Cityscape and Population

Yuanshan City is a prosperous human city with clean bluestone streets crowded by pedestrians, merchants, and food vendors. Visitors may enter without questioning or an entrance fee. 13

  • Dozens of cultivation families of varying size are stationed in or around the city, alongside three nearby first-rank sects. 13
  • The city’s prosperity draws both cultivators and ordinary residents; Great King West Rat becomes reluctant to leave after seeing it. 25
  • Yuanshan City has no regular teleportation array, as prefectural cities lack the traffic to justify their cost. The Underworld later uses a concealed Small Teleportation Formation to evacuate surviving agents. 33 35
  • The Ku Mansion stands in one of the city’s most prosperous areas, while the Blood Corpse True Person maintained a remote, secluded residence. 26

Major Institutions

  • Yuanshan Tower — The local branch of Zhishou Tower, concealed in an unmarked two-story building within an alley. It is the largest faction accessible in Yuanshan City and operates as part of Zhishou Tower’s citywide shadow network. 17
    • Tantai Qingrun serves as Tower Master during the Underworld incident. 18
    • Jiang Rong serves as vice Tower Lord and has deep local influence after nearly a century with the organization. 19
  • City Lord's Mansion — The official seat of Yuanshan City. Its City Lord, Luo Yan, is exposed as Rakshasa, an Underworld infiltrator. 28
  • Great Xia Trading Company — The city’s largest trading company, backed by the Great Xia Imperial Family. 14
  • Monster Hunter Alliance — A branch operates on one of Yuanshan City’s most prosperous streets and provides escort and monster-hunting commissions. 34
  • Myriad Treasures Tower, Ku Mansion, and Disha Pavilion — Institutions later identified as Underworld forces operating within the city. 43

Underworld Infiltration

The Underworld invested heavily in Yuanshan City for years, using it as the base for its plan to seize Qi Yuan’s Heavenly Mystery Mirror Fragment. Its agents concealed a Blood Pool outside the city behind a high-grade Illusion Array, deliberately allowing Qi Yuan to discover traces of it so that he would investigate locally. 16 21

The conspiracy reached into the city’s leadership: Luo Yan, the City Lord, was Rakshasa in disguise. He directed Qi Yuan to use Observe Heaven inside the pre-arranged Three Spirits Demonic Array at the City Lord’s Mansion. 28 29
