Chapter 566 - 428: Raid
At the foot of Ming Mountain, teams from all over, far and wide, had gathered, forming campsites both large and small.
Among them were northern tycoons accompanied by hundreds of servants and Protectors, sea merchants with all manner of gold, silver, and jewels, fierce gang leaders with grim and savage faces, and Generals emanating with the aura of iron and blood, each carrying various deadly weapons...
Every day, warriors from different regions converged here, waiting for a summons from the Ming Mountain Sect, all for one spot within the mountain.
And according to the current customs of this age, such a concentration of powerful individuals from every corner of the land invariably meant that skirmishes and battles were inevitable. This place should have been a stage for a different show of slaughter each day, becoming a chaotic battlefield.
Yet, at this moment, these warriors who had once dominated their own realms were now at the foot of the mountain, displaying their Divine Skills. Some moved mountains to fill valleys, while others conjured things to build walls, gradually creating a well-ordered town.
A young man with a buzz cut watched as street vendors hawked their wares, polite passersby walked by, and a few Martial Artists engaged in silent rivalry, with no one resorting to violence.
He marvelled to himself, "Is this Mirror World? No fighting, no battles, everyone trading and living their days in an orderly fashion, just like the old days in the real world?"
Next to the young man, another middle-aged man with a crew cut spoke slowly, "I was shocked at first as well, but you’ll understand after staying a few days. It’s not that there’s no conflict here, but all the battles are suppressed beneath the surface."
"At first, this place was a mess, with blood everywhere, and so many corpses no one could bury them."
"But the Ming Mountain Sect acted swiftly, laying down the law within the borders of Ming Mountain: no warrior shall engage in violence, murder, theft, plundering, or rape."
"The first day saw the execution of hundreds of warriors, the second day, another hundred, and killings continued into the third day... It’s said it lasted for seven days and nights. Since then, no one has dared to cause trouble in broad daylight."
