Chapter 84: Heavenly Sky Kingdom Refuses to Help

Seeing the tired Qing Yi leave the training ground, Xuan Hao turned around and focused on the still practicing Chu Yang swinging a practice spear around and hitting the steel training dummies from time to time.

After he had finished meditating a bit with his new cultivation mantra, the Soul Spear Divine Mantra, he had immediately began practicing some of the spear techniques included in the mantra and fell into a sort of zen state as he was enlightened to a whole new way of using the spear compared to what he had been doing beforehand.

As he stabbed, pierced and swung the spear in a rhythm of sorts, each move flowing seamlessly together resulting in a deadly attack on the poor steel dummy currently in front of him.

"Looks like he is doing quite well!" Xuan Hao could not help but let out a sigh of amazement as he stared at Chu Yang's beautiful spear moves and felt a little regretful that he had not trained the spear to such a degree… At least for now he was only proficient in the sword, in the future, he would have to master other weapons as well, so he could better teach any future disciple in whatever best suited them, be it a spear, a bow or even halberd…

The path to becoming a great teacher would be difficult and his plan of just being lazy and mooching off his disciples would not be able to come to fruition any time soon…

For now, he had to make sure his current disciples grew stronger and learned to take care of themselves and for that, he had to grow strong enough to protect them from any who would try and snatch them away from him or endanger them… It would not look so great if a random Domain Lord passed by and stole one of them away when he was not looking…

At least he had to grow strong enough to prevent something like that happening before his disciples truly started to showcase their talents to the world!

"Chu Yang, you can just continue to train, I will be taking my leave for now." Looking over at the still training Chu Yang, Xuan Hao called out as he made his way out of the training ground after receiving a small affirmative nod from Chu Yang.

There was not much for him to teach Chu Yang at the moment other than giving him a new cultivation mantra and a few spear techniques to practice.

…

At the same time that Xuan Hao was teaching Qing Yi and Chu Yang, Feng Chen, the Sect Master of the Flying Sword Sect was worriedly looking towards a communication talisman that had just recently been used by him to talk with some of the higher ups of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

After he had reported to them about the recent demonic sect that had sprung up in their own backyard, they had decided to ignore the matter for now as the aggression of the Azure Sky Kingdom needed more attention at the moment.

They could not spare anything to deal with a recently discovered demonic sect and would much rather only focus on the Azure Sky Kingdom.

After contacting them once again today to stress the importance of the matter, the Heavenly Sky Kingdom pretty much just told Feng Chen to have his Flying Sword Sect deal with it for now until the Heavenly Sky Kingdom finished defending against the Azure Sky Kingdom that had not even truly attacked yet… At most there was a small skirmish between those below the Nascent Soul Realm at the moment…

"Truly infuriating! They clearly want to use this as a chance to weaken the Flying Sword Sect!" Not believing anything that the Heavenly Sky Kingdom had said about wanting to deal with the Azure Sky Kingdom first before coming to deal with the demonic sect, Feng Chen clearly knew just how many Nascent Soul experts that they had left without much to do other than stay in the imperial capital of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

And for the Flying Sword Sect to deal with the newly established demonic sect, they would have to sacrifice quite a bit and might even end up losing some of their Nascent Soul experts, lowering the overall strength of the sect.

But at least for now, Feng Chen would not do anything to deal with the Black Rose Sect that was now a demonic sect as it had quite a few Nascent Soul experts before becoming a demonic sect, let alone now…

"Let's just play it defensively for now and hope for the matter between the Azure Sky Kingdom and the Heavenly Sky Kingdom be resolved as quickly as possible before the Black Rose Sect starts moving…" Muttering what he himself wished for, Feng Chen let out a slightly exhausted sigh as he picked up the communication talisman and contacted the Vice-Sect Master Zu Fei…

She would most likely not be happy when she realized the stance of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom on the matter of the Black Rose Sect becoming a demonic sect.

As for the strategy of playing it defensively until the clash between the Azure Sky Kingdom and the Heavenly Sky Kingdom was over, Feng Chen did really not want to do something so cowardly.

Let alone himself, Feng Chen knew that Zu Fei and most of the sect elders would not want to do something like that and would rather just clash with the demonic sect.

But with both the Heavenly Sky Kingdom and the Raging Flame Sect watching from the side, even a single slip up or lapse in judgement could spell the end of the Flying Sword Sect…

Even if the Flying Sword Sect could destroy the newly established demonic sect by Feng Chen and the other Nascent Soul experts going over there as well, they had nowhere enough Nascent Soul experts to protect their base at the same time…

"Hah… It's truly hard to be the Sect Master…" Not seeing any positive outcome no matter what decision, he took, Feng Chen let out one last exhausted sigh as he laid the communication talisman down and went out of his pavilion and moved in the direction of the Vice-Sect Master's pavilion.

Informing Zu Fei about the Heavenly Sky Kingdom's decision would go better if he informed her by mouth, lest she ends up doing something stupid after getting the news…
