Chapter 1582: Chapter 993: Diabolism Anomaly

“Whether it is the exquisite cave mansion or the servants and maids, all have been arranged by the Sect Master.”

“If Sir finds anything unsatisfactory, you may raise it anytime, and we of the Yin Soul Sect will certainly take care of it for you.”

“Apart from that.”

“Should Sir require any cultivation resources, you may also speak up.”

“As long as our Yin Soul Sect can provide them, we will never refuse.”

At this point, the disciple was incredibly nervous, his back drenched in cold sweat, though he himself remained unaware of it.

It wasn’t surprising that he felt this way.

The disciples of the Yin Soul Sect all had cultivation levels no higher than the Foundation Establishment Realm.

And while Foundation Establishment cultivators might seem lofty and powerful in the eyes of the Qi-refining cultivators,

when they directly faced Yuanying-level cultivators like Ghost Soul, they were incomparably small.

Moreover, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his perception of external circumstances was not weak.

He was keenly aware.

On the journey here, countless fellow disciples had perished at the hands of these powerful Nascent Soul demons.

And throughout this journey, his mood had already been filled with dread.

Thus, when he now faced Ghost Soul directly and finished speaking those words,

seeing Ghost Soul looking at him motionlessly,

a sudden surge of deathly foreboding arose in his heart, as if Ghost Soul would soon strike and wipe him from existence.

The sense of death looming at any moment for a low-ranked Foundation Establishment cultivator facing a Nascent Soul demon was truly an unbearable, razor-sharp torment.

Yet, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, escape was impossible from the grasp of a Nascent Soul demon.

With no ability to flee and no hope of winning in battle,

his mental collapse was naturally expected.

However.

Upon hearing his words, He Song did not behave as other Nascent Soul demons often did, casually killing without a thought.

He merely stared intently at the Yin Soul Sect disciple standing before him.

Then, just as the disciple’s mental state was on the verge of collapse, He Song silently shifted his gaze away.

“Leave.”

With that single word, He Song’s figure vanished from the spot and reappeared within the luxurious cave mansion prepared for him atop the mountain peak by the Yin Soul Sect Sect Master.

Quickly dismissing the servants and maids in the cave mansion, He Song entered the Quiet Room and closed his eyes to ponder deeply.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain,

following He Song’s brief command to leave, the Yin Soul Sect disciple who had escorted him promptly collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air, his clothes soaked in cold sweat.

He knew that his life had been spared.

However, he felt certain that this Nascent Soul demon harbored some lingering resentment toward the Yin Soul Sect.

Still, as long as his life was preserved, that was all that mattered.

After all, being suddenly brought here by members of the Holy Sect–having no resentment would be truly strange.

With these thoughts in his mind, the disciple rested briefly before hastening back to the Yin Soul Sect’s main hall to report.

He needed to convey everything he had encountered and heard on the journey here.

The Sect Master of Yin Soul Sect, naturally, would make further reports about the movements of these Nascent Soul demons.

And the Holy Sect cultivator.

Would undoubtedly study the movements of these Nascent Soul demons through such reports.

As for why He Song had chosen not to slay the Yin Soul Sect disciple like other Nascent Soul cultivators, instead simply sending him off after escorting him to the residence,

apart from He Song’s own unwillingness to kill indiscriminately,

it was also to indicate to others that he felt little resentment about being brought here.

After all, other Yuanying-level cultivators who had been brought here were often consumed with rage.

As a result, they would vent their anger by slaughtering Yin Soul Sect disciples, acts that the Holy Sect cultivator certainly noticed.

Yet Ghost Soul?

Ghost Soul did not slaughter Yin Soul Sect disciples but merely sent them off with a dismissive word.

This action by He Song was actually deliberate.

If Ghost Soul had not only refrained from killing the Yin Soul Sect disciple but instead treated him with undue respect,

it might have aroused suspicion from the Holy Sect cultivator.

After all, diabolic cultivators have no traditions of repaying malice with kindness.

For someone evidently harboring rage to suppress it and extend courtesy to a Yin Soul Sect disciple instead,

such behavior was contrary to the ways of diabolism.

But with this approach, while He Song did not kill the Yin Soul Sect disciple, the dismissive command to leave clearly showed that He Song’s heart did carry some resentment, albeit not much.

This manner of action would neither overly attract the Holy Sect’s focus on him,

nor cause undue offense to the members of the Yin Soul Sect.

It must be understood.

These various Yuanying-level cultivators brought to this location would likely spend the subsequent years within the Yin Soul Sect.

If they offended Yin Soul Sect cultivators soon after arriving,

how then would the Yin Soul Sect’s Sect Master regard them?

Furthermore, the fact that these cultivators could take shelter here was evidence that the Yin Soul Sect and the Demon Path Sacred Land Soul Locking Sect had some sort of connection.

If any of the Nascent Soul cultivators here offended the Yin Soul Sect early on,

they would likely suffer greatly in the battles to come.

As for Ghost Soul.

By not offending the Yin Soul Sect,

his position here would naturally be stronger than the other Nascent Soul cultivators.
