Chapter 341 Late Penalty 3

When Bai Qingqian arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, located dozens of miles outside Mirage City, she discovered that the number of guests who had come was not as large as she had envisioned.

Within the Zhaoyang Palace, dozens of people were gathered, enjoying rare delicacies and extreme luxury, a characteristic common to merchants everywhere.

After a brief observation, she already had a general understanding. Most of the attendees were prominent figures from various large and small trading companies, and the level of representation was very high; however, the Quanzhen Sect's trading companies were absent, and a few from the Demon Sect factions were also missing, evidently deliberately excluded.

Among these merchants, the majority were from the Wu Sect's several states, Anhe, Taihao, and the Buddhist Sect's businesses. They could treat the Bai Family this way, but they didn't dare to confront the Demon Sect Alliance openly. That was the power at play.
