Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1056 - Chapter 1056 Chapter 730 Hidden Murderous Intent

Chapter 1056: Chapter 730 Hidden Murderous Intent Chapter 1056: Chapter 730 Hidden Murderous Intent And after He Song emerged from his seclusion,

he did not let He Song wait too long.

Xiao Qing’s figure soon arrived within He Song’s mansion.

During the month that He Song was in seclusive cultivation, Xiao Qing had not involved herself in the affairs of the Treasure Pavilion.

Instead, as True Monarch Shadow Fox had mentioned earlier, she kept an eye on the changes in the Array Skills within He Song’s mansion.

A month ago, after Xiao Qing left He Song’s mansion and saw He Song activate the mansion’s Array Skills,

Xiao Qing would occasionally come to observe.

And today,

when the Array Skills within He Song’s mansion were suddenly lifted,

Xiao Qing naturally rushed over immediately.

In He Song’s mansion,

inside a refined small pavilion,

Xiao Qing sat down opposite He Song again after exchanging greetings and at his gesture.

Passing a small cup of Golden Core Spiritual Tea to Xiao Qing once again, He Song’s voice quietly rose.

“In this month, has anything happened in the outside world?”

“Has that Ghostfaced True Monarch left Smoke-Cloud State’s mansion?”

For He Song, who had already successfully refined a Cultivator’s Golden Core into a Gold Core Puppet,

the existence of Ghostfaced True Monarch actually no longer had much impact on him.

However, He Song still wanted to know the recent situation of Ghostfaced True Monarch.

After all, He Song’s previous speculations about Ghostfaced True Monarch were just that–speculations.

Although He Song’s subconscious had noticed something was amiss, He Song himself had never noticed anything wrong.

In other words,

He Song actually did not know the true level of Ghostfaced True Monarch’s cultivation.

It’s just that He Song was willing to act according to what his subconscious mind suggested.

Therefore,

after emerging from a month of seclusion,

He Song also immediately wanted to understand matters concerning Ghostfaced True Monarch.

If Ghostfaced True Monarch had left Smoke-Cloud State’s mansion during the month of He Song’s seclusion and had also sparked many other events,

then Ghostfaced True Monarch’s true level of cultivation would probably need to be judged based on the ins and outs of these events.

And if Ghostfaced True Monarch had not left Smoke-Cloud State’s mansion at all,

He Song would have to consider whether Ghostfaced True Monarch knew he was in seclusion and was waiting for him to emerge to enact his plan.

According to He Song’s thought, it was very possible that Ghostfaced True Monarch had interfered with that Cultivator’s Golden Core.

That is to say, before He Song had completely refined the Cultivator’s Golden Core into a Taiyin Puppet,

Ghostfaced True Monarch might truly be able to sense the location of that Cultivator’s Golden Core.

However,

once He Song later completely refined the Cultivator’s Golden Core into a Taiyin Puppet, erasing all traces left by Ghostfaced True Monarch,

Ghostfaced True Monarch might become anxious because he suddenly could not sense the Cultivator’s Golden Core anymore and might take some other action.

For example, sending someone, or coming to the Treasure Pavilion himself, to inquire about He Song’s recent circumstances.

In that case, if He Song truly met Ghostfaced True Monarch in the Treasure Pavilion, he might also be able to confirm his suspicions.

As a multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind,

He Song’s gaze became profound as he looked at Xiao Qing across from him, wishing to learn from her mouth about everything that had happened during his month of seclusion.

And at this moment,

before He Song,

Xiao Qing’s face showed a contemplative expression.

But quickly, as if she had thought of something, she hastily spoke up.

“Sir has been in seclusion for a month.”

“There haven’t been any major events in the outside world.”

“And that Ghostfaced True Monarch has not been heard from at all.”

“Xiao Qing has sent people to scout outside the mansion where Ghostfaced True Monarch resides, but couldn’t gather anything aside from the news that Ghostfaced True Monarch has also been in seclusion for many days.”

“It seems Ghostfaced True Monarch has not left his mansion at all since the end of the auction.”

“However, following the conclusion of the auction,”

“there were several assassination cases outside Smoke-Cloud State Mansion.”

“Several Foundation Establishment cultivators were robbed and killed, their Treasures acquired from the auction taken.”

“Aside from that, no other events have taken place.”

Having said that, Xiao Qing picked up the small cup of spirit tea before her, then drank it in one gulp.

And He Song,

upon hearing Xiao Qing’s words and seeing her gulp down the tea, couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

After every large auction,

there are usually a few cases of robbery and murder; this was not unexpected for He Song.

But the fact that Ghostfaced True Monarch had stayed inside his mansion without leaving made He Song’s thoughts run wild.

Ghostfaced True Monarch

wouldn’t be staying in his mansion all this time because He Song had been in the Treasure Pavilion and had not left, waiting for He Song to leave later, would he?

If that were the case,

Ghostfaced True Monarch would probably take action soon after sensing the Golden Core was no longer detectable.

Thinking of this,

He Song’s expression shifted slightly.

He wanted to test whether Ghostfaced True Monarch really thought this way.

To verify, He Song needed not do much.

He simply had to instruct Xiao Qing to go to the Treasure Pavilion and see if Ghostfaced True Monarch would come to inquire about the news.

If Ghostfaced True Monarch truly came, He Song would naturally understand his intentions.

Naturally, he would then have a strategy to respond.

With this in mind,

He Song didn’t delay.

Instead, he directly ordered Xiao Qing to stay in the Treasure Pavilion and observe whether Ghostfaced True Monarch would come to seek information.
