"Something unexpected happened with the Flame Fire in the sky. It took much longer than usual to go out. I'm afraid other complications might arise, so I don't plan on returning to the mine for now."
The Centipede Dragon looked up at the sky where the Flame Fire had gone out. The state of the Flame Fire had been a problem for over a century, and he'd been stuck in this push-and-pull for decades, but he'd never seen a change like this before.
He didn't dare advance. If the Flame Fire suddenly reignited, there were plenty of people in the Bronze Sect who could kill him.
'This Centipede Dragon sure is cautious,' Su Chen noted inwardly. But his tone was light as he said, "Don't worry."
"What? Do you know what happened?" The Centipede Dragon detected the hidden meaning in the Faceless Ghost High Priest's words and couldn't help but ask.
Su Chen nodded. "Yes, the condition of the Flame Fire is improving. However, there shouldn't be any more changes for a while."
"You're sure?"
