As Master Qingyue’s eyes swept over the various scenes inside the Thick Earth Sect, there was a flash of nostalgia in her eyes.

Beside her,

He Song also looked in the same direction, but he didn’t feel as sentimental as Master Qingyue.

This Thick Earth Sect.

He Song had also lived here for more than ten years.

It was only a few years ago that he finally moved out and built his own cave mansion.

Thus, his return to the sect this time could not be considered a long-awaited homecoming, but merely a few years of wandering outside.

Just a few years.

It was not enough for He Song to feel sentimental. However,

As He Song’s gaze fell into the sect’s mountain gate,

The appearance of a tunneling light made him raise his eyebrows slightly.

This tunneling light…

It seemed familiar.

And why did he feel deja vu as it got closer and closer to him?

For a moment, He Song felt an inexplicable familiarity as he looked at the tunneling light flying in from afar.

It seemed like he had experienced this scene before.

He Song quickly realized what was happening.

It seemed that something similar had happened when he first entered the Thick Earth Sect.

At that time,

He Song looked towards the sect, and saw the tunneling light flying in from afar.

At that time,

He Song was also riding on Master Qingyue’s spirit boat.

At that time,

He Song felt the tunneling light coming closer and closer, getting nearer and nearer.

At that time…

A flash of insight appeared in his eyes, and He Song’s gaze swept over to find a familiar face.

In the light, the figure of Master Yuan Shan appeared indistinctly.

Cultivators had excellent memories.

Even more than ten years later, He Song could still recognize Master Yuan Shan’s appearance.

The moment He Song saw Master Yuan Shan, he immediately understood where the familiar feeling in his heart came from.

More than a decade ago,

Didn’t Master Yuan Shan intercept him in the same way as today when he was about to enter the Thick Earth Sect? Under He Song’s watchful gaze,

In no time,

Master Yuan Shan’s light fell on Master Oängyue’s spirit boat.

As the light scattered, Master Yuan Shan’s figure appeared on the spirit boat. He looked at the two of them and spoke.

“Greetings to Mr. Qing Yue and Mr. He,” Master Yuan Shan said without arrogance, greeting the two with a polite bow.

“Greetings to Master Yuan Shan,” Master Qingyue returned the gesture.

“Greetings to Master Yuan Shan,” He Song also bowed. After the three had exchanged greetings,

A look of shame appeared on Master Yuan Shan’s face.

His gaze fell on Master Qingyue,

And he immediately said,

“Master Qingyue, I trust you’ve been well. I apologize for my offenses in the past; I hope you can be magnanimous.”

At this moment, the Sect Leader’s faction and Master Yan Shan’s faction had reconciled, no longer openly fighting or secretly undermining each other.

Naturally, when facing Master Qingyue, who belonged to a different faction, Master Yuan Shan no longer harbored ill intentions and instead sought to make amends.

As a Foundation Establishment Realm Master,

No one would be a fool.

Previously, the offensive words were only because of factional differences and the need to take a stand for the higher-ups.

Now that the two sides had reconciled and even worked closely together, there was no need to act as before.

Mending the relationship at this moment would be following the general trend.

“Master Yuan Shan, you’re too serious. We all have our duties, and there’s no offense. I’ve also been disrespectful in the past, and I hope you can be magnanimous,” said Master Qingyue.

With Master Yuan Shan’s intention of mending the relationship, Master Qingyue naturally wouldn’t give him the cold shoulder.

They were fellow disciples, after all, and their previous conflicts were just factional disputes.

Now that they were working closely together, she wouldn’t go out of her way to offend a Foundation Establishment Realm Master.

Therefore,

With both sides seeking to mend their relationship, the tension between them quickly dissipated.

Once the relationship between the two was more or less mended, Master Yuan Shan turned his gaze to He Song.

This time, his main target for the investigation was He Song.

After all, he was a newly promoted Foundation Establishment Realm Master, and as a gatekeeper, he needed to come and learn more about him.

It was only because the two sides were already acquainted that he didn’t ask about it right away.

Now that the time was ripe, it was time to raise the question.

“This…”

Looking at He Song and then at Master Qingyue, Master Yuan Shan opened his mouth but didn’t continue, appearing as if he was listening attentively.

It seemed like he was waiting for the two of them to speak.

Seeing this,

Before He Song could even speak, Master Qingyue said what he wanted to say.

“Two years ago, Mr. He failed his Foundation Establishment, causing damage to his Dao heart. Therefore, he left the sect to mend his heart.”

“As a result, he came all the way to Green Wall Immortal City, repaired his Dao heart, and broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in an inn there.”

“I witnessed it myself, so I personally escorted him back to the sect to ensure his safety on the way.”

“He is a disciple of the sect. The incident just occurred for a reason, and he established his foundation outside.”

“Now that he’s back at the sect, he intends to meet with the Sect Leader and assume the position of Elder.”

Listening to the crisp voices in his ears, He Song looked towards Master Qing Yue, and couldn’t help but secretly sigh.

His decision to pretend to establish the foundation in the Green Wall Immortal City was the right one.

With Master Qing Yue’s assistance, his Foundation Establishment in Green Wall Immortal City would be a sure thing.

At this moment.

Even if he said he had already established the foundation, and he only went to Green Wall Immortal City just to cover up, no one would believe it.

However, this was exactly what He Song wanted.

His original plan was just like this.

Now that Master Qing Yue cooperated so well, He Song looked at her with admiration.

It seemed.

Master Qing Yue really got things done.

From the side.

Having listened to Master Qing Yue’s description, Master Yuan Shan’s eyes glinted with comprehension.

He had met He Song before, but the two had not communicated much.

However, both He Song and Master Yuan Shan had seen each other before, and knew each other existed.

Master Yuan Shan even discovered when He Song sneaked out of the sect and didn’t catch him on the spot. Instead, he let Wei Fan inform He Song that if he wanted to leave the sect, he could just say so, there was no need for Earth Tunneling.

There were two Foundation Establishment Realm friends behind He Song.

Compared to the average outer disciple, their backgrounds were much deeper.

Now that He Song has also achieved Foundation Establishment.

Combined with Meng Guan and Wei Fan, the three of them would be a powerful force in the Thick Earth Sect.

This force was not to be underestimated even inside the Thick Earth Sect.

Under such circumstances, after hearing Master Qing Yue’s description, Master Yuan Shan had confidence in his heart.

He believed that what Master Qing Yue said must be true, that He Song left the sect to breakthrough in order to mend his Dao heart.

As for other things.

Such as colluding with the Seven Star Sect to obtain Elixir.

With He Song’s identity and the resources he had, there was no need for him to do so.

After all.

Having two Foundation Establishment Realm friends, He Song could get the Foundation Establishment Elixir just by talking. Why would he risk dying and implicating his friends by becoming a traitor?

Moreover.

The Seven Star Sect has been trapped inside the mountain gate and hasn’t come out for a long time. They don’t have the ability to develop traitors within the Thick Earth Sect anymore.

Various conjectures flashed through his mind.

Eventually.

Master Yuan Shan quickly nodded, no longer doubting Master Qing Yue’s words.

As for why He Song left the sect to breakthrough, he had a clear idea in his mind.

Presumably, it was as Master Qing Yue said, due to the damage to his Dao heart that he left the sect to repair it. After repairing his Dao heart, he would then break through in the nearby Green Wall Immortal City.

After coming to this conclusion, Master Yuan Shan bowed his hands towards

He Song.

“Mr. He, please excuse me for my duty.”

“I will leave first, good luck to both of you.”

Having said these words, Master Yuan Shan did not linger. He lept off the spirit boat and turned into tunneling light in mid-air, heading back in the direction he came from.

Seeing Master Yuan Shan leave.

Master Qing Yue looked at He Song and gave him a faint smile, saying.

“Mr. He, you don’t need to take it to heart. He has responsibilities, and his involvement was just a routine matter.”

Hearing this, He Song nodded but didn’t say anything.

Master Yuan Shan’s arrival was unexpected, but fortunately, the matter was perfectly resolved. Now, there was no need to worry about any unexpected incidents in the future.

His departure from the sect for a breakthrough would have a conclusion after this incident.

Even if a Golden Elixir Master asked about it, there would be no flaws in his departure from the sect to breakthrough.

In this way.

He Song’s plan to return to the Thick Earth Sect was successfully completed.

Next.

As long as he didn’t expose any flaws when he meets the Sect Leader, he could cultivate and become stronger within the Thick Earth Sect as a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

However, thinking about the upcoming meeting with the Sect Leader, He Song felt a little helpless.

If it were not for the fact that after the breakthrough in Foundation Establishment, he had to meet the Sect Leader in order to be promoted to an elder position.

He wouldn’t have wanted to meet the Sect Leader.

Although Master Fa Xuan wouldn’t harm him.

However, the feeling of having his life in someone else’s hands still made He Song very uncomfortable.

That’s why he wanted to move away from the Thick Earth Sect.

But there is no choice now.

If he wants to get various resources within the Thick Earth Sect, he has to go through the process.

After psychologically preparing himself, He Song and Master Qing Yue quickly arrived at the main peak of the Thick Earth Sect.

Master Qing Yue seemed to be very familiar with the main peak.

She led He Song up the main peak, constantly climbing upwards.

Soon, the two of them arrived in front of a great hall at the top of the main peak.

“Junior Qing Yue, with the newly founded Cultivator He Song, is requesting an audience with Sect Leader Master.”

Bringing He Song to this place, Master Qing Yue bowed her hands and spoke.

He Song, seeing the situation, immediately followed suit, bowing his hands in salute as well.

He was about to face a Golden Elixir Master directly.

He Song’s face was calm, but his heart tightened.

What he hoped for now was that there would be no accidents.

Thinking of this, He Song thought of Meng Guan and Wei Fan.

Both of them had seen the Sect Leader before.

They were fine.

He should be fine too.

As this thought settled in his mind, He Song’s nerves eased, and some of his worries disappeared..
