"As far as I know, the Mountain and Sea Sect and the Soul Loss Sect have fought several battles over the past two years, with heavy casualties on both sides and significant animosity. They shouldn't be collaborating."
"Moreover, the Soul Loss Sect has rarely clashed head-on with our Eastern Border Army. Whenever they encounter us, no matter their strength, they choose to retreat, as if they fear General Shi's 'punishment even at a distance'."
"However, this time, they are directly engaging the Eastern Border Army over a small Peach Blossom Island."
"I can't make sense of it."

The Commander pondered over this.
Qin Feng took a sip of tea and said, "There is only one reason for such a thing, and that is 'profit'! Perhaps the Mountain and Sea Sect promised them some great benefit."
"But why would the Mountain and Sea Sect bother to counterattack Peach Blossom Island so arduously?" the Commander continued.
