At the same time that Xuan Hao was helping Chi Hu's old friend with making a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, his two disciples had managed to finish their first sect mission. Dealing with the bandit group before making their way towards the River Sect to gather the Pure Heart Spirit Grass at the Pure Heart Lake.
Even if both Chu Yang and Qing Yi had somewhat come to know about the current situation of the River Sect, it was not something they could get involved in at their cultivation realm. The most they could do, was complete the sect mission before making their way back to the Flying Sword Sect and informing them.
Letting the Flying Sword Sect decide how they would deal with those sects…
"Are you going to return to the River Sect, or will you be following us to the Pure Heart Lake?"
