The constables of Beilin City grew busy as cultivators who intended to watch the battle began arriving in the city one after another.
Mi Lan had pushed Sun Fusheng’s previous system to its absolute limits. Entering the city required paying for a wooden token. Anyone wanting to watch the match had to go to the Arrest Bureau yamen to buy a stone plaque, while also conscientiously submitting to routine inspections by the patrolling constables. Those without a wooden token were fined; anyone resisting the law faced heavy penalties, and those who stepped out of line were shown a Holy Talisman directly.
Of course, those at the Saint Realm and above were exempt from fees. In case someone's stubborn temper flared up and offended them, the Beilin City Arrest Bureau wouldn't be able to handle it for the time being.
