At the edge of the Demon Abyss.
Giant flags flapped in the wind, standing erect with massive black characters for "demon" emblazoned on their eerily white surfaces, and patterns of deep red, blood-like hearts.
White background, black demon, red heart, these were the distinctive emblems unique to the Demon Heart Sect.
Several disciples dressed in white robes adorned with the black demon red heart pattern sat in meditation under some flags, guarding against outsiders who might break through the array defenses and enter the Demon Abyss.
They were even more worried that someone would succumb to madness within and burst out of the Demon Abyss, wreaking havoc upon the world.
Surrounding the Demon Abyss, a multitude of similar defensive arrays had been built, manned by disciples from various branches of the Demon Sect.
At midday, the sun hung high in the sky.
Those hundred-zhang-tall flags cast their shadows onto forests below in the brilliant sunlight.
