Chapter 1583: Chapter 993 Diabolism Disturbance_2

There might even be some special privileges to gain.

Such a development would certainly be something He Song would be glad to see.

After all, at a time when such a great war was about to erupt, if he could establish ties with the Yin Soul Sect.

Then this battle would likely mean nothing for Ghost Soul.

With such thoughts in his heart, He Song continued to manipulate Ghost Soul to cultivate within the cave mansion.

However, a few days later,

The same disciple from Yin Soul Sect visited once more and requested Ghost Soul to immediately head to the Yin Soul Sect’s main hall, declaring that it was the Holy Sect’s decree.

He Song, naturally, did not refuse and promptly arrived at Yin Soul Sect’s main hall.

Inside Yin Soul Sect’s main hall,

A large number of Nascent Soul demons had gathered again.

At the center stood the Holy Sect cultivator whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm.

But unlike before, the sect master of Yin Soul Sect was now standing beside this person, jointly facing the demonic cultivators gathered within the hall.

When all the Nascent Soul demons had arrived,

A cold snort resounded.

“I heard someone went on a rampage in Yin Soul Sect a few days ago.”

“Slaughtering not only many Foundation Establishment disciples but even killing a few of our Golden Elixir elders?”

“Do you realize,”

“That Yin Soul Sect is a force planted here by my Holy Sect?”

“Does such behavior indicate some grievance against my Holy Sect? Do you intend to test the sharpness of my Holy Sect’s sword?”

As the words fell, an overpowering spiritual pressure of Nascent Soul Perfection burst forth, crushing down fiercely upon the Nascent Soul demons within the hall.

Fortunately, this spiritual pressure came quickly and dissipated just as swiftly.

Shortly after, the Holy Sect cultivator’s voice rang out again.

“Currently, my Holy Sect is in need of manpower. Although you have committed grave errors, there is still an opportunity for redemption.”

“Yin Soul Sect has various tasks that can be taken up.”

“All cultivators who have killed Yin Soul Sect disciples or even elders are required to accept and complete these tasks.”

“If you refuse, my Holy Sect’s methods can naturally make you comply.”

“As for cultivators who have not acted against Yin Soul Sect disciples or elders, you may return to your respective peaks for now.”

“Should further tasks arise, I will personally inform you.”

With that said, the Holy Sect cultivator quickly took out several jade slips and distributed them to the Nascent Soul demons present.

However, no jade slip was presented before Ghost Soul.

He Song was unsurprised by this.

He merely silently manipulated Ghost Soul, intending to leave immediately.

Meanwhile, He Song noticed that a small number of Nascent Soul demons within the main hall also did not receive jade slips.

They too, like him, began to quietly leave the place.

Observing this,

He Song’s thoughts turned sharp.

Indeed,

Nascent Soul demons who could rise from obscurity were not entirely devoid of intelligence.

These Nascent Soul demons, he speculated, were likely individuals who could still remain clear-headed despite their inner fury.

With such considerations in mind,

He Song maintained a composed demeanor but made sure to memorize the aura of these Nascent Soul cultivators.

Such demons were undoubtedly meticulous schemers.

If possible, He Song did not wish to become their enemy.

After Ghost Soul and other Nascent Soul demons who had refrained from acting against Yin Soul Sect disciples had exited the main hall,

The main hall’s doors slammed shut.

What the remaining Nascent Soul demons would do inside was unclear.

But as per He Song’s speculation,

The matter was likely related to the Righteous Tao.

Perhaps, these Nascent Soul demons would soon be dispatched to different locations as agents to strike against the Righteous Tao.

As for demonic cultivators like Ghost Soul who hadn’t acted against Yin Soul Sect disciples, upon their next visit, they would likely be assigned tasks one by one.

Without lingering in Yin Soul Sect’s main hall,

Ghost Soul quickly returned to his previous location.

Similarly, the other Nascent Soul cultivators who had left early also dispersed without exchanging a word.

Yet,

Upon returning to his mountain peak,

He Song covertly kept watch on the distant Yin Soul Sect main hall.

He wanted to see,

If the Nascent Soul demons left in the main hall would immediately set off for other places.

Or whether those Nascent Soul demons would continue lingering within Yin Soul Sect.

As He Song observed,

After a while,

The doors of the Yin Soul Sect’s main hall slammed open.

A group of Nascent Soul demons swiftly streamed out, flying in different directions.

They did not stay in Yin Soul Sect.

Instead, they quickly burst out from the sect’s boundaries, rushing toward far-off locations.

Even the Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator dispatched by the Holy Sect merely watched silently as everything unfolded before him, without making any move to stop them.

Seeing this scene, a flash of understanding crossed He Song’s mind.

Evidently,

These demonic cultivators had likely been sent to the outside world.

The only question was how the Soul Locking Sect managed to control these Nascent Soul cultivators, ensuring they wouldn’t escape.

Of course, diabolic methods were exceedingly sinister, and the Soul Locking Sect must have absolute confidence to act in such a manner.

He Song refrained from delving too deep into it.

After all, Ghost Soul was nothing more than a puppet.

Even if imbued with some sort of controlling method, it would only affect Ghost Soul’s life and death.

Moreover, given the sturdiness of Ghost Soul’s body, destruction was unlikely.

As for He Song himself, he had the protection of the Tribulation Fire Life Candle.

To outsiders, Ghost Soul and He Song appeared to have no connection whatsoever.

Thus, common demonic control techniques likely posed no threat to He Song.

Still, if the Soul Locking Sect’s methods proved too bizarre and left He Song truly unsettled,

He Song could simply self-detonate the puppet, freeing himself from any dangers.

Doing so, however, would mean losing a Nascent Soul puppet and wasting considerable resources.

It would also sever his ability to perceive diabolic movements entirely.

Thus, unless absolutely necessary, He Song would not take such action.

Upon further contemplation, He Song doubted the Soul Locking Sect possessed any powerful secret technique capable of outright controlling multiple Nascent Soul cultivators.

Nascent Soul cultivators were exceedingly powerful; He Song, being one himself, understood this all too well.

Even if their physical bodies were destroyed, Nascent Soul cultivators could cast off their mortal shells and seize control of a prodigiously gifted individual, thus starting anew.

A cultivator’s Nascent Soul was the source of their power.

Ordinary means were utterly ineffective against Nascent Soul cultivators.

Furthermore, there had been quite a number of Nascent Soul cultivators gathered within the main hall earlier.

It was nearly impossible to completely control so many Nascent Soul cultivators in such a short period.

He Song found it more plausible that,

The Soul Locking Sect relied on the certainty that these Nascent Soul cultivators dared not flee.

And even if they did flee, the Soul Locking Sect had measures to track them down and execute them.

Such tactics were likely the true reason these old demons willingly submitted themselves to the Soul Locking Sect’s orders.

Rather than some control technique.

If this proved true, He Song had little reason to worry.

After witnessing the departure of the Nascent Soul demons, He Song withdrew his gaze with a thoughtful expression.

However, deep within his heart, he couldn’t help but feel a shred of concern for Ghost Soul’s future.

Among the puppets under He Song’s control, Ghost Soul’s strength was the weakest, possessing only early-stage Nascent Soul capabilities.

Though such strength might be considered a formidable demonic force elsewhere, amid the current lead-up to the Righteous and Demonic Great War,

It amounted to nothing more than a mere pawn on the battlefield.

If Ghost Soul were to face a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he would likely soon falter.

Although his durable body meant he wouldn’t die immediately, his resistance would be short-lived.

Thus, He Song’s immediate thought was to enhance Ghost Soul’s abilities.

At the very least,

Ghost Soul needed enough strength to hold his ground against late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

As for beings with Nascent Soul Perfection strength, He Song needn’t concern himself.

Nascent Soul Perfection cultivators, though technically still within the Nascent Soul Realm, represented the apex of power below the Deity Transforming stage.
