The wealth of the Red and Blue Fire sect had drawn the attention of many people. But those people had to rein in their appetite because the Red and Blue Fire sect was too strong.
Unfortunately for the them, their strength fell. When that happened, many people who wanted a piece of their wealth immediately attacked the Red and Blue Fire sect for it.
The attacks were always constant. For many years, the Red and Blue Fire sect was mired in battle. This caused their powerful and talented cultivators to slowly die out.
They dwindled in size until they couldn't manage to produce one rank 6 patriarch. This caused their status to fall to rank 5.
They had lost most of their wealth, had to share their cultivation technique, and had lost all of their powerful cultivators. But their troubles weren't over.
