The Eternal Trial had seen Sect Master Li Mojun dispatch the Holy Daughter Jiang Xuansu and Gong Jian to hunt down the Heng Province Alliance's martial artists. In the end, more than half of the three thousand Heng Province Alliance martial artists who entered the Eternal Trial had been killed or wounded, with only one or two hundred making it back alive to the province alliance. Of all the Dao God realm experts whose cultivation realms had been suppressed, nearly every one had fallen except Wu Xianjun and Murong Chuan.
That battle in the Eternal Trial had undoubtedly been a fatal blow to the Heng Province Alliance.
After leaving the Eternal Trial, Murong Chuan had not returned to the Eternal Devil Sect right away. Instead, he had gone straight back to Heng Province. At the elders' meeting held by the Eight Great Noble Families, Murong Chuan had knelt on the ground to plead guilty and asked the Eight Great Families Alliance to punish him. As for what punishment Murong Chuan had ultimately received, no one knew.
However, Murong Chuan had not returned to the Eternal Devil Sect either. He had remained within the Heng Province families all this time.
The Eternal Devil Sect had already prepared to fight the Eight Great Noble Families of Heng Province to the death. Yet in the end, they never saw the allied army of the Eight Great Noble Families arrive.
The spies the sect had planted within the Eight Great Noble Families of Heng Province had once reported to the sect that the Eight Great Noble Families were furious and were summoning their scattered forces back to their families, seemingly preparing for a great battle.
At the time, Sect Master Li Mojun had believed that Heng Province would certainly attack the Eternal Devil Sect.
