Chapter 257 - 257: 249: Help from a Friend
Seeing this, He Song took the amulet from his waist, opened it, and a thin sheet of paper appeared before his eyes.
“Thank you for the information, my friend. I’ll keep that in mind. However, if and when the war breaks out, your safety at the Herbs Immortal Workshop near a Demon Sect’s territory might not be guaranteed.”
“After discussing with Wei, we have reported to the sect leader. We intend to transfer you to the Heavenly Power Immortal City to join us. It’ll be better for the three of us to support each other.”
“Heavenly Power Immortal City borders the original Thick Earth Sect’s territory and is somewhat safer.”
“If a war breaks out, you will be in charge of logistics, while Wei and I, as well as other Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators in the city, will be responsible for battle.”
“The three of us are closely connected, so even if we encounter any crisis, we should be able to handle it together.”
“The outcome of this matter should soon be known. Please be prepared to move to the Heavenly Power Immortal City.”
“Wei and I understand that you are cautious, which is why we have come up with this plan. Please don’t take it the wrong way.”
“Meng Guan. ”
He Song’s expression changed slightly as he looked at the lines of text on the paper in his hand.
Originally, he had been preparing to flee at any moment.
That’s because the location of the Herbs Immortal Workshop is to the west of the Seven Star Sect’s territory, bordering another Demon Sect and the Pure Yin Sect.
If a war breaks out, this place would undoubtedly be the first to be affected and become a battlefield.
The safety of the Foundation Establishment Masters stationed here would be greatly threatened as well.
Thus, he prepared an escape route for himself and opened a hidden cave mansion not far from here.
Once the battle begins and the fighting reaches this place, he plans to hide in his hidden cave mansion when the Demon Sect attacks.
He would cultivate in the cave for a few years or decades before breaking out.
By then, the war in this area should have ended.
Naturally, he could continue to cultivate peacefully afterwards.
However, by that time, he might become a Loose Cultivator once again.
But the life of a Loose Cultivator with Foundation Establishment is undoubtedly much better than a Qi Refining Realm one, so he doesn’t need to be too worried.
For his own safety, He Song would rather become a Loose Cultivator than take risks.
Of course, if the Thick Earth Sect were destroyed or anything else happened during this time, He Song would naturally work to rebuild the Thick Earth Sect once he emerged from seclusion and had cultivated to a certain level.
To pay back all the annual salaries he has received and the various Foundation Establishment secret techniques he has learned within the sect.
However, He Song never expected that he would be transferred from this place to the Immortal City closest to the Thick Earth Sect’s homeland.
Heavenly Power Immortal City is located to the north of the Thick Earth Sect, just ten thousand miles from the Mountain Immortal City.
It’s only twenty thousand miles away from the main entrance of the Thick Earth Sect.
Such a close distance is much closer than his current location in Jade Immortal City.
Moreover, the Heavenly Power Immortal City is different from the other three Immortal Cities controlled by the Seven Star Sect.
It doesn’t border any Demon Sect.
Its neighbors include only the three Immortal Cities of the Seven Star Sect and the Thick Earth Sect’s Mountain Immortal City.
In such a situation, once a war breaks out, the Heavenly Power Immortal City is sure to become a major rear area, continuously supplying material resources to the other three Immortal Cities of the Seven Star Sect.
He Song even believes that if a war really breaks out, a Golden Elixir Master will definitely be stationed in the Heavenly Power Immortal City to guard against accidents.
This is a confrontation between two major alliances, and the presence of Golden Elixir Masters is essential.
Moreover, the location of the Heavenly Power Immortal City can cover the other three Immortal Cities of the Seven Star Sect.
These three Immortal Cities are the must-contest places for both sides.
Therefore, after receiving Meng Guan’s message, He Song’s original plan was shaken a bit.
If he could indeed be transferred to the Heavenly Power Immortal City, his safety would naturally be secured in the rear as long as the Golden Elixir Master wasn’t killed in action. Otherwise, his safety would not be threatened.
But, is that possible?
In the Righteous Alliance led by the Thick Earth Sect, there are five Golden Elixir Masters, while the Demon Sect has only four.
The fact that they could kill a Golden Elixir Master on their side even though they have more Golden Elixir Masters, He Song thinks there’s no need to keep fighting if that’s the case.
Moreover, the territory originally controlled by the Seven Star Sect is now under the control of the Thick Earth Sect.
With their dual Golden Elixir Masters, the Thick Earth Sect certainly won’t give up this land easily.
One Golden Elixir Master will guard the Heavenly Power Immortal City, and another will guard the main entrance of the Thick Earth Sect.
If the Heavenly Power Immortal City is attacked, the Golden Elixir Master guarding the entrance will naturally come to support.
In other words, there are two Golden Elixir Masters in the Heavenly Power Immortal City.
How many Golden Elixir Masters would it take to kill two Golden Elixir Masters?
He Song doesn’t know.
But he’s certain that four Golden Elixir Masters definitely can’t kill two. Two against one, if they can’t win, can’t they run away?
Under such circumstances, if He Song were transferred to the Heavenly Power Immortal City, his safety would naturally be greatly guaranteed.
With two Golden Elixir Masters as bodyguards, and located in a safe rear area,
He Song also has two close friends who are closely concerned about his safety.
Moreover, He Song’s own strength is not weak now, and he has even killed a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator.
Under such circumstances, He Song’s thoughts were surging in his mind, and he soon came to a conclusion.
This time.
He might not have to run anymore.
Since he is already safe enough in Heaven Power Immortal City, why take the risk of becoming a loose cultivator and hide in his secluded cave mansion? However, before that, He Song needs to make sure if he’ll be transferred
elsewhere atter being assigned to Heaven power Immortal City, especially when the war situation gets critical.
If he’s still going to be transferred, it’s better not to go to Heaven Power Immortal City.
Once the war gets urgent, he’ll have to leave the safe rear zone of Heaven Power Immortal City to fight for his life on the front lines.
As an everlasting being.
Thinking of his own safety.
He Song would definitely not want to accept such a situation.
If that’s the case, he might as well directly hide in his secluded cave mansion, and not hear anything happening outside his window.
No matter how the outside world turns out, he can emerge from seclusion after a few decades.
“It’s not a problem, but the matter of being transferred to Heaven Power Immortal City still needs further discussion.”
“If the war becomes critical later, will we be transferred to the front lines again?”
“Although Heaven Power Immortal City is safe, if we’re going to be transferred elsewhere, I’m afraid this transfer would be in vain.”
“By then, perhaps the three of us will be sent back to the battlefield.” “At that time, the three of us might face a life and death crisis.”
“He Song.”
He placed the paper in the Sound Transmission Amulet, spit out his mana, and sent it to Meng Guan.
He Song looked at Yu’er beside his feet, who was rubbing her little head against him, and sighed slightly in his heart.
This world is still too dangerous.
As a Foundation Establishment Master, it is quite difficult for him to cultivate peacefully in this world.
Above mortals are Qi Refining cultivators, above Qi Refining cultivators are Foundation Establishment cultivators, and above them are Golden Elixir and Yuanying cultivators.
Above Yuanying…
He Song has only recently stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage, and he doesn’t know how many beings above him have higher cultivation levels.
If he wants to cultivate truly peacefully, he may have to wait until his cultivation level reaches a certain degree before fulfilling this wish.
Nowadays.
Apart from hiding in a secluded cave mansion.
He can only try his best to find a place that is safe enough and maximizes his interests.
Only by doing so can He Song safely get through the stage when his cultivation is insufficient, and gradually grow stronger.
When his cultivation reaches a certain level, he naturally won’t have so many troubles.
By that time.
Not to mention the war between the two alliances.
Even if the Sun Faction and the God Locking Sect come to blows, He Song would stay calm and unflustered.
But that’s something for the future.
For now, He Song’s cultivation is only at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and even the confrontation between the two alliances is already causing him some difficulty, so he can only focus on avoiding this crisis.
Resisting… is not really possible.
After a short while.
The Sound Transmission Amulet in front of He Song emitted a bright light, startling him awake.
Seeing this, he quickly opened the Sound Transmission Amulet and took out a thin piece of paper from it.
“Fellow Daoist can set off for Heaven Power Immortal City immediately. Sect
Leader has already agreed to transfer you there.”
“I believe a transfer order will arrive soon.”
“As for the concerns you mentioned, my colleagues and I have already considered them, and you need not worry.”
“Although your cultivation is only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, if you can break through to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment within a few years, you will be able to legitimately guard Heaven Power Immortal City.”
“At this point, it’s been nearly thirty years since you broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and you should be close to reaching the
Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.”
“The number of Master Guardians in each Immortal City is fixed. Since the three of us guard Heaven Power Immortal City, we will not be transferred elsewhere easily.”
“Even if the war gets critical by then, only one of us will be transferred at most. ”
“Although I’m not talented, Master Duan Hun’s reputation is quite resounding, so I hope you can give me this opportunity.”
“However, it’s unlikely to be our turn to handle this matter. We should only be responsible for guarding the Immortal City.”
“The real battle… will be handled by others.”
“Meng Guan. ”
Seeing the lines of text on the paper in front of him, He Song felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.
According to what Meng Guan said, as long as He Song’s cultivation can break through to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment within a few years, he would be qualified to rightfully guard Heaven Power Immortal City.
As for his previous concerns about being transferred to the battlefield if the war becomes critical, Meng Guan also provided a reasonable explanation..
