The underground organizations were the true rulers of the archipelago and they were simply labeled as Hive by the legal organizations.
Yet, the Hive had many branches as well as a hierarchy.
The Chasing Demon sect was already one of the strongest branches of the Hive before the Chasing Demon had his breakthrough, it could be easily considered the strongest one now that it had a rank 6 entity leading it.
The other ones though weren't weak, especially when the human assets were compared.
The underground organizations had suffered heavier losses than the legal ones in the separate dimension but they could be still considered stronger than them, their heroic assets and the cultivators in the second rank had been unaffected by the trials after all.
Noah wasn't aware of the reasons that led the elders of his sect toward the creation of the battle plan but he knew that they had considered the other underground organizations in it.
On the third day, Noah led again his team to battle.
