Chapter 1542: Chapter 973 Crisis Chapter 1542: Chapter 973 Crisis Previous life.

He had seen many plots in numerous storybooks.

Those cultivators, without knowing the formidable strength of the power behind them.

Even when faced with a life-and-death crisis, they didn’t dare destroy the token to summon the backing they had.

The reason being, they were unsure of just how strong their backing was and feared that the powerful enemy they faced would bring great trouble to their backing.

Therefore, before An Ning truly left this place to train in the outside world, He Song still needed to inform her of his own strength.

Otherwise.

If An Ning, due to facing a formidable enemy, did not dare to destroy the token…

He Song would regret it when the time comes.

To ensure this situation wouldn’t occur with him.

He Song slightly revealed his own strength.

However, to prevent An Ning from hesitating to destroy the token when encountering a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator due to her understanding of his strength.

He Song fabricated a late-stage Nascent Soul friend.

This way, if An Ning indeed encountered a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator with malicious intent against her in the future, she would confidently destroy the token, allowing He Song to handle the situation.

Of course, verbally saying this is one thing.

But if An Ning truly faced a crisis and destroyed the token.

He Song still wouldn’t appear personally; instead, he’d manipulate his Nascent Soul Puppet to resolve the issue.

Qing Feng’s strength has now reached the Nascent Soul Perfection level.

When facing any Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator, Qing Feng isn’t afraid at all.

This is the confidence behind He Song’s words.

As long as An Ning truly destroys the token.

Then.

The powerful puppet Qing Feng, whose strength has reached the Nascent Soul Perfection level, will quickly appear to turn danger into safety.

Even if the opponent is also a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator, Qing Feng, armed with the Xuanyang Ice Soul Array, is still fearless.

With such strength as assurance.

He Song’s words naturally radiate confidence.

As He Song finished speaking.

An Ning’s gaze towards He Song was instantly filled with gratitude.

She knew He Song’s cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

She also knew that within the Zetian City Treasure Pavilion Branch, there seemed to be a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, who was also a friend of He Song’s.

But she didn’t expect.

He Song, for her safety during her adventures, would not hesitate to leverage that friend’s power.

Moreover, the friend’s strength had even reached the late-stage Nascent Soul.

With these thoughts flashing through her mind, An Ning promptly bowed again.

She assured He Song that if she indeed encountered danger in the future, she would surely destroy that token to attract his attention.

Thus, after ensuring An Ning understood the importance of this matter.

So she wouldn’t hesitate to destroy the token due to encountering a powerful enemy without knowing her own strength.

Only then did He Song feel at ease.

He continued to instruct An Ning further.

Then he let her choose an auspicious day for her journey into the world.

After sending An Ning off, he refocused his attention back on himself.

However.

When He Song’s attention returned to himself.

He pondered for a moment.

But ultimately, with a thought, he summoned Xianyun back.

And manipulated Xianyun to provide temporary protection for An Ning from the shadows.

Although An Ning’s current strength is quite impressive, not considered weak among Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators.

However, An Ning personally has very limited experience in walking the Cultivation World.

During the Qi Refining stage, An Ning followed Su Qian.

Although Su Qian taught a lot, her strength was merely at the Qi Refining stage.

I fear she hadn’t even thought An Ning could eventually enter the Nascent Soul Realm.

Therefore, she likely didn’t teach the nuances Nascent Soul cultivators must pay attention to when journeying outside.

Only imparting some of the worldly ways suited for Qi-refining cultivators.

During the Foundation Establishment and Golden Elixir stages, An Ning was always in the Wind Snow Palace.

Even though she participated in a Righteous and Demonic Great War, she still lacked experience in traveling alone.

As an elder of the Wind Snow Palace, An Ning has had an exceptionally smooth journey all the way.

In such circumstances, He Song can even say An Ning lacks any solo travel experience.

Even though she’s now in the Nascent Soul Realm.

And has received some of He Song’s guidance.

But how much did An Ning truly take to heart?

As such.

He Song naturally needed to watch over her a bit during the early stage of her journey.

Although the time wouldn’t be too long, once He Song felt An Ning had gained the ability to journey alone, he would withdraw Xianyun.

Yet, during the time Xianyun secretly protects her, it should be enough for An Ning to mature completely, becoming a competent and independent Nascent Soul cultivator.

Moreover, during the period Xianyun secretly guards her, unless An Ning encounters a life-and-death crisis or some crucial situation, Xianyun would not intervene.

This also allows An Ning to grow faster.

Of course.

If An Ning were to encounter any situation where she is oppressed or specifically targeted.

He Song would also have Xianyun, or even Qing Feng, to step in for protection.

Ensuring An Ning wouldn’t be relentlessly hunted or targeted throughout her journey.

An Ning.

After all, is a junior brought up by He Song.

It’s impossible to let others bully her.
