Chapter 494 (A Miraculous Spring Water)

"Sure! We're more than happy if the Empyrean Sect is willing to reconcile with us!" Poison King replied at once, over the moon. 

After all, there were countless sects other than Mayfield and the Empyrean Sect in the whole of the southwest. Subsequently, everyone fought over the limited resources for cultivation and expanding their turfs. That explained why Poison King had discreetly instructed Flavio to work his way to Dunwich. 

Since Mayfield and the Empyrean Sect had been battling against each other and sustaining losses for decades, other sects had benefitted from it. 

In other words, their members had steadily been gaining tremendous advancement in their combat prowess, whereas the martial prowess of Mayfield had been stagnant. 

Nowadays, most of the members from the other sects had become Martial Arts Grandmasters one by one.
