"Go to that manor? I can't go there."
Zhang Huaping's expression changed drastically on the spot, and she flatly refused.
The group of Demon Cultivators deep in the mountains outside the city destroyed the long-standing clans and villages more than a hundred years ago and have been entrenched there ever since, extremely fierce.
Travelers and caravans often pass by and fall victim to their cruelty.
Yet, they control the largest Magic Copper mine in the area, one of the core economic arteries.
More than eighty years ago, the City Lord made a resolute decision and called on various Cultivator families to join forces to enter the mountains and eliminate the bandits, but they suffered heavy losses.
It has now become a forbidden zone that everyone fears.
The shopkeeper advised:
"Though that group of Demon Cultivators is bad, they aren't stupid. They won't attack merchants with prior connections; otherwise, who would dare to do business?"
