Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

By then, even regret would be too late.

Thinking this, He Song’s feet moved swiftly, as he headed towards the Divine Thunder Array he had previously set up outside of the Biyue Prefecture.

Every time He Song arrived at a location, he would leave himself an escape route.

This time was no exception.

This Celestial God Thunder Array was the escape route He Song had prepared for this occasion.

After dismantling the previously set Celestial God Thunder Array, He Song concealed his aura and quickly distanced himself from the Biyue Prefecture.

However, as He Song’s figure dashed away from the Green Moon Immortal State,

he received a transmission.

This transmission was from the hands of Kangning True Monarch.

Within the message, he inquired about He Song’s current whereabouts and why he wasn’t in his mansion.

To this,

After reading the message, He Song put it into his storage bag and did not respond.

Kangning True Monarch’s transmission and its content made He Song realize something clear in his heart.

His previous speculations had not been wrong.

When the attempt to entice had failed, Kangning True Monarch would naturally think of intimidation.

That’s why, after He Song had delayed in replying, he sought out He Song’s residence, wanting to have a face-to-face chat with He Song.

Of course, it was impossible for Kangning True Monarch to visit He Song’s mansion alone.

Behind him, there were likely four other Gold Core Masters following.

Under such circumstances, had He Song not fled quickly, he might have already been trapped inside the Biyue Prefecture and forced to participate in this battle.

The reason for Kangning True Monarch’s transmission this time.

Probably because he had gone to He Song’s residence with the other Gold Core Masters, yet found no trace of He Song in the mansion and did not sense He Song’s aura, hence the transmission.

This transmission was likely Kangning True Monarch’s last attempt to probe.

If He Song were still to respond, perhaps he and the other four Gold Core Masters at his side would swiftly arrive at He Song’s current location and take He Song back to the Biyue Prefecture.

Unfortunately,

Upon receiving this transmission, He Song merely glanced at it before putting it into his storage bag.

As for replying?

Replying was out of the question.

Rather than wasting his mana replying, it was better to quickly distance himself from the Biyue Prefecture.

In this way, He Song himself would be somewhat safer.

After all, the experts of the God Locking Sect were likely already on their way to the Biyue Prefecture.

And so,

He Song continued on his way.

And just as He Song had traveled for a while longer,

another transmission from Kangning True Monarch appeared in He Song’s hands.

Within the transmission,

Kangning True Monarch’s tone was gentle, repeatedly questioning whether anything had happened to He Song or if there was any misunderstanding toward him.

He urged He Song to quickly return to the Biyue Prefecture, stating the Master Guardian had decided to reward He Song.

At this moment, the reward awaited He Song’s return to the Biyue Prefecture to fall into his hands.

Moreover, a reward from the Sun Faction was still on its way, which would surely belong to He Song as well.

In response,

He Song, while continuing on his way, swiftly scanned through Kangning True Monarch’s transmission, but sneered internally.

Did Kangning True Monarch really take other Gold Core Cultivators for fools?

Or perhaps,

he thought that this bait-and-switch tactic could still affect He Song?

The rewards previously mentioned by Kangning True Monarch from the Sun Faction, He Song had already disregarded, let alone a mere reward from the Master Guardian of the Biyue Prefecture.

However, after thinking it over, a conjecture flashed through He Song’s mind.

Perhaps, at this moment, Kangning True Monarch wasn’t expecting to use this transmission to make him look forward to the reward.

It was rather because He Song was the one he had contacted.

But when he arrived at He Song’s mansion with the other four Gold Core Masters, they found the residence empty.

Under such circumstances,

The other four Gold Core Masters likely had their own thoughts, which He Song could guess at.

They might believe that Kangning True Monarch had pocketed part of the reward, which angered He Song into leaving in a huff.

They may even suspect that Kangning True Monarch had a prior relationship with He Song and let He Song escape in a moment of soft-heartedness.

These four Gold Core Masters must be convinced that Kangning True Monarch was somehow implicated in this affair.

After all, it was Kangning True Monarch who had made the contact.

Yet now, when the five of them arrived, He Song was already gone.

Kangning True Monarch claiming that this had nothing to do with him likely convinced few.

Under such circumstances,

Kangning True Monarch surely already regretted sending that transmission earlier, which had alerted He Song.

To prove his innocence,

Kangning True Monarch had to keep sending transmissions to He Song, revealing the plan previously discussed by the five to keep He Song in place, laying it all out once more.

His purpose, naturally, was to show the other four Gold Core Masters,

It wasn’t that he, Kangning True Monarch, had done something else, but that He Song simply didn’t care about it.

Only then could Kangning True Monarch prove his innocence.

Upon reflecting,

He Song thought for a moment, and an idea instantly crossed his mind.

If you are unkind,

Don’t blame me for being unjust.
