Chapter 166 - 166: 166: Master Cheng Fu
And it had been prepared for a long time.
Then, naturally, it was time for the plan to close the net.
Deploying Foundation Establishment Masters to attack the Seven Star Sect’s Immortal Pavilion became the final part of the plan.
A Foundation Establishment Master died.
The Seven Star Sect would not investigate it.
If they did investigate, it would lead to the Thick Earth Sect.
At that time…
By now, He Song understood that the attack on the Seven Star Sect’s Immortal Pavilion and the siege and killing of Foundation Establishment Masters must be related to the Thick Earth Sect.
In this case.
The subsequent rumors he heard about the Seven Star Sect, which seemed to have lost their wisdom, might also have been fabricated by the Thick Earth Sect.
The truth might not be as it seemed.
Because He Song couldn’t figure out why those words would come from the Seven Star Sect.
It can’t be that sect relies on its own diabolism identity and looks down on the Righteous Sects, right?
As tor the purpose ot advocating this argument.
It must be for the Thick Earth Sect to show cause for its actions.
After all, from start to finish, the Thick Earth Sect is acting covertly.
Perhaps the Seven Star Sect had been supporting Evil Cultivators within the Thick Earth Sect’s territory.
Or maybe they hadn’t supported any Evil Cultivator at all.
But after years of investigation, the Thick Earth Sect has gathered sufficient evidence so that even if the Seven Star Sect hadn’t done so, they would not be able to refute the evidence.
After a few years, it comes as no surprise that the Thick Earth Sect could come up with the evidence even if they couldn’t produce it initially.
As a result, the Thick Earth Sect’s response after uncovering the evidence and hearing the previous conversation is flawless.
The Seven Star Sect secretly supported the Evil Cultivators within the Thick Earth Sect, attacked the Thick Earth Sect’s Immortal Pavilion, and the evidence is solid.
They even spread rumors and slandered the Thick Earth Sect for attacking the Seven Star Sect’s Immortal Pavilion.
What do they think, the Thick Earth Sect has no temper?
Thus, the Thick Earth Sect had a perfect reason to initiate a war.
They might even create an image of themselves as a victim in the process.
In this way, the struggle between the two sects became inevitable.
As for the truth… What did the Cultivation World want the truth for?
After responding to the comments of the Seven Star Sect, the Thick Earth Sect immediately dispatched several Foundation Establishment Masters to rush into the Mountain Immortal City bordering the Seven Star Sect.
Mountain Immortal City is located to the north of the Thick Earth Sect’s gate, at a distance of ten thousand miles.
Even for Foundation Establishment Masters, it would take them days to get there, traveling with tunneling light.
Dispatching Foundation Establishment Masters to guard the Mountain Immortal City is to prevent the Seven Star Sect from making desperate moves and attacking the Thick Earth Sect’s Immortal Pavilion.
With these Foundation Establishment Masters dispatched, the Mountain Immortal City bordering the Seven Star Sect would be a bit safer.
He Song’s eyes were deep-set.
Watching the tunneling lights disappearing into the sky, a strange idea suddenly arose in his heart.
“How does the Thick Earth Sect appear to be more and more like a villain?”
“They force a situation, initiate wars against other sects, and then use their advantages of having two Golden Core masters in their sect to win the war and gain huge benefits.”
“Such a thing doesn’t seem like something a righteous sect would do, right?” “Or are the other righteous sects in the Cultivation World acting like this too?” At the same time, when He Song wondered about this.
The Sound Transmission Amulet that he had put aside suddenly lit up. He Song, who was awakened by the light, wore a puzzled expression on his face.
Those who could find him using the Sound Transmission Amulet were all within the Thick Earth Sect. It would have been easier for them to visit him directly, but why use the Sound Transmission Amulet?
Confused, He Song took the amulet.
Opened it.
He immediately saw a thin sheet of paper inside the amulet.
After picking it up, He Song swept his eyes over it, and a flash of astonishment appeared in them.
“Mr. He, I will soon set out for Mountain Immortal City. Before leaving, I hope you can visit me to discuss important matters.”
“Meng Guan. ”
After reading the writing on the paper, He Song looked at the distant position where the Foundation Establishment Masters disappeared.
Then he turned his gaze to the mountain peak where Meng Guan’s cave mansion was located.
An idea suddenly surfaced in his heart.
Could it be…those Foundation Establishment Masters dispatched before were the ones shown openly, while secretly, there were others like Meng Guan following behind them?
This doesn’t seem like a defensive move.
On the contrary, it seemed more like an ambush.
If the Seven Star Sect didn’t detect it and sent Foundation Establishment Masters to attack, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Seven Star Sect would face a one-way trip.
By that time, the intensity of the battle between the two sides would escalate instantly.
Ultimately, even the Golden Elixir Masters might join the battle with a high probability.
Imagining the scene in his mind, He Song left his small courtyard after a moment of contemplation to head towards the mountain peak where Meng Guan was residing.
It was still too early to think about this.
For cultivators, a few years, or even a few decades, is not really a long time.
Especially for a Golden Core sect.
Dozens, even hundreds of years passed, which was just a brief moment in its lifespan.
Take Thick Earth Sect as an example.
The existence of the Thick Earth Sect has been at least ten thousand years.
It is unknown how long the Seven Star Sect has existed, but it is probably not too short either.
Over such a long time, countless foundations will accumulate.
Thus, the friction between the Thick Earth Sect and the Seven Star Sect is just beginning at this moment.
Perhaps, it might last for dozens, even hundreds of years, which is not impossible.
Of course, with the two Golden Core masters in the Thick Earth Sect, this time may be greatly shortened.
However, it won’t be enough to determine the outcome quickly.
Soon after.
He Song’s figure arrived outside Meng Guan’s cave mansion.
Just as he reached Meng Guan’s cave mansion, a passage appeared in front of He Song.
Seeing this, He Song didn’t hesitate and stepped directly into it.
Inside Meng Guan’s cave mansion.
Not just him was present at the moment.
Wei Fan was also there, sitting opposite to Meng Guan.
Seeing He Song arrive, both of them nodded to He Song. After He Song sat down, Meng Guan sighed and then spoke.
“Fellow Daoists, I have been in the Foundation Establishment Realm for more than ten years, during which I have almost mastered various skills and artifacts. ”
“Now, as we are facing a turbulent time, the Sect Leader was forced to assign me a task.”
“I will be stationed secretly in Mountain Immortal City in a few days.”
“From now on, the three of us may no longer be able to meet as often as we did in the past.”
With his gaze sweeping over He Song and Wei Fan, Meng Guan took out his Sound Transmission Amulet and placed it on the table in front of him.
When he saw the eyes of He Song and Wei Fan gathered on his Sound Transmission Amulet, Meng Guan continued to speak.
“If you need anything in the future, please communicate with me through the
Sound Transmission Amulet, just don’t reveal this information to others.”
“However… I’m not sure whether I can come back to witness fellow Daoist He’s Foundation Establishment in person.”
Sighing, Meng Guan looked at He Song, a hint of apology flashing through his eyes.
Previously.
The two of them had promised that when He Song achieves Foundation Establishment, they would come to protect him.
But now, with the sudden change in the situation, even though Meng Guan is already in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he still can’t know for certain whether he will have free time to come back and protect He Song.
Seeing this situation, Wei Fan, who was standing beside him, also looked at He Song, his eyes darkening in a similar manner.
He had also reached Foundation Establishment.
Although he had just broken through five years ago.
But after becoming familiar with the skills, artifacts, and various methods of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he probably will follow Meng Guan to participate in the war between the Thick Earth Sect and Seven Star Sect.
By the time he leaves the sect, He Song may still be in the ninth-tier Qi Refining stage, and yet to achieve Qi Refining great perfection.
After all, newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivators generally needed ten years, or even longer, to have the ability to crush Qi Refining cultivators in combat.
Under such circumstances, he might need to leave in another five years or so.
By that time.
Only He Song would be left in their small circle within the Thick Earth Sect.
He Song and Wei Fan protected Meng Guan during his Foundation Establishment.
He Song and Meng Guan protected Wei Fan during his Foundation Establishment.
But when it comes to He Song’s Foundation Establishment, neither of them would be able to protect him.
This situation made both of them feel somewhat bitter in their hearts.
“It’s no big deal, there’s no need to worry about safety when establishing a foundation within the Thick Earth Sect.”
“You two don’t have to worry about it, in fact, you both need to be careful and cautious when participating in this event. ”
“Now that both of you are in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, if you encounter someone you can’t handle, you should quickly escape.”
Seeing that Meng Guan and Wei Fan seemed to feel guilty, He Song didn’t take it to heart. After casually comforting them, he even gave them some advice.
Sect wars are not a trivial matter.
Whether it’s Meng Guan or Wei Fan.
When sent to the front lines, they might face no pressure when dealing with Qi Refining cultivators.
But if they casually encounter a Foundation Establishment master, with their recent breakthroughs into Foundation Establishment Realm, barely a little over ten years of experience, they might not be able to defeat anyone.
Under such circumstances, He Song couldn’t help but remind his two good friends for their safety.
“Don’t worry, my dharma title, Master Duan Hun, is not for nothing.”
However. facing He Song’s reminder. Meng Glian didn’t seem to care- He even
mentioned his dharma title.
Speaking of dharma titles.
Meng Guan quickly turned his attention to Wei Fan.
“It seems brother Wei has not yet chosen a dharma title for himself. Have you thought about what title you would like to use in the future?”
Basically, all Foundation Establishment cultivators would give themselves a nice sounding Dharma title.
Like Meng Guan, who continued to use his dharma title from the Qi Refining stage, calling himself Master Duan Hun.
As for wei Fan.
Although he had broken through to Foundation Establishment for five years, he spent these five years in the Thick Earth Sect, familiarizing himself with various aspects of the Foundation Establishment Realm, only interacting with He Song and Meng Guan, and not dealing with others.
As a result, he hasn’t had a chance to give himself a Dharma title until Meng Guan brought it up now.
“I haven’t thought about it, but when I broke through to Foundation Establishment, I was fortunate to have the help of two good friends. Thanks to their support, I was able to break through, I suppose you can call it being blessed. If that’s the case, I’ll call myself Master Cheng Fu.”
Wei Fan seemed to have a draft prepared, and when Meng Guan asked, he immediately gave himself a Dharma title..
