Chapter 1078: Unease

In Thousand Lakes Country, the Purple Flame Sect was the sole third-grade sect, dominating vastly, controlling most of the cultivation resources of Thousand Lakes Country. As Sect Master, Zu Tiangang was absolutely unwilling to see a powerful competitor arise.

Thus, the Purple Flame Sect had always been doing everything in its power to suppress sect forces including the Bitao Martial Academy, not only controlling most of the cultivation resources within Thousand Lakes Country but also forcing those sect forces to pay a hefty "protection fee" annually. The goal was to prevent these sects from having ample cultivation resources, to hinder the rapid growth of their disciples, and to avoid them posing a threat to the Purple Flame Sect.

It had proven that this method of suppression was very effective; for thousands of years within Thousand Lakes Country, no sect force had been able to shake the hegemony of the Purple Flame Sect.
