Before leaving, David visited Tingfeng Tower once again.
He found some records mentioned by Liu Wenyuan about the strongholds of the Evil Path Hall in the northern region of Eleventh Heaven, and took out some valuable information and supplies.
“Fire Domain is located in the southern part of Eleventh Heaven, more than a million miles away from here.”
David spread out the map he got from Tingfeng Tower. “This journey will take us through hundreds of towns and villages of various sizes. According to the clues provided by Liu Wenyuan, there are at least three strongholds of the Evil Path Hall among them.”
A cold flash appeared in the eyes of the Red Cloud Demon Lord: “You mean”
“Since the Evil Path Hall wants to kill me, then I don’t need to be polite.”
David said calmly, “We’ll head south and take care of the outposts along the way.”
“Firstly, this will weaken the power of the Evil Path Hall; secondly, it will also allow us to obtain resources; and thirdly we might be able to find out more about the Earth’s Core Jade Marrow Milk and the soul of the Sesame clan’s ancestor.”
“Okay!” Red Cloud Demon Lord nodded. “I will come with you to fight!”
Without further delay, the two of them took flight and sped towards the south.
The Eleventh Heaven Territory was much broader than imagined; even an Immortal God cultivator would need several months to travel from north to south.
Fortunately, David and the Red Cloud Demon King were both strong, so even though their flying speed was suppressed, they could still cover 10,000 miles per day.
The cities along the way were mostly similar in size to Sandstone City, with some large cities having towering walls and strict formations, which were clearly guarded by True Immortal Realm experts.
David did not enter large cities, but only stayed in small and medium-sized cities to replenish supplies and secretly search for information about the stronghold of the Hall of Evil Paths.
The instructions given by Liu Wenyuan were mostly accurate, which made David’s operation much smoother.
The first outpost was located in a small town called Qingshi Town, disguised as a herbal medicine shop.
David and the Red Cloud Demon Lord snuck in late at night and quickly eliminated two Evil Path Hall level Five Heavenly Immortal cultivators and several of their subordinates guarding the area. They confiscated a number of pills and ingredients and obtained some information about the Evil Path Hall’s activities in the surrounding area.
The second stronghold was located in a bandit hideout called Blackwater Village.
The Evil Path Temple cultivators here were in cahoots with local bandits, making their actions even more brutal. David showed no mercy, working together with the Red Cloud Demon Lord to wipe out an entire village in one night, eliminating three Evil Path Temple cultivators and rescuing a group of kidnapped cultivators and civilians.
The third fortress is hidden beneath a gambling den in Ironrock, a medium-sized city.
The defense here was much tighter, there was even a level seven Immortal Lord from the Evil Path Hall stationed there.
David implemented a more cautious strategy. First, he used disguise to infiltrate the gambling hall, find out the structure of the fortress and distribution of personnel, then cooperated with the Red Cloud Demon Lord to launch a surprise attack at the time when the guards were most off guard before dawn.
This battle was more difficult than the previous two battles. The seventh rank servant was quite powerful and had mastered some vicious evil magic arts.
But David didn’t give him a chance to show his skills. He immediately used Void Slash to penetrate his protective magic treasure. Then, the Red Cloud Demon King and the Little Fire Qilin joined forces to launch a powerful attack. David took the opportunity to pierce his heart with a sword.
Of the more than twenty Evil Path Hall cultivators in the entire fortress, only three managed to escape amidst the chaos; the rest is executed.
After destroying three strongholds in a row, David obtained a large amount of spiritual stones, pills, materials, and several jade scrolls that contained lists of some missions and personnel of the Hall of Evil Path.
More importantly, in a secret room in Ironstone City’s stronghold, he found a secret book that recorded the locations and contact methods of several Evil Path Temple strongholds in the southern region of Eleventh Heaven.
