Chapter 260 Handover of Power

Chapter 260 Transfer of Power

These were all just polite words.

If He Song truly didn't offer a gift, things would become strange.

If White Cloud True Person truly didn't accept, this matter would probably also become strange.

Therefore.

Knowing full well what this gift represented, although both spoke beautiful words, their hearts were like bright mirrors.

It was just that they didn't put the words on the surface, instead using these words to be polite.

As the two proceeded along the way.

More and more cultivators with close relationships to White Cloud True Person also saw the two walking together, appearing to converse happily.

Seeing this situation, these people respectfully greeted He Song and White Cloud True Person, and the two naturally would not be too neglectful.

Having walked along the way.

After their appearance of happy conversation was seen by almost everyone.

The two then entered the backyard.

The changing of the guard.

Always requires giving the people below a reassurance.

The two acting in this way was also to tell these people.

From now on, the Guardian True Person of Heavenly Pivot Immortal City would be changed to He Song.

Those who had good relations with White Cloud True Person in the past, after seeing this scene, would naturally also place their attention on He Song.

This is the changing of the new and the old.

It is also the transfer of power.

It also foreshadows that from now on, White Cloud True Person will leave this place.

He Song will immediately take over.

Backyard.

Inside a small pavilion.

Meng Guan, Wei Fan, and Dark Crane True Person, had already been waiting here early on.

Seeing the two arrive together, the three who were already waiting here immediately stood up to greet them.

After all five people sat down, everyone immediately exchanged pleasantries.

Foundation Establishment True Persons close up in cultivation even for several months, the five people have not gathered together for a long time to talk freely.

This time being able to gather all five people was still because White Cloud True Person was about to leave, and the other four all came to see him off.

If it were other times, it's likely there would be one or two people in closed-door cultivation, unable to come.

Inside the small pavilion.

After a round of farewells.

It finally came to the time of departure.

When everyone stood up to see him off.

White Cloud True Person waved his hand, his gaze looked at the four people beside him, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Unknowingly, I have been Guardian True Person in this Heavenly Pivot Immortal City for many years."

"When Heavenly Pivot Immortal City was just captured, I was already stationed here as Guardian True Person, until now."

"Now."

"It has finally come to the time to leave."

"Fellow cultivators, we will meet again!"

After speaking, White Cloud True Person cupped his hands towards the four people, and his whole body immediately transformed into a golden escape light and soared into the sky.

At the same time, He Song and the other four people also slightly cupped their hands towards the place where the escape light was, to show their farewell.

And inside White Cloud True Person's residence.

Those Qi Condensation Stage cultivators in the living room and residence seeing off White Cloud True Person also respectfully greeted and bid farewell to this golden escape light at this moment.

White Cloud True Person has operated in this place for so many years, naturally he has some supporters.

For Immortal City cultivators.

If they could latch onto the thigh of a Foundation Establishment True Person, it would simply be ascending to heaven in a single step.

Under a Foundation Establishment True Person, naturally there would also be many Qi Condensation Stage cultivators as supporters.

He Song has only been here for five years, and already has a group of people who look to him for guidance, but He Song basically hasn't paid much attention to it.

White Cloud True Person has operated in this place for so many years, his supporters are naturally even more numerous.

Now that White Cloud True Person is leaving, it is normal for these supporters to come here to see him off.

Moreover.

He Song had previously shown his face with White Cloud True Person in front of these people.

It is expected that when He Song returns to his residence again, there will be many people coming to pay respects to He Song, wanting to become He Song's supporters.

These things are just trivial matters.

After seeing White Cloud True Person transform into escape light and leave Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, the four people in the backyard, however, did not intend to leave.

Although everyone had already chatted freely for a while before White Cloud True Person left.

But since someone has left.

Then naturally someone will join.

"Congratulations fellow cultivator on becoming the Guardian True Person of Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, from now on it is justified and proper."

Meng Guan spoke first, smilingly congratulating He Song.

Having experienced more than five years of time.

He Song's identity finally had a change.

Although he was originally a Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, no one would dare to gossip.

But before today, He Song's identity had not been officially confirmed.

Now.

He Song's cultivation has reached Mid-Foundation Establishment, and White Cloud True Person has also left with it, He Song's identity, naturally, became the Guardian True Person of Heavenly Pivot Immortal City.

In this way, He Song's identity was confirmed.

Even if something unexpected happens in the future, it definitely won't be He Song's responsibility.

"Congratulations fellow cultivator..."

After Meng Guan opened his mouth to congratulate him, it was Wei Fan.

After similarly congratulating He Song on becoming the Guardian True Person of Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, a hint of joy flashed across Wei Fan's face.

He Song becoming the Guardian True Person of Heavenly Pivot Immortal City is beneficial to him, and Meng Guan.

Previously.

He Song had only taken over the duties of the Guardian True Person, the position was not officially confirmed.

If something unexpected happened, it might ruin things.

Therefore, some things in these five years, they have all done very discreetly.

But now.

White Cloud True Person has left, He Song holds great power.

Some things, it is time to start secretly operating.

"Congratulations fellow cultivator..."

This was Dark Crane True Person.

Dark Crane True Person in these five years, is also quite familiar with He Song.

Unlike White Cloud True Person who was destined to leave early on, Dark Crane True Person's relationship with He Song and others is closer.

Although he is a Sect elite, even though he has long known the difference between himself and Sect elites, He Song and the other two did not become hostile to him because of this.

Dark Crane True Person usually prefers quiet, likes to pluck the strings of a zither, taste tea and appreciate the moon, which is very much in line with the temperament of a cultivation person.

And precisely because of this, Dark Crane True Person naturally couldn't harbor any ill will towards He Song who has similar preferences to himself.

At the same time, the overlap between preferences is also the reason why Dark Crane True Person and the three have a closer relationship.

In his spare time, He Song occasionally sits with Dark Crane True Person to taste tea, which is quite comfortable.

"Same joy, same joy."

Facing the congratulations of the three people, He Song cupped his hands in return.

Regarding this matter, He Song didn't really care much in his heart.

After all, when he just arrived at Heavenly Pivot Immortal City, he had already taken over his responsibilities.

Now that White Cloud True Person has left, he just has an additional title.

It's not like he has gained any great power.

He naturally wouldn't care too much.

But after all there is a change in identity, friends congratulate him, naturally he has to return the courtesy.

After another round of polite exchanges.

The four people sat in the small pavilion again.

After a free-flowing conversation.

The atmosphere between the four people also became slightly warmer.

Until the sky was already dark.

Just as He Song was about to leave, Wei Fan leaned forward and whispered a sentence in He Song's ear.

"Fellow cultivator, after you return this time, if someone comes to visit, don't casually dismiss them, that person has some secrets."

"It is a chance encounter, I hope fellow cultivator will not decline."

As these words fell, Wei Fan smiled slightly at He Song, turned around and bid farewell.

Meng Guan and Dark Crane, seeing this, also did not show any surprised expressions, and also chose to bid farewell and leave.

Seeing this situation, a hint of doubt flashed in He Song's eyes.

But immediately thinking of the chance encounter Wei Fan spoke of in his words.

He Song's heart became curious again.

Chance encounter?

What chance encounter?

Wasn't today for seeing off White Cloud True Person leaving?

How is it that after waiting for White Cloud True Person to leave, he's told that there will be some chance encounter?

Could it be... that White Cloud True Person prepared something for himself before leaving?

It seems, after returning to his residence, he needs to wait a bit, wait for someone to come visiting.

Thinking these things in his heart, He Song also did not stay in White Cloud True Person's residence, turned around and returned to his own residence.

White Cloud True Person's residence, naturally someone will clean it up and keep it for later use.

After returning to his own residence.

He Song placed Jade in front of him, while casually grabbing a handful of Hundred Beast Pill to continuously attract Jade to walk forward, while waiting for the chance encounter Wei Fan spoke of to come to his door.

Did not make He Song wait too long.

It seemed as if they already knew when He Song would return.

When Jade finally ate a Hundred Beast Pill.

Then he heard someone knocking on the door outside the residence, requesting an audience.

Seeing this situation, He Song immediately tidied his clothes and hat, and casually placed Jade into a pool of water.

Only then did he casually wave a Magical Power, opening the residence gate.

"Come in."

As He Song's voice fell, an old man, trembling and tottering, supported by a young man, walked in from the residence gate.

Neither the old man nor the young man had any cultivation.

Moreover, the old man was clearly already nearing the end of his life.

If it weren't for the young man supporting him, He Song even worried he wouldn't be able to cross the threshold of his residence.

However, seeing this combination of old man and young man, a strange light flashed in He Song's eyes.

In the cultivation world.

Especially within Immortal Cities.

There is a type of person whose existence makes everyone pale at the mention.

These people are mortals specially selected to do things for important figures.

What important figures want to do, naturally it is impossible to do everything personally.

Some dirty work, tiring work, how could important figures possibly do it themselves.

And if they select a mortal from among common people who is tight-lipped and efficient in doing things, specifically to do these things.

Promise them gold and silver treasures, a life of wealth.

I'm afraid very few people could refuse.

Cultivators' lifespans are generally much longer than mortals'.

After this person dies, if they have no descendants, these secrets will naturally be buried deep underground.

If there are descendants, then employ their descendants to do things for oneself, things will be even more concealed.

The reason for not seeking cultivators is because cultivators can cultivate, have too many desires, and are difficult to keep secrets.

If their cultivation becomes high, there is also the danger of backfire.

Therefore, almost no one would specifically entrust these things to cultivators to do.

At the same time.

Although this person is a mortal.

But with the status of an important figure suppressing them, no one would dare to disobey.

This person's actions represent that important figure behind them.

If the matter ever comes to light.

Erasing the traces of a mortal is an easy matter for any cultivator.

In this way.

For the important figure behind them, it is very safe.
