The Artifact Origin Sect was the holy land of Artifact Refiners.
Even Dark Gold Level Influences had to curry favor with them.
Even Legendary Sects had to show them some deference.
As a result, the people of the Artifact Origin Sect were accustomed to being arrogant.
And they had every right to be.
Yin Shanhan wanted to assert his dominance over Shen Lang and the Profound Dao Sect. It was a way to recover from the embarrassment he'd suffered at the Profound Dao Sect earlier, and also a chance to test Shen Lang's limits.
After all, this was no ordinary partnership. This was a choice made under the "command" of their founding Elder Ancestor; it was a matter of pledging allegiance, of becoming subordinates.
The infuriating part was that the Artifact Origin Sect's Elder Ancestor had been maddeningly cryptic, failing to explain the full story. He'd given no cause, no desired outcome, which gave the people of the Artifact Origin Sect a massive headache.
