they would resort to other methods in secret remained to be seen.
Thanks to the Bihai Sect's development, the disciples' stipends improved considerably.
