Shaolin's Master Fang Zheng has passed away in meditation; Wudang's One Sword Taoist has grown old; and Mount Hua's Elder Feng Qingyang has become insane—all three of the most formidable people in the Ancient Martial World have reasons they cannot take the role of the ruler of the Ancient Martial World. With their positions vacated, aside from these three, the most qualified would be the Sect Leaders of the various great sects. Speaking purely in terms of combat power cultivation, Songshan Sect's Bei Lengshi and the Five Poison Sect's Du Tianqi are the two most powerful and competitive individuals. Both the Five Poison Sect and the Songshan Sect want to become the ruler of the Ancient Martial World, holding the power to command and issue orders.
