"As I said, the Sword Sect's enemies have mostly died off over the past ten thousand years. The Hidden Vein has spent all these years infiltrating various Sects, and we have plenty to show for it…"
Po Jun Star Monarch looked up, his expression under the mask unreadable. No one could have imagined that the Celestial Star Sect's revered Nascent Soul Elder was also a successor to the Taibai Sword Sect's Hidden Vein.
"Furthermore, I can tell you all the truth: the core of the Star Palace Secret Realm is the legendary Sword-Cleansing Grotto Heaven. The Supreme Sword Dao lies just ahead. Are any of you willing to just walk away?"
The other Star Lords exchanged glances, each recognizing the veiled threat in Po Jun Star Monarch's words.
Everyone who joined the Star Palace did so out of a fervent devotion to the Sword Dao, drawn by the reputation of the Taibai Sword Sect.
All other gains were just a bonus.
