In the grand scheme of Xuanhuang, the Murong family was considered as vital a force to compete for as the Dragon Gate. Possessing the power of the Murong family could greatly benefit the progress of the Xuanhuang plan. Conversely, opposition from the Murong family would lead to significant obstacles. The reason the Murong family were singled out and valued by the supporters of the imperial successor could be attributed to the family's historical background, wealth, and dual strength in martial arts.
Precisely because of this, the Murong family held unparalleled pride, refusing to submit to any force. They acted on their own initiative rather than being compelled. Even Wen Dingmo, who orchestrated the Xuanhuang plan, could not extend his influence over the Murong family as easily as he did with other clans. For this reason, he had to take certain actions to guide the Murong family towards the faction supporting the imperial successor and become part of their strength.
