Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1137 - Chapter 1137 Chapter 777 Ghostfaces Demise_2

Chapter 1137: Chapter 777: Ghostface’s Demise_2 Chapter 1137: Chapter 777: Ghostface’s Demise_2 He was well aware that the possibility of a traitor emerging was not high.

But it wasn’t about fearing the unlikely so much as fearing the “what if.”

This was something He Song would definitely not consider until it was absolutely necessary.

With this in mind, He Song carefully read through Xiao Qing’s message in its entirety.

He also learned from the letter that Ghostfaced True Monarch had indeed perished.

After pondering for a moment, He Song soon took out another thin piece of paper and began to write a reply to Xiao Qing.

On this occasion,

the primary credit for Ghostfaced True Monarch’s demise should be attributed to True Monarch Shadow Fox.

If not for True Monarch Shadow Fox, He Song might have to be extremely cautious on his next visit to Cloudy Smoke Prefecture.

After all, even though He Song’s cultivation had reached the Later Stage of Golden Elixir, he wasn’t too afraid of Ghostfaced True Monarch.

But what if Ghostfaced True Monarch had several friends, several fellow cultivators?

At that time,

it was likely that the Gold Core Cultivator besieged would turn out to be He Song.

In the face of such a situation, He Song would naturally have to be very cautious.

However, now that Ghostfaced True Monarch had perished, there was no need for such caution on He Song’s future visits to Cloudy Smoke Prefecture.

Besides, Xiao Qing also deserved some credit.

Without Xiao Qing’s message, even if True Monarch Shadow Fox was willing, it would have been difficult for him to learn of the matter.

With this in mind, He Song first praised Xiao Qing in his heart and then expressed appreciation for True Monarch Shadow Fox’s actions.

In his letter, he stated that he would definitely visit True Monarch Shadow Fox in person and have a good drink with him on his next trip to Cloudy Smoke Prefecture.

At the same time, He Song also commended True Monarch Shadow Fox for handling the matter beautifully.

He would surely keep silent before others about his own past issues with Ghostfaced True Monarch in Cloudy Smoke Prefecture.

After sending the reply,

He Song felt a sense of relief wash over him.

The fall of Ghostfaced True Monarch lessened the urgency in his heart.

Prior to this, upon learning that he had been targeted by Ghostfaced True Monarch,

He Song had already managed to escape from Cloudy Smoke Prefecture and had long since distanced himself from Ghostfaced True Monarch’s territory.

Yet, He Song always felt that Ghostfaced True Monarch was someone he had to eliminate.

Unfortunately, before this, He Song’s cultivation level wasn’t even on par with Ghostfaced True Monarch’s.

Thus, the plan to kill Ghostfaced True Monarch had always been buried deep in He Song’s heart,

waiting for the day his cultivation would improve to a point where he could easily strike down Ghostfaced True Monarch before acting on it.

But now,

with Ghostfaced True Monarch’s death,

He Song immediately cast aside his original intentions.

Now that Ghostfaced True Monarch had fallen, He Song could consider one less worry.

So, even if he had to make a trip to Cloudy Smoke Prefecture in the future,

He Song no longer needed to be concerned about his personal safety.

With this thinking, after replying to Xiao Qing,

He Song quickly continued to control his mid-grade Spiritual Vessel Flying Boat, heading towards Cloud State Mansion.

Since he had received Xiao Qing’s letter,

he was already not far from Cloud State Mansion.

Therefore, He Song quickly arrived a few hundred miles from Cloud State Mansion.

A few hundred miles away from Cloud State Mansion, He Song casually stowed his mid-grade Spiritual Vessel Flying Boat and swiftly descended into a valley below.

After leaving behind another Divine Thunder Array to serve as his retreat,

He Song’s figure quickly tunneled into the earth, heading towards the interior of Cloud State Mansion.

He Song had not forgotten

that when he left Cloud State Mansion to investigate the Teleportation Array, he had publicly declared he was in seclusive cultivation.

Therefore, his return this time had to be as discreet as possible,

entering his Hidden Mansion without anyone noticing.

Only then could it create the false impression that He Song had been in seclusive cultivation at this place the whole time.

Thus,

even if He Song’s actions during this trip were detected, it would be impossible for anyone to trace it back to him.

With that thought in mind, He Song’s figure quickly returned underground to his hidden mansion.

Cloud State Mansion.

Within the Treasure Pavilion.

Underneath the mansion where He Song resided.

Inside the hidden mansion.

When He Song passed through the Celestial God Thunder Array on the perimeter of the mansion and entered inside,

his gaze swept over the scene before him, and a trace of emotion flickered across his face.

The last time He Song returned to this place, he had quickly arranged all sorts of buildings neatly.

However, that time, He Song had only stayed for less than a day before uprooting the various buildings and leaving the mansion once again.

Although such a task was not particularly troublesome, it was rather time-consuming.

Therefore, when He Song returned this time, he did not immediately take out the various buildings and treasures from his storage bag and place them in the mansion before him.

Instead, he began to ponder in his heart whether he would continue to go out and do other tasks.

After thinking for a moment and feeling that there was nothing he needed to do right away,

He Song made up his mind.

Subsequently, he quickly took out various buildings and treasures from his storage bag and placed everything within the mansion.

Elixir Refinement Room, artifact refining master, Amulet Making Room…

Cultivation Quiet Room, Golden Spirit Fruit Tree…

When one kind of building after another, and one treasure after another were taken out by He Song and placed inside the mansion,

the hidden mansion where He Song was located also quickly became vibrant.

Inside the mansion, after all the items were put back in their original places, and the hidden mansion was restored to its former glory,

He Song also patted his hands and swept a satisfied glance over the scene within the mansion.

These items were originally placed like this.

It was only because He Song was worried that someone would enter his mansion after he left and steal these items,

that he would take all these items into his storage bag every time he left the mansion.

Otherwise, He Song’s mansion should have always looked like it did now.

Now, He Song had merely restored it to its original state.

After giving everything in the mansion a once over, He Song soon stepped into the Quiet Room of the mansion.

Inside the Quiet Room.

He Song let out a long breath.

Then he sat cross-legged, palms up, and quickly plunged into the contemplation of the mysterious spirit patterns in the Teleportation Array.

Now He Song finally had enough time to calmly contemplate the mysterious spirit patterns within the Teleportation Array.

Before this, whenever He Song contemplated these mysterious spirit patterns, he would always keep part of his mind on alert for the outside world, for fear of missing something important.

Especially the Sound Transmission Amulet he carried on his person, which was a point of major concern for Him.

Especially after making the acquaintance of Zhou Ruo and having him investigate high-level tunneling skills on his behalf,

He Song didn’t dare be negligent for a moment, alternating between contemplating the spirit patterns and paying attention to any changes in the Sound Transmission Amulet.

And once there was any change, He Song would naturally stop contemplating immediately and quickly focus on the transmission.

Thus,

one could say that before this, He Song had never really focused solely on contemplating the mysterious spirit patterns in the Teleportation Array.

He had always been preoccupied with various matters, which made it impossible for him to concentrate fully.

And precisely because of this,

now that He Song had truly returned to his mansion and there were no more trivial matters to distract him,

his contemplation of the mysterious spirit patterns in the Teleportation Array naturally became faster than before.

However,

just as He Song closed his eyes and focused on the mysterious spirit patterns in the Teleportation Array,

he suddenly remembered the spirit tea he had received from True Monarch Yue Hua.

Upon drinking the spirit tea for the first time, He Song felt a surge of clarity in his mind.
