Chapter 530: External Cores
Qin Sang stood in the shadows, his gaze fixed on the grand array.
He stared at it for a long while, but still couldn’t locate the array eye. The protective array of the Demonic Qingyang Sect had been constructed by a Spiritual Infant cultivator, and its profound intricacies left Qin Sang with a splitting headache and no leads at all. In the end, he had no choice but to give up.
Still, he knew full well that even if he found the array eye, it wouldn’t mean he could break out.
If he wanted to leave, he had to wait for the Demonic Qingyang Sect to activate the array on their own.
Qin Sang quickly weighed his options.
His presence had already been exposed though the two who discovered him were now trapped and likely dead by the Ancestral Sacred Flame, unable to send out any warning.
But this delay wouldn’t last long. Once that Core Formation Realm cultivator returned and rescued them, the truth would come to light. The sect would seal the mountain, and mobilize all their forces to launch a sect-wide manhunt. They wouldn’t rest until they caught him.
Trying to repeat the old trick—lurking in the dark and waiting for an opening—was clearly no longer viable.
Once the sect locked down the area, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar. He would have nowhere to run.
Qin Sang was in a weakened state. Until he became fully attuned to the power of the corpse core, he had no means of charging into the azure light to silence those two.
In fact, Qin Sang even doubted that even with full control over the corpse core, provoking the Ancestral Sacred Flame without the aid of the Demonic Qingyang Fire would only bring disaster upon himself before he could kill them.
He had felt the Ancestral Sacred Flame’s power up close and knew how terrifying it was. If those two hadn’t cultivated the Demonic Qingyang Fire and been protected by that strange azure banner, they would’ve been reduced to ashes the moment the azure light surged.
