Chapter 1565: Chapter 984: The Emergence of Opportunity_2

Not to mention, beside Qing Feng stood two formidable puppets, Xianyun and Ye He, one at Nascent Soul Late Stage and the other at Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Under the siege of these three forces, if it weren’t for their own notable strength, they likely would have fallen in an instant.

As for these Nascent Soul cultivators who scattered at a single touch, He Song didn’t order Qing Feng and the others to pursue them.

Instead, they continued to head deeper into the cave mansion.

A Nascent Soul Cave Abode.

The most priceless treasures are almost always located in the depths of the abode, within the retreat chamber of its master.

Qing Feng and the others were already a step too late.

If they didn’t hurry, it would be difficult to secure many treasures even if they scared off all others.

With this thought in mind, He Song immediately commanded Qing Feng and the others to move forward, heading deeper into the cave mansion.

However, just as Qing Feng and the others moved swiftly toward the depths of the cave mansion…

Inside these depths of the Nascent Soul Cave Abode,

two Nascent Soul cultivators were engaged in an intense battle. Each of their moves was ruthless, as if they were aiming to completely annihilate the other.

Unfortunately,

these two Nascent Soul cultivators both had cultivation at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

Thus, even though it seemed that true animosity had flared between them, neither could overpower the other, leaving them venting their wrath in a prolonged confrontation.

When Qing Feng and the other puppets arrived at the depths of the cave mansion, this was the scene that greeted them.

Upon witnessing this,

one of the three puppets silently separated itself and disappeared within the cave mansion, seemingly searching for other treasures.

Meanwhile, Qing Feng, at the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, and Ye He, at the Nascent Soul Late Stage,

moved together, approaching the two battling Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators from a distance.

With the arrival of Qing Feng and Ye He,

the two battling Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, already locked in heated combat, shifted their gazes warily toward Qing Feng and Ye He, in addition to being cautious of each other.

However, seeing that Qing Feng and Ye He did not make a move, the two cultivators did not stop fighting either. They merely lessened the intensity of their attacks, as if wary of Qing Feng and Ye He’s intervention.

He Song observed this in silence, a thought flickering through his mind.

He understood that the presence of Qing Feng and Ye He was the reason for this cautious behavior.

Qing Feng and Ye He’s cultivation was formidable. If they were to side with one party, the other would undoubtedly face instant defeat.

At that point, escape would hardly be an option.

Moreover, the two cultivators didn’t recognize Qing Feng and Ye He,

and they couldn’t be certain whether Qing Feng and Ye He were affiliated with any of their enemies.

In such a situation, these two naturally couldn’t risk going all out as they had before.

Instead, they immediately lessened their attacks and refocused much of their attention on Qing Feng and Ye He, guarding against being ambushed.

As He Song took note of the duo’s behavior,

he quickly understood their thoughts.

Still, He Song chose not to command Qing Feng and Ye He to immediately attack the two Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators before them.

Instead, he silently observed the unfolding scene.

Qing Feng and Ye He, as expected, stood motionless like mere onlookers, quietly taking in the events before them.

Of course, He Song could afford to watch silently,

but the two dueling Nascent Soul cultivators were growing increasingly anxious.

They didn’t know whether Qing Feng and Ye He were there to support their opponent.

Nor did they know,

whether Qing Feng and Ye He, in their silence, had already struck some kind of deal with their adversary.

But what they did know was this:

If Qing Feng and Ye He were to ally with their enemy,

they would instantly face an onslaught from two Nascent Soul Late Stage powerhouses and one Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivator.

No Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator could withstand such a formation.

Thus, in their desperation, both cultivators wasted no time attempting to win over Qing Feng and Ye He.

They began offering vast resources and numerous treasures to entice Qing Feng and Ye He to their side.

And time,

slowly passed amidst their competitive offers.

However, even as their offers reached what they believed to be the maximum they could provide,

Qing Feng and Ye He remained silent, merely watching the pair with detachment, as if observing two monkeys dancing about.

When the bids climbed ever higher,

a certain moment arrived.

A transparent light screen suddenly enveloped everyone within the bounds of the Nascent Soul Cave Abode.

At the same time, Qing Feng and Ye He, joined by Xianyun, who had been setting up an array in secret, began moving.

The instant the Xuanyang Ice Soul Array was completed, Qing Feng immediately took full control of it, channeling his immense Nascent Soul Perfection mana to activate it with great force.

Xianyun and Ye He, on the other hand, immediately charged deeper into the cave mansion upon Qing Feng’s control over the Xuanyang Ice Soul Array.

Under He Song’s command, their objective was to search for the greatest fortune within the depths of this Nascent Soul Cave Abode:

the corpse of the cave owner and all of their possessions.

With the coordinated movements of the three puppets,

the two Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, previously locked in combat, underwent a dramatic change in expression.

They had never expected that Qing Feng and Ye He were not alone.

In the shadows, a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator proficient in array formations had been concealed all along.

By the time they realized this, the Xuanyang Ice Soul Array had already been activated, entombing them securely inside.

As their vision blurred,

they found themselves suddenly transported to a snow-covered expanse.

The freezing winds of this land were so intense that even the mana of these two Nascent Soul cultivators began to freeze.

This sudden development,

clearly indicated that Qing Feng had finally launched an attack on the two Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators.

Under the envelopment of the Xuanyang Ice Soul Array, these two cultivators stood no chance of stirring up any significant resistance.

However, Qing Feng didn’t immediately annihilate them.

Instead, he quickly began scouring his memory for any information on these two individuals.

Prior to this, He Song had meticulously gathered extensive intelligence about Nascent Soul cultivators.

Now, this knowledge proved useful.

Soon,

He Song recalled detailed information about the two cultivators.

Neither of these Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators hailed from the Deity Transforming Holy Land.

Instead, they were from separate Nascent Soul Forces.

However, the Nascent Soul Forces they belonged to weren’t ordinary. Their respective Upper Sects each boasted nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators, making them formidable powers.

Notably,

the two cultivators’ Upper Sects were mortal enemies, each wishing to eliminate the other.

This deep-seated animosity explained why the two had fought so fiercely upon crossing paths here.

As He Song processed their background,

he hesitated before deciding against killing them outright.

Their origins were anything but insignificant.

Their respective Nascent Soul Upper Sects were among the elites of the Cultivation World, each boasting nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators.

Should He Song slay both of them, these sects would undoubtedly brand him as their sworn enemy.

In that case,

his puppets–Qing Feng, Xianyun, and Ye He–would struggle to operate around the territory of either sect in the future.

If either sect uncovered evidence, He Song might lose one of his priceless Nascent Soul puppets.

Hence, weighing the pros and cons, He Song chose to imprison the two for now and focus on thoroughly looting the Nascent Soul Cave Abode before making any further moves.

As for whether to kill or spare them afterward,

He Song’s thoughts began to crystallize.

After all,

these two, and the rival Upper Sects behind them, shared a vendetta.

If he killed one and spared the other…

perhaps the situation wouldn’t unfold as disastrously as He Song feared.
