The development and existence of any force was inseparable from the support of various cultivation resources. This time, with the establishment of the Ten Prefectures, the distribution of resources in the Great Thousand World was completely messed up, and a new round of shuffling was carried out.
Under this new round of shuffling, some forces soared, while some forces fell into decline because they were not allocated sufficient cultivation resources.
As a result, those forces that were not allocated cultivation resources had to think of ways to fight for sufficient cultivation resources. This was the beginning of the chaos.
Such chaos was like a plague that quickly spread in the Great Thousand World. Naturally, the Sword Mansion could not avoid it.
After listening to Cang Xing briefly explain the current situation in the Sword Mansion, according to Cang Xing, due to the influx of a large number of rogue cultivators and foreign forces in the Sword Mansion, an intense conflict broke out between the native forces and the foreign forces in the Sword Mansion.
These foreign forces only had one purpose in invading the Sword Mansion, and that was to snatch resources. Naturally, the native forces in the Sword Mansion would not agree to this, so it was inevitable that a fight would break out between the two sides.
Currently, it was said that the most chaotic place was Tong City, and the few cities around Tong City were the most chaotic.
Firstly, Tong City's geographical location happened to be at the edge of the Sword Mansion, so when the foreign forces invaded, Tong City was naturally the first to bear the brunt.
Secondly, there were more than ten Spiritual Stone Veins around Tong City. With so many Spiritual Stone Veins, it was naturally the reason why so many foreign forces were attracted to Tong City.
Currently, Nangong Guan, Zhou Song, and Wu Huan had arrived in Tong City. Due to the deterrence of the Sword Sect, the chaos in Tong City was temporarily suppressed. Although there were still conflicts from time to time, at least it was within a controllable range.
Of course, this kind of suppression was obviously not a long-term solution because the various forces around Tong City had chosen to endure because of the deterrence of the Sword Sect. However, once the various cultivation resources in their sects were exhausted, conflicts would still erupt. At that time, even the Sword Sect would find it difficult to suppress them.
After all, it was clearly wishful thinking for a starving beggar to listen to you, because in his eyes, there was only food. Everyone was the same. In a situation where there were no cultivation resources, the major sects were like starving beggars. When the time came, there would only be cultivation resources in their eyes, and they would no longer listen to any reason.
He had temporarily stabilized the situation, but what came next was the most difficult. Of course, Xiao Chen could also choose to eliminate all of these foreign forces. This was the simplest and fastest method, but once he did so, the consequences would be extremely severe, especially the Sword Sect's reputation.
Moreover, these foreign forces and sectless cultivators had all expressed their willingness to submit to the Sword Sect as long as the Sword Sect could provide them with sufficient cultivation resources.
In this way, these forces were like meat in the palm of the Sword Sect's hand.
To put it bluntly, this was a situation where there were too many monks and too little gruel. However, this situation was the most difficult to deal with. After all, none of the forces were willing to share their cultivation resources with other forces.
After listening to Cang Xing's explanation, Xiao Chen's expression was still calm. He poured a glass of wine for himself and Cang Xing as Xiao Chen murmured softly.
"Actually, we should've expected this outcome long ago. This is an inevitable result brought about by the establishment of the Ten Prefectures. This is because the Ten Great Ling Tian Sects have occupied most of the cultivation resources."
After the establishment of the Ten Prefectures, the Ten Great Ling Tian Sects had become the overlords of the Ten Prefectures. In this way, the best cultivation resources were naturally completely occupied by the Ten Great Ling Tian Sects.
As for the weaker forces below, what they could obtain was merely some of the scraps that the top ten Ling Tian Sects did not want.
The cultivation resources were all concentrated in the hands of the Ten Great Ling Tian Sects, resulting in the situation where there were too many monks and too little gruel.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cang Xing nodded in agreement. "That's true. However, Sect Leader, this is the root of the problem. Moreover, if this matter is not handled properly, the Ten Great Ling Tian Sects, including our Sword Sect, will probably become the enemy of all the other forces. At that time, we'll really become enemies with the world."
The Ten Great Ling Tian Sects occupied a lot of resources, which was the source of the conflict. If this conflict was not handled properly, the Ten Great Ling Tian Sects would most likely become complete enemies with the other forces in The Great Thousand World.
Knowing the logic behind Cang Xing's words, Xiao Chen nodded. "Let's go to Tong City and take a look first. Now, it's not only the Sword Sect that's facing such a problem, the other Ling Tian Sects are also facing the same problem."
They decided to go to Tong City and take a look first. In this regard, Cang Xing nodded and did not say anything else.
Since they had decided to go to Tong City, naturally, they would not be able to continue accompanying Qin Shuirou, the girls, and Luan Luan. He expressed his apologies to the girls. In this regard, Qin Shuirou and the girls were very understanding and did not make things difficult for Xiao Chen. Only Luan Luan looked unhappy.
In the end, after Xiao Chen repeatedly assured her, Luan Luan finally calmed down. Early the next morning, Xiao Chen asked Cang Xing to arrange for the powerhouses of the Sword Sect to escort Qin Shuirou and the others back to the Sword Sect.
Now that the situation in the Great Thousand World was very chaotic, no one knew what would happen in the end. Therefore, in Xiao Chen's opinion, only by sending Qin Shuirou and the others back to the Sword Sect would they be truly safe. After all, in today's Great Thousand World, there were not many forces that dared to directly attack the headquarters of the Sword Sect. Of course, there were not many forces that could do this.
After settling the matter of Qin Shuirou and the other girls, Xiao Chen rushed all the way to Tong City accompanied by Cang Xing.
While Xiao Chen was rushing to Tong City, there were more than a dozen Sect Leaders and Sect Leaders in the City Governor's Mansion of Tong City who had found Zhou Song and the other two.
In the hall of the City Governor's Mansion, Zhou Song and the other two were sitting on the main seats. Below them, more than a dozen Sect Leaders of various forces were discussing with a helpless expression.
"Deputy Sect Leader, we really have no other choice. The various cultivation resources in the Sword Sect are simply not enough to support the cultivation of our disciples. If this goes on, our Sword Sect will really be finished."
The forces that these Sect Leaders belonged to were not local forces of the Sword Sect. Instead, they had migrated from other Prefectures in search of cultivation resources.
Previously, because of the suppression of the Sword Sect, they had been well-behaved for a period of time. However, as time passed, they saw that there was no result and the cultivation resources in the Sword Sect were decreasing day by day. Therefore, they came together in hopes that the Sword Sect would give them an explanation.
