With suspicions in his heart, Shen Hao immediately turned to the Library, where there was no shortage of information on the situation south of the Southern Barbarians.
The so-called Southern Barbarians are, in fact, an alliance of dozens of tribes across the vast region south of Zhuo Huo Pass and west of the Treasure Sea. They were once called the Black Stone Royal Court, but after being dismantled by the Jingjiu Dynasty, they no longer dare to reorganize, and are now just referred to as the Southern Barbarians.
Although the name contains the word "barbarian," this does not mean the people there are savages. On the contrary, the cultivation civilization of the Southern Barbarians is highly developed; what's lacking is only the standard of living for ordinary people. For example, fur clothing is most common in the Southern Barbarian territory, but the workmanship is rough, merely sewing together pelts to make garments, with no sense of style to speak of.
