Yulin City's power factions continually need to obtain resources from the Qingming Sea.
Not only are these resources necessary for trade with others, but they are also required for internal cultivation practices.
Top-tier powers like the Dai Family and the City Lord Manor of Yulin City have ample reserves, while medium-tier factions like the Ai Family have limited reserves and must periodically head to the Qingming Sea to hunt.
The weakest factions spend all day fishing for resources and hardly save any.
Now, facing the Dai Family's merciless oppression, shops have refused to sell resources to the Ai Family, and resources the Ai Family doesn't need can no longer be sold.
This has led the Ai Family's resources into a dire situation, and it won't be long before they're exhausted. When that day comes and the guest elders leave the family, other coveting powers will rise and attack.
