Great Zhou could tolerate its princes borrowing the power of the Martial Arts World to achieve their goals, just as Ji Haodian had done with the Esoteric Sect.
The two sides could cooperate. The sects could even become part of Great Zhou, as the Esoteric Sect had. But the one thing Great Zhou could never tolerate was its princes becoming puppets of those martial arts forces, going so far as to sell out the interests of the entire empire.

However, the Ji Imperial Clan had always devoted itself to cultivation and held little power. Ji Haodian's descendants had also been well-behaved, so the Imperial Clan Court had never had much use.
That was no longer a concern. The fate awaiting these princes in the Imperial Clan Court was easy to imagine: they would wish for death and be unable to find it.
Ignoring the princes' anguished howls, Ji Xuanyuan and the others turned their attention to Sun Buhai and the rest of the Leftist Alliance.
