" Hah… I didn't expect for there to be so many Core Formation experts present in the Flying Sword City! Looks like it really was a trap!" Glancing fearfully behind him as he continued moving at a fast speed, Elder Skinling felt like he had just barely escaped from the grasp of death.
"I might have lost quite a bit, but in the end, we managed to catch that traitor! Now all I have to do is return to the sect and slowly recover and then I should be fine again in a few years' time…" Looking down at the place that his arms were supposed to be, Elder Skinling could still feel the pain from utilizing the blood sacrifice technique earlier.
For him to be able to erupt with such strength and block the attack of Feng Chen for a moment while only being at the Core Formation Realm, a certain price had to be paid.
Elder Skinling had ended up shattering part of his core located at the centre of his dantian and lost both his arms to get away, but in the end, Elder Skinling had managed to get away with his life!
"Now I will just have to relocate and meet up with that cowardly guy…" Thinking about the other elder who had run away just as planned without incurring any injuries in the process, Elder Skinling felt a bit of resentment whenever he looked at the injuries that he had sustained.
With that, Elder Skinling made his way towards a mountain located on the edges of the Flying Sword Sects territory, this was the place that both of them had agreed to meet up after getting away from the Flying Sword Sect and heading back to the sect again together.

Further away from where Elder Skinling was, Chu Yang was currently feeling extremely scared as he felt himself being carried away by an elderly man, that he could only guess was a member of his former sect.
Things had happened way too fast for him to even react and before he knew it, he could see the Flying Sword City slowly disappearing into the distance as he got farther and farther away.
At first, he had tried to struggle free, but after having no success, he decided to just give up and wait for an opportunity.
This went on for another few hours before his kidnapper finally came to a stop and threw him down on the ground.
"Hah, this should be far enough!" Looking around cautiously, the kidnapper in question let out a sigh of relief before turning to look at Chu Yang with a malicious smile slowly appearing.
"Now that we are alone little traitor, where did you keep that Devil-Immortal Jade? Hand it over now and I might be able to help you have a less painful death when we return to the sect… But I can't promise that the Sect Master will keep it, hehe!" Laughing at Chu Yang's fate, the elder stretched out his hand, expecting Chu Yang to hand over the Devil-Immortal Jade.
"…" Chu Yang suddenly felt himself starting to sweat a lot as he grew even more nervous compared to before.
He did not have the Devil-Immortal Jade on him! Why would he bring something like that with him in the first place? It was way safer to just let it stay in his room inside of the Flying Sword Sect!
"Hm? Something wrong? Ah, perhaps you want to hand it over to the Sect Master personally in hopes that he would spare you? Hehe, I will allow you to hold this little hope, who knows? Maybe he will let you the sect again!" Not noticing how nervous Chu Yang was at the moment, the elder thought that he had hit the mark with his conclusion and just laughed it off before taking out a communication talisman and contacting Elder Skinling.
…
A few hundred meters in the air above Chu Yang and the elder from the demonic sect, Xuan Hao was closely keeping an eye on the situation happening down below.
Earlier when he had discovered the two demonic sect elders, he had first thought about getting rid of them, but upon further contemplation, Xuan Hao realized that they would most likely just come again in the future and if he were not present, his disciple might be kidnapped for real…
So, with that in mind, Xuan Hao decided on a plan to deal with the now Demonic Black Rose Sect once and for all or at the very least prevent them from coming to kidnap his disciple again.
This plan required Chu Yang to hand over the Devil-Immortal Jade to the Demonic Black Rose Sect, it was also for this reason that Xuan Hao had secretly taken away the Devil-Immortal Jade from his room.
With a wave of his hand, Xuan Hao carefully threw out the Devil-Immortal Jade as it gently landed in front of the surprised Chu Yang, who quickly picked it up and looked around himself in confusion.
"Now for the next part… I will have to look like a demonic cultivator, but how would I disguise myself as one and enter the Black Rose Sect…?" Thinking for a bit, Xuan Hao suddenly smiled slyly as he sensed a certain demonic cultivator approaching from the distance, the demonic cultivator guarding Chu Yang had yet to discover him as he was still quite far away, but Xuan Hao easily locked onto him.
Xuan Hao had told Feng Chen to let him get away because he had originally wanted for him to keep the other demonic cultivator in check and prevent him from killing the person, they were supposed to capture and bring back along the way… They were after all demonic cultivators and their reputation was not really that great…
Xuan Hao had felt that the two of them would be able to keep each other in check and ensure that nothing bad would happen to Chu Yang along the way, but it had seemed that his worries were for nothing, as the elder in question did not seem to care about killing the traitor of the sect, Chu Yang.
With that in mind Xuan Hao quickly came up with a new idea and soon appeared directly in front of Elder Skinling, shocking the living daylight out of him in the process.
"Hello, I might have great opportunity for you and the future of your sect…" Smiling brightly, Xuan Hao started talking to Elder Skinling, who at first was still fearful of Xuan Hao, but slowly started growing more and more excited upon listing to what Xuan Hao said.
"So, do we have a deal…?" Finished presenting his plan, Xuan Hao looked over and saw Elder Skinling eagerly nodding his head in agreement.
"Great! Just do as I told you and the Black Rose Sect will surely have a bright future…" Saying this, Xuan Hao quickly ascended into the sky and disappeared before Elder Skinling managed to react.
