In these circumstances, Bi Ze became the second Sect Leader. It was likely during this time that he met Qi Zhou, who was traveling the World. Both harbored hatred towards the court at the time and had blood feuds, so they became friends.
When Qi Zhou was involved in the struggle for the throne, there was a shadow of the Curse Spirit Sect behind him. Bi Ze helped him out more than once but chose not to follow the Crown Prince of that time.
After the Emperor ascended the throne, considering that the Curse Spirit Sect had once contributed to him and for Qi Zhou's sake, he did not list the Curse Spirit Sect as a Cult and allowed it to establish itself openly.
For more than twenty years thereafter, there was no public interaction between Bi Ze and Qi Zhou, and the Curse Spirit Sect gradually grew into a Jianghu Influence dominating one province.
