章節 178: Clear sword river sect (3)

They couldn't afford fresh tea leaves at the moment but at their prime, they even had a subordinate Rank 3 kingdom under them despite being rank 3 themselves. 

Within their territory, they could sneeze and it could cause a ripple effect the size of a tsunami to all organizations that were within their territory. 

Despite their massive power, they had a relatively good reputation within their sect in comparison to others. Yes, they monopolized some of the resources, but they left enough to even promote a rank 4 kingdom into a rank 3 kingdom, while rank 4 organizations were a dime a dozen within their territory.

However, all the goodwill and reputation they had built was destroyed about 200 years ago till they slowly deteriorated into what they were today.

The sect master back then was perfect in all regards. He was a talented swordsman, charismatic and shrewd in managing the sect and its territories.
