Given the brutality of the sect and their strict rule of valuing loyalty and despising betrayers, it appeared that they deemed Yan Yuze a betrayer, therefore, the Sect Master Yan Long, enraged by it, decided to brutally punish his only son.
It also appeared that they all shifted the blame to him saying that he was the cause of the Sect's downfall all because he denied the loyalty pledge to the Royalty.
Xie Na also shared that many of the Sect's higher officials had the mixed Shadow Energy in them just like the case of the deceased Wang Hu and with it, they started to devour the spirit qi, life forces and vitalities of their sect members of lower cultivation realms and thus, had exponentially increased their cultivation by leaps and bounds.
It appeared that the Sect Master Yan Long was no exception and in fact, the one with the biggest haul in this barbarity.
