The biennial medical competition for the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance was tantamount to humiliation. In the last three contests held over the past six years, the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance had ended in defeat, resulting in the massive flow of cultivation resources into the hands of the Heavenly Alliance. Each time the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance lost in the medical competition, some of its members would secretly defect to the Heavenly Alliance.
After three consecutive defeats over six years, the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance truly could not afford to lose again. If the situation continued to develop this way, it likely wouldn't be long before the day the Obliterate Heavenly Alliance was annexed by the Heavenly Alliance.
