Perhaps Meng Guan and Wei Fan were afraid that True Lord Fa Xuan would use his divine sense to spy on them, which is why they chose to only frantically hint and not warn him directly.
He Song was in mid-air, on the White Jade Vessel.
But he carefully manipulated his divine sense, constantly probing the cultivation levels of the cultivators below, as well as their conversations.
Coincidentally, he discovered the high-ranking officials of the immortal market in a small courtyard, who seemed to be controlled by someone, like puppets.
At the same time, he also happened to hear that old voice.
From the scene where the high-ranking officials of the immortal market filed out of that small courtyard and began to prepare to welcome him, it was obvious that something was wrong.
That's when he suddenly realized.
It seems.
The original guardian True Person of this immortal market was likely still controlling these puppets from a distance.
But he didn't know.
Whether this person had left with the main force of the Seven Stars Sect.
Or if he was still present around Hundred Herb Immortal Market.
If it was the former, he didn't need to worry. Cleaning up these puppets wouldn't be a problem.
But if it was the latter.
He Song's gaze subtly swept over Pinger's figure.
Himself and Pinger.
Two early Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Even against a mid-Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, they should have some fighting strength.
Even if they couldn't win, they could still run.
After running away, he would directly send a message to True Person Clear Moon, asking her to come and help.
He Song didn't believe that three Foundation Establishment True Persons, with True Person Clear Moon now in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, couldn't take down a mere Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator.
Although he didn't know the exact stage of this demonic cultivator's cultivation.
But at most, it would be mid-Foundation Establishment.
Late Foundation Establishment cultivators were basically stationed in immortal cities, how could they be guardians in an immortal market.
The cultivators who could guard in an immortal market were basically all early Foundation Establishment.
Even if there were occasional mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the immortal market, it was probably because they had just broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
After consolidating their mid-Foundation Establishment strength, they would soon be transferred to guard an immortal city.
Immortal cities were the strongholds used by sects or families to control the surrounding area.
Immortal markets were just extended tentacles.
Naturally, immortal cities would require more Foundation Establishment combat power.
According to He Song's thinking, he and Pinger were two early Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even if this demonic cultivator was mid-Foundation Establishment, they could definitely run.
If you can't beat them, run. If you run away, find reinforcements.
He really didn't believe that within the territory of the Earth Sect, he, an elder of the Earth Sect, couldn't handle a Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he thought about his escape route. After realizing that his life was not in danger.
He Song breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to meet this group of puppets controlled by the demonic cultivator.
This method of refining people into puppets.
He was also quite envious of it.
If he could obtain it... perhaps he could also use this spell in the future to do something.
Thinking about what he could do in the future by using this spell to refine people into puppets.
The figures of He Song and the others soon landed in the mansion at the center of Hundred Herb Immortal Market.
Just as they landed.
He Song immediately heard a mountain-like shout.
"I, Cheng Yan, Deacon of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, pay my respects to True Person. Your presence here brings great honor to Hundred Herb Immortal Market!"
"I, Fang Yu, Deacon of the Spirit Construction Pavilion, pay my respects to True Person."
"I, Wang Ya, Deacon of the Spirit Skill Pavilion, pay my respects to True Person."
"I..."
As the voices came, a large group of people in front of He Song and the others immediately bowed and saluted.
From the words of these people, He Song could not hear anything wrong.
It was as if these people were all normal cultivators.
But He Song instantly locked onto an elderly cultivator.
Spirit Medicine Pavilion Deacon.
Cheng Yan.
This person's voice was extremely similar to the old voice He Song had eavesdropped on in that small courtyard.
Presumably, it was this person who spoke in that small courtyard, telling these puppets to come and greet him.
If He Song hadn't already realized that these people were almost all puppets by relying on his divine sense, he might have been fooled by them.
But Pinger and Chu Shuangshuang, who were on the side, did not know all this at this moment.
Seeing that a group of people suddenly bowed and saluted after they landed, Pinger and Chu Shuangshuang's expressions changed slightly.
But since neither of them were the main characters, they didn't say anything.
They just looked at He Song.
Wanting to see how He Song would react to this situation.
On the side.
He Song did not directly point out everything he had eavesdropped on before.
Nor did he attack these people in front of him.
He just scanned the crowd.
After discovering that the puppets in the crowd looked no different from ordinary people, except that their eyes were not as bright as those of other cultivators, and everything else was almost the same.
He Song's interest in this method of refining cultivators into puppets suddenly increased.
These puppets.
If he hadn't known their identities beforehand, he might not have been able to discover them for a while.
Such realistic puppets might make his future safety even better.
He might really be able to use this demonic method.
His gaze swept over.
He Song memorized the appearance of the few people in the crowd who were not puppets.
Then he nodded to these people.
"There is no need for formalities. Which one of you is in charge. Step forward and speak."
As He Song's voice fell.
The crowd immediately stood up straight.
An old figure walked out of the crowd and tremblingly came to He Song's front.
Under the gazes of He Song and the others.
The old figure bowed to He Song.
Then he spoke.
His old voice also came.
"Greetings, True Person. I am Cheng Yan, Deacon of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion. I don't know where True Person comes from, or what instructions you have for coming to Hundred Herb Immortal Market."
Cheng Yan's body was bent, his white hair fluttering in the wind, and his thin body was like an old man in the mortal world.
It seemed that a gust of wind could blow him down.
But in the world of cultivation, the degree of aging of a cultivator's body could be controlled by the cultivator himself.
Just like Meng Guan in the past.
At that time, Meng Guan felt that he had no hope of reaching Foundation Establishment, so he turned his body into an old man.
It was not until he successfully reached Foundation Establishment that he regained the appearance of a young man.
The appearance of Cheng Yan in front of him seemed quite comical to He Song.
"I am an elder of the Earth Sect, True Person Evergreen Pine. I received an order from the Sect Master a few days ago to come and guard Hundred Herb Immortal Market."
"You can call me True Person Evergreen Pine."
His gaze swept over Cheng Yan in front of him, and He Song casually told him the title he had already thought of.
The title of True Person Evergreen Pine was something that He Song had thought about for a long time before finally settling on it.
As for the meaning of Evergreen Pine.
Evergreen, represented the heavens.
Pine, was He Song's name.
Together, it meant "I am the will of the heavens."
Of course, in the eyes of others, the title True Person Evergreen Pine might just be He Song's wish to be like an evergreen pine, persevering and striving forward on the path of immortality.
But they would never know what He Song was really thinking when he came up with this title for himself.
As a longevity practitioner.
He Song comparing himself to the heavens was considered flattering the heavens.
With He Song's identity as a longevity practitioner, the heavens would perish but he would not. The heavens would collapse but he would not be destroyed.
How could the heavens compare.
But He Song also knew that these things could not be told to others.
This was his own secret.
No matter who it was.
This secret could only rot in his heart.
Forever.
Forever.
There would be no day when it was spoken.
If others asked about the meaning of his title.
He would say that it was just to make himself like an evergreen pine, persevering and striving forward on the path of immortality.
As for other meanings, He Song would certainly not reveal them.
Such a title.
Comparing oneself to the heavens.
Moreover, there was a lot of disrespect for the heavens in his heart.
In the eyes of other cultivators, this was a complete act of courting death.
If it angered the heavens, probably ten He Songs would not be enough to be struck by lightning.
However, as long as He Song did not speak out, there would naturally be no harm.
Evil in the heart is not evil.
True action is evil.
After all, everyone has occasional delusions in their hearts.
As long as the delusion is not turned into action, it can naturally not be called evil.
As long as He Song didn't say it, even the heavens couldn't possibly detect that the title He Song had given himself had such a meaning.
"Your subordinate, Spirit Medicine Pavilion Deacon, Cheng Yan, pays respects to True Person Evergreen Pine."
Hearing this, Cheng Yan immediately bowed and saluted He Song.
Behind him.
The people who had already straightened up also bowed at this moment and saluted He Song.
Before.
They were not sure of He Song's identity.
Therefore, they did not call themselves subordinates.
But now that He Song had revealed his identity, as high-ranking officials of the immortal market, they naturally addressed themselves as subordinates.
Since He Song said he was ordered to come and guard Hundred Herb Immortal Market.
In the future, He Song would be like the heavens in this small Hundred Herb Immortal Market.
And they, in the future, would also be He Song's subordinates.
If they didn't bow now, when would they.
"Rise, all of you. Cheng Yan, come in and tell me about the affairs of Hundred Herb Immortal Market."
Ignoring the bowing high-ranking officials of the immortal market in front of him, He Song casually said something, then took Pinger and Chu Shuangshuang and walked directly into the mansion behind him.
In every immortal market, in the most central location, which was also the place with the most abundant spiritual energy.
There would be a huge mansion.
This mansion was naturally the place where the Foundation Establishment True Person guarding the immortal market lived.
This place had the most abundant spiritual energy in the immortal market, and it also had the best location, and even the best living environment.
Now that He Song had arrived.
This mansion in Hundred Herb Immortal Market would naturally be He Song's residence in the future.
As the gate of the mansion opened.
He Song, the three of them, and Cheng Yan behind them walked in together.
The gate closed.
Separating the inside and outside of the mansion into two worlds.
And at this moment, when the inside and outside were separated, and the surroundings were quiet.
He Song smiled, his gaze gentle, and he came to Cheng Yan's side.
After casually patting Cheng Yan's hunched body to show closeness, He Song's voice also sounded.
"Cheng Yan, in the future, all the trivial matters outside the immortal market will be handed over to you to manage, what do you think..."
"Soul Searching Technique!"
