In the land and waters of Hongze, it was very rare for a sect to have a He Dao Bao Di to protect its domain.
Otherwise, its name as an Immortal Sect would not be so revered by countless cultivators.
The majority of forces were exposed, only able to conceal themselves with various formations.
Once they faced a real powerful enemy, they were like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Therefore, they usually sought to venerate an Overlord Sect, becoming its vassal, and used the name of the Overlord Sect to deter demons and evil beings.
The sect that Red Maple Valley venerated was the only Immortal Sect in the vicinity: Yunhe Sect.
While Yunhe Sect was not on par with those top-tier forces in Western Hong, it had existed for numerous tens of thousands of years. The founding elder still presided over the sect, his cultivation and realm profound and inscrutable—not something that newly ascended giants of the Union Dao could compare to.
