For the past ten thousand years, the Shen Family of the Pure Yang Sect had firmly held control over everything in the Pure Yang Sect. The positions of Holy Son and Sect Master were always filled from among the Shen Family first.
The Pure Yang Sect's important institutions, both inside and outside the sect—such as the Scripture Repository, Treasure Refining Hall, and treasury—were all controlled by the Shen Family.
On the surface, the Shen, Wu, Liu, and Ma Lineages of the Pure Yang Sect stood shoulder to shoulder as the Four Great Clans. In reality, however, the only ones truly holding the reins of power were the Shen Family.
Although the other three families had ambitions to seize power, they had never found a suitable opportunity.
Now, the Ma Family believed this was their chance. After discussing it with the elders and ancestors, they decided to take the risk, cooperate with Lin Bai, and contend for the position of Holy Son.
The position of Holy Son was extraordinarily important to any sect or family.
From there, one could rise to become the sect's Sect Master, or descend to lead the disciples under the sect. Its importance could not be overstated.
Contending for the position of Holy Son was merely the Ma Family's first step in seizing power.
