Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Chapter 107: Framing the Demonic Sect...
Feng Chen had gotten word of what happened at the border only a few hours after it had actually happened, this was mostly due to the fact that Wang Lan had ended up fighting with another Nascent Soul Realm expert soon after the incident and only after getting away from where most of the fighting was happening, did he managed to contact Feng Chen once again and inform him.
It was not long before Feng Chen managed to gather Core Elder Wang Hu, Vice Sect Master Zu Fei and Xuan Hao together in a somewhat secluded pavilion to discuss what their next plan of action would be.
"So, what are we going to do? My brother will surely end up doing something stupid at this rate… Not to mention that the Azure Sky Kingdom has more Nascent Soul Realm experts compared to us!" Wearing an extremely distraught expression, Wang Hu asked after hearing what was happening at the border and how precarious his brother's situation was.
Xuan Hao remained silent as he had no idea what to do in such a situation, even if he made his way over to the border, he would most likely not be able to do much other than get Wang Lan out. Maybe his presence as a relatively high-level Nascent Soul Realm expert would even cause the Azure Sky Kingdom to send forth some of their strongest experts…
"Calm down, there is not much we can do, as we will still have to be careful with the threat of the Raging Flame Sect close by, at least the Heavenly sky Kingdom won't take this lying down! They are most likely already preparing to send some more Nascent Soul experts over to help defend the border as we speak." Looking at everyone present, the sect master Feng Chen answered Wang Hu's question.
"But I can't just leave my brother to fight alone like this! Feng Chen, at the very least, allow me to go to the border to help my brother!" Understanding very well that the current situation was not that favourable for them, Wang Hu still chose to ask.
"Hah… Fine you can go, the Raging Flame Sect should not attack us anyway with the threat of the Azure Sky Kingdom." Seeing the hopeful look in Wang Hu's eyes, Feng Chen could not bring himself to refuse him.
No matter what, it was his brother who was in a precarious position. Not being able to retreat back to the sect due to the pressure from Heavenly Sky Kingdom, even if he ran away from the battle at the border, he would most likely end up getting hunted down by the Heavenly Sky Kingdom if they survived the attack from the Azure Sky Kingdom.
Worse, it would implicate the Flying Sword Sect and give the Heavenly sky Kingdom a reason to get rid of it, in its place, it could appoint a more obedient sect that they already had control of to look after the territory of the Flying Sword Sect.
Xuan Hao and Zu Fei both knew that the current situation would not allow for them to leave as they needed to stay and defend the sect together with Feng Chen, Wang Hu leaving would still be fine, after all, he was the weakest person currently left in the Flying Sword Sect.
The only reason why Feng Chen had let him go in the first place was because he had learnt about Xuan Hao reaching the sixth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, without knowing that there was someone almost as strong as himself to defend the sect, Feng Chen would never have allowed for Wang Hu to leave for the border to help his brother.
"Thank you, Sect Master!" Bowing deeply with a happy smile on his face, Wang Hu quickly turned around and made his way out of the pavilion after getting Feng Chen's approval.
Making his way to the border where his brother was, was the most important to him at the moment!
"So, what should we do now? There is still that demonic sect… They have gone awfully quiet after the plague appeared…" Seeing that Wang Hu had left, Zu Fei posed another problem that they would have to deal with at some point.
Hearing this, Xuan Hao fell into deep thought as he remembered the small jade that his new disciple had with him when he had found him.
From the conversation that he had managed to pick up, it was apparently something important to the demonic sect that he had taken away.
Xuan Hao had not really paid that much attention to this, as he did not really want to investigate everything about his new disciple, he could have his own secrets without him as his master trying to find out everything about him and the opportunities he got.
The current state of the demonic sect might be due to the fact that his second disciple had taken away that… Devil-Immortal Jade thing from them.
If it was really that important, they might even be trying their best to get it bac-
"Zu Fei, you are in charge of most of our internal security, right?"
"Yes, why?" Hearing the somewhat random question from Xuan Hao, Zu Fei answered truthfully as she curiously turned towards Xuan Hao and waited for him to explain.
"Have there been any spies or people from underground organisations found recently in Flying Sword City?"
"Now that you say it, we recently found a quite large information gathering organisation that was gathering information on the newer disciples of the sect, but when we arrived there, everyone had already been killed or had mysteriously disappear- Ah!
Perhaps you mean that the Demonic sect might be behind this!? But why gather information on our new disciples? Maybe it was just a distraction, and they were really gathering information on something else entirely!" Seemingly having realized the "truth" Zu Fei looked admiringly at Xuan Hao.
"So, the reason they are so quiet is because they are planning to attack us? Well, we are the closest to them and pose the biggest threat at the moment… They might try and use the chaos to get rid of us and grow stronger before the Heavenly Sky Kingdom or the other sects can respond! Damn those sly demonic cultivators, trying to attack us while two of our people have left for the border!" Glaring coldly towards the outside, Feng Chen felt his killing intent towards the demonic sect grow.
"…"
I just wanted to find out if someone were planning to go after my disciple! I swear I'm not trying to frame the demonic sect!
Smiling awkwardly as he saw the killing intent of both Feng Chen and Zu Fei, Xuan Hao did not know what to do and decided to just ignore it.
At the end of the day, the demonic sect was still their enemy, so what if they ended up hating them a little more?
