He was afraid the person who'd stolen the Phoenix True Flame would find reinforcements and come back.
He had managed to scare the person off earlier.
But seeing how badly injured he was, there was no guarantee his attacker wouldn't go find help and return.
Their motive would be to covet the Bell Magical Artifact, the Alms Bowl Magical Artifact, and his other possessions.
So, naturally, he had to find a new place.

The two Human Puppets walked through the woods, their pace slower than before.
And on their shoulders,
Qi Yang clutched the black alms bowl in one hand and the bell that controlled the Human Puppets in the other.
He was on constant alert.
His eyes darted about, searching for a suitable place to hide and tend to his wounds.
Eventually, he found a hollow in the mountainside.
After having the two Human Puppets set him down, he directed one of them to go inside and clear it out.
Then he had both Human Puppets carry him inside.
