Good-natured people get bullied, good-natured horses get ridden.
Fearing the strong and bullying the weak is an intrinsic part of human nature.
If it were during the peak of the Ten Great Sects' power, Lu Xuanji would naturally back off three miles and play the grandson; but now, after the Undying Demon Monarch's rampant slaughter, three sects are wiped out, and seven severely injured.
At this point, their strength has significantly diminished, and it's time to exploit the opportunity.
During Xu Muyun's Tribulation Crossing, the Ten Great Sects chose to give way, revealing their weakness to him.
This sort of frailty has emboldened Lu Xuanji.
The annual tributes are no longer necessary.
We need to seize the opportunity to occupy Qi Country and Jin Country, expanding the Lu Family's territory.
After occupying these lands, the Lu Family's resources will further expand, and the number of Lu Family cultivators will increase even more.
