Vidyadhara faction that is actually betraying the Xianzhou looks like they've picked joining the Abundance side
I know you already said they're not very smart, but like... If I'm getting the lore correct, Abundance gives effectively infinite longevity and youth, not actual immortality, right? Like, all the "blessed by Abundance" long-lived species are killable. The Vidyadhara already have effective immortality, aka their reincarnation cycle. They don't need the blessing from Abundance. They need reproduction, or the nearest equivalent; permanence, perservation, propagation all seem to be more useful for preventing death/increasing numbers than abundance. Permanence is gone, Propagation is bugs, so the only real option is Preservation, which...I would definitely be more convinced if the IPC is somehow involved with Vidyadhara sedition.
...Actually, this just makes me want to read a fic where the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae was actually Dan Feng making a deal with IPC and causing a huge political mess rather than the canon pseudo-dragon thingy.
