With the matter of the Blood Piercing Pills settled, Xiao Chen found himself with a lot more time on his hands.
At Mei Yong's strong urging, the Sect dispatched another group of Qi Refining Stage disciples to Hezhou.
Ye Fei and the others were tasked with establishing a branch of the Demon Extermination Hall in Hezhou and building an intelligence network for the Li Huo Sect.
Since the information the Qi Refining Stage disciples had access to was chaotic and unsorted, the volume of intelligence Xiao Chen had to process each day increased dramatically.
He gradually developed the habit of sitting in a pavilion each evening to read through reports from the Demon Extermination Hall.
This had its benefits, however. With a large volume of intelligence at his fingertips, he quickly gained a general understanding of Hezhou.
In terms of landmass, Hezhou was roughly twice the size of Li State.
