The Li Family's Wangyue Lake, tucked behind Lixia County and the Mushroom Forest Plain, suffered no losses despite the threat of the Xiao and Yuan Families; in fact, it even reaped quite a few benefits.
Firstly, Loose Cultivators, fearful of the Devil Cultivators, retreated to Wangyue Lake. Some sought refuge in Da Li Mountain to establish their own Taoist lineage, while others settled among the various families scattered around Wangyue Lake. There were also those who had been fleeing and drifting, weary of their plight, and willingly became Guest Elders of the Li Family.
Secondly, since Guanyun Market was destroyed and the Four Territories were in turmoil, many Loose Cultivators found their channels for raw materials cut off. Moreover, the rampant Devil Cultivators made it dangerous to travel, so they had no choice but to sell their goods cheaply to the major clans nearby.
