"Are there any clans or sects that don't oppress loose cultivators?"
"There naturally are," Mo Shan explained. "Some clans adhere to strict clan rules, and some sects enforce stringent sect rules, and would not behave improperly.

Mo Shan sighed again, then continued,
"Here in Tongxian City things are still better. In some places, the lives of loose cultivators are truly fraught with extreme difficulties. Not to mention some of the higher-rank state boundaries, where noble clans and sects have been entrenched for ten thousand years, dominant like behemoths. The loose cultivators oppressed by them truly have no chance of turning their fate around..."
