On the way, the woman roughly introduced the situation of the Giant Whale Sect.
In this sea area, there's talk of Three Sects, Five Factions, and Seventy-two Islands.
The Three Sects hold the strongest power, situated on three large islands.
One is called the Sea King Sect, possessing a powerful fleet of warships, which almost monopolizes sea trade in the Southern Ridge, dealing in salt, iron, silk, porcelain, and other trades, with business expanding beyond the region.
Another is called the Sea Spirit Sect, specializing in searching for uninhabited desolate islands at sea to scavenge various spiritual treasures.
The third is called the Pirate Sect, specializing in looting at sea, sometimes raiding coastal folks or hijacking passing merchant ships.
The Five Factions are Giant Whale Sect, Sea Shark Sect, Blood Jiao Sect, Kun Feather Sect, and Carefree Sect.
They maintain close relations with the Three Sects, behaving just as domineeringly in these sea regions.
