However, later on, my sect, Divine Teachings, suffered repeated heavy losses at the hands of demonic sect experts, and the magicians' spies and assassins were also hunting down our disciples everywhere. Although those predecessors were extremely talented and capable, lacking the backing and support of family clans, a single misstep could lead to being killed by demonic sect experts. Even if they could escape with their lives through reincarnation, without protection and sustenance, they wouldn't be able to peacefully heal and restore their cultivation level; they could only flee everywhere, pursued and killed repeatedly by demonic sect experts until their souls were utterly destroyed.
Therefore, many of those seniors without the support of powerful family clans have quietly disappeared without a trace. And now, the majority of the lords in Divine Teachings have received the allegiance and support of powerful local families.
