Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 160 - Stalemate...

As the Azure Sky Kingdom was absorbing their newly conquered territory and sorting all the former citizen of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, The Flying Sword Sect along with the rest of the big sects in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom finally got the news of the Azure Sky Kingdoms attack at the border.

The Heavenly Sky Kingdom was silent for a moment before they finally decided to actually send over some of their stronger experts at the seventh stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, while the Raging Flame Sect called back the elder, they sent over to support after news about their Sect Master disappearing and many of their higher-ups ending up injured during a trip to the deeper regions of the Burning Mountain Range.

Stating that the Azure Sky Kingdom might take this chance to attack them and try to weaken the overall power of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

The Heavenly Sky Kingdom did not believe this at first, but after one of their core experts went to check on the situation, they discovered that it was indeed true, and their Sect Master was indeed missing.

With this news coming out, the Seven Fates Sect also started calling back some of their people as they proclaimed to have observed unrest brewing at the western border of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

The Heavenly Sky Kingdom could only watch on in anger as all four sects slowly began to pull out of the border defence, with the Flying Sword Sect and the Spring Flower Sect retreating from the border last, stating there was no need for them to stay now that the Heavenly Sky Kingdoms core experts had showed up.

If a fight really did happen between these people in the later stages of the Nascent Soul Realm, someone at the third or fourth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm being present would make little to no difference.

The Heavenly Sky Kingdom knew this and thus did not fight so hard against it when the Flying Sword Sect and Spring Flower Sect decided to pull their people out of the conflict, instead they requested for them to support them with resources and other kinds of materials for the upcoming conflict between the Azure Sky Kingdom and Heavenly Sky Kingdom in return for them being able to retreat safely. Something both sects were more than happy to do.

Like this time passed with the Azure Sky Kingdom and the Heavenly Sky Kingdom being locked staring at each other.

After a few weeks had passed like this, news about a cure for the plague started circulating within the Heavenly Sky Kingdom as the royal family soon came out and confirmed this along with a plan for distributing the cure.

The person who invented this cure was apparently a royal alchemist that had come up with the recipe for the cure after visiting his hometown and observing how the plague affected his family. The royal family claimed he had gained enlightenment into how the plague would be cured after seeing his family suffering.

Though, all of this was a lie. The cure was instead deliberately planted in an obscure and worn-down notebook at the royal alchemist's village in a small library, that the royal alchemist just so happened to come and visit to read in peace whenever he was stressed about something, like his parents falling sick with the plague…

The cure itself was different from the first one made by Wan Qiu and would not be able to be used to track down the source of the plague. The Flying Sword Sect's Alchemy Hall had used the last few months developing a specific cure that could be used for this and wouldn't be able to be tracked back to them in the future.

Now all they had to do was wait and see how the people behind the plague would end up reacting when a cure to the plague suddenly appeared when they were preparing to move in and act as a saviour for the people and establish themselves inside the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

The person who came up with this plan to use the Heavenly Sky Kingdom's royal family as bait to see how strong the people behind the plague in the Heavenly Sky Kingdom were, was Elder Song.

Xuan Hao mostly just watched by the side as Elder Song was the one who ended up taking control of the matter, making sure that the Flying Sword Sect would not end up in any sort of dangerous situation due to the cure being released to the normal citizen of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

Watching how the entire thing played out, Xuan Hao really wished for Elder Song to take over the role as Vice Sect Master in the future, with him at the helm to deal with troublesome matters, the peaceful life of cultivating and teaching his disciples a few techniques here and there could continue.

Maybe he could even stop wasting most of his time on just cultivating and actually start learning some other useful skills or professions, like blacksmithing or how to construct different kinds of formations?

Crash!

"How did they manage to find a cure so quickly and without the support of the Sky Empire?! High Priest Wu! Come here now!" Angrily throwing an innocent teacup he was holding ruthlessly at the floor, the bishop read through the rest of the report laying on the table in front of him as he soon called for one of the high priests guarding the entrance to his room.

"What can I do for you, Bishop?" Walking in with a respectful look on his face, the High Priest quickly bowed down as he managed to identify the sad remains of the innocent teacup spread all over the floor and understood that the bishop was not in a good mood at the moment.

"Investigate this person for me and find out how they managed to find a cure so quickly!" Glancing over at the high priest, the bishop threw over a paper filled with the details of the royal alchemist before sitting down, grumbling something to himself about having to delay the conversion of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

High Priest Wu did not say anything and instead did another formal bow before turning around to exit the room with the paper containing the personal details of the royal alchemist.
