Chapter 268 - 260: Transfer of Power



These were merely words of formal courtesy.

If He Song indeed chose not to give gifts, the situation might have turned awkward.

If Master Bai Yun truly declined to accept, the matter could have as well become uncomfortable.

Hence.

Knowing what the gift represented, though the two spoke polite words, their hearts were clear as a mirror.

They just did not bring the topic to the surface, using these words for mere formalities instead.

As the two proceeded on their way.

More and more cultivators with close relations to Master Bai Yun saw the two travel together, engaged in pleasant conversation.

Noticing this scenario, these people politely greeted He Song and Master Bai Yun, who naturally wouldn’t neglect them in response.

Once they passed by everyone,

Almost everybody had seen them enjoy their friendly conversation.

The two then entered the backyard.

Whenever there’s a transition of power,

A sense of security needs to be given to those below.

The demeanor of the two was meant to inform these people,

That from now on, the guardian Master of Heaven Power Immortal City would be He Song.

Upon seeing this, those who were on good terms with Master Bai Yun naturally shifted their focus onto He Song.

This was the transition between the old and the new.

Also, the handover of power.

It implied that henceforth, Master Bai Yun would leave this place.

He Song would take over immediately.

The back courtyard.

Inside a small pavilion.

Meng Guan, Wei Fan, and Master Xuan He had already been waiting there for some time.

They all stood up to greet the two when they saw them arrive together.

After everyone had seated down, they began the pleasantries.

It had been several months since Master had gone into secluded cultivation, and this was the first time in a while all five men had come together for a conversation.

They were here only to see off Master Bai Yun, who was about to leave.

At any other time, one or two among them would likely be in seclusion and unable to come.

Inside the small pavilion.

After their farewells.

It was finally time to part.

As everyone stood up to bid farewell.

Master Bai Yun waved his hand and looked at the four men beside him, a brief feeling of emotion flashed in his eyes.

“Unconsciously, I have been guarding the Heaven Power Immortal City for many years.”

“I have been guarding this place right from the time it was captured until now.”

“Now, the time to leave is finally here.”

“Fellow Daoists, until we meet again!”

Having said this, Master Bai Yun bowed to the four and his entire body transformed into a golden tunneling light that shot towards the sky.

At the same time, He Song and the others also slightly bowed towards the light, bidding their farewell.

Inside Master Bai Yun’s mansion.

Qi refining stage cultivators who had been in the living room to bid him farewell also respectfully bowed to the golden tunneling light.

Master Bai Yun had ruled this place for many years and naturally had many admirers.

To the cultivators of the Immortal City,

Being able to get close to a Master of Foundation Establishment was a huge opportunity.

Many Qi refining cultivators naturally idolize Masters of Foundation Establishment.

He Song, though he had only been here for five years, already had a group of people who respected him above all, although he didn’t pay much attention to it.

Master Bai Yun, having run this place for so many years, naturally had many more supporters.

Now that Master Bai Yun was leaving, it was only natural for these followers to come and say goodbye.

Moreover,

He Song had previously shown his face in front of these people along with Master Bai Yun.

Once He Song returned to his mansion, many people would come to pay their respects, wishing to become his followers.

But these matters were only secondary.

After seeing Master Bai Yun depart as a streak of tunneling light leaving Heaven Power Immortal City, the four men in the backyard didn’t display any intention of leaving.

Although they had chatted at length before Master Bai Yun’s departure,

With someone leaving,

Naturally, someone will join.

“Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on becoming the rightful Guardian Master of Heaven Power Immortal City.”

Meng Guan was the first to speak, congratulating He Song with a smile.

After more than five years,

He Song’s status had finally changed.

Even though he was already a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, no one dared to gossip about him.

But until today, He Song’s role had never been confirmed.

Now.

With He Song’s cultivation reaching the mid-stage Foundation Establishment and Master Bai Yun’s departure, his role naturally became the Guardian Master of the Heaven Power Immortal City.

Hence, He Song’s position was solidified.

Regardless of what changes may happen in the future, it certainly wouldn’t involve He Song.

“Congratulations, fellow Daoist…”

After Meng Guan offered his congratulations, it was Wei Fan’s turn.

Smiling, he too congratulated He Song on becoming the Guardian Master of the Heaven Power Immortal City, a look of satisfaction crossing his face.

He Song becoming the Guardian Master of Heaven Power Immortal City was beneficial to both him and Meng Guan.

Previously.

He Song had simply assumed the duties of the Guardian Master, not yet having secured the position.

Had something unexpected happened, it could have derailed the whole plan.

Thus, during these last five years, they were extremely discreet about certain matters.

But now.

With Master Bai Yun gone, He Song was left with all the power. Some things, it was time to start quietly operating them.

“Congratulations, fellow cultivator…”

This was Master Xuan He.

Master Xuan He had become quite familiar with He Song over the past five years.

Unlike Master Bai Yun, who was destined to leave, Master Xuan He had a closer relationship with those like He Song.

Although he was an elite of the sect, even though they knew the difference between themselves and the sect’s elites, He Song and the others did not harbor any animosity towards him.

Master Xuan He was tranquil, enjoying the sound of string instruments, appreciating the moon while sipping tea, which perfectly fit the character of a cultivator.

Because of this, he felt no animosity towards He Song, who shared similar tastes.

At the same time, the overlap in their interests was another reason for the closer relationship between Master Xuan He and the three of them.

During his free time, He Song would occasionally sit and sip tea with Master Xuan He, which was rather pleasing.

“Mutual joy, mutual joy.”

In response to the congratulations of the three, He Song returned the gesture.

About this matter, He Song didn’t pay much care.

After all, when he first arrived at Heaven Power Immortal City, he had already taken on his duty.

Now that Master Bai Yun had left, he had merely gained a new title.

It’s not like he was granted any significant privileges.

Therefore, he wouldn’t be overly concerned.

Nevertheless, there was a change in his status, he had to return the congratulations.

After another round of pleasantries…

The four men sat again in the small pavilion.

After a cordial conversation…

The atmosphere among the four men warmed up slightly.

When it was late…

As He Song was about to leave, Wei Fan came close and whispered something in his ear.

“Fellow cultivator, after you go home this time, if someone comes to visit, don’t dismiss him casually, he harbors some secrets.”

“It represents an opportunity, I hope you don’t reject it.”

With these words, Wei Fan gave He Song a slight smile and took his leave.

Seeing this, Meng Guan and Xuan He didn’t show any surprise and also chose to take their leave.

Seeing this, a hint of confusion flashed in He Song’s eyes.

But then he thought of the opportunity mentioned by Wei Fan.

He Song was filled with curiosity.

An opportunity?

What kind of opportunity?

Weren’t they here to say goodbye to Master Bai Yun?

Why is it that after bidding farewell to Master Bai Yun, he was told there would be an opportunity?

Could it be … did Master Bai Yun prepare something for him before leaving?

It seemed that upon returning, he had to wait for a visitor.

With these thoughts in his mind, He Song didn’t linger at Master Bai Yun’s residence and returned to his own.

Master Bai Yun’s residence would naturally be tidied up and reserved for later use.

Upon returning to his own residence…

He Song positioned Yu’er in front of him, luring her forward with a handful of Beasts Elixir, while waiting for the opportunity Wei Fan had mentioned to present itself.

He didn’t have to wait long.

As though they already knew when He Song would return.

Just as Yu’er finally ate a Beast Elixir…

There was a knock at the gate.

Upon seeing this, He Song straightened his robe, placed Yu’er into a pool, and opened the mansion gate with a wave of mana.

“Come in.”

Following He Song’s words, an old man, trembling and supported by a young man, walked through the doorway.

Both the old man and the young man lacked cultivation.

Moreover, the old man was clearly not long for this world.

If it weren’t for the young man supporting him, He Song was even worried he wouldn’t be able to step over the threshold of his mansion.

However, upon seeing the old man and the young man, a bizarre light flashed in He Song’s eyes.

In the Cultivation World…

Especially within the Immortal City…

There was a kind of person whose existence made everyone shudder.

This kind of person was selected specifically to work for the great figures.

The great figures can’t possibly handle everything personally.

Some dirty and tired tasks, why would the influential figures do them personally?

But if they picked someone from among the commoners who is tight-lipped and efficient to do these things…

Promising them gold and silver, a life of wealth…

It’s unlikely anyone could refuse.

Cultivators generally had much longer lives than commoners.

After this person died, if there were no descendants, these secrets would naturally be buried deep underground.

If there were descendants, they might be hired to do the work, making things even more secretive.

The reason they didn’t select cultivators was because cultivators who could cultivate had too many desires and found it hard to keep secrets.

If their cultivation level was high, they could even pose a threat.

Hence, almost nobody would specifically assign these tasks to cultivators.

Meanwhile…

Although this person was a commoner…

With an influential figure backing him, nobody would dare to challenge him.

The actions of this person represented the influential figure behind him.

If something went wrong anytime…

To eradicate the traces of a commoner was an easy task for any cultivator.

so…

From the perspective of the influential figure behind him, it was quite safe..
