After the Imperial Sect and its Sect Master, Huang Ze, turned to support Ye Fan, Hua Wu became the real adversary among the six major sects.
Hua Wu now boasts the strongest influence among the six major sects, surpassing even the Diyuan Sect which has been suppressed by Ye Fan. If Ye Fan were to withdraw from the current alliance, Hua Wu and her Tianxuan Sect would likely become the dominant force among the seven major sects, consolidating the powers of all sects within the Pan Gu secret realm.
Ye Fan ignored Hua Wu's provocation and instead met with the leaders of several small sects, whose strongest members might not even reach the Divinity Transformation Stage, with some lacking even Golden Core Stage cultivators. Their purpose at the Death Sea is to fish in troubled waters or to gain Ye Fan's support to secure their footing in the Pan Gu secret realm.
