Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Chapter 823 Soldier

"Senior Xu, are we going to deal with that matter now, or are we going to wait until later?" As he got up to him, Elder Scarlet Flame sneakily used his divine sense to ask this.

"This... We will wait until a later date; I still don't have a hundred percent certainty in who the traitor from the Stone Horn Sect is as of now..." The thing in question that Elder Scarlet Flame was asking about being rather obvious to Xu Bao, who had to think about the matter for a short moment before answering in a way that would not give away the fact that he had no idea about who the traitor was, nor if there even was one in the first place...

"I see... That is understandable. After all, we don't want to end up going after the wrong person. Only for the real traitor hiding inside the Stone Horn Sect to escape unharmed!" Nodding his head with a look of understanding on his face, Elder Scarlet Flame did not doubt what Xu Bao said and only felt that it was natural. Allowing Xu Bao to breathe a sigh of relief at the fact that he had managed to avoid the subject of the traitor.

Following the matter of the traitor getting thrown to the side for the time being, Xu Bao, Elder Scarlet Flame and the rest of the elders and disciples from the other independent sects all began making their way back towards their own sects once again. Feeling far safer now that that Xu Bao had returned alive and was moving alongside them again. None of them having any idea just how badly damaged his body was...

...

"How come not a single person was sent over to help us deal with the demonic cultivators still rushing in from the Frozen Wastelands? Did something big perhaps happen after we left that prevented them from sending people over... But then again, what in the world could have happened back at the capital that would result in them not being able to send anyone over...?" Back at the border between the Frozen Wasteland and the Sky Empire, one of the soldiers that had been fighting with demonic cultivators for the past few days, could not help muttering this to himself with an exhausted expression on his face.

For close to a month, he and the rest of the soldiers from the Sky Empire had been trying to block the constant stream of demonic cultivators coming from the Frozen Wastelands from rushing into the kingdom located behind them.

Although this had been to mixed degree of success due to the sheer number of demonic cultivators that came at them day and night, they had at the very least managed to prevent any stronger cultivators from rushing past them and get into the territory of the Sky Empire where they could start causing chaos.

"Now that I think about it, that Star Shattering Sect has also been a great help in cleaning up those weaker demonic cultivators that passed us..." Looking towards a group of disciples from the Star Shattering Sect not too far away from where he and his fellow soldiers were fighting against a group of powerful demonic cultivators who had just recently reached the Nascent Soul Realm by devouring some of the more powerful demonic cultivators that had died at their hands earlier, the soldier could not help feeling grateful for the fact that there was such a powerful sect located nearby.

The group in question that he was looking towards had all reached the Core Formation Realm and were busy fighting with some of the weaker demonic cultivators that made it past them. Preventing them from making it further inside the territory of the Sky Empire.

Not only that, but a little further away, a group of Nascent Soul Realm elders from the Star Shattering Sect had joined them and helped in dealing with some of the demonic cultivators in the First Demonic Transformation Realm. Relieving a large part of the pressure put on them as a result. 𝒇𝚛e𝗲𝘸e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝙚𝒍. c૦𝒎

However, the most shocking thing was not that a sect located at the border of the Sky Empire had so many powerful disciples and Nascent Soul Realm elders. Instead, it was the fact that a Domain Lord Realm Expert had appeared to help in dealing with the demonic cultivators!

Boom-boom-boom!

Even now, the soldier could not help feeling a sense of awe as he looked towards the place where his general was fighting together with three other Domain Lords. One of these Domain Lords being the Domain Lord from the Star Shattering Sect!

"Hm? Wha-"

Ptsh-!

Being distracted by his own thoughts while thinking about the Star Shattering Sect, the soldier was suddenly caught off guard as one of the demonic cultivators managed to pierce through his defence and stab him through the heart.

"Ahh-!" Rapidly retreating with a small pain-filled scream after having his heart pierced through, the soldier could not help feeling grateful that he was not someone in the Core Formation Realm. Although recovering his heart was difficult and required a long time. At the very least he did not end up dying.

Whoosh~

"Hm? Is something wrong?" About to jump forward and join the fight again, the soldier could not help showing a confused expression on his face after one of his friends stepped forward and stopped him.

"Brother, you should leave for now and recover. Now that we have the help of the Star Shattering Sect, we are more than capable of preventing any First Demonic Transformation Realm demonic cultivator from getting through! Even if one gets through, I doubt the elders from the Star Shattering Sect watching over the disciples a little further away will allow it to get far..."

"This..." Not knowing what to say after hearing what his friend said, the soldier could only gaze around at the elders from the Star Shattering Sect ensuring the safety of their disciples not too far away "I understand, I will find a place to recover..." In the end, he could only agree and leave the frontline before looking for a place to recover from his injuries.

The support of the Star Shattering Sect was truly a great thing... But at the back of his mind, the soldier could not help wondering just what had happened back in the capital city that prevented any support from showing up even after a month's time.

ραпdα Й?νê|(сòm) No matter what it was, he was sure that it should involve something extremely important figures inside the imperial family. Not only that, but it most likely also had something to do with the three religions that had been looking to stir up trouble from far before he had left the capital city together with his general to sort out the increasing number of demonic cultivators from the Frozen Wasteland.

Over the past few years, the Sky Empire has grown more and more chaotic with each passing day... Does this perhaps mean something big is going to happen soon? No matter, this is not something that a small soldier like me will be able to change. For now, I should just focus on keeping myself safe and ensuring that I stay alive....

Thinking this to himself as he sat down to recover a short distance from where the battle with the demonic cultivators was taking place, the soldier could not help feeling a shiver run down his spine before he began looking over towards the place where the disciples from the Star Shattering Sect were fighting.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he could not understand where such a powerful sect had appeared from. Not just that, but also the fact that this sect had decided to stay at the border of the Sky Empire instead of moving to the core region of the Sky Empire.

Given the fact that the Star Shattering Sect had a Domain Lord Realm Expert guarding it, he understood that they had more than enough strength to move into the core region of the Sky Empire where the resources were far more abundant and there were far more opportunities present!

Not only that, but the soldier had also overheard some of the disciples talking about a Grand Elder and a Sect Master that should also have reached the Domain Lord Realm. Making him even more confused as to why he had never heard about the Star Shattering Sect before.

Just the fact that the sect had three Domain Lords should be more than enough for it to become well known across the entire Sky Empire.

"Is the appearance of this Star Shattering Sect perhaps going to affect the current Sky Empire?" Letting his thoughts wander as he was recovering, the soldier could not help muttering this to himself before he slowly closed both of his eyes to fully focus on recovering as fast as possible without getting distracted by all the fighting happening around him.
