An empire was very different from a sect. A sect could have many family clans propping it up together. But an empire was usually helmed by the royal family.
Warriors had extremely long lifespans. Any warrior that had a lifespan of a million years could populate a massive family clan if he wished to. Therefore, the number of people in the Outcloud Empire's royal family was staggering.
Of course, having such a large family meant cruel competition.
Any person that was conferred a title of nobility in the Outcloud Empire was not to be undermined, much less one that was conferred the title of King!
Even Cloud Pool City was a part of King Yi's fief. As such, he was definitely an important figure of the Heavenly South Peaks Meet.
"That is King Yi," someone exclaimed. People saw a middle-aged man step off the turtle, and behind him followed two troops of awe-inspiring golden-armored soldiers. They held halberds and looked very mighty.
