Unfortunately, Daoist Bone Ruler had no idea just how close the Heavenly Stream Guardian Sect had come to an even greater catastrophe.
If Mengli Zhenyu had chosen to reveal everything he had learned about the Hopeful Star Pavilion and the Lightless Hall, the resulting conflict might have made a civil war seem like a minor disagreement.
The secrets surrounding those two organizations were far more dangerous than most people could imagine.
The Lightless Hall had operated for an extended period, carrying out covert assignments on behalf of certain authorities within the sect. Many of those assignments involved assassinations, sabotage, espionage, and the suppression of individuals or organizations considered troublesome.
Some of the targets had been enemies of the Heavenly Stream Guardian Sect, while others had simply stood in the way of the ambitions of those controlling the Hall. The consequences of revealing those activities would extend far beyond the sect itself.
