Chapter 1269: Breaking Into the Imperial Palace
Compared to the current situation in the Southern Domain, the Demon Market situated along the river seemed much more peaceful.
It remained in its own corner, ignoring the outside world and staying out of everything.
The former King of Wei managed everything here now. Under his series of reforms, the Demon Market had gradually grown prosperous, flourishing in its tranquil corner. Sometimes, Zhao Lin found himself in a daze, feeling as if he were still the King of Wei and had merely changed his subordinates. Oh, wait—he had swapped them for demons.
However, it wasn't completely without its problems. The shifting tides of the world would eventually impact the Demon Market's peace.
"Lately, many people have been confusing our Demon Market with Hongyuan Tianxia. It's caused quite a bit of chaos below, and some demons are complaining incessantly, calling it an undeserved calamity."
Hearing this gave Zhao Lin a headache. It was a situation that couldn't be explained away no matter how hard they tried.
The relationship between the Human Dao and demons had deteriorated rapidly because of Hongyuan Tianxia. Now, demons had become something to be beaten and killed on sight; there was basically no room left for explanation.
This had naturally affected the Demon Market's long-standing peace. Ignoring it wasn't a sustainable solution.
In Zhao Lin's mind, the best method was to completely separate the Demon Market from the mortal world. That was the only way to resolve the majority of these conflicts.
