Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 390: 382: Realizing One’s Mistake and Correcting It

Being able to serve as a Sub-Pavilion Master in Treasure Pavilion, even if he isn’t a core member of Treasure Pavilion, he is like He Song who joined halfway through.

Perhaps he could get to know many Foundation Establishment Masters within decades in the Treasure Pavilion.

These connections could later be used by Xu Jie to hunt him down.

Besides that.

If Xu Jie is a core member of Treasure Pavilion, nurtured from a young age as an elite within the Treasure Pavilion.

Then there must be some backstage support behind him.

Just like the Thick Earth Sect’s elite members, they all have their own masters.

When someone within a sect is in danger and seeks help from within the sect.

His fellow apprentices would inevitably come to help.

His master, as well as the master’s master, would also come to help.

He Song didn’t know whether Xu Jie had any Ancestor Masters.

But, he definitely didn’t want to get involved in situations where the younger ones get attacked, and the older ones come to the rescue.

As an everlasting being, He Song was unwilling to face those old monsters that have been cultivating for hundreds or thousands of years before his own cultivation reached a certain level.

Therefore, after offending someone, killing them immediately, crushing their bones and scattering their ashes, leaving no trace, is what He Song needs to do.

Not knowing the specifics about Xu Jie, nor whether he has any master or high-level cultivators.

Just wipe him out before he can ask for help from the outside world.

After all, if he doesn’t take action quickly, Xu Jie will inevitably not let him off easy after finding out about it.

In that case, it’s better to take advantage of his unpreparedness and kill him directly.

It could save a lot of trouble.

With various thoughts flashing through his mind, He Song’s eyes on Master Lie Feng gradually became “gentle.”

“Not bad, since you have repented and presented the real culprit, I can consider sparing your life.”

With a trace of a “gentle” smile, He Song nodded at Master Lie Feng, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

Then, He Song put his hands behind his back, but the mana formulas in his hands never dissipated.

If Master Lie Feng made any sudden moves, He Song would be able to react instantly and control the Golden Elixir Array to kill him.

Although Master Lie Feng seemed to have yielded, humans are hard to predict, so He Song naturally needed to be cautious.

Of course, at this moment, He Song and Master Lie Feng were both in the Golden Elixir Array, and although they were not far apart, He Song’s Divine Thunder Array had a concealment effect.

So even though they were close, Master Lie Feng had no idea where He Song was.

Even He Song’s voice sounded as if it came from all directions, filled with pressure.

Under such circumstances, it goes without saying that Master Lie Feng had no idea where He Song was.

Even if he had used some unknown means to locate He Song, He Song would be able to react quickly and kill him.

The reason He Song didn’t disperse the mana formula in his hand was because of this.

Inside the Divine Thunder Array.

Upon hearing He Song’s satisfied words.

And seeing that there was no divine thunder flashing in the thundercloud above his head, a flash of joy crossed Master Lie Feng’s face.

But then, it stiffened.

The joy on his face faded slightly.

Because he understood He Song’s words.

Like He Song, he had started from the bottom and fought his way up to his current position.

How could he not understand He Song’s words?

“I can consider sparing your life.”

The meaning of this sentence couldn’t be clearer.

Death.

He would definitely still die.

But he still had some value.

He could wait to die later, not now.

Such a dark message could only deceive those who are completely ignorant of the evil side of human nature.

For an old hand like Master Lie Feng, who had risen from the bottom and traveled the Martial World for decades, he understood He Song’s intention immediately.

Moreover, he quickly realized.

If it weren’t for his slight value, he would have been long dead, and He Song wouldn’t even have given him a chance to speak.

Leaving him now was just to lure out the real mastermind behind the scenes, so that He Song could eliminate any future threats.

So, after understanding everything in his heart, although Master Lie Feng felt desolate, he immediately spoke up.

“Thank you, Sir, thank you, Sir! I have a plan that can help Sir kill the murderer and ask Sir for permission!”

At this moment, Master Lie Feng’s hatred for Xu Jie had gone through the roof.

If it weren’t for Xu Jie spreading false news, he wouldn’t have brought three Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to cause trouble for He Song.

If it weren’t for Xu Jie spreading false news, he wouldn’t be in such a desperate situation.

If it weren’t for Xu Jie spreading false news, he wouldn’t have abandoned his position as a family elder and committed this evil deed.

If it weren’t for Xu Jie spreading false news, he wouldn’t have harbored greed and attacked He Song.

However, what’s done is done.

Although he had immense regret in his heart, he knew it was too late.

So, knowing he had almost no chance of surviving, he thought, why not… shouldn’t you, Xu Jie, the instigator, die with me?

As for letting Xu Jie off the hook and allowing him to escape this ordeal-

it never even crossed Master Lie Feng’s mind for a moment.

His current predicament is all thanks to Xu Jie.

How could he possibly let Xu Jie go?

In Master Lie Feng’s mind, he even felt that-

As long as Xu Jie died before him, he could be satisfied.

As for He Song, the one who killed both of them, Master Lie Feng couldn’t even bear any grudge against him.

After all.

He was just selling something peacefully when he was suddenly betrayed and then attacked by four Foundation Establishment cultivators. If it weren’t for his formidable skills, he would have died on the spot.

To kill the attackers in such a situation-

even if he, Master Lie Feng, were one of the four attacking Foundation Establishment cultivators, he could only sigh at his great strength.

Also, knowing that he had little hope of surviving, Master Lie Feng’s hatred for Xu Jie naturally reached its peak.

If he was going to die, then so would you, Xu Jie!

As for what Master Lie Feng was thinking-

He Song didn’t know.

But seeing Master Lie Feng’s hateful gaze directed towards the direction of the Eight-vein Immortal City, he felt a little surprised.

This Master Lie Feng could actually understand his dark words.

It seemed he wasn’t a mere wine bag and rice bag.

It was a pity that he met him in his later years.

After thinking about it, He Song eventually nodded and said.

“Alright, if you can lure him into the array, I can go to your family and take away one of your clan members to preserve a bloodline for your branch.”
