News that the Zhengyang Sect had arrived in Lingzhou City spread quickly.
The Jianghu people in the city could smell gunpowder in the air.
Ostensibly, the Zhengyang Sect claimed that Vice Sect Leader Liu Chongde was leading a delegation to the Celestial Profound Sect for a friendly spar. But at a time like this, who couldn't see they were clearly taking the Celestial Profound Sect's side?
Unlike the stance of the Buddhist Dao's major sects, the Zhengyang Sect and the Celestial Profound Sect had stood firm in the last conflict between the Court and the Jianghu.
This time was no different.
The Zhengyang Sect was not to be compared to the current Celestial Profound Sect; their strength was so great that even the Court had to be wary of them.
The most crucial factor was their Sect Leader, a supreme expert who had broken through the Divinity Communication Barrier two hundred years ago. Furthermore, they had another Divinity Grandmaster. This strength was their greatest support.
