Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Golden Elixir Demon Sect
Translator: 549690339
With such thoughts in mind, He Song began to enjoy drinks with the two.
Although it wasn’t alcohol, cultivators loved tea more than wine, and after not meeting for a long time, the three got along quite harmoniously.
Moreover, the two might have to stay in the sect for a long time in the future. Naturally, they became more enthusiastic towards He Song, an acquaintance.
After a long time.
He Song sent the two out of the small courtyard, agreed to meet again in the future, and then returned to his room to begin cultivating.
At present, the Foundation Establishment Realm Masters had just returned.
The first thing they naturally did was to meet Sect Leader.
Only after they had met Sect Leader and reported everything that had happened at the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion to him.
Then, the Sect Leader would make a decision, and only then would news spread.
Therefore, even though He Song was very curious about what had happened, after thinking about it, he decided to continue cultivating and wait for the news to come out slowly.
At this moment, He Song was at a critical moment, moving towards Qi Refining Great Perfection.
Naturally, he did not want to waste a single moment, and besides paying necessary attention to the outside world, cultivating and studying had become the main theme of He Song’s life.
In such a state, He Song’s cultivation would rapidly improve.
At the same time.
As long as there was news, He Song would naturally know it immediately.
At that time, no matter what happened to the Thick Earth Sect, he would be able to react in the first instance.
It would depend on whether he continued to stay in Thick Earth Sect and cultivate peacefully.
Or if he was prepared to flee and leave Thick Earth Sect’s sphere of influence.
It would depend on what kind of news would come out at that time.
This wait.
He Song waited for several months.
During these months, everything in Thick Earth Sect was calm.
Except for the sudden increase of cultivators in the area where outer disciples were, He Song hadn’t even noticed any changes in Thick Earth Sect.
The sudden increase of cultivators in the area where outer disciples were.
According to He Song’s guess, it might have something to do with Ping’er and the others returning to the sect.
As outer disciples themselves.
Pinger and Chu Shuangshuang both left their Masters.
What about the other outer disciples who were outside?
They probably had also returned to the sect.
In this way, the increase of outer disciples in the Thick Earth Sect would also be considered normal.
However.
When several months passed in the blink of an eye and there wasn’t even a hint of news within Thick Earth Sect, He Song had already sensed something unusual.
It was wrong.
It was too wrong.
The calm before him was like the calm before a storm.
The calm was so unsettling that it made He Song fidgety.
As it should be, the disciples had already been called back to the sect.
The next moves could naturally be imagined.
But what about now?
There was not a single movement.
Neither within nor outside the Thick Earth Sect.
He Song hadn’t received even a tiny bit of news.
However, just as He Song was suspicious in his heart and even wanted to ask Meng Guan and others again if they had received any news, a piece of news from the outside world caused a stir in the Thick Earth Sect.
“An Immortal Mansion within the Seven Star Sect’s sphere of influence was attacked by an Evil Cultivator who besieged and killed the Foundation Establishment Realm Master stationed there. The Seven Star Sect is currently investigating this matter.”
The Seven Star Sect.
Located north of the Thick Earth Sect and bordered by the Thick Earth Sect, it was a Demon Sect with Golden Elixir cultivators.
Demon Sect.
A Demon Sect’s Immortal Mansion was attacked by Evil Cultivators.
Several Foundation Establishment Realm Masters besieged and killed the one who guarded the Immortal Mansion.
When He Song first heard this news, he felt it was incredibly absurd.
When did the Evil Cultivators dare to attack the Demon Sect’s Immortal Mansion?
Moreover, the strength of these Evil Cultivators was also very strange.
What kind of Evil Cultivators could gather several Foundation Establishment Realm Masters?
One should know that Foundation Establishment Realm Masters were not cabbages. Once one became a Foundation Establishment Realm Master, they could receive treatment at any sect.
There were Foundation Establishment Realm Evil Cultivators, but they were very few.
The difficulty of gathering several Evil Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm was thus hard to imagine.
Moreover, these Foundation Establishment Realm Evil Cultivators had offended the Seven Star Sect of all people.
This was a Golden Elixir Demon Sect after all.
Demonic cultivators were not on the same level as righteous cultivators like those from the Thick Earth Sect.
Extracting souls, refining corpses, raising insects, driving away evil spirits; these matters were unimaginable to ordinary people.
For Demonic cultivators, encountering Evil Cultivators was like striking it rich.
This was because after killing Evil Cultivators, their corpses could be used to exchange for spirit stones.
Generally speaking.
In a Demon Sect’s sphere of influence.
The safety level of Demonic cultivators was higher than that of Loose cultivators, the safety level of Loose cultivators was higher than that of mortals, and the safety level of mortals was higher than that of Evil Cultivators.
There were also mortals in the sphere of influence of a Demon Sect.
Moreover, the lives of mortals were more or less the same in both the righteous sects and the demonic sects.
Demonic sects also needed disciples, loose cultivators, and the income from spirit stones.
Thus, the mortals who could continually cultivate and produce loose cultivators and sect disciples became valuable resources.
All demonic sects that didn’t value mortals have almost all disappeared throughout history.
Until now, the lives of mortals within the spheres of influence of existing demonic sects were probably not too bad. The righteous sects were the same in this aspect.
From this, it can be inferred.
Evil cultivators within the spheres of influence of demonic sects would encounter all sorts of challenges.
These were live materials for artifact refinement, elixir refinement, corpse nourishment, and soul extraction!
Once encountered by demonic cultivators, it’d be a lucky stroke of fortune.
However.
Even in this situation.
An Immortal Mansion of the Seven Star Sect was attacked by evil cultivators.
Unlike the Thick Earth Sect, in the Immortal Mansion of the Seven Star Sect, a Foundation Establishment master was directly besieged and killed by several other Foundation Establishment masters without a chance to escape.
It can be imagined how much shock this would cause.
When did the evil cultivators become so bold?
Yesterday, they dared attack the Thick Earth Sect’s Immortal Mansion. Today, they dare attack Star Sect’s Immortal Mansion, and even kill a Foundation Establishment master.
Tomorrow, would they dare to attack the Golden Sword Sect’s Immortal City?
The day after, would they dare to attack the gates of the Jade Flower Sect?
And a few months later, would they dare to defy the heavens?
For a moment, the news of the attack on the Seven Star Sect’s Immortal Mansion and the death of a Foundation Establishment master immediately caused a great uproar.
However.
As the Seven Star Sect’s investigation deepened, the evidence began to point towards the Thick Earth Sect.
The Thick Earth Sect and the Seven Star Sect were adjacent.
At the same time, the people of the Seven Star Sect found some trace of connection to the Thick Earth Sect in the destroyed Immortal Mansion.
As more and more evidence surfaced, the Seven Star Sect became more and more convinced.
“The Thick Earth Sect shamelessly sent several Foundation Establishment masters to destroy our Immortal Mansion. If they don’t provide an explanation, we will settle the score!”
One day, after hearing these rumors, He Song was astonished.
Although it didn’t say exactly who would confront the Thick Earth Sect, by careful consideration, these words could only have come from the Seven Star Sect.
What a force to be reckoned with, as expected from a demonic sect. They’re hard and unyielding.
The Thick Earth Sect now had a dual Golden Elixir expert, so what force could the Seven Star Sect muster?
But would the Seven Star Sect be so dumb as to deliver themselves into the Thick Earth Sect’s hands for a beating?
He Song had trouble believing this.
As He Song was pondering this, the Thick Earth Sect’s response arrived.
The response, however, only reinforced He Song’s suspicions.
“The Seven Star Sect is supporting evil cultivators within the Thick Earth Sect’s sphere of influence to attack the Immortal Mansion. After years of investigation, the evidence is conclusive.”
“The Thick Earth Sect never wanted to get involved, but now we’re being falsely accused by the Seven Star Sect. We have no choice but to return the favor.” “The Seven Star Sect is cruel and heartless…We, the Thick Earth Sect, will act on behalf of the heavens…”
The outer disciple residence of the Thick Earth Sect.
He Song looked up at the sky, watching the tunneling lights continuously shooting into the distance, and his speculations grew clearer.
The attack on Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion was indeed a severe loss, but it didn’t strike a fatal blow to the sect.
The Thick Earth Sect had been investigating the area around Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion for years, and only a few months ago did they find a result.
However, Meng Guan had already deduced the outcome a year ago.
That being the case,
The Thick Earth Sect must have known long ago the details behind the attack on the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion. Or, even more sinister, maybe the Thick Earth Sect orchestrated the whole event.
As for why it would be Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion,
It was likely related to the incident more than a decade ago when evil cultivators attacked the Green Wall Immortal City Law Enforcement Team members outside of Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion.
That group of evil cultivators might have indeed been supported by
Star Sect
If there were already evil cultivators lurking there, fabricating an incident and getting someone else to take the blame was not unusual.
Considering it this way,
He Song suddenly remembered that when he had lived in Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion, he had once had such a suspicion and even dug a hole in the mansion as a contingency plan.
Fortunately, He Song had now joined the Thick Earth Sect as an outer disciple, so he wouldn’t be cannon fodder.
According to He Song’s speculation,
If the Thick Earth Sect had known about the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion attack results long ago, then the years of investigation and the action of bringing back all disciples to the sect a few months ago would make sense.
The years of investigation were merely a facade, and in secret, they might have been preparing for war all along.
Bringing the disciples back to the sect a few months ago was naturally in preparation for war.
These outer disciples were the future of the Thick Earth Sect.
If anything were to happen to them, the Thick Earth Sect would be left without successors.
Naturally, during the war preparations, bringing all the outer disciples back to the protection of the sect and the Sect Protection Array was essential.
As for the lack of action even after the return of several Foundation Establishment masters a few months ago, He Song quickly reached a conclusion after some thought.
Perhaps…the months of silence were spent planning an attack on the Seven Star Sect’s Immortal Mansion..
