The Man’s Decree – Chapter 5871

"Seems like Malevolent Path Hall has sunk its roots far deeper into level eleven than we imagined." Jared's voice stayed fiat, yet the edge beneath it could have sliced iron.

Vermilion Demon Lord flipped through the ledger, his brows knitting tighter with each page. "According to this, five strongholds circle the Blaze Region alone. The one inside Crimson Flame City is the largest, a Heavenly Immortal Realm Level Eight elder supposedly guards the area."

Jared nodded. "Crimson Flame City is the biggest city in the Blaze Region, and Earthfire Pavilion is headquartered inside its walls. With so much heat to draw on, the Hall's claws will be thick. We tread lightly once we arrive."

"There's still a little over two months until the Earthfire Trial... We have plenty of time," Vermilion Demon Lord said as he tapped the ledger. "Each nest we torch buys us another dusk. Their chain of command will scramble, buying us a cleaner road south."

"That's right," Jared replied, cold light flashing behind his eyes. "By now, Malevolent Path Hall's higher-ups should already know that Darkwind Gorge has fallen. I bet they're weaving a net across Crimson Flame City, waiting for us. The racket we stir along the way might be able to throw them into a frenzy."
