Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Preparing for Battle?
Translator: 549690339
A thought flashed through He Song’s mind, so he impulsively picked up the Sound Transmission Amulet and opened it.
Suddenly, a thin piece of paper appeared in front of He Song.
Picking up the thin paper.
He Song quickly saw the line of writing on it.
“Mr. He, Ping’er and Sister have arrived at Thick Earth Sect. I wonder where you are. It has been a long time since we met, can we arrange a get-together?”
“Ping’er. ”
Glancing at it, He Song initially thought something significant had happened, but after reading the text, he let out a sigh of relief. However, a trace of doubt quickly flashed through his eyes.
Pinger and Chu Shuangshuang?
Aren’t they always following Master Qingyue closely, almost inseparable?
Only when Master Qingyue returned to sect and informed the Sect Leader about the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion affair did they not follow.
At other times, as far as He Song knew, the three of them should be inseparable.
So why now …
Suddenly, they all returned to the sect?
With doubts, He Song produced a thin sheet of paper in his hand, and the spirit power surged from his fingertips, quickly leaving a line of writing on it. “I happen to be in the outer disciple’s courtyard right now. Since Sister has returned, I will wait for her arrival in the courtyard.”
“He Song.”
Placing the thin paper with the carved writing inside the Sound Transmission Amulet, He Song closed it and then made a hand seal.
Immediately, the Sound Transmission Amulet flashed with light.
When He Song reopened it to check, the paper inside it had disappeared.
Having done all this, He Song put away the Sound Transmission Amulet, stepped out of the quiet room, and came to his own small courtyard to brew tea and wait.
Pinger and Chu Shuangshuang suddenly returned to the sect.
He Song, who had always been in the sect, naturally needed to receive them.
At the same time.
Outside the Thick Earth Sect.
A few spirit boats loaded with cultivators were flying towards the sect gate under the control of some Foundation Establishment Masters.
Aboard one of the spirit boats, Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang stood side by side.
As a light flashed, Ping’er opened the Sound Transmission Amulet and took out a thin sheet of paper.
After reading the contents of the paper, a smile appeared on Ping’er’s face.
“Sister, Junior Brother He has not left the sect and is waiting for us in the courtyard.”
As Ping’er spoke, a gentle look flashed in Chu Shuangshuang’s eyes, but a trace of worry appeared on her face.
This time they returned to the sect.
It wasn’t because they wanted to, but because they couldn’t defy master’s order.
Not only them, but other Qi Refining outer and inner disciples who were outside the sect gate had also been brought back to the sect by the elders of the Thick Earth Sect.
That was why there were several spirit boats around them.
When Foundation Establishment cultivators traveled, they generally rode with tunneling light.
Only when carrying people or traveling long distances would they choose spirit boats.
At this moment, the outer disciples who had been living outside the sect gate, or who had just left the sect gate, all had puzzled minds.
Summoning all the disciples near Green Wall Immortal City who were outside the sect gate back to the Thick Earth Sect.
Had a major event happened?
But recently, it seemed that no significant incidents had occurred.
Strange.
Thinking of these matters, Chu Shuangshuang furrowed her brows. However, seeing Pinger’s joyful appearance next to her, her heart gradually settled down.
Seeing that the sect gate was not far away, she finally replied.
“Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since we last saw Junior Brother He at
Green Wall Immortal City. I wonder how his cultivation is progressing now.”
As she spoke, Chu Shuangshuang’s gaze unconsciously looked towards the inside of the Thick Earth Sect.
She seemed to be trying to see where He Song was at the moment.
Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and despite her current Qi Refining great perfection, she could not see He Song’s location from there.
“I don’t know. The last time I saw him in Green Wall Immortal City, his cultivation was at the seventh-tier Qi Refining level. Now, I suppose he would be around the eighth-tier Qi Refining?
Eight years ago, when He Song left the sect to sell spirit rice.
He also visited friends and relatives.
He even sent generous gifts to Master Qingyue as well as Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang in Green Wall Immortal City.
At that time, He Song’s cultivation was still at the seventh-tier Qi Refining level but was about to advance to the eighth- tier Qi Refining level.
Now, with eight years passed, He Song’s cultivation had successfully crossed the eighth-tier Qi Refining level and reached the ninth-tier Qi Refining level.
But Pinger’s impression of He Song was still stuck when he was in the seventh-tier Qi Refining level.
Although it had been eight years, they had never met or discussed cultivation matters during this time, so she naturally wouldn’t guess He Song’s cultivation too high.
“Let’s go see junior brother He first then.”
As the spirit boat continued forward, Chu Shuangshuang’s words were drowned out by the wind.
Outer disciple residence.
He Song sat in the courtyard, looking up into the distance.
He saw several spirit boats flying from the horizon to the gate of Thick Earth Sect.
However, due to the distance, he couldn’t see who were on the spirit boats.
But when he saw the spirit boats, He Song immediately thought of the Sound Transmission Amulet that Zhao Lin had sent him a few days ago.
A few days ago, Zhao Lin said he had seen several Foundation Establishment Masters heading west.
It seemed that their target was the gate of the Thick Earth Sect.
At this moment.
The arrival of these several spiritual boats made He Song think of something right away.
“Could it be… these several spiritual boats are the Foundation Establishment cultivators returning to the sect to report?”
Watching the spiritual boats land inside the sect gate, He Song had some thoughts in his heart, but there was no news at the moment, so he couldn’t be sure.
He just continued to quietly make tea, waiting for Ping’er and the others to arrive.
A moment later.
The door of He Song’s courtyard was knocked on.
Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang came hand in hand, which made He Song’s originally quiet courtyard a bit more lively.
Having invited the two into his courtyard and handed a cup of good tea to each, He Song suddenly heard an exclamation from Ping’er close to his ear.
“It’s been a few years, and He Junior Brother’s…no, He Senior Brother’s cultivation has actually reached the ninth-tier of Qi Refining!”
“Junior Sister Ping’er pays respects to Senior Brother He.”
Just as Ping’er sat down, a flash of spirit light appeared in her eyes, and upon seeing He Song’s current cultivation, she hurriedly stood up from her chair and bowed to He Song.
However, during her bow, the joy on Ping’er’s face made it seem as if she was the one who had broken through to the ninth-tier of Qi Refining.
Seeing this, He Song was at a loss for words.
He could only stand up and return the bow as well.
“Ping’er Senior Sister is overthinking it, there’s no need for us to be so formal between us. Let’s go by the order we entered the sect.”
Although the two were not close friends, they had known each other for a long time.
There were some feelings between them.
He Song naturally wouldn’t let her change her title just because his cultivation had slightly surpassed Ping’er’s.
It’s better to go by the order of entering the sect, so that He Song wouldn’t leave the impression of being arrogant in front of others.
Such an impression would be harmful and useless to He Song.
He naturally wanted to avoid it as much as possible.
“Senior Brother He, you’re being too modest. As your junior sister, my cultivation is only at the eighth-tier of Qi Refining. Calling you senior brother is what I should do.”
Seeing He Song hurriedly refusing, Ping’er didn’t agree.
Instead, she seemed to be fascinated by the title of senior brother, calling him that regardless of what He Song said.
As for this, He Song tried to dissuade her a few times.
But after realizing it was completely useless, he just let her be.
This wasn’t He Song being arrogant.
It was the junior sister who wouldn’t allow it.
Seeing He Song’s tacit approval of the title, Ping’er’s eyes finally lit up with happiness, and the three of them soon began to chat and catch up.
During the conversation, He Song also learned from them about the Thick Earth Sect recalling the outer and inner disciples.
Combining what He Song had previously learned.
He immediately realized that something was wrong.
Before.
Meng Guan had said that the incident of the Immortal Pavilion being attacked by evil cultivators had spread around, causing great damage to the image of the Thick Earth Sect.
At the same time, a few months ago he said that the news of this incident should be reported back soon.
Now, the Foundation Establishment cultivators who went back to the sect to report the news had brought back all the outer and inner disciples of the Thick Earth Sect from the vicinity of the Green Wall Immortal City.
The Thick Earth Sect is a Golden Elixir Great Faction.
Tens of thousands of years ago, there was even an Ancestor Yuanying sitting there.
Under the circumstances where they had absolute strength, how could the Thick Earth Sect allow this kind of thing to spread around? And now even more so as it’s widely known?
Moreover.
When the face of a Golden Elixir Great Faction is tarnished, if no action is taken to deter it, wouldn’t everyone come and step on it?
You should know that the Thick Earth Sect currently has two Golden Core cultivators.
If they let the news continue to spread, I’m afraid the world will know that the two Golden Core Masters of the Thick Earth Sect are cowards.
Even if they were beaten back to their hometown, they still dare not fight back. In this case, the reputation of the Thick Earth Sect will inevitably be greatly damaged.
In this situation, if He Song were the sect leader, he would not tolerate such a thing.
Either expose and kill the instigator behind the scenes to set an example.
Or, cut off the channels of information spreading outside, so that other sects know nothing about this matter.
Besides.
He Song couldn’t think of any better solution for now.
Since the news of the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion being attacked by evil cultivators has already filled the sky, the best choice is to expose the main culprit behind the scenes and kill them!
Under what circumstances would the Thick Earth Sect choose to recall the disciples outside the sect gate?
Just thinking about it, He Song felt that something big was about to happen.
And it was something he had never anticipated before.
With various thoughts flashing in his heart, He Song continued to chat with the Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang beside him while looking at the main peak where the Thick Earth Sect was located.
“It seems… something big is going to happen.”
“Could it be that we’ve found out which sect is playing tricks behind our backs and want to start a war against that force?”
“Or is there a hidden secret in this?”
He Song’s mind flashed back to Meng Guan’s cautious words at the time, and he was not sure if what he was thinking was correct.
But soon, He Song focused on entertaining Ping’er and Chu Shuangshuang in front of him and put the matter behind him.
Anyway, he was now in the safest sect gate within the Thick Earth Sect’s sphere of influence.
Even if a Golden Core Master came to attack, He Song wouldn’t be worried at all.
In this case.
Why think so much?
After a few days, when the news comes out, he will naturally know the development of the matter.
Since this is the case.
Waiting for news is enough. There’s no need to guess at this point..
