Since the resources were scarce in Fox Cave, the discontentment from various sects became clearer, and their displeasure as well as all sorts of other emotions became stronger as they accumulated!
Many of the sects formed their own cliques in secret.
They no longer believed in the three sects who led them. In fact, they believed that the three sects had used the chance to intentionally be heavy-handed and limit their chances to obtain resources.
However, due to Happy's existence, the resources in the second level of Fox Cave, and the mystery around the third level of Fox Cave, which no one had ever entered before, the animosity between the sects was maintained at a delicate level. No one wanted to be the first to break the balance of the alliance between the sects.
