The cultivators have two of the three favorable conditions: timing, geography, and unity!
Not to mention anything else, just this point alone gives the Li family, or rather, the cultivator side, a tremendous advantage, even significantly influencing the outcome of the beast tide!
...
Since the Li family started preparing for the beast tide, more than a year has passed, yet the Sea Clan has shown no signs of movement, as if the news of the beast tide was false, with no rumors circulating at all.
And the information discreetly passed on by the Li family was discarded by various factions, with some even mocking the Li family for being cowardly, believing the news they had heard from somewhere.
In response, the Li family was indifferent, as it was just a casual move. If others believed them, they would owe the Li family a favor; if not, it wouldn't affect the Li family.
