And in the Black Market, the most distinctive feature compared to other areas was the sight of patrol teams passing through the streets before disappearing around another corner.
These patrol teams, though they might appear intrusive,
Were actually established to ensure the safety of the Black Market.
No matter how 'black' the Black Market was, it still revolved around business.
And in business, safety naturally becomes the most important concern.
This was true both for the merchants of the Black Market and for the cultivators who entered the market to find what they needed.
And this Black Market was located within the heart of Smoke-Cloud State mansion.
With forbidden killings within the state mansion, the frequent sight of patrols gave everyone a sense of security.
Here, there was no need to worry about things like strong-arm buying and selling, or backstabbing deals commonly found in dark corners.
