Chapter 118 – Return To The Flying Sword Sect
Flying away from the Black Rose Sect, Xuan Hao came to a stop and landed on the ground after traveling in the direction of the Flying Sword Sect for 30 minutes straight. During the travel, Elder Skinling did not say a single word as he just quietly let Xuan Hao carry him away from the Black Rose Sect.
"You are free to go now, I would recommend leaving the Heavenly Sky Kingdom as quickly as possible if you don't want the Black Rose Sect to come after you in the future! With this my promise can be considered to have been fulfilled!"
Upon reaching the ground, Xuan Hao let go of Elder Skinling as he warned him before quickly ascending into the sky with Chu Yang still unconscious, making his way back towards the Flying Sword Sect.
"Thank you!" Bowing deeply in the direction of Xuan Hao's disappearing figure among the clouds above, Elder Skinling felt a genuine sense of gratitude as he would not have to worry about his past sect coming after him and hunting him down.
He had managed to leave! Even if he had ended up both of his arms, he could still recover them either with the help of a healer or through cultivating. Reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, one would go through a complete rebirth of sorts and recovering his two arms at that point should be more than doable.
"Now where should I go first? The Azure Sky Kingdom is still at war with the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, so going there would not be such a great idea… I might even end up getting dragged into the conflict if I go there!" Going over his current situation, Elder Skinling smiled a bit to himself before shaking his head.
"I will just try and head to the Cloud Sky Kingdom for now, they have always remained neutral and peaceful whenever something happened, and they will most likely not join the current conflict between the Heavenly Sky and Azure Sky Kingdom." Coming to a decision, Elder Skinling did not stand around and wait for any longer as he made his way in the direction of the Cloud Sky Kingdom.
"Hopefully, I will be able to recover my strength and reach the Nascent Soul Realm there…"
…
As the former elder of the Black Rose Sect Skinling was making his way towards the Cloud Sky Kingdom, Xuan Hao had made his way back to the Flying Sword Sect.
"Xuan Hao! How did things go, and did you manage to get your disciple back safely!? Did you kill off those damnable demonic cultivators!" Just as Xuan Hao made his way in through the gates of the sect, the Vice Sect Master Zu Fei came over with a slightly worried, but even so more angry expression on her face when she mentioned the demonic cultivators.
"I'm fine and the Black Rose Sect should not be able to bother us in the short term… At the very least their Sect Master is currently seriously injured." Xuan sighed slightly upon saying this, but quickly recovered.
Earlier he had used up most of his qi in the attack against the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect, but even then, he had still managed to survive the attack.
"Injured?! How strong was he?!" Upon hearing that the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect had only ended up seriously injured, Zu Fei wore a shocked expression on her face.
Xuan Hao was a Nascent Soul Expert in the sixth stage and a sword cultivator famous for having combat strength above their own cultivation realm! No matter how strong the Black Rose Sect had become due to becoming a demonic sect, Zu Fei had never expected for their Sect Master to be that strong.
"A-are you okay…?" Glancing over at Xuan Hao more carefully, Zu Fei tried to see if he had managed to get injured as well.
"I'm fine, I managed to get away before the other Nascent Soul Realm Experts of the Black Rose Sect made their way over to help the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect. For now, I will go back and make sure nothing happened to my disciple, I will personally go to the Sect Master and report what happened in detail later." Saying this, Xuan Hao made his way back towards his pavilion, while Zu Fei quickly went back to what she was doing beforehand.
It was only a coincidence that she had managed to meet Xuan Hao just as he entered the Sect, and she made her way out to deal with a task given by the Sect Master Feng Chen.
The journey back to the pavilion went without any incidents as Xuan Hao made his way up the mountain that the pavilion was located at.
"Master and Chu Yang…? W-what happened to Chu Yang, do you know where he disappeared to in the last few days?" A person suddenly appeared a few meters behind Xuan Hao as she quickly ran over and asked with a slightly confused voice.
"Qing Yi? Ah, Chu Yang is just unconscious. Nothing to worry about." Seeing that it was just his disciple, Xuan Hao quickly assured her that nothing was wrong with him and began to explain what had happened over the last few days of him going missing.
"I see… So Junior Chu Yang was kidnapped by people from the Black Rose Sect and master went to save him!" Upon hearing Xuan Hao's nonbiased explanation about how he had saved Chu Yang from a den of demonic cultivators and heroically injured their leader in the process, Qing Yi's eyes started shinning as she looked at her master with respect.
To think he went into a lair of demonic cultivators to savejunior Chu Yang!
Qing Yi felt that her master was really awesome at that moment and even started imagining the scene for herself.
"Let's return to the pavilion for now so I can put down your junior brother." Carrying around his disciple was not really something he wanted to continue doing, so with Xuan Hao leading the way, both he and Qing Yi made their way up the mountain.
