The Golden Folk are eradicating heretics on the Luku Plains.
In plain terms, they are fighting against the endless numbers of Necromancers and undead creatures.

Eric was well aware that no matter how much the other party spun their words, one thing they said was certainly true.

The Brotherhood's choice to save Yingyi was in pursuit of future opportunities.
But if the Shadow Temple took over Cui Yeting's research and continued it in secret, then matters would differ.
