Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Closely observing the path down into the abyss below where the Black Rose Sect was most likely located, Xuan Hao managed to spot a few blind spots that he could approach from and maybe sneak past the guard stationed directly below him.

The only positive was that there was no Nascent Soul Realm expert present to guard the entrance at this point, though there was most likely one located further down…

"I will just deal with it when I get to that point…" Muttering so to himself, Xuan Hao sneakily made his way down into the abyss below.

The path down was an almost invisible staircase etched into the sides of the hole and Xuan Hao didn't even notice it when he first looked down into the gaping hole that was the entrance of the Black Rose Sect.

Thinking about it, Xuan Hao realized that there was most likely another entrance into the Black Rose Sect other than the giant hole that he was entering through.

After all, they had to transport spirit stones and other essential item such as spirit herbs inside and the giant hole on top of the Black Rose Mountain did not really seem like a great place to transport a massive amount of resources through…

As Xuan Hao thought about this, he soon managed to make his way past the guards standing on the platforms.

The guards did not seem to have noticed anything, as Xuan Hao quickly made it deeper into the abyss below.

…

"We are here! Follow me to meet the Sect Master, he will decide your fate!" Arriving in front of an enormous cave entrance located only a few miles away from the Black Rose Mountain, with members of the Black Rose Sect stationed on both sides to guard the enormous cave entrance, Chu Yang was pushed forward as the elder known as Skinling lead him towards the cave entrance.

"Elder Skinling, you manged to catch the traitor!? Colour me surprised! I thought the Sect Master would end up killing you in a few days, but it looks like you already started with your arms, haha!" As Elder Skinling and Chu Yang made their way over to the cave entrance, one of the Core Formation Experts guarding the entrance walked over with a taunting smile on his lips.

"Elder Shadow Moon…" Elder Skinling narrowed his eyes when he saw the approaching person and if he still had his arms, he would surely clench his fists in anger.

"Elder Shadow Moon, we are in a hurry to meet the Sect Master, if you could please allow us to pass…" As Elder Skinling and Elder Shadow Moon stared at each other, the other elder that had helped Elder Skinling capture Chu Yang stepped forward and meditated the situation before it got out of control.

"Fine… We are after all both from the same sect, hehe, hope you can recover your arms quickly Skinling… After all, as a demonic sect, we should not keep any useless people around!" Smiling tauntingly, Elder Shadow Moon soon made his way back to his position among the Core Formation Experts guarding the entrance.

With that out of the way, Chu Yang was soon escorted in through the cave entrance towards the location of the Black Rose Sect, or at the very least the new location of the Black Rose Sect.

Chu Yang himself had not seen the part of the sect that was located underground, at most he had heard a few rumours about the place before he managed to make his escape.

But from looking around at the younger members of the sect passing by along the way, Chu Yang could see that the entire Black Rose Sect had most likely already moved the entire sect underground.

"T-this is…!" Coming to a stop in front of a giant palace, Chu Yang felt a primordial fear inside of him as he felt the strong menacing aura radiating from the giant palace.

If he entered the palace in front of him, he would never be able to return again!

That was the feeling Chu Yang had when he looked at the palace.

Elder Skinling did not seem to mind the menacing aura that much and walked up to one of the people guarding the entrance.

Soon, the giant gate leading into the pavilion swung open as the stench of human blood wafted out into the air, causing Chu Yang to feel even more afraid as Elder Skinling almost had to push him forward into the palace.

Ah… is this the end…?

As he was pushed into the pavilion, Chu Yang glanced backwards, only to see the giant doors of the palace closing.

All he could do was walk forward with the assistance of Elder Skinling, who had taken on an extremely serious look from the moment he stepped foot inside the palace.

…

"Hm…? They are here?" Hiding behind a rock formation close to the palace, Xuan Hao watched with a slight smile as he saw his disciple enter the palace with a scared look on his face. At this point, his disciple most likely thought he was about to meet his end…

Xuan Hao also felt quite lucky as he had managed to enter the Black Rose Sect without encountering any Nascent Soul Realm Expert, but at the same time he had started to become worried… After all, the only Nascent Soul Realm Expert he could feel in the entire Black Rose Sect was the Sect Master located in the palace that his disciple had just entered…

Where were the other Nascent Soul Realm Experts from the Black Rose Sect…?

"Time to move I guess…" narrowing his eyes, Xuan Hao shook his head slightly and cast the thought to the back of his mind as he made his way over towards the palace.

The moment, Elder Skinling did what he had told him to do, he would act! If he was lucky, he might even be able to kill the Sect Master of the Black Rose Sect now that there were no other Nascent Soul Realm Experts present in the Black Rose Sect, instead of just injuring him like he had originally planned!
