The Royal City seemed destined to be anything but peaceful tonight.
At the very moment the trading fair was drawing to a close, things were also happening elsewhere.
Western City District.
At the far western edge of the Western City District stood one of East Heavenly King City's treasured great families.
Among the Royal City's many factions, none would ordinarily provoke this family. Deliberately or otherwise, they all helped preserve the existence of this Taixu power.
—The Yao Clan! A Taixu power, or a Taixu family, was not simply a faction with one Taixu expert in its clan or sect.
Beyond that one Taixu expert,
the number of Path-Slayers and Thrones also had to reach a considerable standard. Only after official recognition, registration, and public announcement by the Holy Spirit Hall could they be acknowledged by the world.
The Great String Celestial Sect, the Returning Sound Pavilion, and the like...
Even if such sects possessed Taixu experts, they could only be called "hegemonic powers of East Heavenly King City."
Because, when all was said and done, those Taixu experts were merely guest elders.
Put simply,
these factions could only reign supreme within East Heavenly King City.
Once they left East Heavenly King City, they had virtually no connections. The prefectural cities and royal cities of other regions and realms neither knew of nor recognized them.
True Taixu powers were different.
Wherever they were, that place had a guardian. Ordinarily, no outside force would dare provoke them.
The Yao Clan of East Heavenly King City was precisely such an existence.
There was no other reason.
Old Master Yao Ye of the Yao Clan was the current wielder of the twenty-first famous sword, the Path Sword—Great Unity Gives Birth to Water Sword! The Yao Clan was also unlike Su Qianqian's Su Family
