Chapter 1588: Chapter 996: Everything is Ready

He Song did not understand why an accomplished Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivator like this man was stationed here.

Yet, upon observing this point, He Song secretly extended his perception continuously, attempting to discern if there were any hidden secrets within the Yin Soul Sect.

This individual hailed from the Deity Transforming Holy Land, the Soul Locking Sect.

And he had been dispatched here as a vanguard.

Thus.

This person was surely no ordinary figure.

But then, what was within the Yin Soul Sect that could warrant someone as extraordinary as him to remain stationed here?

According to what He Song knew.

The location of the Yin Soul Sect was neither a central region nor a place of strategic importance for military conflict.

Nor was it a frontline command post.

Given this, the prolonged stay of this person also sowed a seed of doubt in He Song’s heart.

The location of the Yin Soul Sect.

Must undoubtedly harbor some kind of secret.

He just didn’t know whether this secret was some treasure or something else entirely.

However, after careful consideration, He Song ultimately ruled out the possibility that this place contained any treasures.

Because the relationship between the Yin Soul Sect and the Soul Locking Sect was likely comparable to that between the Sun Faction and the Nine Yang Sect.

In such a scenario, if there were truly any precious treasures in the location of the Yin Soul Sect,

The other cultivators of the Soul Locking Sect would have long since taken them. How could they have been left until now, awaiting the arrival of this battle?

After He Song ruled out this speculation.

A new conjecture naturally arose in his heart.

Perhaps.

The location of the Yin Soul Sect was not as simple as it seemed.

Perhaps this place harbored other secrets.

For instance, it might serve as a hidden base for the Soul Locking Sect, and the Yin Soul Sect could possibly be protected by a powerful Great Array.

For instance, there might be other highly formidable Soul Locking Sect cultivators hiding within the Yin Soul Sect.

And it was precisely because of these reasons that the Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivator from the Soul Locking Sect had remained stationed here.

Upon realizing this.

He Song’s actions immediately became even more cautious.

Although he wanted to investigate the secrets within the Yin Soul Sect, with no clear leads, he needed to tread carefully.

After all, as matters stood concerning the Ghost Soul.

To outsiders, it seemed as though he was on the verge of breaking through during seclusive cultivation.

If something were to happen now,

Others would immediately suspect.

That this breakthrough was merely a delaying tactic.

At that point,

Even if the Ghost Soul wasn’t besieged and killed,

He would surely have to abandon his mission to remain in the demonic path and gather intelligence.

Such stakes gave He Song no choice but to act prudently.

Nevertheless.

It was precisely due to He Song’s caution,

That his subsequent investigations yielded no real insight into what hidden secrets might exist within the Yin Soul Sect.

On this matter.

He Song hesitated for a while, and ultimately withdrew most of his focus, leaving only a small part to continue probing.

His primary attention, however, He Song redirected inward.

He resumed his intensive study of the Mysterious Yellow Artifact Refining Technique.

The Mysterious Yellow Artifact Refining Technique truly lived up to its reputation as a formidable artifact refining technique capable of imparting cultivators with the method to craft Taoist Artifacts.

Even after years of study, the knowledge contained within this technique still overflowed, allowing He Song to continually absorb it and transform it into his own nourishment.

Propelling He Song’s artifact refining skills to even greater heights.

However.

As time passed.

While He Song was delving deeper into the Mysterious Yellow Refining Technique,

His artifact refining skills steadily advanced, yet external affairs continued to unfold unabated.

While the Ghost Soul was situated within the Yin Soul Sect, outwardly claiming to be in seclusive cultivation to break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage—as part of his pretense to better serve the Holy Sect—

Numerous demonic Nascent Soul cultivators began to carry out frequent actions on the Righteous and Demon Border.

One day, a Nascent Soul Upper Sect from the Righteous path was destroyed; the next, several Golden Core Sects were eradicated.

Such events persisted without pause.

Even the Sun Faction, to which Meng Guan belonged, was besieged by a group of Nascent Soul cultivators.

Fortunately.

Though Meng Guan’s individual strength was exceptional.

And given the cordial relations between the Nascent Soul Upper Sects surrounding the Sun Faction and the Sun Faction itself,

When Meng Guan faced the siege, several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Righteous path swiftly arrived to provide reinforcements, driving back the demonic forces entirely.

Thus, the Sun Faction narrowly escaped annihilation.

This matter.

He Song only later learned from Elder Phantom Snow.

That day, Elder Phantom Snow was among the Nascent Souls who went to offer their aid.

However, Meng Guan, after experiencing the incident, didn’t seem to take it to heart; he didn’t even bother to mention the event to He Song.

When He Song asked him about it later.

Meng Guan merely remarked that it was merely a few demonic Nascent Soul cultivators, not worth his attention.

That day, even if no other Righteous path Nascent Souls had come to his aid, he would have ensured that the Sun Faction’s cultivators escaped via the Teleportation Array.

Moreover, the encirclement by those demonic Nascent Souls didn’t give him a sense of mortal peril.

In fact, following that incident, his cultivation experienced a notable breakthrough.

As a result, even if several demonic Nascent Soul cultivators were to attack again, he and the disciples and elders of the Sun Faction would undoubtedly escape unscathed.

Faced with Meng Guan’s words.

He Song was left speechless.

And he quickly sent a message to Wei Fan, informing him of this matter as well.

Subsequently, under the earnest persuasion of both He Song and Wei Fan, Meng Guan eventually heightened his vigilance and fully activated the Sun Faction’s Sect Protection Array.
