Traveling from Fengshan Town to Sujiang River City required passing through more than a dozen Cultivation Markets of various sizes. Originally established by human cultivation families, these markets had now fallen under the control of the Monster Clan, Ling Clan, Yan Clan, and other groups. They had even set up checkpoints at critical points along the route to collect tolls from passing caravans.
Not only caravans, but even individual cultivators traveling along the road were forced to pay tolls.
Many cultivators, even those from alien races, dared not risk taking detours. Venturing off the main paths in these surrounding regions made one an easy target for bandit cultivators. While those with formidable strength might manage, slightly weaker individuals invariably met their doom.
