Chapter 276: Stalemate between the two Kingdoms

"B-but… W-where is Feng Chen?"

Not having expected his answer, the ancestor of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom began looking around the room anxiously. Stuttering nervously as he asked Xuan Hao. 

"He is not here currently… Even if he was, it won't change the fact that the Flying Sword Sect will not be helping the Heavenly Sky Kingdom in their war with the Azure Sky Kingdom!"

Glaring coldly at the elderly ancestor, Xuan Hao did not hold back in the slightest as he had no plan to help out the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

"I… Hmph! I will remember this!"

Freezing for a short moment before saying this, the ancestor of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom angrily stomped his feet before leaving the meeting room and quickly making his way out of the Flying Sword Sect.

"Do you know anything about this…?"

Looking over towards the entrance that the ancestor of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom had left through, Xuan Hao asked in a confused tone as Wang Hu appeared at the entrance to the meeting room and walked over.

"I really have no idea… He clearly already found out that you were in the Domain Lord Realm, but still dared to act like that! I think we will have to wait until the Sect Master returns before asking him what it's about…"

Shaking his head with an equally confused look on his face, Wang Hu did not know anything about why the ancestor of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom acted like that either as he came to a few meters in front of Xuan Hao.

"Hah… How troublesome… At least we should finally be able to relax now that the Raging Flame Sect is dealt with. The Azure Sky Kingdom and Heavenly Sky Kingdom fighting with each other is not something for us to worry about as their fight ultimately won't matter too much for us…"

After saying this, Xuan Hao felt that the future looked extremely bright.

With the Raging Flame Sect gone and the church of the plague god no longer active in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, there was really nothing to worry about and he could focus on his disciples.

The Flying Sword Sect would also begin officially merging together with the Spring Flower Sect when Feng Chen finally decided to show up again… At that point, the Flying Sword Sect would reach a new height as they would need to expand their territory to further strengthen the sect.

The Sect Alliance by the Sky Empire would also be able to give them a way to act as an independent power inside the Sky Empire.

The Seven Fates Sect seemed to have already gone this way as they already declared themselves independent from the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

Now, the only two strong sects left in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom were preparing to merge together before leaving the kingdom… This could truly be considered the worst time since the Heavenly Sky Kingdoms establishment in the past.

They would lose almost all their territory outside of the core region of their kingdom in one fell swoop… At the same time, the Azure Sky Kingdom was threating the complete destruction of their kingdom as they were attacking the core region itself…

"Well… It has nothing to do with me anymore…"

Muttering this to himself as he thought about the current situation of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, Xuan Hao exchanged a few words with Wang Hu before leaving the meeting hall and making his way back towards his pavilion.

From now on, he would not need to worry about anything with the Flying Sword Sect's current position as a sect with a Domain Lord in it, he could begin fully focusing on training up his disciples and help them increase their strength.

In the future, all he had to worry about was learning how to properly cultivate his disciples into powerful experts in the future!

…

With the Heavenly Sky Kingdom trying its best to gather more people to defend against the invasion of the Azure Sky Kingdom, many of the weaker sects were forced to sent some of their people over to help.

This resulted in a stalemate as the Azure Sky Kingdom were forced to a halt after one week of battle, both sides unwilling to let go of even a single inch as the ancestor of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom was personally holding down the front on the side of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom. Making sure that the Azure Sky Kingdom had no way to forcefully breakthrough.

All of this, however, did not matter to the Flying Sword Sect as news about one of their elders having reached the Domain Lord Realm began to spread out. Deterring anyone from looking for trouble with them.

The destruction of the Raging Flame Sect also served as a warning to those who had planned to act against them after someone had leaked the news that they would be merging together with the Spring Flower Sect sought after by many of the sects in the neighbouring kingdoms.

The now demonic sect known as the Black Rose Sect on the other hand, seemed to have completely disappeared from the Heavenly Sky Kingdom as they were nowhere to be found when Xuan Hao went to the location of their sect to destroy them once and for all.

Like this, time passed by peacefully in the Flying Sword Sect.

One month after the destruction of the Raging Flame Sect, Feng Chen and Zu Fei had not returned yet. The only news they had received from them was a brief explanation from Feng Chen about both of them having met up and being close to finding out where the missing sect master of the now destroyed Raging Flame Sect was located.

Xuan Hao had mostly spent the last month training Qing Yi and Chu Yang different combat techniques along with a much-needed movement technique for each of them.

Bai Ning on the other hand was still only in the Qi Condensation Realm, so Xuan Hao just focused on teaching him the basics as he increased his cultivation realm. Already having reached the third stage of the Qi Condensation Realm in only one month!
