Where is the righteous fairy we were promised?

This not only made Lin Wanqing appear even more gentle and graceful.

The morning light on the horizon shone on the walls of Canglan Immortal City, making them appear as if they had been painted with gold.

This massive city is considered the pinnacle of artifact crafting in the Southern Wilderness cultivation world.

Under the warm sunlight, it radiates a light that is impossible to look away from.

"Fairy Lin, this city is called Canglan Immortal City."

Jiang Ning remained calm, lightly tapping the railing with his fingertips, and recounted in a detached tone:

"This is a city jointly controlled by the five major immortal sects."

“There are more than ten such giant cities in the eastern part of the Central Continent.”

"Without exception, they were all occupied by the five major immortal sects."

"The five major immortal sects claim that all the major cities for cultivating immortality in the eastern part of the Central Continent were crafted by their ancestors."

"But in reality, whether it's the Five Great Immortal Sects or the Five Great Demonic Sects, they're just cuckoos occupying another's nest."

"You should know that these magnificent cities that have stood firm in the Central Plains have existed for tens of thousands of years."

"And the ten major sects of both the righteous and demonic paths have only existed for tens of thousands of years..."

Lin Wanqing, standing on the other side, did not respond.

She simply listened quietly to the scandals surrounding the ten major sects.

After all, Lin Wanqing had never left the eastern mountains before.

Lin Wanqing naturally knew less about these things than Jiang Ning.

However, Lin Wanqing's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.

She glanced at Jiang Ning, who was leaning on the railing and gazing into the distance.

When she realized that he hadn't even glanced at her, a hint of annoyance welled up inside her.

"That bad man..."

"Why could he act so naturally after doing that to me?"

"Don't you know how to apologize to me?"

"That's terrible!"

Lin Wanqing bit her lip and stomped her foot in annoyance.

She turned away in a huff, refusing to look at the figure that both pleased and annoyed her.

"Humph!"

Jiang Ning turned and glanced at Lin Wanqing.

However, Jiang Ning didn't pay any attention to her girlish thoughts.

Instead, he remained vigilant about his surroundings, continuing to gaze at the magnificent city and recounting the events one by one.

"Canglan Immortal City is a city composed almost entirely of cultivators."

"Among them are the strongholds of the five major immortal sects, as well as a large number of independent cultivators."

"Within the territory of Canglan Immortal City, private duels are prohibited; violators will be jointly executed by the five major immortal sects."

"Cultivators trade, cultivate, and live here..."

"Then we'll all get fleeced by the five major immortal sects."

At this point, Jiang Ning suddenly sneered, as if talking to himself:

"So, here's the question!"

In a city that was clearly built for cultivators...

Why is it said that there are 'almost' no mortals?

Lin Wanqing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

She couldn't help but turn her head again to look at Jiang Ning across from her.

She seemed curious as to why he suddenly brought up this question.

However, Jiang Ning seemed to be just talking to himself and didn't seem to be offering her an answer.

In reality, Jiang Ning simply didn't bother to explain the reasons.

Anyway, Lin Wanqing will definitely find out after she enters the city.

The truth is actually quite simple.

Within the Canglan Immortal City, some cultivators have extremely filthy hobbies.

Every ten or eight years, they would "invite" some young, beautiful, big-breasted, and curvy ordinary women from the mortal world.

Then, he locked himself in the cave and played some unspeakable little games with them.

Even though the vast majority of ordinary women are forced into it.

But in the face of absolute power, weak mortals have no choice.

Some even more perverse cultivators would abduct the husbands of mortal women as well.

Then, in front of other women's husbands, they would go to great lengths to defile their wives.

—"The Husband's Current Offense".

Until those ordinary women were tamed to the point of being unable to extricate themselves from their desires.

Then she killed her husband and wantonly abused the female slaves under her command.

Even in some street corners of Canglan Immortal City, some cultivators would bring out their female slaves.

They were sold or sexually exploited openly, like livestock.

The five major immortal sects do not concern themselves with such sordid matters.

As long as you are a legal resident who has purchased a cave dwelling in Canglan Immortal City.

Then these things fall under the category of "legal".

Just make sure the areas where people "stroll" don't affect the "city's appearance."

In any case, from the perspective of the five great immortal sects who are high and mighty...

The fact that they can allow mortals in the Southern Wilderness to live a normal life is already an immense favor.

If it weren't for the fact that each immortal sect needs mortals with good aptitude to regularly replenish the new generation of disciples and followers...

The five major immortal sects, which claim to be righteous, have long been openly refining large numbers of mortals into immortal products such as "Fortune and Prosperity Pills" to prolong their lives.

What business is the Five Great Demonic Sects of here?

The reason why the five great immortal sects are the righteous path, while the five great demonic sects are promoted as the demonic path.

Besides the fact that their overall strength is weaker than that of the righteous immortal sects.

Another reason is that they are simply too "unruly" in their actions.

For example, refining elixirs of fortune and prosperity for mortals, and setting up a grand array to absorb the life essence of mortals...

All the righteous sects and factions will come secretly!

Only in this way can ordinary people remain forever in the dark about such sordid things.

Throughout their lives, mortals only know that righteous immortals are incredibly powerful.

Every time they descend to the mortal realm, it's to save people from suffering.

—Sustainability by exploiting the depleted resources.

However, the sects and forces on the demonic path are doing the opposite of those on the righteous path.

They do not slaughter ordinary people.

Moreover, cultivators even protect mortal settlements.

What's even more infuriating is that the demonic sects didn't even bother to secretly set up the Longevity-Sustaining Array.

All things considered, they actually treat mortals better than the righteous immortal sects.

Isn't this blatantly "demonic behavior"?!

If these "unruly" sects weren't portrayed as terrifying demonic forces...

How can the mortals of the Southern Wilderness Realm be so grateful to their righteous immortal sects?

Since mortals are short-sighted and foolish, they are completely unaware that they have unknowingly become the cultivation resources for cultivators.

Then let the mortals continue to be grateful!

The five major demonic sects do not refine mortals...

That means all those cruel acts of slaughtering mortals in various parts of the Southern Wilderness were done by their demonic sects!

The five major immortal sects have not publicly revealed how to refine it...

This means they have never harmed mortals; they are all righteous immortal masters who protect the lives of mortals!

—If the logic is correct, then yes.

Before entering Canglan Immortal City, Lin Wanqing was unaware of this matter.

She only noticed that Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly became somewhat frightening.

But just a moment later, Jiang Ning suddenly laughed again and flashed to her side.

"Hey……"

Before Lin Wanqing could get far away, Jiang Ning pulled her into his arms again.

She struggled symbolically for a moment, then said irritably:

"Jiang Ning, what are you up to now?"

Jiang Ning smiled warmly, a slight upturn to his lips.

It was as if the change in her gaze earlier was just Lin Wanqing's illusion.
