Chapter 79: Chu Yang is still Trying to Escape and Unrest at the Border
As he listened to the sound outside of the room Chu Yang only let out a breath of relief when he heard the sound of the angry elder Wang disappear in the distance. For now, he was safe!
Ring~
A zither sound suddenly reverberated through the air as Chu Yang sat down on the ground to catch his breath and it was only then that Chu Yang discovered that the house he had entered was filled with all sorts of musical instrument.
Ring~
As the sound of the zither spread through the empty house filled with all sorts of musical instruments, Chu Yang felt himself slightly drawn towards the source of the sound.
The melody being played at the moment was neither sad nor happy and seemed indifferent to the world, giving off an otherworldly feeling.
“There…” Stopping abruptly in front of a glass door leading out to a small opening, Chu Yang saw a young girl sitting with a beautifully decorated zither playing by herself.
And at the next moment…
Ring~
The sound of the zither was cold and indifferent as Chu Yang heard the zither sound ringing in his ears becoming completely immersed in the sound of the zither.
It was only when the sound of the zither stopped that Chu Yang realized that he was standing only a few steps away from the young girl who had been playing the zither earlier and she was currently staring directly at him with a cautious look on her face.
“This is…” Not knowing how to explain his reason for sneaking up on a young girl, Chu Yang could only smile awkwardly as the two of them stared at each other quietly.
“Ah, that damn brat sure could run fast… As both Chu Yang and the young girl sitting with the zither stared at each other without saying anything, a certain elderly man suddenly walked into the small house and entered the small opening.
“…” Stopping in his footsteps, elder Wang’s mouth opened slightly as he stared between Chu Yang and the young girl with the zither.
“H-hello again… Looks like I have to go…” Not knowing what to do, Chu Yang took the opportunity to exit the small opening through a door leading back onto the main road of the residential area.
“YOU DAMN BASTARD! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER!” Just as Chu Yang exited through the door, a loud scream full of anger and a bit of killing intent was heard from behind him and Chu Yang did not to hear anything more as he quickly ran as fast as his legs could possibly carry him.
He had clearly felt the killing intent behind elder Wang’s voice and knew that his chances of returning to his new master in one piece had decreased…
…
As Chu Yang was being chased around in the Flying Sword Sect by the elder Wang, further away at the border between the Azure Sky Kingdom and the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, another elder from the Flying Sword Sect also having the name of Wang was standing inside of a small meeting room that had just recently been set up.
“Elder Wang Lan of the Flying Sword Sect, how do you think we should react to the recent deployment of another three Nascent Soul experts from the Azure Sky Kingdom? You can after all be considered the one with the most experience present in this regard…” As Wang Lan was looking at a map laying on the table deep in thought, a calm and collected feminine voice came from one of the people present inside the small meeting room.
The person in question had skin as white as snow, a beautifully decorated jade hairpin secured her long black hair, removing it would surely cause her hair to gently cascade down her silk robe all the way to her waist. She almost seemed like an immortal fairy, both graceful and alluring at the same time.
But Wang Lan did not let this fool him so easily, he knew very well who this alluring lady was! She was older than him by at least a few hundred years, an old hag hiding in the skin of a young girl… Truly shameless… A Nascent Soul expert could to some extent retain their youth, but most men chose to appear as elderly men or someone in their forties…
Just so they could come out as someone older and wiser… As for the female part of Nascent Soul cultivators… Well… Most of them were like the lady who had just asked Wang Lan for a suggestion earlier…
At least in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom and the neighbouring few kingdoms, it was like this…
“For them to deploy another three Nascent Soul experts can only mean one thing… They are getting ready to attack! We will have to be ready for the upcoming battle. Seventh Flower… How many people will your Spring Flower Sect send?” Answering the question of the beautiful woman also known as the Seventh Flower of the Spring Flower Sect. Wang Lan turned away from the map on the table and looked up at her.
“The Fifth Flower of my Spring Flower Sect will join as well, what about your Flying Sword Sect? Will you send anymore people?” Hearing Wang Lan’s question, the Seventh Flower answered truthfully as she asked Wang Lan in return.
“Hah… with our recent… conflict… with the Raging Flame Sect, we don’t dare to send any more people out…” Shaking his head in guilt, Wang Lan looked a bit angrily towards a certain person in the room.
“The Raging Flame Sect won’t be sending anymore people for the same reason as that rusty sword from the Flying Sword Sect.” The person in question answered before the Seventh Flower could say anything.
“WHO ARE YOU CALLING A RUSTY SWORD! Damn sparkle boy…” Yelling a bit angrily, Wang Lan retaliated as his aura flared up.
“Sparkle boy!? Damnable rust sword! I wi-”
“Now, now, calm down both of you will you…? The Seven Fates will send three people over to make up for our friends… shortcoming…” As the elder sent by the Raging Flame Sect was about to explode, a calm voice echoed out in the room and an elderly man stepped forward and released his aura to restrain both Wang Lan and the elder from the Raging Flame Sect.
“With that settled, let’s go over and tell the Royal family about our decision…” Seeing both Wang Lan and the elder from the Raging Flame Sect being restrained, the Seventh Flower from the Spring Flower Sect stepped forward and spoke.
“…” Both Wang Lan and the elder from the Raging Flame Sect did not say anything and just followed the two back out of the meeting room.
The meeting today was about how many Nascent Soul experts each of the four great sects of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom would send to help strengthen the border of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.
The Strongest of the Four Great Sects was the Seven Fates Sect, followed by the Spring Flower Sect, Raging Flame Sect and finally the Flying Sword Sect.
They had already been at the border for quite a long time and the fighting had been getting increasingly more intense.
At this point in time, they would have to go out and face some of the Azure Sky Kingdoms Nascent Soul experts from time to time and prevent them from interfering in the battle between those below the Nascent Soul Realm.
The amount of Nascent Soul experts that the Azure Sky Kingdom had gathered at their side, at this point in time, had already grown to a terrifying number and the Heavenly Sky Kingdom and the four great sects were prepared for an all-out war to break out at any moment.
CREATORS’ THOUGHTS
PurpleSpring
Thanks for the suggestion Lucifer_Loop_, I will try and do what you have suggested, as I also feel like it will be a great idea. This here is my first attempt at introducing some new things and starting to have chapters about different happenings around the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, so as to better develop the background of villians, friends or passerbyers of the mc and his disciples. This is of course also to help develop the world more :3
