Qiu Tiansheng's recent statements were certainly not made in madness.
The Heaven-Fighting Race and their Slave Race regularly launch sweeping raids against Earth Flame Mountain.
At such times, Qiu Tiansheng and his people have only two options.
First is to hide in place; second is temporary retreat.
Hiding in place relies entirely on luck and cannot accommodate many people.
If they aren't discovered by the Heaven-Fighting Race and their Slave Race, those hiding will survive post-raid.
If discovered, death is their only fate.
Temporarily retreating Earth Flame Mountain is certainly not foolproof.
Before the Heaven-Fighting Race starts their raid, ambushes and traps are set around.
Each retreat results in many deaths and subsequent pursuit by the Heaven-Fighting Race.
If not for the area's abundant cultivation resources, Qiu Tiansheng would rather leave entirely.
Qiu Tiansheng's suggestions were dismissed by the Grand Elder.
