Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

”It’s in the possession of a Core Elder!? How are we supposed to get the Devil-Immortal Jade back in time before the Sect Master’s deadline runs out!? How did that Chu Yang even manage to take a Core Elder as his master in the first place!?”

As the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master of the Flying Sword Sect felt their killing intent towards the demonic sect grow after learning about their ”plot” against them, a certain skinny elder from the demonic sect in question was currently panicking at the fact that he might not get to see their Devil-Immortal Jade ever again.

Recently he had just found out about where Chu Yang was and had even prepared to go personally to try and catch him, but that was only under the circumstance that he had become an ordinary disciple of the Flying Sword Sect!

At most he would be able to wait outside the sect in the Flying Sword City for him to exit and grab him at that point before running away.

Having a Core Elder as a master was a completely different situation! Most of the time, the sect would likely always have an inner elder shadow them when they went outside to ensure their safety!

No matter what, an inner elder of the Flying Sword Sect was still considered someone strong at the late stages or even the peak of the Core Formation Realm! That was the same as himself! How was he going to snatch Chu Yang and get away with such a person guarding him from the shadows!?

That was also not considering that the Core Elder in question would most likely know about it almost immediately and rushing from the Flying Sword Sect to the Flying Sword City would not take more than a few seconds for someone like that, so even if he succeeded, he would still have to deal with a Nascent Soul expert hunting him down…

”Elder Skinling… how are we going to get the Devil-Immortal Jade back from that traitor’s hands…? We have already made sure that the Flying Sword Sect would not be able to track us anymore, but we have also lost quite a bit of the intelligence network that we set up inside of the Flying Sword City in the process…

But I think it will not take long for them to catch on, at that point we definitely won’t be able to make a move any longer!” Another elder walked over and told the skinny elder with an extremely anxious look on his face.

He was in the same boat as Elder Skinling and would most likely end up getting punished by the Sect Master if they did not manage to get the Devil-Immortal Jade back as well!ℯ

”I know! Let me just think for a moment! There has to be a way… Maybe we could have one hold up the person that shadows Chu Yang and the other person can take him and run away, while one of us holds off the guard. After that both of should be able to retreat before the Nascent Soul Realm expert notices!” A bright light shone in Elder Skinling’s eyes as he thought about this, even if the plan was flawed, at the very least they had a chance!

”But who would stay behind and hold back the person in the shadows…? That person will most definitely be at greater risk compared to the one that will be going for Chu Yang…” The other elder asked with a slightly raised eyebrow, clearly not wanting to be the one who had to stay behind and risk having to deal with an angry Nascent Soul Realm expert.

”I will do it! If this does not work, I will end up getting killed off by the Sect Master anyway! All I need for you to do is grab that kid and run, while I hold back the person who should be shadowing him.” Understanding the elder’s concerns, Elder Skinling answered his worries with malicious look on his face.

No matter what, he did not really want to do it, but he had to… If he did not, the other elder would most likely not want to help him and just take the punishment of the Sect Master.

The other elder was after all, not the one who was tasked with getting it back, the Sect Master should at most injure him or demote him in his anger… Not kill him!

Elder Skinling on the other hand did not have such a bright outcome waiting for him if he ended up failing to get back the Devil-Immortal Jade.

”Great! Then we should leave for the Flying Sword City immediately and prepare!” Smiling a bit to himself upon hearing elder Skinling agree to take on the most dangerous part of the job, the other elder agreed immediately.

Both of them were at the peak of the Core Formation Realm and ever since becoming demonic cultivators, they had both increased to a point that they could be considered to be half-step Nascent Soul Realm in strength.

Even someone in the Nascent Soul Realm would find it quite difficult to catch up to them if they managed to get a head start.

Demonic cultivators were also physically stronger compared to normal cultivators and this in turn allowed them to be faster and have a better endurance than most on a similar level.

Elder Skinling and the other elder from the demonic sect, the Black Rose Sect, could be considered to have the same speed as a stage one Nascent Soul Realm expert, so they did not really think that their lives would be in too much danger after getting out of the Flying Sword City.

No matter what, they still had to consider that the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master was both stronger and faster than them, if one of them acted they would not even know how they died!

The only thing that ensured them at the moment was that the Sect Master and Vice Sect Master would not dare to go too far away from the Flying Sword Sect in case someone from the Raging Flame Sect or others lurked nearby to ambush them while one of the two were gone.

This was especially true with the recent information they got that showed two of the Core Elders had already left to help out in the war with the Azure Sky Kingdom at the border.
