The Azuresteel Sect had always been trying to ease its feud with Feng Jun. In fact, after reviewing a series of events, they discovered that the conflict between the Azuresteel Sect and Feng Jun had only begun because they had hired Adept Ma to abduct someone—and Adept Ma's attack back then had not even been a killing blow.
So how had someone who posed little threat ended up so thoroughly at odds with the Azuresteel Sect?
After careful analysis, everyone realized that Feng Jun's relationship with the Supreme Clarity Sect and the Red Phoenix Sect was not entirely harmonious either; there had been conflicts as well. The difference was that those sects could resolve their conflicts, while the Azuresteel Sect had made no effort in that regard.
When the Supreme Clarity Sect and the Red Phoenix Sect failed to capture the man, that administrator had actually tried to find someone to approach the Azuresteel Sect—he wanted to seek protection.
The administrator's thinking had not been wrong. The Azuresteel Sect had always opposed the Supreme Clarity Sect, and everyone in the cultivation world knew of the grudges between the two sects.
But unfortunately, he did not know what Feng Jun meant to the Azuresteel Sect.
Even more unfortunately, he had threatened the "mastermind behind the scenes."
That had originally been perfectly normal. Rogue cultivators had few other abilities, and often all they could do was risk their lives—you might be one of the Four Great Sects and think yourself impressive, but if I went all out, I could still kill a few of your people.
Such threats could sometimes be very effective. After all, every cultivator had family and attachments; no one could be completely free of concerns. But at other times, they became a death warrant—You want to get me?
