The agreement between the Emperor and the National Preceptor was more like a setup.
The Lotus Sect rebelled, and the Emperor promised to open the "Great Zhou Treasure Vault" to seek aid from the Five Elements Forces.
The Emperor regretted it and fell out with the Five Elements Forces.
The Emperor heavily relied on puppets represented by the National Preceptor to resist the Five Elements Forces.
The National Preceptor took the lead; the Emperor formed an alliance with the Lotus Sect, then killed all direct royal bloodlines and fled Jade Capital for more than twenty years.
The Emperor embraced the ideals of the Lotus Sect and actively engaged in them.
But in reality, the National Preceptor was merely a puppet of the "Lianyi House," and behind the Lotus Sect at least lingered the shadow of the "Miracle Beast Garden."
The "Lianyi House" and "Miracle Beast Garden" were already plotting to break the constraints of Ghost Street and fuse together.
