The Dharma Aspect Sect was so proactive in this matter of demon extermination for two reasons. First, Riding Deer Arhat's lineage had a long tradition of vanquishing demons and upholding Wei Dao.
Second, the Tianhe Sword Sect had lost the Sea-Spanning Purple Gold Beam, so it was the perfect opportunity for the Dharma Aspect Sect to take the lead on this matter.
It seemed like a thankless task that would come at a great cost.
But if they succeeded, the Dharma Aspect Sect, as the leading Sect, would instantly gain a huge amount of prestige.
Prestige born from the hearts of the people was a strange thing. It wasn't always useful, but you often couldn't do without it.
The Dharma Aspect Sect wanted to surpass the No-Life Sect and become the true number one Sect in the Northern Domain, but it was difficult to determine a winner through ordinary means.
