Chapter 121: Feng Chen Enters Secluded Cultivation
Travelling to the Sect Master’s pavilion did not take long and Xuan Hao soon made his way inside under the guidance of one of the few servants in charge of cleaning the pavilion. The servant in question was of course a man… The last time that the Sect Master had hired a female servant in his pavilion, the Vice Sect Master apparently held a meeting with the two other Core Elder’s that ended with the Sect Master transferring the female servant over to another elder a few days later.
What they had talked about in that specific meeting, Xuan Hao had no clue, as it had happened before he had joined the Flying Sword Sect.
Even Wang Hu and Wang Lan did not dare to talk about what had happened during that meeting and Xuan Hao knew that it would most likely be best if he did not continue asking about it.
“We are here.” Coming to a spot in front of the Sect Masters room once again, the servant quickly backed off and returned to his duties. Leaving Xuan Hao to stare blankly at the door for a few moments before finally knocking gently on it.
“Come in.” The voice of the Sect Master echoed out from the inside, as the door slowly opened.
Xuan Hao did not stand around as he walked directly into the Sect Master’s room.
“Xuan Hao, how did it go? I was quite confused when you asked me to let that demonic cultivator run away with your disciple, but it seems like you managed to deal some damage to the demonic sect? How strong were they? How many Nascent Soul Realm Experts do they have? Did you find out what they were up to?” The moment Xuan Hao made his way inside the room, Feng Chen came over as a barrage of questions flew forward, catching Xuan Hao off guard as he did not expect for him to be so enthusiastic.
“Feng Chen calm down a bit… Your enthusiasm is quite overwhelming!” Taking a few steps backwards trying to make a bit distance between him and Feng Chen, Xuan Hao tried to get him to calm down a bit.
“Ahem… Sorry for that, I was just a bit worried when I heard that you failed to kill off the Black Rose Sect’s Sect Master even with your strength! They were way stronger than I had expected for them to be and the trouble they will bring in the future will be endless…” Looking a bit embarrassed at his earlier enthusiastic behaviour, Feng Chen quickly calmed down and once again had the appearance befitting of a Sect Master.
“Well… I did manage to injure their Sect Master quite heavily and the rest of the Nascent Soul Realm Experts were mostly just at the first stage of the Realm, so they should not be planning to do anything before their Sect Master recovers.” Saying this, Xuan Hao inspected Feng Chen’s face to see if his expression had improved, but this did not happen, as the serious look on his face only deepened even more after hearing what he said.
“But he will still recover at some point and then we will have to find a way to deal with him and the rest of the Black Rose Sect when that time comes… It’s a disaster waiting to happen, at the very least we have some idea about how strong they are, so we can prepare for it.” Hearing what Feng Chen said, Xuan Hao also felt the seriousness of the matter.
The Black Rose Sect might be dealt with for the time being, but what about in the future when their Sect Master recovers?
“I will go into closed door seclusion and try to reach the eighth stage, inform the Zu Fei and the Wang Brothers for me when they return from the border. Only if the Flying Sword Sect grows stronger will we have a better chance at surviving the incoming danger and any future problems… So, what if we manage to deal with the Black Rose Sect, who knows what danger tomorrow will bring?
The Sect needs to be stronger… Xuan Hao, I’m planning to contact an old friend of mine from the Spring Flower Sect to come over before I go into seclusion. Remember, DON’T let Zu Fei discover that I was the one who called her over…” Having a serious face throughout the entire explanation for him going into seclusion, Feng Chen could not help but wear a slightly more cautious and scared look when he talked about his “old friend” from the Spring Flower Sect.
Xuan Hao knew that there might be something between this old friend and the Vice Sect Master Zu Fei, but he decided not to ask, as it had nothing to do with him.
“If that is all, I will be taking my leave.” Seeing that there was most likely not anything more to do, Xuan Hao turned around to leave, he still had to check in on his disciple and return the Devil-Immortal Jade to him, even if it had been partly destroyed.
Xuan Hao did not really care that much about the Devil-Immortal Jade and did not want to waste time investigating it. Having his disciple do that for him was a much better choice, as the chances of investigating it and its origin would most likely lead to him going on a journey outside the territory of the Flying Sword Sect.
As for whatever benefits that his disciple would get from the Devil-Immortal Jade in the future, Xuan Hao would not care. After all, as long as his disciple grew stronger, so would he! All he had to do was remain quietly in the sect and wait for his disciples to grow stronger.
Exiting the pavilion of the Sect Master, Xuan Hao looked back and saw that the array formation surrounding the room where Feng Chen was located had activated, completely isolating his room from the rest of the world.
The Sect Master of the Flying Sword Sect had officially entered secluded cultivation and would most likely not come out unless something major happened.
The war between the Azure Sky Kingdom and the Heavenly Sky Kingdom was nowhere near being threatening enough to be considered something major, after all, the truly strong experts on both sides still remained quiet for now.
