Chapter 1417 Happy Rabbit
Getting further and further away from the Iron Sky Kingdom, the young demonic cultivator stared feeling more and more relaxed. Clearly sensing that the strength of the people inside the chaotic region created in the absence of the Sky Empire was nowhere near enough to threaten him...
Whoosh-!
"Ah!? What is that?!"
"Noo-"
So, with that in mind, the young demonic cultivator didn't waste any time, as he quickly descended upon an outpost created by an empire for the purpose of mining a spirit stone mine. Killing all of the people inside the outpost without a second thought before using their blood and qi to rapidly recover his own strength, something he hadn't gotten the opportunity to do inside the territory of the Star Shattering Sect.
After all, he had been closely observed inside the territory of the Star Shattering Sect and would end up potentially being killed if he dared to do anything that disturbed the peaceful atmosphere than seemed to be present inside the Star Shattering Sect\s territory.
Of course, even though he did end up devouring quite a few cultivators, he was still not fully recovered, as the strength of the cultivators were only between the Qi Condensation Realm and the Domain Lord Realm. Far from enough to help a Peak True Demon Realm demonic cultivator like himself to recover after the near-death situation he had experienced while travelling from the Frozen Wastelands to the territory of the Star Shattering Sect.
Because of this, after wiping out the first outpost established by one of the many empires interested in harvesting the countless resources present in the chaotic region left behind by the fall of the Sky Empire, he wasted no time in heading towards the second to continue rapidly recovering his strength by devouring these cultivators.
Making sure that the outpost he ended up targeting didn't have anything to do with the Star Shattering Sect beforehand, as he understood full well that he wasn't entirely safe from them and would likely still end up dead if he ended up attacking one of their outposts.
In the end, because of this, countless outpost that had only recently been established in the chaotic region ended up being wiped out overnight without anyone knowing what had happened. Giving the Star Shattering Sect the opportunity to expand into these areas before anyone new could be send to the different resource gathering location. Wasting no time in making use of the increased number of Domain Lord Realm cultivators in the sect to secure these areas and prevent anyone else from taking them.
"This should have solved the problem with the demonic cultivators for now, the only problem is that I have no idea what that little fellow is up to..."
A few weeks earlier back when the young demonic cultivator had just left the territory of the Star Shattering Sect, Xuan Hao was silently gazing in the direction of the Iron Sky Kingdom as he muttered this to himself with a somewhat troubled expression on his face.
Although the situation of the Star Shattering Sect in the upcoming battles between the demonic cultivators of the Frozen Wastelands and the Blue Sea Empire should have significantly improved compared to before, he could not help feeling a bit uneasy not knowing what that young demonic cultivator was up to.
Even though he understood that the other party's identity as a blood child was rather unique, he also understood that this likely meant that whatever he was going to do had something to do with the Frozen Wastelands Demon King.
The entire situation made him feel rather uneasy, but there was not much he could do at this point in time outside of hoping that his earlier attempt to fool the other party into believing that the Star Shattering Sect was an ancient hidden sect had worked.
Of course, outside of that blood child believing it, it was also important for the Demon King behind the blood child believing it.
Though... Xuan Hao wasn't too worried about this, as the Star Shattering Sect did indeed seem a bit too unnatural in its rapid rise and sudden appearance.
Even if he went out of his way to tell everyone that the Star Shattering Sect wasn't a hidden ancient sect, it was unlikely that many would believe him. Especially after they confirmed the existence of cultivators above the Soul Ascension Realm inside the sect.
Not to mention, in case someone in the Demon King Realm or Celestial Immortal Realm ended up showing up to personally confirm the situation, there was a high chance that they would be convinced that the Star Shattering Sect was a hidden ancient sect due to the presence of the chaotic qi formation guarding the Shattered Star Peaks.
After all, that formation was more than capable of blocking someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm or Demon King Realm from peeking inside the sect. Giving the illusion that the sect was indeed far stronger than it actually was.
"All things considered, I guess the Star Shattering Sect should just become a hidden ancient sect- Yes! From now on, the sect is a hidden ancient sect that has existed for an untold number of years. Hidden away in the mysterious Shattered Star Peaks for tens of thousands of years before emerging to recruit a few new disciples!"
Saying this to himself, Xuan Hao felt that it would be a believable story... And so, he went to Elder Song to discuss the situation to officially spread rumors of the Star Shattering Sect being an ancient hidden sect. Hoping that it would be able to fool the different powers like the Blue Sea Empire, who might have already started to get interested in the Star Shattering Sect.
