Chapter 287: The 6 Great Overlords of the Eastern Domain
Each of the six people on the high platform represented one of the most powerful forces in the Eastern Domain. These Six Great Forces controlled the entire Eastern Domain; you could say they were its rulers.
Celestial Eagle Valley, Flawless Palace, Death Row Shelter, Spiritual Light Pavilion, Wuji Sect, and Taiqing Academy. These six forces had all existed for over ten thousand years, and their foundations were terrifyingly deep.
The experts within each of these great forces were powerful enough to suppress any other sect or nation in the Eastern Domain.
The Six Great Forces had existed in the Eastern Domain for over ten thousand years, and for all that time, a delicate balance had been maintained among them. None could overpower the others, so they coexisted peacefully.
However, over the last century, this delicate balance had gradually been broken. The reason was simple: there were only five Demon Fiends among the Six Great Forces. This meant that one of the forces had no Demon Fiend among its younger generation of disciples.
While a single Demon Fiend might not seem capable of influencing the grand scheme of things, the hidden implications were extremely dangerous.
Think about it: a Demon Fiend represented the strongest of a force’s younger generation. And because none of the Six Great Forces could overpower the others, elders rarely intervened in the conflicts of the young.
If an elder were to step in, it would be seen as a senior bullying a junior, which at worst could trigger an all-out war between two of the great forces.
Since the elders couldn’t act, the juniors had to resolve matters themselves. But without a Demon Fiend, it was nearly impossible to compete with your peers. You could only suffer in silence.
Coincidentally, the one force among the Six Great Forces without a Demon Fiend was none other than Flawless Palace—the origin of the Flawless Flesh Body.
