Chapter 2017: Chapter 2017: Killing this kind of person is also a life-for-life?

It wasn’t because they had killed people, rather, on the Illusion Continent, there were people being killed or killing others everywhere, right?

After all, this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, and if a soul cultivator killed someone, it was merely considered the victim’s bad luck for being too weak and getting killed by mistake.

"This is Qingping City!"

Zimo looked at the foolish expressions of Zhe Jue and reminded him.

This place was originally a barren land, used by the Lord of Sky City to shelter people coming from the barren lands and was named Qingping City.

From this name, one could discern that it was not permissible to kill people at will here. Otherwise, how could the people who came from the barren lands and lacked cultivation survive here for so many years?

It must have been an order from the Lord of Sky City forbidding harm to any person in Qingping City.

"Brother-in-law is right, this is Qingping City. If I’m not mistaken, my great aunt used to live here. I wonder if she ever mentioned it to Sister Sangsang."

Yue Chushui looked at Lin Caisang and asked.

Lin Caisang shook her head without saying a word.

Perhaps this place held bad memories for her mother, so she had indeed never heard her mother mention this place.

Turning her head, she looked at her elder brother, who also shook his head, showing that he too had never heard this name from their mother.

"In Qingping City, if someone dies or disappears, the Lord of Sky City will send people to investigate, and if it is ultimately found out who killed them, they must pay with their lives."

Yue Chushui continued.

"Hmph."

Jiang Zuo scoffed disdainfully.

"Pay with their lives for killing someone like her?"

That old hag had eaten so many people, and yet they were expected to pay with their lives for it, showing that the Lord of Sky City was a failure!

"You don’t understand, the fact that people knew Granny Chang ate human flesh but dared not touch her shows that it’s not that they didn’t want to, but that they were afraid, or perhaps they hadn’t found evidence of that wicked old woman eating human flesh."

Lin Caisang spoke to Jiang Zuo.

"Plus, Granny Chang must be one of the older residents here, having lived here for quite some time. The others, although they might have the desire, lacked the courage to deal with her.

It was just by chance that we encountered her, otherwise, who knows how many more she could have harmed?"

Hearing her words, everyone nodded, agreeing it made complete sense. As for Granny Chang, better she died sooner rather than later... no, better she never find peace!

"Sister, when I was out, I saw the other people’s poor living conditions and scarce herb fields. How could that old hag have such a vast herb field?"

Lin Changhong raised his own doubts.

Granny Chang’s herb field was indeed too vast, with no other homes in sight.

"Two possibilities."

Lin Caisang raised two fingers and looked at him.

"First, this place originally had other herbalists, but they ran away to other places for fear of being eaten by Granny Chang; second, the herbalists who used to be here have all been killed by Granny Chang.

Which possibility do you think is more likely?"

She raised her eyebrows at the group, posing the question.

After hearing her words, only one thought remained in everyone’s minds.

"The second possibility seems more fitting," Zimo said.

Although this was Qingping City, it was ultimately a territory of Sky City, and all the land belonged to Sky City.
