Chapter 721: Chapter 562 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey_2
Previously, the turbulence in Biyue Prefecture was caused by the fact that, aside from the Treasure Pavilion, there was not a single Golden Elixir Master within the state mansion.
And the Treasure Pavilion is a power known by everyone to not meddle in external affairs.
Under such circumstances, the previous disturbances within Biyue Prefecture were naturally not something incomprehensible.
Of course, the current Treasure Pavilion, even if Biyue Prefecture were to face turbulence once more, was still unaffected by it.
As time went by,
Master Luo Jing gradually relayed to He Song the details and context of this matter.
Previously, why the Golden Elixir Master of the Locking God Sect suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Previously, why the Golden Elixir Master of the Sun Faction had not appeared for such a long time.
Previously, the people who gathered to plunder Biyue Prefecture, who exactly were they?
And so on and so forth.
Master Luo Jing told He Song everything after the dust had settled.
And He Song, after reading the letter from Master Luo Jing, also came to have a sufficient understanding of the matter.
It turns out that the Locking God Sect had dispatched numerous Golden Elixir Masters to attack Biyue Prefecture.
In a single day, they broke through the defenses and killed all the Golden Elixir Masters in the state mansion, annihilating three major Golden Core Families in the process.
Afterward, this group of Golden Elixir Masters from the Locking God Sect directly returned to the battlefield between the Locking God Sect and the Sun Faction.
And the Sun Faction,
upon learning that Locking God Sect cultivators had died within Biyue Prefecture, immediately reacted.
However, the reaction of the Sun Faction was not to dispatch cultivators to support Biyue Prefecture but to concentrate their advantageous forces and launch a surprise attack on Cloud State, which was still in the heat of battle.
And since the Locking God Sect had just dispatched a portion of Golden Elixir Masters to Biyue Prefecture for revenge,
the Locking God Sect’s arrangements in Cloud State were inevitably weakened.
The Sun Faction saw this and deduced that the Locking God Sect would surely send people there, thus deciding to set a trap.
If the Locking God Sect needed to divert forces to make a trip to Biyue Prefecture,
then the Sun Faction would use its numerical advantage to launch a major counteroffensive within Cloud State.
Taking advantage of the Locking God Sect’s shortage of manpower, they aimed to catch them off guard.
As a result, they were sure to achieve a great victory.
In such a situation, the Sun Faction resolutely chose to abandon Biyue Prefecture and instead dispatched a large number of cultivators to start attacking the Locking God Sect cultivators in Cloud State.
A large-scale battle naturally erupted within Cloud State soon after.
This time,
with the Sun Faction holding the numerical advantage, the Locking God Sect could not hold on.
In the end, they could only retreat while fighting, continuously conceding Immortal Cities to the Sun Faction.
As the Sun Faction captured one Immortal City after another, their morale soared even higher, and they continued to press forward relentlessly.
Thus,
after a few days,
the people sent to Biyue Prefecture returned, and the Locking God Sect finally stabilized the battlefront.
However, after this battle, the frontline between the Locking God Sect and the Sun Faction had been pushed to the original border between the two,
which was the area where the Thick Earth Sect and several other Golden Core Sects were located.
This place was essentially at the former boundary between the two forces.
It can be said,
that after so many years of battle, things have now suddenly returned to the starting point.
Neither the Sun Faction nor the Locking God Sect gained any advantage or suffered any noteworthy loss.
And when the Sun Faction took the opportunity to push the frontline back to the original border between the two,
they naturally also rapidly built up defenses there and continued the confrontation with the Locking God Sect.
This grand battle,
saw the Sun Faction nearly fill their coffers to the brim.
They not only reclaimed lost ground, but also pushed the frontline to the initial boundary between the two sides.
As for the Locking God Sect, they did not suffer too much either.
At least, the Locking God Sect’s reputation was preserved.
From now on, cultivators from the Locking God Sect would be regarded with renewed respect by other Sects because of this action.
After all, it was a power that dared to dispatch a large number of cultivators to break through another Golden Core Sect’s Immortal State Mansion for the sake of a single Golden Elixir Elder, eliminating five Golden Elixir Masters in the process.
Such an action could garner immense prestige within the Cultivation World.
Furthermore, even though the front line had been pushed to the original border between the two factions by the Sun Faction.
It hadn’t reached into the area of influence of the Locking God Sect.
The Locking God Sect was still not fighting on its home ground but on the border of both sides.
Speaking of losses, it couldn’t really be considered a loss.
It was just that the spoils were not as plentiful as before.
The only ones who truly suffered a loss from this great war.
Were only the Biyue Prefecture and the five Golden Elixir Masters within it.
Not only were they directly abandoned by the Sun Faction, but they also became an example for the Locking God Sect, like killing a chicken to warn the monkeys.
Henceforth, these five individuals would probably be remembered by countless cultivators in the Cultivation World.
However, their notoriety would at most be reduced to serving as a backdrop for the Locking God Sect, depicted merely as the chicken killed to warn the monkeys.
Subsequently, as the war between the Locking God Sect and the Sun Faction settled down.
The Sun Faction naturally sent a Golden Elixir Master to Biyue Prefecture to take charge of the area.
This was why the Golden Elixir Master sent by the Sun Faction arrived at the Biyue Prefecture only several days later.
After learning about these events from the letters of Master Luo Jing, He Song initially sighed incessantly.
He hadn’t expected.
That the once flourishing Biyue Prefecture would undergo such drastic changes after his departure.
Moreover, this transformation was even connected to the massive conflict between the Sun Faction and the Locking God Sect.
He Song felt quite reflective about this.
But he did not pay it too much heed.
Knowing all this from the letters of Master Luo Jing was only because He Song had wanted to find out whether those five enemies of his were alive or dead.
Now that the five Golden Elixir Masters from Biyue Prefecture had all perished.
He Song naturally had no need to concern himself with them any longer.
What comes next.
Returning to his temporary cave mansion near the Jinsha Immortal Lane and crafting the five Talismanic Treasures he needed to make within the temporary cave mansion.
That is what He Song needs to do the most right now.
After waiting outside the Hu Prefecture for several days, seeing no one else pursuing him, He Song finally dismantled the Celestial God Thunder Array he had set up.
Then he swiftly departed towards the distant horizon.
Thus.
A few days later.
The figure of He Song once again approached his temporary cave mansion near the Jinsha Immortal Lane.
Upon entering the temporary cave mansion, He Song first restored it to its original state, then he ushered Yu’er, who had sensed his return and had come back to the cave mansion, into the Vast Wave Secret Realm.
Afterwards, he went straight into the Amulet Making Room, ready to begin crafting the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman.
He had become quite adept at crafting the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman.
Having already crafted a White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman before, He Song was very familiar with the process of crafting it.
As such, before he officially began crafting the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman, He Song first took out the precious items he had obtained from the Treasure Pavilion in Hu State.
He Song took out the materials for making precious amulet ink, one by one, and then proceeded to refine them into precious amulet ink.
As each batch of precious amulet ink took shape.
He Song swiftly took out the five Cultivator’s Golden Cores from his storage bag.
What comes next.
Is time to craft the Talismanic Treasures!
As mysterious and exquisite patterns began to emerge upon each Golden Core.
The White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talismans crafted by He Song also gradually increased as time passed.
One Talismanic Treasure.
Two Talismanic Treasures.
Three…
As He Song successfully crafted one Talismanic Treasure after another, the look of joy on his face grew thicker with the passage of time.
Since he had already thought of using jade to conceal the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talismans.
Every time he successfully crafted a Talismanic Treasure, he would quickly encase it in a jade shell and string it into a bracelet, hidden up his sleeve.
In this manner, as Talismanic Treasures were successfully crafted one by one, the jade bracelet on his wrist, hidden within his sleeve, gradually became heavier.
