It turned out the Cursed Forest was inside the Black Devil Sect's territory, albeit a bit further away, making it less suspicious. According to Nelson, the Black Devil Sect seemed to avoid this place. This matter piqued Alex's interest as he was wondering if there was something special in this place.
After all, this place changed his opinion drastically from destroying the sect as soon as possible to destroying it after he was too powerful for the sect to handle. There was also another purpose by hiding inside the realm. It was to confuse the Fire God Clan and Black Devil Sect. For Black Deil Sect, Alex's group looked like they were heavily injured and needed a few years to recover. As for Fire God Clan, they would think Alex hid on the Northern Continent.
By doing so, Alex would have time to increase his strength peacefully.
