Recruitment

In the Nine Provinces Cultivation World, every sect had its own territory.

Depending on the rank of the Main Sect, the extent of territory it could occupy varied.

At its height, the Crimson Blood Sect had been a First Rank Sect, which was why it had been able to occupy the vast territory of Ao Mountain. Though it had gradually declined over recent decades and its rank had fallen, ownership of that territory had never changed.

It was not as though no one had set their sights on Ao Mountain. New sects frequently emerged throughout the Nine Provinces, and all of them needed to choose a territory as the foundation of their sect. Famous mountains and great rivers such as Ao Mountain had undoubtedly drawn the attention of many.

But Tang Yifeng was, after all, a mighty Divine Sea Realm cultivator. How could those newly established sects dare behave presumptuously before him? Moreover, the Crimson Blood Sect was on exceptionally close terms with the Righteous Qi Sect, which led Soldier Province. Thus, even during the Crimson Blood Sect's bleakest days, no newly established sect had dared move into the vast Ao Mountain.

Now that the Crimson Blood Sect clearly showed signs of rising again, such a thing was even more impossible.

Within a sect's territory, under normal circumstances, cultivators outside the sect could not set foot there freely without permission. Otherwise, it would be a provocation against that sect's dignity. Such matters could be either grave or trivial, but mishandle them, and they could lead to extremely dire consequences.

Every sect would have cultivators patrol its territory, guarding against miscreants causing trouble.

But how could the Crimson Blood Sect have possessed such capability? Not to mention before Lu Ye had joined the sect, when it had contained only Tang Yifeng
