"A union of sects, a fusion of the Righteous and Demon Paths! This is absurd!" declared Ding Chaomu, his expression grim.
He never imagined the Supreme Sword Sect would issue such an order. More significantly, the Western Region now recognized the Grand Heaven Sect as supreme. This meant his Hengtian Sect would be subject to the Grand Heaven Sect's rule. How could he possibly accept that?

If the power struggles among Demon Path Sects were brutally barbaric, then the conflicts between Righteous Sects were rife with insidious plots and schemes—the kind where one could be devoured without a trace, all under a veneer of civility.
