Chapter 1416 Sneaking Through the Star Shattering Sect's Territory (3)
"Hm? He finally reached the Iron Sky Kingdom?"
The moment that the demonic cultivator stepped inside the Iron Sky Kingdom, Xuan Hao instantly noticed him, as the formation guarding the kingdom began to operate automatically to kill off the invading demonic cultivator.
Luckily, given that he wasn't too far away and had already been granted the ability to control the formation by Yi Min earlier on, he managed to easily stop the formation from activating to kill the demonic cultivator. After all, he had no intention of stopping him from leaving the territory of the Star Shattering Sect. Especially so considering that it might be dangerous for him to do anything against this demonic cultivator considering his background and the kind of protective measures he might be in possession of.
Even with his cultivation realm at the Late Stage of the Dao Seed Realm, he had no intention of trying his luck in finding out just how strong the current demonic cultivator in control of the Frozen Wastelands was when it came to protecting the young demonic cultivator over such a long distance.
More importantly, he had no intention of making the Star Shattering Sect a target in the eyes of the demonic cultivators of the Frozen Wastelands.
Instead of that, he was far more interested in what this demonic cultivator might be up to, as he had even specially assigned the rabbit demon beast to secretly follow him.
Although it did seem like the other party had noticed the rabbit demon beast following behind him at this point in time, it didn't really matter that much, as it was clear that he didn't have any way of dealing with the rabbit demon beast. Not even knowing the fact that it was a demon beast and not a cultivator who was secretly following him from behind.
Though this did make it harder for the rabbit demon beast to gather any useful information from the young demonic cultivator, it did manage to learn that the young demonic cultivator thought that the Star Shattering Sect was an ancient hidden sect. Even believing that the rabbit demon beast was someone who had been dispatched by the sect to watch over him and ensure that he didn't cause any problems inside the sect's territory.
Even though it wasn't entirely wrong, as the rabbit demon beast had been sent by the Star Shattering Sect to keep an eye on him, he was wrong about the Star Shattering Sect being a hidden ancient sect that just happened to be hiding in this small part of the Blue Sea Empire's vast territory outside of the core region of the continent.
Outside of that, he was also wrong about the reason why the rabbit demon beast was silently following him.
Although... Thinking about it, Xuan Hao felt like it might be a good thing to have the rabbit demon beast stop following the young demonic cultivator after he left the territory of the sect.
So, with that in mind, the rabbit demon beast dutifully followed the young demonic cultivator all the way to the borders of the Iron Sky Kingdom before decisively turning around and leaving the moment his feet landed on the ground outside the borders of the Iron Sky kingdom. Wasting no time as it rushed back in the direction of the Star Shattering Sect to get its promised reward for a job well done.
Ensuring that it made a stop at the Iron Sky Kingdom's capital along the way to inform the few of its subordinates there to prepare themselves for its return. Making extra sure that they would have a place ready for it to enjoy its new spirit stones when it got back to guarding the place.
...
"Indeed... It's as I thought, the one secretly following me disappeared the moment I stepped outside the Iron Sky Kingdom. Not just that, but the speed of that person is definitely far above that of the Soul Ascension Realm!"
At the same time that the rabbit demon beast was rushing back towards the Star Shattering Sect with all of its strength, the young demonic cultivator looked back in the direction of the Iron Sky Kingdom with a somewhat troubled expression on his face as he said this.
What had happened just now essentially confirmed the fact that the Star Shattering Sect should be one of those terrifying hidden ancient sects.
Be it the fact that the one following him had reached the Earth Immortal Realm (Dao Seed Realm), yet had not attacked him, a demonic cultivator or the fact that this unknown sect had just mysteriously risen to prominence in a period that could barely considered a secluded retreat for a Soul Ascension Realm cultivator.
All of this clearly pointed towards the existence of a hidden ancient sect that should have just recently emerged in the world once again.
Although this was an extremely rare occurrence, he had read and heard about things like that happening in the past and it was normally when those ancient hidden sects wanted to recruit more disciples and decided to do so through expanding their influence in the world for a few hundred years before closing off to the outside world again.
Given the area occupied by the Star Shattering Sect and the strength they had shown so far, the young demonic cultivator felt that it all matched the style of ancient hidden sects when recruiting disciples, as they would never expand too much and would try to keep things managed on a relatively small scale.
Of course, this was also the time when these ancient hidden sects were the most dangerous, as it was far easier than normal to accidentally end up offending them.
Luckily, he had learnt about this ahead of time and should be able to warn his father about it in the future to prevent any problems when it came to invading and destroying the Blue Sea Empire. After all, an ancient hidden sect could easily change the course of battle...
