Chapter 887: Raising Dao Soldiers
Back in the days when the Jiuqu League still existed, the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan had already occupied the Yuantu Great Prairie.
Despite the Jiuqu League's relentless efforts to suppress the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan and engaging in fierce wars with them several times, many cultivation forces still engaged in secret dealings with the Barbarian Clan.
As time went on, smuggling and trading with the extraterritorial Barbarian Clan became a major industry within the Jiuqu League.
Except for a few sects like the Jade Sword Sect that refused to participate, almost every other influential sect and family could get involved.
Many sects and families benefited greatly from these dealings, attracting more and more cultivators to join in.
This behavior was, in fact, tantamount to collaborating with the enemy, but few cared.
When the Jiuqu League eventually became the Jiuqu Province of the Dali Dynasty, the Dali Dynasty's official order prohibited any commercial dealings with the Extraterritorial Invaders.
Many Primordial Spirit sects and large families had other sources of income and gave up on this route.
The laws of the Dali Dynasty were strict, and everyone had heard about it. As newcomers, there was no need to take unnecessary risks.
