Some things are too embarrassing for the Magic Sect to actively publicize—like the failed operation plan in Red Port. But the Xiao Alliance doesn't care; on the contrary, they're dying to trumpet it everywhere.
From the Xiao Alliance's point of view, the incident goes like this——
Magic Sect disciples fought internally over power and profit, and punished a Sorcerer named Zhao Ci, permanently sealing his cultivation. Zhao Ci refused to accept this and secretly contacted the Xiao Alliance, asking them to undo the seal in exchange for defecting.
Because the Supreme Council possesses the Bone-Penetrating Treasure Mirror, which can undo any seal cast by any master in the world. The so‑called Bone-Penetrating Treasure Mirror is the Magic Mirror in Great Elder Mei Lin's hand; it was originally the Observing Body Sect's sect's sacred artifact.
