The Golden Lotus Daoist priest had always arranged for disciples to observe and inquire about the situation in the earth sect's main altar.
This did not require the disciples to take risks. As long as they paid attention to the living conditions of the people in the surrounding areas, they could roughly figure out the movements of the demonic priest in the earth sect's headquarters.
First of all, the demonic priest of the earth sect also had to eat, so he would definitely buy food and materials from the people in the surrounding areas.
Secondly, the earth sect's Daoist priests had fallen into Demonic Cultivation and needed to vent their desires for a certain period of time. This included physiological desires, the desire to kill, and so on.
In terms of killing, the earth sect's demonic priest would not slaughter the people in the surrounding lands. After all, rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrow.
