Southeastern Yingzhou, Izumo Shrine.
After the Green-faced Deity, worshipped at the shrine, was slain by Ling Chen, the power of Izumo Shrine rapidly declined, transforming from a dominant force to a secondary or tertiary one.
With the death of the Green-faced Ghost, the Great Yin-Yang Masters who relied on its magic lost their powers as well. Without these powerful masters, what capability does Izumo Shrine have to govern this region?
Furthermore, with the encroachment of the Liu Sheng Family and other families, the territory of Izumo Shrine shrank dramatically, and now it's practically defunct.
Ling Chen and Hong Ye directly arrived at the site of the ancient teleportation gate, which had remained in the hands of Izumo Shrine due to its hidden location, seemingly not yet seized by other families.
