At first, when the Black Dragon invaded Devil City, it caused a nationwide panic across Xia Country.
Even though the Black Dragon King ultimately ended up sealed, and Xia Country repeatedly assured that there would be no issues with the seal, the aftermath still had a significant impact on Xia Country.
For example, the real estate industry in Devil City directly exploded.
No one, not even dogs, wanted to purchase houses in Devil City.
For instance, a massive number of businesses withdrew from Devil City.
This was a cursed land; countless people wanted to distance themselves from it.
Even though many believed that the higher echelons of Xia Country would not allow the Black Dragon to easily break the seal and invade Devil City again, who would be willing to wager on that assurance?
In recent months, the economic situation in Devil City had not been very good.
