As Qin Huaian flew toward the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land's branch in the Violet Thorn Mountains, he saw many cultivators flying toward the outskirts of the mountains.
The sight did not surprise him.
When he had teleported near the Violet Thorn Mountains, he had received a message from Liu Qing.
Not long before, large numbers of cultivators from the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land had flown out of the Violet Thorn Mountains in every direction.

Liu Qing guessed that the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land had anticipated Qin Huaian's arrival in the Violet Thorn Mountains and sent its disciples away ahead of time.
By now, Qin Huaian encountered very few cultivators still fleeing the mountains.
It seemed the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land's cultivators had almost all escaped.
Qin Huaian casually wiped out a few who flew straight into his path and soon reached the range of the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land's Monitoring Array.
By the time he arrived, not a single cultivator was in sight. Qin Huaian flew straight toward the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land's Central Hall.
The moment Qin Huaian entered the Monitoring Array, the many cultivators in the Central Hall sensed his approach, though he was still nearly ten million li away.
They had only just sent the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land's many disciples out of the Violet Thorn Mountains by flying ship or Teleportation Array. Its Immortal Venerables had not even fully sealed the mountain-guarding array before Qin Huaian reached them.
"Elder Zhao, Qin Huaian has entered the Heavenly Treasure Sacred Land's territory." Everyone had already spotted him
