The Sect of Mechanics is very pragmatic.
When there's nothing to gain, they don't want to intervene; but when there's a benefit, they act greedily, rushing forward to get a share.
And for the Sect of Mechanics, the biggest benefit is naturally technology.
Especially technology from other sects.
The relationships between different factions within the Sect of Mechanics aren't necessarily close.
Sometimes, heretics can be more detestable than infidels.
However, heretical technology is still very tempting.
But at this stage, the Mingyang Sect mostly just talks.
When it comes to actual combat, they're still a bit hesitant and are only willing to deploy a small portion of their forces.
