The next few days.
Jiang Qiao watched the excitement while waiting for the people from Tianyu to arrive at Demon Port.
Perhaps they wanted to avoid getting involved in local disputes, or perhaps they thought it was meaningless. As one of the Top Factions in the Supernatural World, Tianyu Ancient Village actually had no one stationed at Demon Port.
Only before each voyage.
Would they send people over several days in advance to make preparations.
Liu Yuanyuan did not leave.
Instead, she thrived in Demon Port, establishing connections with every faction.
Through her.
Jiang Qiao learned some obscure details.
For example.
There seemed to have been a split among Demon Port's upper echelon. His Grace the Duke and another major figure had engaged in a conflict that caused very little commotion but was extremely intense.
Both sides.
Had suffered heavy losses in the Ma Dang Mountain ruins.
But what was intriguing was that all the other bigwigs on Demon Port's Management Committee remained silent, choosing to watch coldly from the sidelines.
They neither took sides.
Nor tried to make peace.
It was as if the incident had never happened.
Instead, several organizations from beyond the region were actively contacting His Grace the Duke, hoping to cooperate with him. His Grace the Duke's attitude was ambiguous as well; he neither agreed nor clearly refused.
The two sides simply continued their talks.
The conflicts surrounding the ruins had become less frequent.
The Black Shop Merchant was still in the city. Every day, plenty of people gathered outside, but very few could actually enter. Anyone below the Fifth Tier could not push open the shop door, while even ordinary Fifth Tier practitioners could not afford to buy the information inside.
Of course.
There were also some idiots who did not know any better.
