The Bai Clan was in an Emergency State!
No threats came.
No probing attacks.
No assassins.
On the contrary, the pressure surrounding the Bai Clan eased rather than intensified.
Those sides who had once hesitated now hurried to show goodwill.
Those who had once watched from the sidelines now scrambled to declare their stance.
Envoys arrived daily.
Gifts piled up at the outer halls—spiritual treasures, rare ores, and pills.
Alliance proposals flooded in without restraint.
Minor clans!
Mid-tier clans!
Great Clans!
Even those that had once aligned themselves—quietly or openly—with the Li and Zhao Clans now sought to mend relations.
There were also those who came under the pretense of thanking the Bai Clan for their sacrifice during the Beast Tide.
But it was clear that they wanted to curry favor with the Bai Clan.
The Bai Clan rejected none outright.
Nor did they accept hastily.
Every request was recorded.
