Chapter 98: Phoenix Peak of Nine-Peak Mountain
The robes issued by the Yuanzhao Sect were completely destroyed in the underground cavern explosion, and Qin Sang hadn’t had the time or mind to tidy himself up. After months of fleeing, he now resembled nothing less than a wild man.
As the weather warmed, the population grew denser, and the towns along the way became more prosperous. Qin Sang felt it was about time. He changed into clean clothes and slipped into a small town to find out his current location.
"Zheng Kingdom..."
Qin Sang devoured a large meat bun at a bun shop, having just learned that he was now within the borders of Zheng Kingdom. The name felt vaguely familiar, and after a moment of thought, he recalled that Immortal Master Han had marked Zheng Kingdom on the geomantic map he had given him.
After leaving the bun shop, Qin Sang found a quiet place and took out the geomantic map from his Mustard Seed Pouch, silently thanking his good fortune.
Indeed, Zheng Kingdom was marked on the map, situated on the far western edge. If he continued westward for a little longer, he would soon be beyond the map’s scope.
Zheng Kingdom lay southwest of the You Mountain Range, separated by a considerable distance. It was already within the territory of the righteous sects.
In the southern part of Zheng Kingdom, there was a place called Nine-Peak Mountain. Judging from the small portion shown on the map, although it couldn’t compare to You Mountain, it was still a notable landmark in the area.
After some thought, Qin Sang decided to head to Nine-Peak Mountain. He planned to find a spiritually rich and secluded place to establish a cave dwelling, where he could first heal his old wounds. Then, he would try to find other immortal cultivators to gather information, before continuing south to escape deeper into the territory of the righteous sects.
