Chapter 508: The False Sect Leader
After a round of interrogation, Qin Sang gained a full understanding of the current state of the Demonic Flame Sect.
The late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, surnamed Luo, turned out to be a direct disciple of Daoist Jiupao and had recently been appointed as one of the new Demonic Flame Envoys.
At present, he held the highest status and the greatest strength within the Demonic Flame Sect, effectively taking over the sect in Daoist Jiupao’s place.
Aside from the three he captured, there were eleven other surviving remnants of the Demonic Flame Sect still within its territory. Among them, one was at the late stage of the Foundation Building Realm, while the rest were mostly at the middle stage.
Like a centipede that doesn’t die even when cut in half, this spoke volumes about the depth of the Kuiyin Sect’s foundation.
Daoist Jiupao had wished to sever all ties with the Kuiyin Sect, and so he had strictly forbidden all Kuiyin Sect survivors—except for the cultivator surnamed Luo—from interacting with the new disciples of the Demonic Flame Sect.
Usually, these remnants would remain in the cave, absorbing enough malevolent yin qi for cultivation before returning to the rear mountain to cultivate in seclusion, never coming into contact with the newer disciples.
In the Kuiyin Sect, Daoist Jiupao was their master, or their senior uncle.
These people had spent decades fleeing from Yuanzhao Sect’s relentless pursuit, living in constant fear. Now that they had finally found a refuge, and with their fates tied to Daoist Jiupao, none dared disobey his commands.
Possession would require time to recover strength afterward. Daoist Jiupao, confident in his success, had already summoned all his disciples back to the sect prior to the possession attempt.
Even those originally stationed at the Qingyang City to hold the fort had been recalled under various pretexts, all awaiting Daoist Jiupao’s reemergence.
Thus, every single Kuiyin Sect member who had sworn allegiance to Daoist Jiupao was now gathered within the Demonic Flame Sect, awaiting word. Qin Sang would not need to go searching for them.
