While they were flying on Eryke's sword will, the entire Martial World erupted into chaos upon seeing a bounty of ten thousand gold coins for the demon hunt of Eryke.
A Demon Hunt could only be declared by the top three sects of the Orthodox Faction, and only when they truly wished to see someone dead, offering immense treasures as the reward.
If any lesser sect dared to attempt such a decree, they would be immediately crushed by the combined might of the top three sects.
It was essentially their way of displaying authority. They weren't forcing other Martial Artists to take action; instead, they were simply tossing a bone to a hound, knowing it would eagerly bite.
The reward itself was beyond imagination, so great that even the other two top sects felt the temptation. It amounted to nearly eighty percent of their entire fortune, and securing it would mean almost doubling their wealth in an instant.
