Chapter 21: Sneaking by the Raging Fla Sect Outpost
The Burning Mountain Range was not a mountain range that was burning in the literal sense of the word but was instead a long mountain range that had a lot of volcanos present in it. Due to this, it slowly beca know as the burning mountain range. The burning hot environnt that most of the mountain range was in didn't help in slightest.
Other than that, a lot of fire related herbs grew in it, the Infernal heart Grass was one of them.
From Mortal Rank Herbs all the way up to Mystic Rank Herbs that only King Realm cultivators used. All of them could be found inside the Burning Mountain Range, though finding sothing like a Mystic Rank herb was not sothing Xuan Hao expected to find.
After all, most herb were defended by a demon beast at around the sa stage. aning a Mystic Rank Herb would have a King Realm demon beast defending it… Not sothing that Xuan Hao could deal with at the mont.
Xuan Hao ca to the entrance of the Burning Mountain Range where the Raging Fla Sect had set out an outpost. From what he knew, there would always be a Nascent Soul expert present, so as to ensure that nobody entered the Burning Mountain Range without them knowing.
The problem for Xuan Hao was how to evade the divine sense of the Nascent Soul Realm expert of the Raging Fla Sect.
But why not just enter the Burning Mountain Range from another neighbouring kingdom?
That would be even more impossible, as the imperial families of a kingdom normally station Nascent Soul experts all around the borders of their kingdom, so as to make sure nobody sneaks in without them knowing.
If he were only at the Core Formation Realm maybe it would work, as the Nascent Soul experts did not pay attention to soone who was below the Nascent Soul Realm.
Afterall, to a Nascent Soul expert, how much trouble could a re Core Formation expert bring to an entire kingdom with dozens of Nascent Soul experts?
Xuan Hao really wished that he had learnt so form of concealnt technique at the mont, but there was nothing to do.
For now, he decided to just try his luck and sneak in.
Flying through the air, Xuan Hao flew at the edge of the border as he quickly made his way towards the Burning Mountain Range. Hoping that the Nascent Soul Realm Elder from the Raging Fla Sect was not paying attention.
Sadly, things never go the way you want them to, and a divine sense swept out from the outpost set up by the Raging Fla Sect. heading directly in the direction where Xuan Hao was flying along.
Xuan Hao sensed the change and looked towards the outpost as he started to swear quietly at his fantastic luck, if the elder from the Raging Fla Sect discovered him, a fight would most certainly erupt. This in turn would attract the other Nascent Soul experts from the Raging Fla Sect.
Going 8 vs 1? Not really sothing Xuan Hao wanted to experience at the mont…
"ARGH!"
Just as Xuan Hao prepared himself to forgo stealth and go full speed towards the Burning Mountain Range, a loud scream echoed through the surroundings as an injured man ran full speed in the direction of the border.
The divine sense from the Raging Fla Sect outpost focused directly on the man and soon an elderly man appeared in front of him.
"Hmph, think you can just run away after offending the Raging Fla Sect?" The arrogant elderly man sneered as his lips curled up in a contemptuous smile.
"P-please, I-I didn't know- "
Before the man even managed to finish his sentence, a quick flash appeared as the man's head rolled to the ground. His eyes still open, clearly not expecting to suddenly die.
"Hmph, why would I waste ti speaking to trash like you?"
Picking up a purse around the now dead man's belt, the arrogant elderly man soon disappeared back towards the outpost.
It was almost like nothing had even happened. Xuan Hao bet that if it were not for the now dead body on the ground, nobody would know that sobody just died here.
"Indeed, the Raging Fla Sect, they are as ruthless as rumoured… Thankfully that elderly man did not find …"
Letting out a sigh of relief, Xuan Hao looked cautiously in the direction that the elderly man had disappeared into.
That elderly man was dangerous and from what Xuan Hao sensed, he was at the fifth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm! Even with his True Sword Intent, Xuan Hao could at most fight equally with him.
Maybe in a longer fight he would win, but by then the other Nascent Soul experts from the Raging Fla Sect would have arrived.
"Hah, I better get going before I get found…" Casting a glance at the dead body one last ti, Xuan Hao began moving towards the Burning Mountain Range with increased speed.
Xuan Hao spent the next 1 hour cautiously moving towards the Burning Mountain Range, it was only after he saw the towering mountains in front of him that he finally let out a sigh of relief.
At the foot of one mountain was a small city, the city itself was mostly used by explorers who ca to enter the Burning Mountain Range and try their luck and businesses buying the materials and rare herbs brought back by the explorers. Most of which was owed directly by the Raging Fla Sect.
Even though that was the case, the strongest person was only at the Core Formation Realm and was not sothing Xuan Hao needed to be careful about. After all, a Core Formation realm expert would never be able to sense a Nascent Soul expert if he did not wish to show off his cultivation.
"For now, I will try and see if there is any information regarding the location of the Infernal Heart Grass."
Landing a little away from the city, Xuan Hao took out a small bag with clothes and quickly changed into sothing less conspicuous. The robe he was wearing before was the main core elder robe of the Flying Sword Sect…
Thinking back, maybe he should not walk into enemy territory with the robe of a core elder from the Flying Sword Sect on…
Facepalming himself at how stupid he was, Xuan Hao quickly put away the brilliant and extrely colourful core elder robe and walked towards the city.
