Chapter 701: Stirring of Intent
Qin Sang asked in a low voice, "Daoist Fan, you sent a message in the marketplace claiming you know of a sea route through the Thousand-Demon Sea. I hope you weren’t trying to deceive me into coming here."
All the cultivators present had seen Qin Sang in the market inquiring about this information, so his question came as no surprise.
Daoist Fan chuckled. "There’s no need to worry, Daoist Qin. In truth, your request is the easiest to fulfill. It can hardly be considered a condition at all, since this cave dwelling was something I discovered by accident along that very route. Before entering the Thousand-Demon Sea, I will hand over the geomantic map to you all..."
"The Thousand-Demon Sea?"
"The cave dwelling is inside the Thousand-Demon Sea?"
"Do you have any idea how dangerous that place is right now?"
Everyone was alarmed and began talking all at once.
Daoist FAn raised his hand and motioned for calm. "Please don’t panic. While the cave dwelling is indeed within the Thousand-Demon Sea, it lies far from the areas where the evil cultivators are gathering. You all know that the commonly accepted sea route passes near the southern edge of the Thousand-Demon Sea, and that region is where the evil cultivators are most rampant. But this cave dwelling is located in the northern section. The distance between them is vast. Those notorious heretics have yet to form any real threat and would not dare provoke both races by extending their reach that far."
After repeated confirmation, the others gradually accepted his explanation.
For a while, silence descended on the island.
Daoist Fan did not press them, and judging by his expression, he seemed quite confident.
Qin Sang was weighing his options. Deep down, he was already leaning toward agreeing. Both the potential Spiritual Infant cultivator's treasures and the route through the Thousand-Demon Sea were well worth the trip.
