Li Fan frowned, unable to believe that a mere choice of heading south or north could be so complex, and had actually led to the solid division into two factions.
Moreover, both factions were reasonable, and both had their own desires.
The North Faction, many of whom were outer court disciples and scions, coveted Mo Zhu Mountain's reputation and sought to preserve their ancestral properties in Li Country. The South Faction consisted of inner court ascetics, who were poor and desired to fight for the faction's geniuses and treasures, to snatch the spirit materials of South Mountain, and to seize the fortunes of the beast spirits.
Those who started on the path of cultivation all wanted to continue, and the further the better. Wanting to make their journey easier couldn't be said to be right or wrong.
