Chapter 689: 546
Thus,
A moment later.
When He Song returned once again,
He was accompanied by five formidable Golden Elixir Masters.
Among these five Golden Elixir Masters, two were the Sun Faction’s Master Guardians stationed there.
Upon hearing He Song’s report, and being informed of the peculiar situation within the Purple Light Pavilion, they quickly decided to accompany He Song to this location.
As Master Guardians of the Biyue Prefecture, the suspected presence of Demon Cultivators within the Prefecture naturally aroused their vigilance.
Moreover, given He Song’s status as a Golden Elixir Master, they had no reason to doubt him.
However, they took some precautions,
Just in case the information provided by He Song was inaccurate or incomplete.
The other three Golden Elixir Masters among the five were from the three major Golden Core Families within the Biyue Prefecture.
They were the precaution taken by the two Master Guardians.
When they decided to follow He Song to the Purple Light Pavilion to investigate, they had these three Golden Elixir Masters accompany them.
According to their thinking, two Golden Elixir Masters could be vulnerable to ambush if alone.
But if five Golden Elixir Masters gathered together, they would naturally fear most situations less.
The possibility of five Golden Elixir Masters encountering danger at the same time is rather rare in the Cultivation World.
If such a thing were to happen, it’s likely that Green Moon Immortal State would change hands as well.
When He Song arrived outside the Purple Light Pavilion with five Golden Elixir Masters in tow, silent as before,
Everyone except He Song,
Cast their gaze upon him.
He Song was well aware of their scrutiny.
Since it was he who detected something amiss here,
And had informed them of the situation,
It was naturally time for him to take action and demonstrate the anomaly to these five Golden Elixir Masters by force.
Therefore, seeing everyone’s gazes turn to him, He Song’s expression remained unchanged.
However, his body was instantly enveloped in a light barrier.
This was the shield generated by the activated Meteorite Bead to protect He Song from threats.
The Meteorite Bead, a Lower-grade Spiritual Tool, was He Song’s treasure for protection.
At the same time, He Song casually flipped his hand,
And a small seal appeared in his grasp.
A Lower-grade Spiritual Tool, the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake Seal.
As the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake Seal appeared in He Song’s hand,
Threads of electric light also began to emerge around him.
As a rich Golden Core aura began to permeate the surroundings,
The other five Golden Elixir Masters looking at He Song also had a slight change of expression and each summoned their spiritual artifacts to protect themselves.
Only after that did they turn their gaze back upon He Song.
However, this time there was a hint of hesitation in their eyes.
Seeing He Song’s readiness,
Could it be that he intended to make his move right within the Immortal State Mansion?
The might of a Gold Core Cultivator’s move is not to be underestimated; while it might not destroy heavens and earth, it could still cause significant damage to an Immortal State Mansion.
If He Song were allowed to act here, it was likely that the Biyue Prefecture would face a great catastrophe.
Qi Condensation Cultivators, and even Mortals, would die or be injured in great numbers.
If such an incident were indeed to occur, not only would He Song be hunted down by the Sun Faction’s cultivators, but these Golden Elixir Masters—who followed him but did not stop him—would also be punished by the Sun Faction.
Their hesitation was in fact about whether or not to prevent He Song from acting.
But, just as the five Golden Elixir Masters beside He Song hesitated, torn and undecided,
He Song made his bold move.
With a simple gesture,
The Purple Lightning Spirit Snake Seal, which was originally spinning smoothly in He Song’s palm like a small seal, suddenly swelled against the wind and rapidly grew immensely large.
As the enormous Purple Lightning Spirit Snake Seal appeared in mid-air, the serpent’s spine slowly began to travel across the surface of the seal.
A breath of spiritual pressure unique to Golden Core cultivators also instantly spread out in all directions.
With the swift expansion of this tremendous spiritual pressure,
a large number of low-ranked cultivators, as well as mortals, were intimidated by this immense force, trembling in fear, their livers and guts nearly splitting with terror.
However, at the same moment that they involuntarily looked up to the sky, their hearts filled with dread,
with a mere thought from He Song,
the serpentine spine, originally coiling atop the seal, violently detached from the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake Seal and headed towards the Purple Light Pavilion below.
When the skeleton of the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake wrapped around the Purple Light Pavilion like a living creature, enclosing the entire building within its body,
the numerous arrays set up inside the Purple Light Pavilion were violently shattered one after another at that very moment.
Under He Song’s control, the skeleton of the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake continued to destroy the arrays set up within the Purple Light Pavilion.
The Purple Lightning Spirit Snake, whose cultivation had reached the Golden Core Realm before its death, maintained a level of strength within the Golden Core tier even after its remains were refined into the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake Seal and controlled by He Song.
With its Golden Core level strength, breaking through the arrays set up by an inn was effortless.
However,
just as He Song continued to manipulate the skeleton of the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake to destroy the arrays within the Purple Light Pavilion,
at a certain moment,
the previously unimpeded journey of breaking through the arrays suddenly encountered obstruction.
At the very heart of the Purple Light Pavilion, an array glittered with light, firmly blocking the skeleton of the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake from entering.
But it was precisely this obstruction that made He Song’s eyes narrow and his entire body silently step back a few paces, successfully retreating behind the crowd.
At the same time,
the other five Golden Elixir Masters who were keeping a close watch on He Song, fearing that he would have the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake Seal wreak havoc within Biyue Prefecture, also had their eyes light up at this moment.
When He Song silently withdrew the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake Seal,
the five Golden Elixir Masters who had been in front of He Song had already silently arrived inside the Purple Light Pavilion, beside the array that had blocked the Purple Lightning Spirit Snake Seal from proceeding further.
Looking at the unknown array in front of them that had stopped He Song from continuing his actions,
the two Master Guardians exchanged glances, each seeing a deep excitement in the other’s eyes.
Yet in their gazes there was also a hint of admiration for He Song.
Were it not for He Song,
they definitely wouldn’t have known that there was indeed something unusual here.
Were it not for He Song,
they definitely wouldn’t be here at this very moment, soon to completely root out the mystery of this place.
Meanwhile, their looks towards He Song also became exceptionally cordial.
If it weren’t the time for reminiscing,
perhaps the two would have already taken He Song’s hand, calling each other brothers.
This great act of delivering merit to them had made their affection for He Song skyrocket.
At this very moment, the Purple Light Pavilion, already completely surrounded by five Golden Elixir Masters, and the array within the depths of the Pavilion, in their view, had turned into an immensely huge credit.
In the Cultivation World, although there are many inns, the level of arrays set up in them is generally not high.
For the lesser ones, like those in the Immortal Pavilion, there are at most just Miniature Spirit Gathering Arrays.
For the better ones, like those in Immortal City, there is basically just one Miniature Spirit Gathering Array in each room, along with a small Concealment Array.
For even better ones, like those in Immortal State, inside the Purple Light Pavilion as seen now, there is basically only one Small Spirit Gathering Array, plus a Small Concealment Array.
In the room where He Song, Meng Guan, and Wei Fan stayed within the Purple Light Pavilion, there was indeed a Small Spirit Gathering Array and a Small Concealment Array.
Beyond that, there was nothing else.
THe configuration of arrays in these inns, although not entirely accurate,
in inns that are specifically used for breakthroughs in cultivation, the internal arrays could also undergo significant changes.
But they are roughly like that.
There won’t be ordinary inns that set up defense arrays with extremely strong defensive power.
Therefore, when an array capable of blocking a Golden Elixir Master’s casual strike appeared within the inn called Purple Light Pavilion,
both He Song and the other five Golden Elixir Masters realized one thing.
