Hearing Wu Peng's words, Lu Chen instantly understood why the people of the Dragon-Riding Sect had stayed behind.
The Dragon-Riding Sect had brought the entire Imperial Mountain Domain Star Region to the Chaotic Star Sea, only for the Daxia Dynasty to vanquish them in one fell swoop. The days ahead for the Dragon-Riding Sect in the Imperial Mountain Domain Star Region would undoubtedly be tough.
More importantly, the Dragon-Riding Sect had offended the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor. Although the Imperial Mountain Quasi-Emperor was now Lu Chen's servant, the Quasi-Emperor would surely find ways to cause trouble for the Dragon-Riding Sect.
Thus, the Dragon-Riding Sect stayed back to cling to powerful coattails and demonstrate their loyalty. As long as they could gain the trust of the Sum Emperor, even if the other forces in the Imperial Mountain Domain Star Region disapproved of the Dragon-Riding Sect, their status in the region would not fall too sharply.
