Chapter 90: Lord Kubera's Notebook

The city of Kubera was quite a legendary city in the territory of the Flying Sword Sect, with merchants from all over the Heavenly Sky Kingdom flocking to it to do trade and with a Peak Core Formation Realm expert know as Lord Kubera as backing, the city was a relatively safe place.

The reason for the city of Kubera to enjoy the level of wealth that they did was mostly due to the excellent management of the lord Kubera himself. Taking the city from a normal one and raise it to its legendary status among the merchants of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom.

Many people thought that Lord Kubera was the incarnation of the god of wealth himself and it was said his wealth was above that of many peak forces of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, but these were just rumours… In the end, nobody knew how much wealth Lord Kubera had amassed over the years.

Xuan Hao himself was also quite curious about this and decided to find out what had happened in the city of Kubera, that inevitably caused it to fall.

"Wow…" Looking down at the city below him, Xuan Hao could not help but let out a slight exclamation of surprise.

The city of Kubera indeed lived up to its name as a wealthy city with countless pagodas and other luxurious buildings spread all over the place with a giant tower like structure in the middle of it.

Even in the partially destroyed state that it was currently in, Xuan Hao could clearly see how prosperous the city had been before its fall.

"But where are all the dead bodies from the plague?" As he inspected the streets of the city, Xuan Hao could not even see a single dead body or living person, the city was eerily empty with nobody present. Dead or alive…

There was no sign of a plague having passed by and ravaged the area, it looked more like someone had fought and destroyed the city in the process, most likely the City Lord of Kubera fighting someone…

But for what had happened to all the people living in the city, Xuan Hao had no clue whatsoever.

Flying down to the centre of the city, Xuan Hao entered the main tower where the city lord would be living and entered the somewhat destroyed tower with a slightly cautious look on his face.

After he had landed on the ground, Xuan Hao had clearly felt the aura of several people in the Nascent Soul Realm still lingering around the area of the tower. No matter what had happened, the city lord had most likely fought with a group of people at the Nascent Soul Realm!

"Guess he is most likely not someone just at the peak of the Core Formation Realm… Maybe someone who went into hiding from a strong empire or something?" Sensing these auras, Xuan Hao felt a slight amount of fear as even the weakest person who had fought here was at the eighth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm!

If he was not wrong, the City Lord of Kubera should have been an extremely strong peak Nascent Soul Realm expert, if not a Half-Step Domain Lord!

As he walked further into the tower in the middle of the city, Xuan Hao grew more and more confused about what had happened.

The reason for this was quite simple, the plague!

The plague that had supposedly ravaged through the Kubera city was present in the tower, but not inside someone's body… Instead, a few dozen vials were located in the tower with the dark green ball of energy floating around in some sort of liquid.

Picking up the vial, Xuan Hao inspected it with a slight frown on his face, it seemed like whatever the city lord of Kubera was doing had most likely offended some of the people behind the plague, but the question was just what he had been researching before those people had come for him and how he was involved with the plague.

More importantly, whoever was behind the plague clearly had a strong backing and the chances of it being the Azure Sky Kingdom or the newly established Black Rose Demonic Sect was close to none.

After all, if they had someone that strong, they would most likely not need to use the plague to weaken the Heavenly Sky Kingdom in the first place…

"Hm? This is!?" Putting down the vial again, Xuan Hao looked through the entire tower and soon discovered a small notebook buried beneath the rubble of a nearby collapsed wall.

Removing some of the loose stones and other things on top of it, Xuan Hao saw the title of the notebook.

[Experimental Log #37: Plagues Created Using Plague Type Divine Energy]

"…"

Xuan Hao felt himself stopping slightly as he looked at the title of the notebook, this felt more like the logs a scientist back on earth kept when running certain experiments.

"So, the Lord of Kubera City was an Alchemist…" This was the only thing he could think of when he saw the title and the first few pages of the notebook.

Alchemists mostly worked like a form of scientist and their way of noting down things and certain other aspects were…

[Plague #127 of the Plague God Church has recently been spreading through the Heavenly Sky Kingdom, most likely the attempt of a newbie Bishop to convert the Heavenly Sky Kingdom to the faith of the Plague God and get a promotion.]

Towards the last few entries of the notebook, the former experimental data that Xuan Hao had no idea what meant, slowly turned into a diary of sorts as the Lord Kubera noted down what was happening outside in more detail.

[An Archbishop of the Church of the Plague God recently found the location of experimental site #5 and destroyed it.]

The entries into the notebook stopped here as Xuan Hao put the notebook away and prepared to hand it over to the Sect Master when he returned. Maybe the Alchemists of the sect could find out what Lord Kubera had written down in his experimental notes…

Looking around the tower, Xuan Hao let out quiet sigh as he turned to leave and return to his original task…

Whatever the plague was, it seemed like it would be way more troublesome than he had first expected…

Started playing a game called Genshin Impact and I'm now addicted, luckily for you guys I still have a stockpile left... xD

Chapter 91: Ambushed!

As Xuan Hao was making his way over to the border village where the plague outbreak had first started in the Flying Sword Sects territory, others from both the Raging Flame Sect, Spring Flower Sect and Seven Fates sect were making their way to the border village where the outbreak had started in their territory.

The first to reach his destination was an elder from the Raging Flame Sect, the reason for this was that the Raging Flame Sect itself was located quite a bit closer to the border area compared to the Flying Sword Sect or any of the other sects, so with that in mind, the elder reached the border village that had first been infected by the plague in the territory of the Raging Flame Sect.

"Hah… Why do I even need to come out and check this god forsaken village…? The plague has already mostly left the Raging Flame Sects territory by now… Why do we need to care about what happens in the central region…? Can't they deal with it themselves…" As he grumbled to himself, the elder of the Raging Flame Sect entered the village and saw the still decaying corpses of the people who had perished from the plague.

Compared to Xuan Hao's first reaction to the people who had died to the plague, the elder from the Raging Flame Sect did not really seem to care as he just waltzed directly into the village itself without caring about the dead bodies.

The elder from the Raging Flame Sect did not really care that much about the plague or finding anything that could help cure it, after all, if he had planted the plague, would he leave something that could help cure it behind?

Them going out to inspect the first infected villages was merely an attempt by the Heavenly Sky Kingdom to try and find anything that might end up helping them out of their current situation.

All of a sudden, a violent energy suddenly erupted a few meters away from the elder of the Raging Flame Sect as he was walking through the quiet village without paying too much attention to his surroundings.

"Wha-" The elder from the Raging Flame Sect was caught off guard and even with his quick reaction speed he only barely managed to dodge the surprise attack.

But this was not without any repercussions, as his left arm had been hit causing him to lose all feeling in it for a moment.

Following this, four black robed individuals showed up and surrounded him, directly launching another attack before the elder from the Raging Flame Sect could even comprehend what had just happened.

Whoosh!

Just as the four attacks were about to hit him, the elder from the Raging Flame Sect woke up from his earlier bewilderment and quickly jumped into the air in the direction of one of the black robed men.

Boom~

A large explosion soon followed as the elder of the Raging Flame Sect launched a giant ball of fire at the black robed man, exploding it just before it reached him, causing smoke and dust to fill the entire area.

The large explosion caused the divine sense of the black robed men to have a harder time locking onto the elder of the Raging Flame Sect as the elder in question quickly used the situation to speed into the distance, trying to run away before the black robed men locked onto him again.

Fumbling with a communication talisman in one hand while speeding away from the village, the elder nervously infused his qi into it as he waited for the communication talisman to light up and connect to the current Vice Sect Master of the Raging Flame Sect.

All of this happened over only a few seconds, as the black robed men soon realized what had happened and quickly chased off in the direction that the elder from the Raging Flame Sect had run.

"Elder Flame Beard, what is going on? Why are you contacting me? Did you perhaps find somet-"

"Vice Sect Master!" As a voice echoed out from the communication talisman, the elder from the Raging Flame Sect quickly interrupted him.

"W-what is it!? Why are you so anxious?" Sensing the desperation in Elder Flame Beard's voice, the Vice Sect Master quickly refocused himself and asked for an explanation.

"I have been ambushed by four black robed people at the Nascent Soul Realm and don't know for how long I can outrun them! All of them have a weird symbol one their chest, it looks lik-"

Just as the Elder Flame Beard was about to finish his explanation a powerful dark green energy shaped like a sword suddenly appeared directly in front of him, cutting him down on the spot.

"Elder Flame Beard what happened!?" The voice of the Vice Sect Master sounded out from the communication talisman as he already knew deep down that the black robed men that Elder Flame Beard had talked about most likely caught up to him.

Swish~

A small orb of light escaped from Elder Flame Beards body as it flew into the distance at a speed way faster than he had moved before.

This was his Nascent Soul that had barely managed to survive the earlier attack, now that he had lost his physical body, he had no way whatsoever to fight and his future path of cultivation had mostly been caught off unless he could somehow recreate his body or become a pure soul cultivator…

But that was easier said than done as there was not a single cultivation technique for the path of a soul cultivator in the entire Heavenly Sky Kingdom…

At least he could fly and move at a way faster speed now that he was no longer burdened by his physical body any longer.

The black robed man who had laid in ambush a little further away from the rest look at the escaping Nascent Soul and let out disgruntled noise.

"I did not expect his nascent soul to survive… Looks like we failed… At the very least he should not be considered a threat in the future." Not minding it too much, the black robed man who had ambushed Elder Flame Beard regrouped with the rest of the black robed men and soon left the village.

The act of them showing up and killing the Nascent Soul experts sent up by the four great sects of the Heavenly Sky Kingdom would mostly be a form of intimidation, even if they did not succeed like the Bishop wanted, they should have at least showed what would happen if someone dared to try and look into the plague.

"I should not be punished too badly… Right…?" Thinking this, the black robed man who failed to kill Elder Flame Beard felt a slight shiver down his spine as he remembered how ruthless the Bishop was…
