The Li Huo Alliance's territory was already vast, but its options for expansion were quite limited. Most of its borders were shared with its ally, the Lianshui Alliance. Another portion bordered the Loose Cultivator Land, and a third bordered the Pill Alliance. Only less than a fifth of its territory touched upon the loosely affiliated lands of the Far East Alliance.
As an ally whose strength was no less than its own, the Li Huo Alliance naturally didn't dare to have any designs on the Lianshui Alliance. The Loose Cultivator Land, while appearing to be just a gathering place for Loose Cultivators, was actually governed by several Golden Core Clans, much like the Swen Family of old. It was a tough nut to crack.
The Pill Alliance was another matter entirely. Leaving aside its Golden Core Cultivators, the mere presence of a Nascent Soul Cultivator was enough to make the Li Huo Alliance think twice before making any move.
