As for the Pai Sect, their situation is rather awkward.
They are also a powerful force spread across various southern states, and because of some Tusi heads involved in rebellion, the court is somewhat displeased.
The Salt Gang has already pledged allegiance to the Shu Prince Mansion. If they have any designs, the Pai Sect's involvement would surely be a mess beyond explanation.
On the other hand, faced with the Cao Gang's massive invasion, they are unwilling to easily surrender their territory.
The Cao Gang, meanwhile, does not want to push things too far. They want to leave room for maneuver, persuading Pai head Huo Jiao to side with them...
Various parties scheming have led to the current situation.
This duel against the Zhou Family is to weigh each other's skills.
If the Sichuan Pai Sect wins, even if they choose to pledge allegiance in the future, they can secure more influence...
Knowing the reason, Li Yan couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
