Within the eastern territory of the Azure Flame Kingdom, belonging to Count Haldun, there existed a landmass considered barren and prone to being an experimental ground for forbidden techniques by demonic cultivators, given the Count's affiliation with an unorthodox faction.
The existence of the faction did not determine an individual's open retaliation against others.
It had now become a common scenario where individuals declared themselves as part of a faction without engaging in open struggle.
Instead, they engaged in continuous but smaller conflicts, similar to those seen in the aristocracy, where some declared themselves into thinking they were part of either the orthodox or unorthodox factions, participating in a small but steady hassle with each other.
There was an already established system where a title could be withdrawn from an aristocrat based on his defeat by another.
