Though the Flying Dragon Group is very powerful, its influence is mostly confined to the commercial realm. In the underground world, it's the Heaven and Earth Society, an old syndicate, that truly has the intimidation and persuasive power. In this situation, Lin Mu naturally had to consult Huo Yanggen, hoping to get him to issue an order for an underground alliance in the name of the Heaven and Earth Society.
While the Flying Dragon Sect is substantial, it's primarily a business-oriented organization with limited experience in the underworld, and few truly acknowledge it. On the other hand, Huo Yanggen is different, as he heads the century-old Heaven and Earth Society.
The nature of the Heaven and Earth Society is actually the same as those of the smaller gangs; it's just that the Heaven and Earth Society has grown larger in scale. As the leader of these minor gangs, the Heaven and Earth Society naturally has the right to speak.
