The Black Market in Xuanye City was extremely complex.
According to Tieshou's explanation, this place had originally been an underground stronghold where local residents resisted the Wilderness fiends during the World Tribulation. Demonic blood had soaked the earth, and countless demonic remains had rotted, their evil miasma seeping into the local earth vein. As a result, the land was plagued by toxic malevolence; cultivators within its bounds found their spiritual energy blocked and their divine sense unable to extend outward.
After the World Tribulation, Xuanye City was established. Due to its unique circumstances and with few normal residents willing to settle there, the area gradually transformed into a lawless zone on the city's outskirts.
