Lujiao Mountain's power was immense, but it was still under the jurisdiction of Lion's Mane Cave.
Annexing Black Crow Mountain had already crossed a line with Lion's Mane Cave.
If they had dealt with Langlang Mountain in one fell swoop, it might have been overlooked.
What was done was done, and they could have slowly figured out a way to deal with Lion's Mane Cave.
But now that Langlang Mountain had successfully broken out, the situation had become serious.
Lujiao Mountain had its own troubles. Their failure to launch a major invasion was because they needed to handle matters behind the scenes.

However, the countless troubles on Langlang Mountain were matters for the king and the elders of Elder Peak to worry about.
Xu Chang'an didn't need to concern himself with such messy affairs.
