Maplewood City

Maplewood City was once just a small city in the Southern Territory of Star Boundary, and is the place where Yang Kai arrived at after escaping from Blue Feather Sect. Maplewood City eventually gained significance when a World Energy Spring sprouted nearby due to Yang Kai ridding the area of Ancient Demon Qi. This resulted in the formation of Spirit Lake Palace by the top forces of Southern Territory. Yang Kai also did major business with the Violet Source Chamber of Commerce in this City.

## Notable Members

* City Master: Duan Yuan Shan. Initially the 2nd Order Dao Source Realm City Master of a small City, his role becomes a lot more important once Spirit Lake Palace appears. He initially has two 1st Order Dao Source Realm Vice City Masters known as the Drunkard and Zhuang Pan respectively.

* Vice City Master: Drunkard.

* Vice City Master: Zhuang Pan  (Former). Initially the arrogant Vice City Master who comes into unnecessary conflict with Yang Kai on their first meeting, Zhuang Pan’s despicable conduct eventually leads him into betraying and abandoning Maplewood City during the Ancient Demon Qi incident. Later, he joins Flying Saint Palace, where he serves as a Deacon before he is brutally killed by Yang Kai after shamelessly returning to cause trouble in Maplewood City.

* Manager of Violet Source Chamber of Commerce - Kang Si Ran. Kang Si Ran runs the Spirit Pill Plaza Yang Kai works at shortly after his initial arrival in Star Boundary, and their ensuing friendship eventually leads the former to being promoted as the Maplewood City Manager for the Violet Source Chamber of Commerce.

* Zhang Ruo Xi

* Ghost Hand Shen Tu - Though not an actual member of Maplewood City, Ghost Hand Shen Tu is a 1st Order Dao Source Realm bandit that terrorizes individuals within its vicinity. He is eventually killed by Yang Kai during the latter's promotion to the Dao Source Realm.

## Notable Sect and influence

### Jiang Family

Once the most powerful and respected influence within Maplewood City, the Jiang Family would secretly force innocent people, such as Zhang Ruo Xi, to work as slaves within their mines. This would eventually lead to their complete annihilation due both their offending of Yang Kai and the release of Ancient Demon Qi that was sealed within their mines.

### Zhang Family

The original home of Zhang Ruo Xi, the Zhang Family was a relatively small family that allied itself for generations with the Lu Family of Maplewood City. However, the Lu Family would eventually betray the Zhang Family by both killing its Patriarch and trying to absorb it. Fortunately, the Zhang Family would be rescued by Yang Kai. Later, the Zhang Family collectively moves to Yang Kai’s High Heaven Palace.

### Lu Family

After their betrayal and murder of the Zhang Family Patriarch in the Five Colored Treasure Pagoda, the Lu Family would continue to suppress them with the hopes of absorbing them into their own family. However, this plan would be thwarted when Yang Kai proceeded to wipe them out.

### Qin Family

The home of Qin Yu and Qin Chao Yang, the Qin family was initially another one of the stronger influences of Maplewood City, and would develop a great relationship with Yang Kai during his time there.
