Sword Flash explained his reason for saying that there would be war by saying, "If there is a new rank 4 secret realm, it means that there will be a slot for a new sect."
"This is the best-case scenario, as most of the fighting will be limited to the cultivation families in our region. At most, the sects will support a cultivation family and assist them from the side."
"It is also possible that cultivation families from other regions will come here to vie for the new rank 4 secret realm. But if the five rank 4 secret realms upgrade to rank 5, you can be sure that sects from our neighboring regions and large cultivation families from upstream will come down to fight us for the sects."
"In both cases, we should be safe because we have the strength required to own a rank 5 secret realm. Even if we don't have the strength and are eventually eliminated, the other four sects will be eliminated before us, so the Five Vein region will change completely."
