Baiting

With everyone spread out like this, most of the different sects didn't have to engage with each other until they were inside of the Dragon Beard Valley.

That was a good thing since it wasn't as if these sects got along with each other in the first place.

There were many different sects and they all had territory.

It was inevitable that there would be some friction between different sects.

After all, when benefits came between people, it was only natural that there would be friction between them. They would want the benefits for themselves and not share it with others, which is why there were sects that were close that didn't get along.

Some were placed near each other and some were placed far away from each other, so it didn't matter that much.

They did what they could to annoy each other before the Demon Slaying Conference started.
