Of course, the Liyang Dynasty could also choose to deny the disciples of these sects the opportunity to participate in the examination.
But if they really did that, wouldn't the so-called Martial Arts Examination become an even bigger joke?
It was a deadlock. The root cause was that the current Imperial Court had too few high-level Martial Artists, making it difficult to curb the expansion of the Demon Sect and the Buddhist Sect.
This inability to curb their expansion would, in turn, lead to a further decline in the Imperial Court's influence and authority.
This loss of influence would then trigger a chain reaction.
And now, the Imperial Court's Martial Arts Examination being treated as a battleground for the Buddhist and Demon Sects was one of the worst consequences of all.
If this trend continued, the Liyang Dynasty would soon be uprooted by the combined pressure of the Demon and Buddhist Sects.
