Chapter 583: 493: Seeing a Bad Situation_2
Cultivators have excellent memory, and He Song had a grasping understanding of the map of the Golden Snake Sect.
Thus, the location of the Golden Snake Sect naturally became one of He Song’s potential retreat routes.
He Song had even thought in his mind of the best place to establish a secret cave dwelling within the territory of the Golden Snake Sect.
And the Purple Cloud Sect.
He Song had also been there before.
That time, it was when He Song took An Ning to the Wind Snow Palace, and he stayed in the territory of the Purple Cloud Sect for a while.
The Wind Snow Palace is a Golden Core Sect within the range of the Purple Cloud Sect’s power, where Master Xing Yan once belonged.
The time He Song spent there was not long, and he only had a general understanding of the Purple Cloud Sect.
Compared to the Golden Snake Sect, He Song’s understanding of the Purple Cloud Sect was naturally more limited.
But he didn’t pay too much attention to this.
As a gold core-true monarch.
Getting to know a Nascent Soul Upper Sect is fairly straightforward.
For He Song, all he needed to do was to hide his cultivation identity, go directly to a Xianzhou, and buy a detailed map.
Once he got the map, He Song could naturally find a location in the Purple Cloud Sect to establish a secret cave dwelling.
Besides.
An Ning had joined the Wind Snow Palace only five years ago.
Although during these five years, An Ning had been constantly sending messages to He Song, informing him about her current situation.
But since she had just broken through the Foundation Establishment Early Stage five years ago, and she was still at a crucial time to improve her strength, she could not leave the Wind Snow Palace to find out about the outside world.
So, in these five years, the most common content of the messages An Ning sent to He Song, were about what she had learned and heard in the Wind Snow Palace.
As for other things, An Ning was helpless.
Perhaps, only after a few more years, when An Ning is dispatched by the Wind Snow Palace to preside over the Xianfang, can she bring He Song more detailed news.
Now, An Ning can still only tell He Song every month what she has experienced in the Wind Snow Palace.
He Song understood her situation and naturally wouldn’t expect her to pass on other information for him.
Aside from the Golden Snake Sect, and the Purple Cloud Sect.
He Song had no thoughts about the Netherworld Blade Sect in the west of the Sun Faction.
The Netherworld Blade Sect, located to the west of the Sun Faction and adjacent to the Demons Realm, is more dangerous than the current Sun Faction.
As for such places, He Song has always been respectful but distant.
After all, the reason he wants to establish secret cave dwellings in the Nascent Soul Upper Sects around the Sun Faction is mainly because of the danger that has surfaced in the Sun Faction.
If other places are more dangerous than where the Sun Faction is located, he wouldn’t dare to go there either.
As it is.
He Song quickly narrowed down his choices to two places for establishing a secret cave dwelling.
The Purple Cloud Sect and the Golden Snake Sect.
His safety could be most assured in these two Nascent Soul Upper Sects.
Especially in the Golden Snake Sect.
The Golden Snake Sect has two Nascent Soul ancestors.
Although one of them is a spiritual beast, it is still considered nascent soul strength.
With such strength, even if the God Locking Sect completely defeats the Sun Faction, they would dare not provoke the Golden Snake Sect.
Two Nascent Soul cultivators besieging, no matter how strong the God Locking Sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators are, they probably won’t reap any benefits.
Regarding the Purple Cloud Sect.
Although He Song doesn’t know how strong the Purple Cloud Sect’s nascent soul ancestor is, the God Locking Sect would not immediately attack the Purple Cloud Sect after the war with the Sun Faction.
In this way, He Song only needs to establish two secret cave dwellings within the territory of the Purple Cloud and Golden Snake Sects.
Then, even if there is an unpredictable event in the Sun Faction in the future, he can ensure his peace of mind.
Sitting under the mixed golden fruit tree, He Song carefully pondered the feasibility of this plan.
After assuring that he would not be inexplicably involved in any life-and-death crisis, He Song finally relaxed.
He returned to the inner room and began to study the Spirit-Gathering Array again.
As for subsequent warfare between the Sun Faction and God Locking Sect.
Master Luo Jing would naturally inform him of the news.
This, He Song knew well.
Therefore, he didn’t pay too much attention to it and entered into secluded cultivation.
Just like that.
In a blink of an eye, another month quietly passed by.
After a month.
On a certain day.
He Song, who was contemplating the Spirit-Gathering Array, was suddenly awakened by the unusual activity of his Sound Transmission Amulet.
Seeing this, He Song had a thought in his heart, naturally knowing that the preliminary battle between the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect must be over.
However, he had no clue about the result.
Would it end with the Sun Faction’s retreat, just as Master Luo Jing had presumed?
With a guess flashing in his mind, He Song quickly opened the Sound Transmission Amulet and took out a piece of thin paper from it.
“An Ning respectfully greets senior.”
“I wish senior a life as enduring as the heavens.”
“…”
On the thin paper, An Ning carefully revealed various interesting things she had heard and experienced throughout the month.
He Song looked helpless, but after thinking about it, he sighed, choosing to store this paper, filled with beautiful handwriting, into his storage bag.
An Ning was sent to the Wind Snow Palace as soon as she reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.
And had stayed in the Wind Snow Palace for five years, unable to leave the sect.
In this situation, she probably couldn’t find anyone to talk to.
The once-a-month correspondence with him was probably her only means of connecting with the outside world.
In this case, she would inevitably have to mention these matters in her letters.
After all, the Wind Snow Palace is just a Golden Core Sect, and the amount of hidden information within it isn’t much.
It’d indeed be tough on her if he expected her to uncover secrets every month and inform He Song.
So, An Ning had no choice but to bring up these matters to continue their monthly correspondences.
He Song understood this behavior.
Therefore, after storing the paper into his storage bag, He Song quickly replied with a letter encouraging her to focus on her cultivation.
After all this, He Song sighed again, continuing his study of the Spirit-Gathering Array.
This time.
He Song thought that the letter was from Master Luo Jing.
Informing him about the outcome of the battle between the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect.
Surprisingly, it was from An Ning.
At this, He Song naturally felt a bit helpless.
However.
Just when He Song, feeling a bit helpless, chose to continue his study of the Spirit-Gathering Array.
The Sound Transmission Amulet that he had just stored away suddenly showed activity again.
Sensing this, He Song quickly abandoned his study of the Spirit-Gathering Array, opened the Sound Transmission Amulet, and took out another piece of thin paper.
This time, from the very first sentence, He Song knew that the letter was from Master Luo Jing.
“Fellow Daoist, the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect have been at a stand-off for a month.”
“In this month, both sides have drawn their swords, not having engaged in open warfare, but have been making small moves.”
“However, as these small moves become increasingly frequent, both sides’ probing actions have inevitably reached a limit.”
“Now, with a month passing in a blink of an eye, the war between the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect kicked off last day.”
“Initially, I planned to inform Fellow Daoist about the start of the war yesterday, but after some thought, I decided to wait until the winner was determined to notify you.”
“So, after a day of bloody battles, many cultivators fought against each other.”
“Although many cultivators had not yet joined the battle, when the True Monarch Tian Jue brazenly took action and suppressed two Nascent Soul Grand Perfection Cultivators of the Sun Faction…”
“Although the war is not over yet, its outcome is quietly emerging.”
“Unfortunately, without Tian Jue, the outcome of this battle is uncertain.”
“But with Tian Jue’s achievement of forcefully suppressing two Nascent Soul Grand Perfection Cultivators, the outcome is already anticipated.”
