Chapter 507: Uprooting the Source
Qin Sang and Wandering Man stayed on the small island discussing their plans until nightfall before parting ways to make their preparations.
After setting a time to rendezvous with Wandering Man, Qin Sang returned to the Sunken Cave. Seeing that the flying yaksha's condition had yet to improve, he knew it would be of no use in this operation.
He refined additional Lesser Yin Magnetic Bottles, nearly filling his Mustard Seed Pouch, and set out alone toward the east, carrying with him an ample supply of Earth Malevolent Qi.
...
Earth Fire Mountain was the location of the Demonic Flame Sect’s headquarters.
Earth Fire Mountain was a low-lying volcano nestled amidst towering mountain ranges, unremarkable and easy to overlook.
Daoist Jiupao had chosen this site precisely because it was secluded and rarely visited. Few outside cultivators ever approached it, greatly minimizing the risk of exposing the Kuiyin Sect’s surviving members.
Since its founding, the Demonic Flame Sect had maintained an extremely low profile while secretly gathering the scattered survivors of the Kuiyin Sect.
After killing Daoist Jiupao, Qin Sang had originally intended to eliminate the entire Demonic Flame Sect in one fell swoop.
However, the flying yaksha had nearly been crippled during that encounter. After weighing the pros and cons, he was forced to take it back for treatment. Then came his preparations to form a core, which left him no time to deal with the Demonic Flame Sect.
"The sect leader and the Four Demonic Flame Envoys have all died by my hand. It’s been over a year since any of their top ranks have shown themselves... I wonder what the situation is within the sect now. Are there still disciples remaining?"
Qin Sang silently darted through the forest, heading toward the Demonic Flame Sect's headquarters. Gazing toward the distant mountains, he murmured to himself.
