I'm wondering what are A-Ting's and her senior brothers' relative locations. Hoping they meet up.
They're both in the thousand mountains and we saw the brother in the place void of Qi and life, so I'm guessing they're somewhat in the same region.
But I thought the explanation for the dead places' existence was the ability of the creature he's chasing with the fish general. Does that mean the evil cultivators have nothing to do with it? Or are they working with/using that being?
If you add the mortals' problems, there's so many threads to that story it's hard to follow everything sometime.
