Duanmu Huai really wanted to interview that old monk. What was he thinking when he watched Cthugya descend from the sky and the scorching flames turned his flesh and bones to ashes? Was he terrified, or expectant, or perhaps in despair? Would he see reality clearly, or would he remain trapped in his delusions until the very end, unable to extricate himself?
Unfortunately, Cthugya did not treat anyone kindly. Just his entrance wiped out everyone on the small mountain top. Not only him, but those Flame Essences fell like raindrops from the sky, quickly igniting everything around. In an instant, the entire mountain top was ablaze, the flames so bright they turned the night sky red! Those standing on the mountain were already turned to ashes at Cthugya's arrival.
