Chapter 262 - Showing Up Late...

Taking on last look down at the place that the secret observation post had been, Xuan Hao flew back towards the Flying Sword Sect after making sure that the people at the secret observation post had left.

After five days, Shu Yao should have returned to the Flying Sword Sect with some of the elders from her sect and be ready to move out against the Raging Flame Sect.

"I wonder what we should do with their territory after defeating the Raging Flame Sect…"

Shaking his head as he thought about this, Xuan Hao decided that he would not interfere with those sorts of things and just leave them to the Sect Master and Elder Song.

"Ah! I wonder if Elder Song finished stabilizing his cultivation base and met with Feng Chen already… I really should have gone there to see his expression when he found out that Elder Song had broken through and reached the Nascent Soul Realm…"

Spreading out his divine sense before locking onto the location of Feng Chen, Xuan Hao could not help but think about how Feng Chen would react after finding out about Elder Song becoming a Nascent Soul Realm Expert.

The Flying Sword Sect was functioning normally and during his flight over towards Feng Chen, Xuan Hao managed to spot his first disciple, Qing Yi, making her way towards the Alchemy Hall while holding a large book in both of her hands.

"Guess I will go and see how she is doing."

Whoosh~

Disappearing from the spot he was in; Xuan Hao appeared a few meters away from Qing Yi before making his way over towards her.

"Master?"

Suddenly seeing her master appear in front of her caused Qing Yi to blink both her eyes in confusion before calling out hesitantly.

"Yes! How are you doing Qing Yi? Are you perhaps going to the Alchemy Hall…?"

"Yes, I heard that a unique alchemist that you recommend teaching there for the next few months appeared. I never knew that you also knew about alchemy, master…"

Listening to what Qing Yi said, Xuan Hao felt a bit confused upon hearing what she said.

Since when did he recommend anyone to teach alchemy at the Alchemy Hall? How come he never knew anything about that?

"Hm? A unique alchemist I recommend for the Alchemy Hall… Did you happen to get his name?"

"Yeah, if I'm not wrong, his name was Peng Yun… I wanted to learn from him as well before the alchemy competition and see if I can pick up any new ways to make pills and potions from him! By the way, master, could you also teach me alchemy in the future…?"

"Ah, sure, I can teach you a few things after you finish learning from Peng Yun."

Realizing that the alchemist in question was Peng Yun, Xuan Hao no longer thought about it. From what he knew, it was most likely Elder Song who arranged that sort of position for him. Not that it mattered as long as he helped increase the strength of the Flying Sword Sect's alchemists…

On another note, it seemed like Qing Yi thought he knew alchemy because of this. Not that he didn't after getting the systems help.

This was also the reason why he had readily accepted Qing Yi's request to teach her in the future.

The reason why he would do so after she finished learning from Peng Yun, was because he would have to leave again soon to deal with the Raging Flame Sect, he could not really teach her about alchemy when he was not present in the sect…

"Thank you master! I will make sure to learn everything I can from Alchemist Peng Yun!"

Smiling from ear to ear after hearing her master agree to teach her, Qing Yi could not wait to meet Peng Yun and begin learning from him, so she could quickly begin to spend some more time with her master!

"You can just go ahead and enter the Alchemy Hall; I just came to say hello because I spotted you on my way to Feng Chen."

"Okay, bye master!"

Nodding her head after hearing what Xuan Hao said, Qing Yi did not want to hold up her master for any longer after hearing he was on his way to meet the Sect Master.

"See you soon, Qing Yi."

Waving his hand, Xuan Hao watched as Qing Yi disappeared inside the Alchemy Hall before turning to look over in the direction of the Sect Master's pavilion.

Currently, he could feel the presence of several different Nascent Soul Realm Expert and most of them were unfamiliar to him.

Among them, Xuan Hao could feel Feng Chen and Shu Yao, along with the two Wang brothers, Zu Fei and finally Elder Song… It seemed like Chi Hu was the only Nascent Soul Realm Expert in the Flying Sword Sect that was not present.

"Looks like Chi Hu was put in charge of guarding the area surrounding the Flying Sword Sect… Feng Chen should already know about him by now."

Picking up the presence of Chi Hu at the edge of his divine sense a few miles away from the Flying Sword Sect, Xuan Hao easily deduced the reason for him not having gathered together with the rest of the Nascent Soul Realm Experts on the Sect Master's Mountain.

In total, Xuan Hao felt the presence of 10 Nascent Soul Experts! Five from the Flying Sword Sect and another five from the Spring Flower Sect, Xuan Hao knew that the Spring Flower Sect had more people in the Nascent Soul Realm, but in the end, someone would still have to stay behind and defend their sect.

Five Nascent Soul Realm Experts showing up from the Spring Flower Sect was already more than enough to show how strong the Spring Flower Sect was.

"But why are they all doing nothing and… Are they perhaps waiting for me…?"

Realizing that the entire upper echelons of both the Flying Sword Sect and Spring Flower Sect had gathered together to wait for him, caused Xuan Hao to feel no small amount of embarrassment.

"The communication talismans are already working again… Why did Feng Chen not just contact me and inform me that the people from the Spring Flower Sect arrived…?"

Muttering this to himself as he put the blame of arriving late over at Feng Chen, Xuan Hao made his way towards the top of the Sect Master's Mountain.
