Martial Peak

Half a month later, outside Fragrance City.

This place’s prosperity was no less than any of the great cities in the outside world. It was also the place where the Beguiling Demon Queen lived.

The Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land covered a vast area but was roughly divided into six territories, each one belonging to one of the six Demon Kings.

With Fragrance City as a center point, all the land within a radius of several thousand kilometers belonged to Shan Qing Luo.

For the past two weeks, Shan Qing Luo, Yang Kai, Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man had passed through the territories of the other Great Evil Kings, forcing them to be constantly on alert.

Now stepping into Fragrance City, no matter whom it was they couldn’t help feeling relieved.

After two weeks of traveling together, not only had Yang Kai’s impression of the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land changed, even Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man had their previous impressions completely subverted.

From the rumors they had heard, the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land was filled with evil cultivators, where demons rampaged about, and every person they encountered was some kind of heinous criminal.

But after accompanying Shan Qing Luo, they found that the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land was far different compared to the rumors about it! At the very least, the site which she occupied wasn’t that kind of infernal hell.

It was undeniable that there were indeed many evil cultivators in the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land, but many of the people here were actually just ordinary people.

There was no lack of cultivators around who had committed some kind of crime within their Sect and had been forced to flee to the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land. There were also some who had offended large forces that they could not afford to and had sought refuge in the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land. Still others were here because the Secret Art or Martial Skills they practiced were eerie and they had been classified as demon by the world and expelled from their homes like plague rats.

It could be said that the majority of the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land cultivators simply had their own bitter pasts but were not necessarily evil.

“This world only recognizes their so called righteousness, shunning any kind of darkness within their hearts, labeling such practices and feelings as evil… It’s all just sophistry!” Shan Qing Luo said certain helplessness apparent in her tone.

Although she was one of the six Great Evil Kings and governed a vast land that stretched across thousands of kilometres, she still couldn’t do anything about this world’s deep-rooted prejudices.

Yang Kai couldn’t help suddenly remembering the words Old Demon had once said to him.

What is a man, what is a devil? Men and Devils are all one in the same!

Everyone had demons within their hearts.

As they continued forward, Yang Kai quickly noticed how vibrant the city was, a fact that amazed him to no small degree.

It he wasn’t clearly aware that they hadn’t left the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land, Yang Kai would have sworn that this Fragrance City was just another town in the outside world.

Everything here was no different from the grant cities in the outside world. The streets were filled with ordinary shopkeepers and people pawning their goods. Cultivators swam through the crowds like carp, and most of whom didn’t engage in any wanton bullying in their interactions with these ordinary people. Occasionally there was a cultivator exuding a thick Demonic Qi, but even they were for the most part following the rules of Fragrance City and didn’t make the slightest bit of trouble.

From time to time, Yang Kai would spot cultivators dressed in black uniforms patrolling about. These were apparently the law enforcement teams charged with maintaining order.
