Chapter 426: 355: Treachery and No Escape!
The State Mansion in Northern Yue State, where King Qingyang resided, wasn’t considered a large state. Although extensive in size, the environment was harsh due to its proximity to Hunxi Mountain. Furthermore, with a higher number of demons and occasional massacres by Demon Descendants who performed blood sacrifices to appease their ancestors, the state was perilous.
Thus, the population of Northern Yue State was not large.
However, the fact that people could survive in such a harsh environment indicated that the locals were exceptionally robust.
The state mansion of Northern Yue State was named “Qingyang Mansion”.
King Qingyang held great prestige in Northern Yue State, and the mansion city was named after his title.
Although King Qingyang had rebelled against the court in earlier years, his imperial powers were genuine. The title of emperor was still retained, and Qingyang Mansion did not change its name. Although Northern Yue State was barren, Qingyang Mansion was a bustling large city.
Especially recently, since Dragon Abyss had opened.
It attracted cultivators from all over, wearing various exotic outfits as they roamed the streets. Among them, two men of average appearance casually looked around the shops beside them. Walking side by side on the street, they were unremarkable and did not attract any extra attention.
Of these two men, the one on the left was broad-shouldered with thick arms and legs. His skin was coarse and waxen yellow, his facial expression dull and his eyes devoid of any sparkle, resembling a farmer who faced the loess and back to the sky.
