Chapter 344 - 112: Torment
Xu Ling deeply gazed in the direction Lin Yuan had left, and after a while, he and several others completely disappeared into the dense forest.
Two days later.
Xu Ling and the others returned to Baiyan City, dust-laden from their travels.
When they arrived at Baiyan City, it was clear that the city now carried an indescribable silence compared to the prosperity of Changle Village.
Too many low-level martial artists died in Changle Village at the hands of the demon sect. Even though these low-level disciples were weak in terms of acupoint realm, in Baiyan City, they held quite a status even in the condensing yuan realm.
In some respects, these individuals were the backbone of Baiyan City’s stable population structure.
But now, with thousands of martial artists dying like this, it has dealt a destructive blow to the entire ecology of Baiyan City.
Without these martial artists maintaining the ruling order, the previously hidden rebellious forces, led by the Qu Xiang Sect, are now active everywhere in Baiyan City. Many wealthy and powerful people have been robbed to varying degrees. Some entire families have even been wiped out.
In this situation, Baiyan City and the three martial academies are powerless, after all, without people, it is difficult to restore the former order.
For a time, Baiyan City became even more chaotic.
Fortunately, the upper layers remained stable, and the middle class needed time to slowly recover, allowing people to gradually fill in.
