Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1289 - Chapter 1289 Chapter 846 Turning Danger into Safety_2

Chapter 1289: Chapter 846: Turning Danger into Safety_2 Chapter 1289: Chapter 846: Turning Danger into Safety_2 An Ning’s correspondence with He Song was always full of respect.

It was evident that her admiration for He Song was still present and hadn’t diminished much.

Therefore, this time He Song didn’t say much and immediately lent a hand to help.

An Ning’s existence

was a continuation of Su Qian.

For He Song, the existence of these two people was actually quite important.

If it wouldn’t affect his own safety, it was best to offer assistance.

After all, if An Ning survived, she could bring more information about Wind Snow Palace in the future.

He Song had not forgotten

that he had once stayed in a Secret Realm with Elder Phantom Snow.

If Elder Phantom Snow truly harbored unceasing thoughts of him, having An Ning around could also enable him to make a quick escape.

However, soon after He Song directly extended his help,

An Ning, who had originally thought that as both were Gold Core Cultivators, what He Song could do, she could do too, was now full of shame.

Although He Song had told her before

that if she were to be assigned to the battlefield, she must first communicate with him, and He Song would surely make her safer at the front.

But before this incident occurred, An Ning was somewhat skeptical of He Song’s claim.

The same phrase came to mind.

Both were Gold Core Cultivators.

Why couldn’t she do what He Song could?

At that time, An Ning thought that even if He Song really wanted to help, it was probably only because he had a wide network of friends.

Some of these friends were also involved in this battle, perhaps merely to have them look out for her.

And He Song’s friends

were probably Sect Elders.

Although she wasn’t quite sure which Sect He Song’s friends belonged to,

what could a few ordinary Golden Elixir Elders do to look after her?

Both were Gold Core Cultivators.

Could these ordinary Golden Elixir Elders really stay by her side to protect her at all times?

That was impossible.

The battlefield was perilous; it was absolutely impossible for a Gold Core Cultivator to become another Gold Core Cultivator’s bodyguard just because of someone’s request.

So, in An Ning’s mind,

those few ordinary Golden Elixir friends of He Song would probably just come to exchange pleasantries and then impart some life-preserving techniques for the battlefield.

As for anything else,

An Ning had thought it over, but she didn’t believe it was likely.

Because if her friends asked her to look after another Gold Core Cultivator,

she would probably only be able to do just that.

As for anything else,

it would be left to fate.

However,

when she truly informed He Song that she was about to rush to the battlefield to participate in the fight,

and subsequently, He Song also asked her to seek out the Sun Faction’s only True Inheritance Disciple,

An Ning then began to sense something was amiss.

A True Inheritance Disciple of the Sun Faction?

That infamous, ferocious individual known as Master Duan Hun?

Him?

Was he a friend of her elder?

Remaining in Wind Snow Palace, An Ning had learned quite a bit about some of the renowned individuals among the nearby Nascent Soul Upper Sects over the years.

And since Meng Guan was the only True Inheritance Disciple of the Sun Faction and even among the several surrounding Nascent Soul Upper Sects,

she naturally knew of him.

And according to her understanding,

this Master Duan Hun seemed to have started from humble beginnings, initially as a Loose Cultivator and joined the Thick Earth Sect after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Then, after reaching the Golden Core Realm, he joined the Sun Faction.

Throughout Master Duan Hun’s journey,

his notorious reputation also grew increasingly prominent.

From the beginning when he was in the Qi Refining stage, living by the knife’s edge and earning the name Duan Hun,

to later participating in many wars,

which only added more blood to the name Master Duan Hun.

Until now,

the name of Master Duan Hun has been resounding in all directions, and even An Ning had once aspired to become a powerful cultivator like Meng Guan.

However,

now,

her elder had asked her to seek out this Master Duan Hun immediately upon her arrival at Yuhu State Mansion.

Moreover, He Song had said that as long as she met Master Duan Hun,

everything that followed she would naturally come to understand.

Such matters, she couldn’t help but ponder over excessively.

After all, the information implied within He Song’s words was actually quite substantial.

First, why did He Song want her to search for Master Duan Hun?

Second, why did He Song claim that as soon as she met Master Duan Hun, everything that followed she would naturally come to understand?

Third, if He Song hadn’t been close friends with Master Duan Hun, how could he possibly have said such things?

These three points elicited many doubts in An Ning’s mind after she received He Song’s message.

And this doubt persisted until she truly entered Yuhu State Mansion

and met Master Duan Hun in a mansion there.

It was also not until An Ning actually met Meng Guan and Wei Fan,

and heard much about He Song from their mouths,

that she began to understand He Song’s existence more deeply.

It turned out

that He Song and the two Masters before her, Duan Hun and Cheng Fu, indeed held a close friendship.

It turned out

that He Song had asked Duan Hun and Cheng Fu for help, all for her safety, to prevent her from perishing there.

It turned out…

After understanding He Song’s true intention, which was to protect her life,

An Ning quickly heard Meng Guan and Wei Fan’s planning regarding the matter.

Since none of the parties had known each other before, and everything had been manipulated by He Song behind the scenes,

why not outright declare it as such?

In this way, An Ning’s existence would not be so conspicuous.

One must understand

that as the sole True Inheritance Disciple among several Nascent Soul Upper Sects surrounding them, Meng Guan was bound to attract attention from many sides.

He would inevitably be noticed by individuals with ulterior motives.

In that case, An Ning’s future in Wind Snow Palace would hardly be as peaceful for cultivation as before.

Various matters would come knocking at her door,

And even Elder Phantom Snow might directly inquire about them.

These situations

were not what He Song and the three of them hoped to see.

Therefore, the plan of Meng Guan and Wei Fan included not maintaining overly intimate relations openly.

In secret, however, they could share information and strive to survive the great war.

Such a blend of visibility and secrecy just might provide a view of a different landscape.

And should any issue arise, the parties could of course quickly inform each other,

achieving the best of both worlds.

And it was not until this point,

that An Ning’s admiration for He Song rose to a new level.

It turned out

the gap between one Golden Elixir Master and another was far greater than she had previously imagined.

Even if both individuals were Gold Core Cultivators, what one could achieve, the other might find extremely difficult.

The gap between them might even be much greater than all she had witnessed.

Realizing this,

An Ning’s respect for He Song naturally grew stronger.

But at the same time,

she became more curious about the nature of the friendship between He Song, Meng Guan, and Wei Fan.

How exactly had the three of them become acquainted?

Moreover, why had they become good friends?

And how was it that He Song merely had to ask, and Meng Guan and Wei Fan would take her so seriously?

Before this, An Ning had never imagined that Master Duan Hun would hold her in such high regard.

Such treatment

naturally made An Ning curious about the relationship between the three.

However,

given that she was still on the battlefield, she did not delve too deeply into it.

She merely asked a few questions in addition to thanking He Song.

Nevertheless,

regarding An Ning’s curiosity,

He Song did not elaborate.

The relationship between him, Meng Guan, and Wei Fan only required a bit of inquiry at the place of their rise to become known.
