chapter 53: reason since they couldn't openly attack and annihilate taiyi sect, the zhao family had been secretly scheming. for example, they sheltered traitors from taiyi sect like fang meng, intending to use their identities to interfere in taiyi sect's internal affairs. later on, zhao family cultivators discovered the hideout of a foundation building-stage ghost cultivator, which was the abandoned mine mentioned before. compared to taiyi sect, this hideout was like a big piece of fat meat. of course, within this fat meat, there were also great risks. the taiyi sect traitors, including fang meng, were forced by the zhao family to enter the mine as cannon fodder. most of them died at the hands of the ghosts in the mine, while fang meng managed to escape skillfully and disappeared without a trace. the only one saved by the zhao family cultivators was fang yong. inside the abandoned mine were numerous ghosts that posed a bit of a challenge even to the zhao family's refining qi late-stage elders. meng zhang's practice of lesser yang qi art had a special restraining effect on ghosts and evil spirits. this level of information had long been disclosed to the zhao family by fang meng. moreover, zhao family patriarch zhao yanbei considered that although taiyi sect was a long-declined small sect, it still had a long-standing legacy. there might be some formidable techniques hidden in the hands of taiyi sect's sect master, meng zhang. so, after extensive discussions among the zhao family high-level members, they settled on the plan. they secretly placed restrictions in fang yong's body and sent him back to taiyi sect. on one hand, fang yong could act as the zhao family's informant, providing them with the latest information from taiyi sect. on the other hand, through fang yong, they could reveal some information about the abandoned mine to lure meng zhang into exploring it. the hideout of the ghost path cultivator certainly held sinister techniques. with meng zhang, who cultivated lesser yang true qi, leading the way, zhao family cultivators could reduce casualties and save a lot of effort. however, meng zhang didn't follow the plan and refused to fall into the trap. after such a long time, he not only never went to the abandoned mine but also showed no interest in doing so. looking at the timid fang yong, zhao chen felt a surge of anger. he couldn't tell if meng zhang was truly cautious and had no curiosity or if fang yong, the useless man, couldn't deceive meng zhang and was exposed. therefore, zhao chen repeatedly questioned fang yong about all the details of his contact with meng zhang. to prevent fang yong from lying, they inevitably used some means, making him suffer greatly. apart from honestly answering questions, fang yong kept crying and begging for mercy. while the zhao family was preparing to intrude forcefully into the abandoned mine, meng zhang, who had already returned from the abandoned mine with a full load, arrived at firewell market as planned. a journey of over four thousand li was not something the wind chasing horse could cross in one go. they galloped all the way, stopping and camping several times along the road, taking several days to reach their destination. even the wind chasing horse was exhausted, and meng zhang felt a bit tired. firewell market was just as its name suggested, established on a group of fire wells. the original location of firewell market not only had a second rank top-grade spirit vein but also many fire wells around it. the so-called fire wells were naturally occurring cracks on the ground that continuously spewed intense flames from the underground. earthfire sect, skilled in refining tools, was the first to discover this place. the flames gushing from the ground were the best for refining tools. the tool refiners of earthfire sect used various means to control the flow of these underground flames and confined them within a series of fire wells. during this process, flying swan sect also put in a lot of effort and also stretched their hands in to grasp some benefits of firewell market. of course, earthfire sect cultivators were known for their madness, and some of them were fearless maniacs. even flying swan sect didn't want to provoke madmen easily. although earthfire sect was nominally a subordinate of flying swan sect, they had considerable autonomy. flying swan sect treated earthfire sect with relatively mild attitudes, and both sides cooperated happily and developed together at firewell market.
