Chapter 1587: Chapter 995: Eavesdropping_2

Therefore, when He Song spread out his perception.

The conversations between numerous Yin Soul Sect disciples and elders instantly surfaced in his mind.

After sifting and organizing these conversations, He Song began to develop a certain understanding of this Yin Soul Sect, where Ghost Soul resided.

Unfortunately.

Within a short time, He Song hadn’t gleaned any valuable information from the disciples’ and elders’ discussions.

Most Yin Soul Sect disciples remained deeply immersed in their fear.

The sudden influx of so many Nascent Soul cultivators had left many disciples dead at the hands of these Nascent Soul demons in recent days.

Naturally, hearing such news made the disciples of the Yin Soul Sect terrified.

Moreover, they lacked the strength to resist.

Faced with these seemingly amicable Nascent Soul old demons who could take their lives at any moment,

disciples of the Yin Soul Sect, whose cultivation levels were at most Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, could only swallow their anger in silence.

They didn’t even dare to mutter complaints in private.

Because they understood.

With just a slight use of their divine sense, Nascent Soul cultivators could easily eavesdrop on them.

If their words were overheard, they would likely face immediate risk of death.

Under such oppressive pressure.

The disciples of the Yin Soul Sect, living in constant fear of death, naturally began venting their terror onto those who were even weaker.

And so, those disciples in the Qi Refining stage and Foundation Establishment Early Stage began to suffer tremendously.

This situation, however, failed to catch the attention of the upper ranks of the Yin Soul Sect.

The deaths of ordinary Yin Soul Sect disciples didn’t seem to bother them much.

It appeared that the sect master and elders of the Yin Soul Sect were completely indifferent to it.

Each day, they gathered around the Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator from the Soul Locking Sect.

Submitting to him entirely.

Obeying his every command.

Yet, as He Song continued to eavesdrop.

He occasionally managed to overhear other pieces of information from these elders and the sect master of the Yin Soul Sect.

For instance.

Those Nascent Soul demons who had been dispatched externally to carry out various missions.

Every time they completed a task, they would return here to receive new ones.

During these interactions, they naturally had to meet with the sect master or elders of the Yin Soul Sect.

During these occasions, He Song also managed to hear detailed information about many missions.

Some tasks assigned to the Nascent Soul demons involved guarding the Righteous and Demon Border.

Other tasks required them to infiltrate the area of influence of the Righteous Tao to gather intelligence.

There were also missions aimed at fostering insiders within the Righteous Tao.

All of these matters.

Point to the fact that the diabolism faction is gearing up for a large-scale invasion of the Righteous Tao’s domain.

The question is.

Just how much longer will these preparations take?

Nonetheless.

While He Song continued his daily eavesdropping on external happenings and gained more insights into the movements of the diabolism faction.

A large number of Yin Soul Sect disciples were once again mobilized, summoning all the Nascent Soul demons who hadn’t been dispatched elsewhere for missions, to gather in the sect’s main hall.

Except for Ghost Soul, every demon was invited to the Yin Soul Sect’s main hall.

At this moment.

Not being summoned, He Song’s expression twitched slightly.

It seems his tactic of delaying time by claiming a breakthrough in cultivation was indeed successful.

Naturally, the Soul Locking Sect cultivators likely assumed that a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator held more value than one at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Thus, they turned a blind eye to his current seclusion for breaking through a realm.

Additionally, part of this likely stemmed from what He Song had mentioned before entering seclusion.

In this way.

He Song became the sole Nascent Soul cultivator among these demons who hadn’t yet been dispatched elsewhere on missions.

With this in mind, He Song quickly extended his perception toward the Yin Soul Sect’s main hall.

Perception, unlike divine sense,

couldn’t be detected, even by Nascent Soul cultivators.

Thus, He Song didn’t worry about his eavesdropping being discovered.

As He Song’s perception spread.

The sounds within the Yin Soul Sect’s main hall swiftly emerged in his mind.

At this moment, besides He Song, all the Nascent Soul demons had gathered here.

The Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator from the Soul Locking Sect quickly began delivering instructions.

He assigned numerous missions to the demons present in the hall.

Unfortunately, He Song couldn’t see what tasks were being assigned.

However, judging from the sharp intakes of breath heard throughout the hall, it was clear.

These missions were far from simple.

Even for Nascent Soul cultivators, completing them wouldn’t be easy.

Realizing this.

He Song hesitated briefly.

Yet ultimately, he decided to let Ghost Soul remain in seclusion.

At the very least, while Ghost Soul was still cultivating, He Song could continue to gather information regarding the diabolism faction from within the Yin Soul Sect.

Of course, if Ghost Soul were to encounter an extraordinarily difficult mission upon coming out of seclusion,

He Song was prepared to reclaim the puppet immediately.

He had no intention of letting the Ghost Soul—painstakingly refined and upgraded at great expense—be destroyed by others.

If completing the mission seemed utterly hopeless,

He Song would naturally reclaim the puppet. Refining another one would be far preferable to losing it entirely.

After all, judging by He Song’s estimations, the missions assigned to these diabolism cultivators this time around appeared far more challenging compared to those from before.

As for Ghost Soul?

Ghost Soul had missed out on the previous batch of tasks and missed the current round as well.

So the likelihood of him ending up with even more difficult tasks during the next distribution grew exponentially.

Of course.

All of this was merely He Song’s speculation.

Things might not end up as dire.

Ghost Soul could even find himself praised after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Mid Stage.

Both the Soul Locking Sect cultivator and the Yin Soul Sect’s sect master could potentially commend Ghost Soul for his accomplishment.

Either of these scenarios, if they came to pass, might significantly enhance Ghost Soul’s safety.

With such praise.

These two figures might choose to protect Ghost Soul, ensuring he wasn’t assigned to suicidal missions.

With such praise.

They might even seek to establish goodwill with Ghost Soul.

However, all of this remained conjecture.

Once Ghost Soul completed his seclusion and successfully stepped into the Nascent Soul Mid Stage,

The situation awaiting him would remain uncertain.

As He Song’s thoughts raced through his mind.

Outside.

Within the main hall of the Yin Soul Sect.

Once all the cultivators had received their assignments, they swiftly transformed into streaks of light, flying off in various directions.

But as these Nascent Soul demons departed.

The Yin Soul Sect was suddenly awash in festivity.

Numerous disciples danced and celebrated, as if relieved to see off a group of plagues.

Indeed, the occasion was worth rejoicing.

With the departure of those Nascent Soul cultivators who wielded the power of life and death over them, their lives would return to normalcy.

As for Ghost Soul?

Not only was Ghost Soul in seclusion,

Even if he had emerged, there was little reason for them to fear.

The Yin Soul Sect elder who brought Ghost Soul to them had already publicly conveyed that Ghost Soul wasn’t easily killed.

Thus, the dark cloud that had loomed over these Yin Soul Sect disciples dissipated entirely.

They no longer had to worry about accidentally angering a Nascent Soul demon and swiftly facing soul extraction and refining.

Still, even as the Yin Soul Sect quickly settled back into tranquility.

The Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator from the Soul Locking Sect remained in the sect.

He continued to sit in the Yin Soul Sect as its guardian.

Evidently planning to stay stationed here.
