It was not that those people behind the scenes could not be provoked but since Wolfden city had already suffered from the blood sects manipulation in the past and it had come under new leadership it had become a spot which many eyes were upon.
Wolfden city was becoming more popular as the years have passed by and many other people did not wish to have it turn to its previous state.
Many people were able to do business fairly and find jobs to secure their lives but also not have to worry too much about suddenly being murdered or kidnapped on the streets within their own city.
Many still had ill intentions towards the city but if they came out to act in the open they would be targeted by other forces who wished to deal them a deadly blow.
If anyone from the unorthodox alliance or blood sect had their own people within the city then they would have to worry about being exposed and having the martial alliance mobilise a team or army to wipe them out or they may just end up fighting among themselves.
Everyone was still in a place where they required more time to solidify their strength so would not make any big moves until the time is right and only smaller influences would act in a way that was different from them because they were less experienced with how the world truly works and were driven by short term goals.
The sudden deaths and the coverup that followed with putting pressure on the remaining gangs made those with more power realise that Wolfden city was not a pushover and could not be acted against unless a proper plan was put in place but to the smaller influences most of them were intimidated by the sudden change within the city.
It was as if it had been planned years in advance and kept getting updated as time went by and new people entered the city.
Then the time came to strike and it was efficiently executed so that everyone got the message.
In Wolfden City, trading is allowed and you can also rent a home within the city or start up your own business so long as it is legal and fair.
In Wolfden cities black market and the underworld, illegal dealings are allowed but human trafficking and other inhumane acts are strictly banned.
In Wolfden city, do not touch or provoke certain influences or risk being thrown out and banned from entering the city or even locked up in a prison.
In Wolfden city, do not make an enemy of Nox or you will die without even knowing that they struck
In Wolfden city, do not be known for committing heinous crimes and going unpunished or the reapers will take your life.
Those that knew of the background of the family behind the city also did not wish to conflict with the family who had dealt the northerners a heavy blow and effectively used a carrot and stick method to reduce the casualties from those passing through the border.
If that family collapsed and so did Wolfden city because of their greed then in the long run it would not benefit anyone because the northerners would invade once again and attack anyone no matter who is backing them.
Ever since the loss of the divine ice sect many had suffered losses at the hands of the northerners but at the same time if the northerners chose to target the Bombyx family or the surrounding cities then they would be the ones to suffer the most.
The Bombyx families way of making use of their forest terrain and walls to protect themselves worked against their enemies and they also put forward the cooperation of the mercenaries and gangs to fight off invaders within the surrounding cities to earn more money through tasks or missions.
It's not that they did not think of something similar to protect their interests, it's just that the profits they gained from their businesses or groups were not that much to cover the expenses because if something was not useful in some peoples eyes they would rather just abandon it rather than pay more to keep it.
The Bombyx family had many resources unknown to many influences and instead had received many profits from their businesses, organisations and also their ownership of Wolfden city.
The more they spread their business and influence the more money was made and the more people they recruited to work for them the more people put their lives in the families hands.
While the family could sacrifice a few of them in order to bide it's time and not provoke anyone it shouldn't, it would not always be that way and would try to save as much as possible when they can.
In fact it was more beneficial for those outside influences to take advantage of their useless groups and make them put their lives on the line just so they can take the tasks and receive the rewards to help them grow on their own rather than constantly asking for help from their superiors.
If they could make use of the Bombyx family to nurture their smaller and more useless pawns then they would benefit from keeping the Bombyx family where they are since it's not like anyone from that family had been known to be talented in martial arts.
Even if there was someone with high talents they would need a long time to grow and reach a point in which they could be considered to be a threat.
Even then if they were a threat at some point, if they had things they wished to protect they could not be in two places at the same time.
Either they would have to live a reclusive life and not bother anyone while making small sacrifices to those influences or they would have to leave the family in a vulnerable position while she goes to deal with her enemies or goes to do something else.
Ki's biggest weakness was her family but that did not mean that they were not safe if she left and even if she did leave she would not let it be known by many that she was leaving.
Only those she was travelling with, her family and the various leaders of each organisation or department would know of her whereabouts and the chances of them betraying was very low.
Even the people she asked her grandmother to contact would not be able to leak the news without her finding out eventually but if they did then they would not be spared once she had made full use of them for what she needs them for.
Ki was within her room as she submerged herself within a poisonous body tempering bath.
She continued to run both of her qi through her body with the Generation qi art as she made full use of her poison qi and blood qi to refine her body further and temper her bones.
Over the years she had reached a point in which normal blood of humans or beasts did not work as well to improve her blood qi and temper her body to the best of her abilities.
After gaining the blood and qi from many peak and transcendent martial artists who had far more vitality than others, she had spent most of her remaining time refining it and making use of it to refine her body past its previous limitations.
The next couple of days she worked hard to make full use of the collected vitality to refine her bones and collect as much energy within them as possible.
Just as she reached her limits she secluded herself within the room and asked that she won't be interrupted because she was in a critical point in her training and could not be disturbed.
If she was interrupted during this time and lost focus then she could die and everything she had worked towards would be wasted.
Without her many others would reach a stalemate with their training and the family may suffer from outside influences in the future.
So she made every preparation in order to ensure that she would be successful.
