It should be obvious enough that, in the dog-eat-dog world of Firmament Heaven's cultivation society, the emphasis on hierarchy and power was extremely strong. While there was a strong emphasis on personal power, that emphasis was actually reduced to individual situations and circumstances.
Obviously, and inevitably, when two people of different factions met, the focal point for measuring hierarchy became, first, the faction they came from, and then, after that, their personal power.
Such was the case here, where the three Six Paths Demon Sect fellows, including Li Ling, were all one realm or more lower than the three women opposite them, yet none wore a look of obeisance or respect.
It wouldn't even take more than 10% of Wen Caiyi's full power to reduce these three men to dust, but she was only able to stand by the side and glare with smouldering fury at the one she wished she could strangle to death, not daring to actually make a move.
