"Elder Xuan!" Seeing Xuan Hao appearing in front of him, Elder Song let out a sigh of relief as he called out to him.
"Elder Song, it's been a while since we last saw each other, a pity that the circumstance is not optimal for a meeting…" Looking at the relieved expression on Elder Song's aged face, Xuan Hao felt that it was a pity that he could not talk more with Elder Song.
From past interactions with Elder Song, Xuan Hao knew that both of them had quite a bit in when it came to how they spent their time… Both training disciples or cultivating to improve… Maybe he should find some free time to do something new, like hanging out with the other elders of the sect or maybe even try to learn a profession.
If things came to it, he could also find the library where the Flying Sword Sects records were stored and take a look to learn more about this world and what was outside the Heavenly Sky Kingdom's territory.
"Elder Xuan, Vice Sect Master Zu Fei is out of control currently! At this rate she will end up destroying a large part of the sect before she calms down again. The only positive thing about all this is the fact that the Sect Master's friend does not seem to hold it against us… If that were not the case, Zu Fei would have already been beaten by this point considering their difference in strength." Talking up to this point, Elder Song had a helpless look on his face whenever he mentioned Zu Fei.
"I understand Elder Song, I will go up there and see if I can help settle the situation between the two of them before it escalates further…"
"Thank you, Elder Xuan, I will leave dealing with Vice Sect Master Zu Fei to you! In the meantime, I will go over and get the servant quarters ready for cleaning up this mess…" With that, Elder Song soon disappeared into the distance as Xuan Hao was left alone at the bottom of the Vice Sect Master's Mountain Peak.
The constant explosion sounds echoing out from above was the only thing left to accompany him as Xuan Hao made his way up the mountain.
…
"Don't you think that this is enough Zu Fei? You have already destroyed your own pavilion and if you continue like this, you will end up causing the damage to reach the few dwellings nearby…" Shu Yao still looked as relaxed as she had been beforehand as she calmly blocked all the attacks Zu Fei threw at her.
"Hmph!" Zu Fei did not answer as she instead launched another attack towards Shu Yao, but this time around she no longer stood in the same place to launch sword attacks formed by her sword qi. Instead, she finally drew the sword in the scabbard hanging off a small string attached to her robe and rushed over to Shu Yao and slashed down with all her might as the entire mountain peak trembled under the sword slash.
The sword slash seemed to cover the entire mountain peak, leaving Shu Yao with no place to dodge the incoming attack.
"Hah… You really never learn, do you? Still as aggressive as ever… This has already dragged on for long enough, it's time to end it!" Not moved by the incoming sword slash, Shu Yao moved her hand into the sleeve of her robe and pulled out a small talisman that she threw in the direction of Zu Fei was charging at her from.
The giant lotus flower disappeared the moment Shu Yao threw out the small talisman, allowing Zu Fei to get closer, but it was at this moment that the sword in Zu Fei's hand collided with the small talisman thrown out by Shu Yao.
Bzzzzt~
"Wha-" Before Zu Fei managed to react in time, the small talisman erupted into a sea of lightning.
By the time Zu Fei wanted to defend herself it was already too late as the sea of lightning easily broke apart her sword slash and directly invaded her body without allowing her to resist in the slightest.
As the lightning coursed through her body, Zu Fei felt her cultivation being sealed up without her being able to stop it from happening. All she could do was stare hatefully in the direction of Shu Yao as her cultivation was sealed up.
"Now you won't be able to cause any more trouble. Maybe you will be able to calm down like this…?" Walking over to Zu Fei, Shu Yao retrieved the lightning sea that had invaded Zu Fei's body as the lightning left Zu Fei's body and returned to Shu Yao's hand in the form of the small talisman from earlier that she quickly put back into the sleeve of her robe.
"I see that I arrived at the right time, though it seems like you already managed to stop Zu Fei from causing any further destruction…" As Zu Fei was about to say something in response to Shu Yao, Xuan Hao had finally made his way up the mountain peak as he was greeted by the sight of a pouting Zu Fei sitting on the ground with a tall mature looking woman in her late twenties looking like a elder sister in the process of scolding her younger sister.
"Elder Xuan! You have to help me! This 'person' sealed my cultivation and w-"
"Are you sure you want to continue this? Zu Fei?" Just as Zu Fei was about to ask for help, Shu Yao interrupted her and walked over to greet Xuan Hao.
"You must be Elder Xuan, Fengfeng told me a lot about you."
"The pleasure is mine; how should I address you miss…?"
"Haha, no need to call me miss… My name is Shu Yao, but you can feel free to call me sister Yao if you want~" Smiling brightly, Shu Yao decided to tease Xuan Hao a bit, but it was to no avail as Xuan Hao was more focused on something entirely different at the moment.
This Shu Yao… She is at the Ninth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm!? Where did the Sect Master get such a strong friend…?
From what he knew, Shu Yao was from the Spring Flower Sect. Outside of that, Xuan Hao knew nothing about her.
But from what he knew about the Spring Flower Sect, they did not have any Ninth Stage Nascent Soul Realm Expert at the moment!
