"I do know a little insider information..."
Chen Qingju said, pausing for a moment, then inquired:
"By the way, after all this talk, I still don't know how to address you."
Zhang Yao maintained his usual demeanor and replied:
"I am Zhang Qing."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Zhang."
Chen Qingju nodded slightly in acknowledgment, lowered his voice, and said:
"I've heard that the recent growth of Tribulation Cultivator gangs over the past decades is a result of intentional indulgence by several Golden Core influences in the Da Li Cultivation Realm."
"Intentional indulgence?"
Zhang Yao was intrigued, and his mind started to race with thoughts.
"Yes."
Chen Qingju nodded and continued:
"Tribulation Cultivator gangs at the Da Li border have existed since ancient times, seemingly impossible to eradicate completely."
