Four years ago, the Wen family took control of the sole management rights of the Spirit Pearl Mountain market by hiring some robbers who had escaped from Inverted Mountain, and recruiting some loose cultivators to pose as robbers to harass the market.
However, since they took over, the robber attacks continued unabated.
The Wen family speculated that the other four families might be imitating them, but they were equally unable to resolve it.
Eventually, under pressure from several businesses with sect and top-tier cultivating family backgrounds within the Spirit Pearl Mountain market, the market once again resumed the previous joint management mode.
A year ago, after a robber was captured and exposed that the Wen family had hired robbers and attempted to silence them, the four families seized the opportunity to put the Wen family to death.
Finally, the conflict between the five second-tier families erupted after years of peaceful coexistence.
