บท 586: Chapter 534: Threat from Taoist Academy, The Emperor's Concern

After twenty years of development, the Taoist Academy has grown into a colossal entity, with countless powerful figures emerging from its ranks. Some of these individuals roam the world on their own, some establish their own forces, and others join other factions.

Although Pei Xuanjing did not control their comings and goings, they were connected through a commonly recognized identity; they all identified themselves as disciples of Pei Xuanjing. Even in the absence of any actual teacher-student relationship, this did not mean that they didn't acknowledge the kindness of Pei Xuanjing. This connection resulted in the formation of a vast network throughout the entire world.

For the current Great Ming Divine Dynasty, the threat from the Taoist Academy superseded that of many alliances and forces. Despite having fewer powerful individuals, their sheer number was eliciting concern in many within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
