Among the top sects in the Taoist community, Sect Leader Xuan Chen of the Zhenwu Sect has a certain relationship with the Shadow King—it's not accurate to say they are at each other's throats, but they certainly can't pee in the same pot.
The Luo Fu Palace was severely crippled by the Shadow King, and they're sworn enemies, determined to fight to the death.
Dragon Tiger Mountain had a previous grudge with the Shadow King because of Gong Ziyu. Moreover, since Dragon Tiger Mountain has good relations with the Royalists, they naturally have an unspoken enmity with the Shadow King. The friend of an enemy is also an enemy.
As for the Supreme Taoist Sect, they are the eternal neutral party, holding no grudges against the Shadow King and definitely not lending him any help.
Not a single one among the Four Great Taoist Sects has a good relationship with the Shadow King. In such a situation, how could the Shadow King not have countermeasures?
