Chapter 160 - 160: 160: Two Years Later
He Song had 9,950 spirit stones in hand.
The other party had 50 spirit stones.
Everyone was quite satisfied with the result.
After the transaction, He Song, just like before, spent ten spirit stones to enter a guesthouse in the Immortal Pavilion.
He then changed his appearance and cleansed his spirit power before diving underground and heading towards his temporary base tens of miles away.
After staying at his temporary base for two days, tens of miles away from the Immortal Pavilion.
Seeing no one pursuing him,
He Song finally removed the formation and headed back to the Thick Earth Sect.
This time, he had gained a lot from leaving the sect.
It was better to return to the sect as soon as possible to convert his gains into his own strength.
Soon enough,
He Song returned to the Thick Earth Sect.
However, before he could start his seclusive cultivation, a sound-transmitting paper crane came flying from the horizon, pushing his plan to quickly break through the ninth-tier Qi Refining stage further down the line.
Thick Earth Sect,
Within the small courtyards where the outer disciples lived,
A sound-transmitting paper crane fell in front of He Song as soon as he returned to the sect.
Releasing his spirit Qi,
He Song looked at the paper when it turned into a thin piece of paper in his hand after the sparkling light around the paper crane disappeared.
“Mr. He, I’m afraid there will be trouble at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion. I’ve already left the Pavilion and am heading towards Green Wall
Immortal City.”
“If you have friends or relatives in the Pavilion, I hope you can make preparations early.”
“For over a decade, the battle between Green Wall Immortal City Law Enforcement Team and evil cultivators still hasn’t stopped, but it has quieted down a bit in recent years.”
“However, several years ago, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.”
“This time, the evil cultivators are coming in force, not like the small skirmishes in the past. Having observed them for a few years, I always feel a sense of unease.”
“I had no choice but to leave Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion temporarily and head to Green Wall Immortal City for refuge.”
“As for you, Mr. He, you are now a disciple of the Thick Earth Sect and safe. But if you still have any friends or relatives at the Pavilion, I advise you to make early preparations. ”
“Zhao Lin.”
After scanning the lines of text on the paper, He Song, who was originally about to start his cultivation, furrowed his brows at the moment.
Trouble at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion?
His friends or relatives at the Pavilion?
Did he still have friends or relatives at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion?
With such thoughts in his mind, He Song suddenly visualized the image of a little girl.
A moment of clarity flashed in his eyes, He Song instantly understood the purpose of Zhao Lin’s sound transmission.
Zhao Lin knew about the relationship between He Song and Su Yan. Although there was no close bond between He Song and Su Yan,
Due to Su Yan’s pure feelings for He Song when she was little,
And later, after being awakened by Su Yan, He Song abandoned the idea of joining the Thick Earth Sect as a genius.
Therefore. He Song’s concern for Su Yan was a little more than his concern for others.
This time, Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion might be in danger, and Zhao Lin chose to leave the Pavilion and go to Green Wall Immortal City for refuge.
He probably wanted to do He Song a favor, hoping that He Song would remember his kindness.
However ,
He Song shook his head and chuckled at the paper in his hand.
Zhao Lin might be his good friend, but he didn’t know He Song as well as Meng Guan and Wei Fan.
If it was Wei Fan or Meng Guan,
When faced with such a situation, they wouldn’t tell He Song to prepare early.
Instead, they would tell He Song to inform Su Yan to run as soon as possible.
Make early preparations?
What preparations would he make?
Would he personally go tens of thousands of miles to Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, take Su Yan to Green Wall Immortal City, or even take her directly to the Thick Earth Sect?
He was thinking too much.
Now that he had received this news,
The most he could do was to send a Sound Transmission Amulet to inform Su Yan about it, so that she could leave the Pavilion and go to Green Wall Immortal City for refuge.
As for whether his Sound Transmission Amulet would have any effect,
And whether Su Yan would listen to him and immediately head to Green Wall Immortal City,
That was none of He Song’s concern.
Information like this could save lives.
By informing Su Yan, He Song would have already repaid her kindness for awakening him back in the day.. As for what happened after that,
It would depend on fate.
After all, He Song had done everything he could.
If Su Yan didn’t listen, there was nothing He Song could do to personally rescue her.
Anyway, his debt of gratitude had been fully repaid.
From now on, the two of them might never see each other again.
In such a situation, what would happen to Su Yan in the future no longer had much to do with He Song.
As for the authenticity of this news,
Given Zhao Lin’s prudence, He Song believed it was most likely true.
When feeling threatened, Zhao Lin would be able to abandon everything and quickly flee from danger, just like He Song.
If He Song hadn’t been brought into the Thick Earth Sect by Meng Guan,
If he still lived in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion,
He Song would have been the first to run away, not Zhao Lin.
He Song did have some understanding of Zhao Lin’s caution.
Back then, when the law enforcement team from Green Wall Immortal City arrived, they both ran away together.
At that time, after He Song’s warning, Zhao Lin didn’t hesitate to flee.
Zhao Lin’s caution and the truthfulness of this news were beyond doubt.
Picking up a random piece of paper,
He Song’s fingertips surged with spirit power, and he quickly wrote several lines on it.
“Thank you for informing me, Mr. Zhao. Among my friends in Bamboo
you.
“As for Su Yan, I will also notify her.”
“Now that Mr. Zhao has already left, there is no need for me to worry.” “Mr. Zhao, please be careful on the road, and have a smooth journey.”
“He Song.”
As the words appeared, He Song immediately released his spirit power.
The paper in his hand instantly turned into a sound -transmitting paper crane, which swiftly flew in the direction of Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
He Song still needed to express his gratitude to Zhao Lin for sending him a Sound Transmission Amulet, especially considering the possible consequences Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion might face.
However, after doing all this, He Song thought for a moment and another piece of paper appeared in his hand.
Since he had already thanked Zhao Lin, and had mentioned that he would notify Su Yan at this time in his reply letter to Zhao Lin, He Song naturally wouldn’t go back on his word.
As soon as the paper appeared, He Song’s fingertips surged with spirit power.
As the spirit power emerged at his fingertips, it quickly left rows of words on the paper in He Song’s hand.
“Su Yan, Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion might be in danger, so it is best to go to Green Wall Immortal City to avoid disaster.”
“He Song.”
As the words appeared on the paper, He Song released his spirit power again.
Suddenly, another sound-transmitting paper crane took off and sped towards the direction of Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
After completing all this, He Song closed his courtyard’s door and quickly immersed himself in his cultivation.
At this time,
it had been four years since He Song broke through to the eighth-tier of Qi Refining.
In these four years, He Song’s cultivation steadily progressed.
Despite spending two years constantly traveling around, searching for places to open spirit fields, and learning small Spirit-Gathering Arrays, and then starting to learn the Smoke Array, his cultivation speed has never slowed down.
During those two years of running around, although the spirit Qi where He Song was located was sparse, the supply of elixirs and other auxiliary cultivation items never decreased.
As a result, He Song’s cultivation speed was only slightly slower than before, but not by much.
Now, after four years,
He Song closed himself off to cultivation again, determined not to leave until he broke through to the ninth-tier of Qi Refining.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.
In these two years, besides cultivating in seclusion, He Song had also kept a close eye on the outside world’s movements.
He was different from other Thick Earth Sect outer disciples.
Before joining Thick Earth Sect, most of the other outer disciples practiced in the Thick Earth Mansion.
Only when they reached the Qi-refining late stage were they allowed to join the Thick Earth Sect and become outer disciples of the Sect.
As a result, their circle of friends naturally consisted of the same batch of people.
So compared to He Song, who had friends outside, their information was much more limited.
Unlike He Song, even when he was inside the Thick Earth Sect,
sound-transmitting paper cranes would occasionally fly in and land in his courtyard.
Moreover, due to this,
He Song not only had a grasp of outside news, but also became acquainted with many Thick Earth Sect outer disciples due to his access to information. Although they couldn’t be called close friends, they could at least converse when meeting face to face.
He Song didn’t stand out and, in fact, felt a little more fond of these outer disciples who lived under the protection of the Thick Earth Sect.
Compared to the crafty behavior of Cultivators in the outside world,
Thick Earth Sect’s outer disciples could practically be deemed moral paragons.
Although there were some with deep thoughts, they were still too naive compared to the outside world’s Cultivators.
These disciples were well-protected by the Thick Earth Sect,
and it was likely that only when they successfully reached the Foundation
Establishment, were assigned to guard a certain place, or failed at Foundation Establishment and were reassigned elsewhere, would their mentality gradually mature.
With the Thick Earth Sect as support, such an approach wouldn’t bring any bad consequences.
Seeing this, He Song’s heart also generated a bit of approval for the way the Thick Earth Sect nurtured its disciples.
When it was time to cultivate, the Sect would provide the best conditions for disciples to do so,
and when it was time for them to grow, the Sect would offer the best support, allowing the disciples’ mentality to mature slowly.
It was no wonder that so many people wanted to join the Sect, even risking their lives to become disciples.
These conditions were simply too generous.
During these two years,
He Song had also received specific news about the possible danger at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, which had been mentioned before in Zhao Lin’s Sound Transmission.
After leaving Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion, Zhao Lin sent a sound -transmitting paper crane to He Song. Based on the information on the paper crane, He Song warned Su Yan to leave Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion as soon as possible.
Afterwards, Su Yan replied, saying that she was already preparing to leave.
Seeing this, He Song naturally didn’t say anything else.
Several months later, when He Song was in seclusion, he received another sound-transmitting paper crane from Zhao Lin.
At that time, Zhao Lin was glad that he ran quickly in his Sound Transmission Amulet, otherwise, he might have died in the great disaster at the Immortal Pavilion.
According to Zhao Lin’s description in the sound-transmitting paper crane, a few months after he left, Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion was suddenly attacked by Evil Cultivators.
Although Master Cheng Shan was guarding the place, a mysterious Foundation Establishment Master appeared among the Evil Cultivators.
Cheng Shan was held back by the Foundation Establishment Master.
Then, numerous Evil Cultivators swarmed the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion from all directions.
For a time, the surrounding spirit fields were destroyed, and the loose cultivators who lived on the outskirts were slaughtered.
One after another, Evil Cultivators found and searched hiding cultivators, killing them after plundering their spirit stones.
One after another, the shops were shattered by the Evil Cultivators, and their goods were seized.
In the face of this sudden disaster, one after another, the cultivators were dumbfounded, and as the Evil Cultivators drew closer, they rushed to the innermost circle of the Immortal Pavilion..
