At this distance, it would have been quite easy for them to support He Song.
Under such circumstances, after realizing this point, He Song naturally had his answer as to whether the two could swiftly come to his aid in times of danger.
After becoming aware that his safety was more secure than previously anticipated,
a fleeting expression of satisfaction flashed across He Song’s face.
However, even so, He Song still didn’t let down his guard. He remained highly vigilant, constantly extending his divine sense to survey his surroundings to prevent any sneak attacks.
In the distance, the great battle raged on.
If the battleground were to shift here, He Song would undoubtedly need to leave this place at the first opportunity.
Naturally, He Song was also unrelenting in his vigilance toward the external environment.
In this manner,
as days passed by,
in the midst of the prolonged wait, He Song heard a scream.
Then,
there was an uproar.
Cheers, like the roar of the ocean or the bellowing of mountains, came pouring in from all sides into He Song’s ears.
The ongoing large-scale battle, although the Locking God Cultivator had already been contained within a relatively confined area by the five Gold Core Masters,
the group besieging amongst the Golden Elixir Masters hadn’t led to significant damage within the Biyue Prefecture.
But, in He Song’s view, even a minor destruction, which appeared frighteningly extensive to other cultivators.
At this moment, at the site where the Locking God Sect Gold Core Master died,
the area within a ten-mile radius was completely destroyed, various pavilions and towers having already vanished.
In their place, various charred remains, solid ice, molten lava, and boulders, etc. can be found.
These materials covered an exceedingly broad area, practically enveloping these ten miles entirely.
Within this range, whether it was various types of housing or the multitude of shops and pavilions, all had been destroyed.
Keep in mind
that every inch of land within the Biyue Prefecture has an owner.
The properties upon the land, the many shops, as well as pavilions, they too all have owners.
The owners of these properties had suffered great losses out of the blue, and naturally, there were aftermath matters that needed to be addressed.
And at this moment, as the chief culprit was slain,
the owners of these properties, as well as the remaining cultivators and mortals, naturally all burst into cheers.
With the death of this person,
their lives, as well as the safety of their properties, were finally safeguarded.
That was the true reason behind their cheers.
Listening to the cheering sounds from the outside world, echoing like a tsunami, He Song’s expression remained calm.
Still, his gaze turned towards the place where the battle had occurred.
There,
the five Gold Core Masters involved in besieging the Locking God Sect Gold Core Master had all arrived.
Some were using the Soul Searching Skill, hoping to see some other information from the memories of the now-deceased Gold Core Cultivator.
Others were cleaning up the battlefield, treating the deceased Gold Core Cultivator’s possessions as spoils of war to be kept for later distribution.
There were also those who were casting spells to completely erase traces on the battlefield, and they swiftly dispatched personnel to maintain order within the Biyue Prefecture.
He Song’s gaze swept across, and all these scenes came into view.
However, before He Song could feel poignant,
a sigh came from beside him.
“Alas, the Golden Core Path is so daunting, yet I never imagined that after overcoming its arduous journey, one would end up meeting such a fate.”
“Truly… Pitiful, lamentable.”
“Such Gold Core Cultivators, surrounded and killed by cultivators from a hostile sect, are rarely seen in normal times.”
“I just wonder how the Locking God Sect will retaliate afterwards.”
“It seems, this Biyue Prefecture is no longer as safe as it used to be.”
Days before, when the battle had just begun, Master Luo Jing, who had already been in contact with He Song and had come here to observe the battle with him, couldn’t help but express their emotions.
With Master Luo Jing here, True Monarch Yun Jing was naturally in attendance as well.
Days ago, when both knew of He Song’s presence here, they came together to this place to watch the battle with He Song.
Now, as days passed and everything settled down, their emotions naturally followed.
After hearing Master Luo Jing’s sentiments,
True Monarch Yun Jing beside him lightly nodded in agreement.
The Golden Core Path, fraught with peril.
A single misstep could mean utter defeat.
In such a context, every cultivator who successfully traverses the Golden Core Path can indeed be considered outstanding among their peers.
But who would have thought.
An elite who had stepped into the Golden Core Realm was, on this day, mercilessly besieged and slain.
Not only did he die a bitter death here, but also his Golden Elixir was intercepted by the four Golden Elixir Masters who were well-prepared, depriving him of any chance to cultivate once more.
Such an end is indeed tragic and lamentable.
Especially under the circumstances where both Master Luo Jing and True Monarch Yun Jing had reached the Golden Core Realm.
A sense of shared sorrow and fear was quickly spreading in their hearts.
If this person could be besieged and killed here.
Then what about them?
As such a thought flickered through their minds, a trace of worry gradually emerged in the hearts of Luo Jing and Yun Jing.
However, just as the two harbored such thoughts and even felt that Biyue Prefecture was no longer safe,
He Song also entertained a similar idea.
This Biyue Prefecture.
It seems it is truly no longer a place to stay for long.
A Golden Elixir Master from the God Locking Sect being killed here means the sect will undoubtedly launch a furious retaliation.
When that time comes, whether the Sun Faction can hold Biyue Prefecture in the face of warfare on two fronts is uncertain.
Of course, as the Sun Faction and God Locking Sect are currently not far apart in strength, the outcome of this upcoming battle is also unknown to He Song.
But he did know.
That Biyue Prefecture is no longer safe from this day forth.
At the same time, having listened to Master Luo Jing, a look of agreement flashed across He Song’s face as well.
“Fellow Daoist speaks the truth, the event has concluded, but the ensuing ripples are just beginning.”
“I’m afraid I will leave this place in the next few days.”
“Otherwise, once the people from the God Locking Sect arrive, I fear it will be too late to leave.”
“The two of you, as monks of the Treasure Pavilion, should not face any threats, yet I urge you to consider carefully.”
“I shall take my leave first.”
After bowing to Luo Jing and Yun Jing, He Song didn’t go to meet the five Golden Elixir Masters. Instead, he turned and left the vicinity of the Purple Light Pavilion.
Neither Luo Jing nor Yun Jing said anything, merely watching He Song depart.
It was only after He Song had completely disappeared from their view.
That Master Luo Jing and True Monarch Yun Jing exchanged a glance and, with heavy hearts, headed toward the Treasure Pavilion together.
However, what decisions they would make next were known only to the heavens.
After leaving the vicinity of the Purple Light Pavilion.
He Song quickly returned to his temporary residence within Biyue Prefecture.
When He Song arrived,
Meng Guan and Wei Fan soon came there as well.
After setting up two Arrays in the mansion that enveloped He Song’s residence completely, shielding against prying eyes,
He Song, Meng Guan, and Wei Fan finally sat down together.
However, the atmosphere today differed slightly from a few days ago.
A few days ago, when the three met, Meng Guan and Wei Fan, concerned about the peculiarities within the Purple Light Pavilion, occasionally showed a vigilant look in their eyes.
Having fought and struggled on the battlefield for decades, they had always cherished their own lives from the beginning to the end.
This caution was the fundamental reason they had survived so many years on the battlefield.
But today,
Having witnessed firsthand the death of the Golden Elixir Master from the God Locking Sect,
Both Meng Guan and Wei Fan felt a great sense of relief in their hearts.
The vigilant look naturally faded from their faces,
And in this moment, both their bodies and minds thoroughly relaxed.
Sitting across from each other in He Song’s mansion,
The three exchanged glances.
Eventually, it was Meng Guan who broke the silence.
