He resolved the issues in the Sand Kingdom, and moreover, established contact with characters like "Lord Green Light" and Yue Zhi.
In the following period, the Quicksand Sect kept its promise and provided freedom and equality to the vast lower races after taking over nine cities in the west. Politically, they did quite well; Lord Green Light knew many talents, and administering about six hundred thousand square kilometers of territory was no problem at all.

Lord Green Light actually represented a dilemma for the Grand Alliance's order of rule. He possessed great power, controlled many outlaws, and also owned numerous legitimate industries with substantial capital, making it difficult to eradicate him.
The events in the Sand Kingdom indicated their compromise with the culture of the Grand Alliance.
