章 715: The Great Cleanup

Zhang Ruochen asked, "Two hundred years ago, what happened anyway?"

Mu Lingxi answered. "At that time, the Sect Master made a decision to expand into the Eastern Region and scramble for its profits, competing against the Black Market, the Martial Market Bank, and the imperial court.

"However, every force there was deeply rooted in the Eastern Region. If the Demonic Sect wanted to do something, it needed its own foundation. They selected an aristocratic family, the Qis.

"Only by controlling the Qis could the demonic sect enter the Eastern Region with no difficulty. They could even penetrate the Yin and Yang Sect by taking advantage of the Qis.

"The plot was bloodless, but one person had to be sacrificed--Lin Suxian.

"The Sect Master gave the order, and Lin Suxian was secretly married to Qi Xiangtian, the eldest son of the Qis' leader.
