For a time, the entire Floating Island was filled with rumors and panic, and everyone felt uneasy.
Almost all the cultivators from small and medium-sized powers, along with the loose cultivators, chose to stay inside the Floating Island without hesitation.
They had all heard of the Ironblood Sect's methods. It was an incredibly overbearing and cruel force. With their strength, if they left the Floating Island and encountered people from the Ironblood Sect, they would most likely either die miserably or be reduced to slaves.
Since that was the case, they might as well remain on the Floating Island. At worst, they would stop cultivating and remain at the peak of Earthly Core Realm or the peak of Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm for the rest of their lives. That was still better than going out and seeking death.
It was not only the cultivators from small powers who made this choice. Even many cultivators from the Seven Great Powers chose to stay.
