The Wanhuan Sect learned of the news and couldn't afford to continue delaying, so they directly contacted the Seven Emotions Path.
Among the Seven Sects and Eighteen Paths, the Wanhuan Sect is considered close to the Seven Emotions Path, despite having no formal alliance—it's prohibited to form such alliances, but there are quite a few friendly cultivators between them.
If you delve into the reasons, just look at the names of the two: "Seven Emotions" and "Wanhuan."
Many cultivators of the Seven Emotions Path have rather quirky personalities, but when paired with cultivators from Wanhuan—no worries, there's always one that suits you.
In fact, there are also plenty of sworn enemies between cultivators of the Seven Emotions Path and the Wanhuan Sect—when it's a true clash of personalities.
The relationships between cultivators of both sects are quite extreme, with some being extremely good and others terribly bad, but relatively speaking, their connection is indeed closer.
