The Scarlet Council had done a superb job maintaining safety and order across the Everstrife Empyrean World and the Scarlet Kingdom. Conflict between cultivators was allowed, and even death in battle was accepted, as struggle was the core nature of cultivation itself. The Scarlet King had risen to his current throne atop the skulls of billions, and no one under his rule would ever deny the brutal reality of the path to power.
However, those battles were regulated and confined to places where they would not endanger ordinary citizens, people who simply wished to live their lives in peace. While killing was tolerated in the wilderness and lawless regions, there were still limits to the kinds of crimes the Scarlet Kingdom would overlook.
