Chapter 1543: Chapter 973 Crisis_2 Chapter 1543: Chapter 973 Crisis_2 With these thoughts in mind, He Song began to manipulate Xianyun to start secretly protecting An Ning.

He himself soon once again immersed himself in the study of the Wanxiang Mountain and River Array.

As for An Ning.

After He Song went into seclusive cultivation, she quickly chose an auspicious day to set off from Zetian City on her own.

The first stop on An Ning’s journey this time.

Was the Wind Snow Palace.

During An Ning’s growth period, Wind Snow Palace was the sect she spent the most time in.

An Ning had quite a good impression of Wind Snow Palace.

Inside the Wind Snow Palace, there were many senior and junior sisters she was familiar with, and many familiar sights.

Therefore, after leaving Zetian City, An Ning quickly arrived at Wind Snow Palace and stayed there for a short period.

However.

According to Xianyun’s secret observation.

The period An Ning stayed at Wind Snow Palace apparently wasn’t too joyful.

Yet, according to Xianyun’s secret observation, the cultivators at Wind Snow Palace, when interacting with An Ning, all maintained a high level of enthusiasm.

No fault could be found in how they handled all matters related to An Ning.

Even the current Sect Leader of Wind Snow Palace, Elder Phantom Snow.

Would come visit An Ning from time to time to discuss Dao with her.

It can be said that Wind Snow Palace showed a great deal of sincerity in welcoming An Ning back this time.

It’s uncertain whether An Ning just felt her senior and junior sisters had changed.

Or she realized she could never return to the original Wind Snow Palace, hence her unhappiness.

And after staying at Wind Snow Palace for a while.

An Ning soon bid farewell and left, embarking on her path of undertaking various tasks.

However, during this period.

An Ning also encountered many events.

But thankfully.

With the many life-saving items He Song had previously given her, An Ning managed to continue pressing on with various tasks amidst dangers but without harm.

Observing this for a while, He Song, seeing that An Ning was starting to gradually mature, simply let her continue to develop on her own.

Yet, Xianyun’s secret protection was not directly withdrawn.

Instead, He Song allocated more energy to using his own information channels to understand the various information about places An Ning visited.

This way, he could make advance predictions about potential dangers An Ning might encounter in the future.

So that when An Ning was about to face danger, he wouldn’t be completely unaware of her situation.

However.

As time flowed by bit by bit.

An Ning finally encountered trouble several years after leaving Zetian City.

This was the first trouble An Ning faced that seriously threatened her life.

The task An Ning accepted this time was to go to an area under the influence of a Jubao Pavilion Branch to help eradicate a group of Golden Elixir Demon Cultivators.

These Demon Cultivators rampaged in the area bordering the righteous and diabolical paths, not only slaughtering numerous Gold Core cultivators but also destroying several Golden Core Sects.

These Demon Cultivators made a grave mistake by targeting a Gold Core cultivator who had dealings with the Treasure Pavilion.

Now, that Gold Core cultivator who had dealt with the Treasure Pavilion has fallen.

And An Ning’s task this time.

Was to quickly eliminate this group of Demon Cultivators to set the record straight.

Upon accepting this task, An Ning rapidly headed to the region where those Demon Dao Golden Elixirs were located at the righteous-diabolic border.

She quickly began to track down these Demon Dao Golden Elixirs.

Her formidable Yuanying realm cultivation also quickly pinpointed the positions of these Demon Dao Golden Elixirs.

But.

Just when An Ning successfully found the location of these Demon Dao Golden Elixirs.

A powerful divine sense also noticed her presence.

With demonic clouds rolling in from the horizon.

A mid-stage Nascent Soul Demonic Cultivator appeared and engaged An Ning in battle, soon throwing the two of them into combat.

Of course.

That Nascent Soul Demonic Practitioner didn’t just have a level of cultivation higher than An Ning.

As a Demon Cultivator, he had extremely rich experience in fighting.

Moreover, the methods of Demon Cultivators are inherently bizarre.

As a result, An Ning soon found herself at a disadvantage and began a long journey of escape.

The battlefield of the two was quite far from the nearest Immortal Capital.

Therefore, after fighting and retreating.

An Ning suddenly realized that the number of elixirs and spirit amulets on her might be insufficient.

She wouldn’t be able to hold out until she returned to the nearest Immortal Capital.

With this thought emerging.

After a moment of hesitation, An Ning decisively destroyed the token He Song had given her.

The next moment.

Far away, He Song felt something.

But he didn’t pay too much attention.

He had already learned the whole story through Xianyun and understood the reason for the danger An Ning faced this time.

He Song himself, of course, couldn’t directly move at this time to go and rescue An Ning.

After all.

Some lessons.

Can only be deeply remembered at critical moments.

He Song didn’t want a situation where, after a quick rescue, An Ning would still forget the lesson and encounter such danger again due to carelessness.

So, seeing An Ning destroy the token.

He decided to wait until An Ning was pursued for a while longer, to let her understand that traveling in the Cultivation World requires extreme caution, then let Xianyun take action to save her.

In this way, not only would An Ning not face danger, but she would also earnestly remember this lesson.

This aligned perfectly with He Song’s previous thoughts.

With this thought.

He Song waited a while.

Until he saw a trace of urgency flash in An Ning’s eyes, and after estimating the time it would take to set out and reach her.

He then manipulated Xianyun to fly forward a distance, and then took action to help An Ning repel the Nascent Soul Demonic Practitioner.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators.

One at the mid-stage, the other at the early stage.

Were not something a single Nascent Soul Demon Practitioner could handle.

Therefore, upon seeing He Song arrive, the Nascent Soul Demon quickly fled away.

As for He Song and An Ning.

They soon boarded He Song’s top-grade spirit artifact flying boat and headed rapidly towards the nearest Immortal Capital.

On the flying boat.

He Song casually carved another token and handed it to An Ning.

Then he took out many spirit elixirs and spirit amulets from his body and handed them all to An Ning.

It was only after He Song finished doing all this.

That An Ning lowered her head with a look of shame.

At this moment, she recalled what He Song had previously said.

And she was filled with guilt for not heeding his words.

If it weren’t for her actions.

The token He Song had previously given would perhaps not have been destroyed.

And He Song wouldn’t have had to hastily break out of seclusion to rush to the border of the righteous and diabolical to rescue her.

And she wouldn’t have suddenly been hunted by that Nascent Soul Demon today.

In short.

All that happened at this moment was primarily due to her.

But seeing An Ning like this, He Song simply laughed.

“You did well this time.”

“Though you encountered danger due to a lack of vigilance.”

“You didn’t hesitate to destroy the token when it was urgent.”

“Such a response did not waste my previous teachings.”

“Only, the Cultivation World is full of dangers, and one must not lose vigilance just because of one’s cultivation level.”

“Remember, in this world, there’s always someone above, powers beyond powers.”

“In the future, you still need to be more cautious.”

He Song didn’t know why An Ning picked such a task at the righteous-diabolical border, nor did he understand why An Ning ended up in danger due to negligence.

But to him, since An Ning had already encountered danger once.

It meant, in the future, she would surely become more cautious because of this matter, making it less likely for her to encounter danger.

On this, He Song was quite pleased.

Because his protection over An Ning could only be temporary, he couldn’t protect her forever.

As long as An Ning could learn the value of caution during the time He Song had Xianyun protect her secretly.

That would already be a great thing for He Song.
