Lin Mu raised his brow upon hearing the name of the Long Cloud Alliance from the elder's mouth. He knew the Long cloud alliance was the second alliance that was formed when Gu Yao created the Zither wind alliance.
The Long Cloud Alliance was a product of circumstance and the sects within it only reunited only because of the threat of the Zither Wind Alliance. Plus, it allowed them to compete against the top three sects due to this.
The alliances had powers that were comparable to each of the top sects alone. While this meant that the top three sects could join up to easily eliminate them all, they knew that it was impossible to happen.
The top three sects had long legacies and they certainly would not join up together as it would mean sullying the honor of their ancestors. But while they might not join up together, they could pull in other smaller powers.
