Lu Chen pondered for a moment but still couldn't think of why the Thunder Serpent Sect would let some of its cities be occupied by the Quicksand Sect.
At this moment, Lu Zhengze continued: "Could it be that we are overthinking this? Perhaps the Thunder Serpent Sect just simply thinks these cities are useless and has given them up. Other affiliated sects haven't occupied these cities due to the Immortal Order."
"And the Quicksand Sect doesn't fear the Immortal Order, thinking these cities have already been abandoned and are no one's land. Even if they occupy them, the Mysterious Moon Palace wouldn't trouble them, so they boldly incorporate these cities into their territory."
Lu Chen said, "This possibility can't be ruled out. However, the Mysterious Moon Palace has specified that unauthorized expansion is prohibited, even if those cities have already been abandoned by the Thunder Serpent Sect, but they were once under Thunder Serpent Sect's control."
