Leiming City is called the City of Chaos because it is the highest-level border city within the territory of the Great Chu State, a level-four border city. Border cities of a higher level are no longer controllable by the Great Chu State.
Even for this fourth-level border town, Da Chu's control over this border town is extremely weak.
It can be said that the City Lord's Mansion of Leiming City is the official institution of Da Chu in Leiming City. However, the City Lord's Mansion does not have an absolute advantage in Leiming City. It is just a relatively large force.
Many forces do not need to give face to the City Lord's Mansion at all. The City Lord's Mansion has extremely limited control over this border town and can only guarantee the safety of the City Lord's Mansion itself.
In Thunder City, the ones who truly control this city are the overseas holy land and the foreign army.
The army that was fighting against foreign enemies was divided into countless factions, and each faction was extremely powerful.
Similarly, the overseas holy land is not a unified holy land, but an alliance composed of countless powerful islands overseas.
There are islands all over the East China Sea, abundant spiritual energy, many outstanding people and many masters.
However, these islands are scattered. Although some large islands are almost comparable to a small piece of land, the sects on these islands cannot be compared with the real holy places on the Xuanyuan Continent after all.
In order to fight against the giant organizations such as the holy places, hidden sects, and eternal families on the mainland, and also to protect themselves, an alliance was established under the organization of some powerful overseas powers.
This alliance calls itself an overseas holy land in a unified manner to the outside world.
The Shenlong Sect of the Great Chu State is known as one of the seven major sects, but in fact, its true strength does not even qualify it to join this overseas holy land. Shenlong Island is tens of thousands of miles in radius and is considered a huge island, but it is not worth mentioning in front of those huge forces in the overseas holy land.
As Leiming City is close to the East China Sea and is a border city leading to the battlefield of foreign races, the forces of the overseas holy land cannot be ignored in this city.
In addition to the two major factions of the Overseas Holy Land and the Expeditionary Army, there are dozens or even hundreds of various forces and sects that have established themselves in Leiming City and jointly rule this border city with huge benefits.
The Leiming City that Chen Lei is about to set foot in is such an environment.
In Leiming City, there are also branches of the seven major sects, such as Xuantian Sect and Thousand Demon Sect. However, no matter whether it is Xuantian Sect or Thousand Demon Sect, even if the main sect is placed in Leiming City, it can only be regarded as an insignificant force.
Therefore, the influence of the branches of the Xuantian Sect, the Thousand Demon Sect and other sects in Leiming City is almost negligible.
In Thunder City, every day is filled with robbery, murder, fights and other vicious incidents. Here, if you want to gain a foothold, you have to be fierce and ruthless, and fists are the most effective pass here.
Chen Lei had long heard about the chaos in Leiming City. As soon as he stepped into Leiming City, he saw a murder happening in the street.
A fat man had his head chopped off by a single blow, just because he inadvertently showed off his wealth and revealed a five-spirit jade pendant hanging around his waist.
The five-spirit jade pendant was naturally snatched away by the murderer, who also took off a storage ring from the fat man's hand.
