With the Demon Spirit Sect's annihilation by the Celestial Cloud Sect, the Demons here were no longer the final enemy. The ultimate adversaries were now the Spirit Refiners.
"Quick, look! The Spirit Refiners are here."

Situations like this were happening in many places.
In any territory still defended by Demons, they would be dealt with first. Once the Demons were gone, the conflict would become a free-for-all between the remaining two sides to see who could seize control.
If not for Fang Yun's intervention, this situation would have continued for a very long time.
His intervention greatly accelerated the pace.
...
Black Ghost Cave.
Deep within its heart.
All the Cave Masters of the Black Ghost Cave were gathered here.
