The system's sudden voice made Su Tian freeze for a moment.
"Salt City?"
Su Tian was certainly no stranger to this city.
Salt City stood in the eastern provinces of the Jia Ma Empire. Its broad roads made it an essential gateway from the empire's interior to the eastern provinces, giving it an excellent strategic position.
For that reason, the empire had stationed a large garrison year-round in this city, reputed to be the largest in its eastern provinces.
As for the so-called Mo Clan in Salt City, Su Tian knew quite a bit about them as well.
In fact, when Xiao Yan later fell out with the Misty Cloud Sect, the Mo Clan was one of the indispensable fuses that set the conflict ablaze.
Aside from the empire's forces, the most powerful faction in Salt City was naturally that clan.
The Mo Clan!
Thanks to the Mo Clan's overbearing monopoly, nearly sixty percent of Salt City's businesses belonged to them.
Even after deducting the necessary taxes and the considerable sums spent greasing palms, their annual profits continued to fatten the Mo Clan.
Although a tall tree readily caught the wind, with a colossus like the Misty Cloud Sect backing them, even the Jia Ma Empire's Imperial Family would not readily make trouble for the Mo Clan.
Thus, through their unrestrained expansion, the Mo Clan had all but become Salt City's local overlord.
Had three other clans in the eastern provinces not kept them in check, the Mo Clan would probably have extended their influence into other major cities long ago.

At that thought, Su Tian narrowed his
