Of course, it's possible that Mountain Heng is no longer acting in secret. With so many seals, so many guards, and so many disciples patrolling Cloud Dream Marsh, they might as well be openly colluding. Who knows, Mountain Heng might even have a branch of the Shijue Sacred Teachings by now.
Li Fan didn't quite understand, though. Mountain Heng should be in a strategic alliance with the Divine Teachings. Even if it was for the sake of mutual benefits, they couldn't just let them cause trouble at their doorstep, right? And what exactly was the purpose of the Divine Teachings' actions this time?
At least from what Li Fan saw, the three demonic gods that had broken free today were nowhere near comparable to those he had slain in the past; they had not matured at all. To put it bluntly, they seemed more like failures, unable to control the power of evil spirits and instead corrupting themselves into something akin to dread corpses.
