Revenge was merely one reason.
As Liu Yu's cultivation and strength increased, the forces under his control ought to grow in step.
Otherwise, they would provide little help, becoming like chicken ribs-too meager to savor, yet a pity to discard.
Precisely for that reason, even without "revenge" as a justification, he could find another.
To wage war against the Hehuan Sect, Snowfall Pavilion, the Void Clarity School, and other sects!
