The politics of the Upper Three Heavens were complicated. While the Chu clan had taken control over part of the land, there were still open fights for power.
The current strength of the Chu clan was basically in the hands of the clan master. The members of the upper echelon of the Clan were also its predecessors. When they were free from household issues, they engaged in closed-door practices.
The Bao clan and the Liao clan were two large families also living near Flat Mountain Ridge. While their skills were not as developed as the Chu clan's, they weren't that different. The two families had an exceptional amount of power. Small conflicts between them arose daily.
The Flat Mountain Ridge, as well as the entire Southeast region, belonged to the Xiao clan. One of the nine dominant families, they had plenty of talents, extraordinarily gifted people and factions. The environment was cruel and rewarded only the fittest with survival.
