Chapter 580: Chapter 492: Soul Breaking Out of the Mountain

“I just didn’t expect that Tian Jue True Monarch had participated in this war from the beginning.”

“If it had not been for him, the Sun Faction would have definitely gained much more in this battle.”

“What a pity…”

“Sigh.”

“It seems that the Sun Faction may not be able to hold onto Cloud State.”

“I wonder what kind of situation Master will find himself in, and whether those Demonic Cultivators will do something outrageous.”

Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the thin paper, He Song sighed inwardly.

As expected.

The situation was getting worse.

After hearing from Master Luo Jing about the deeds of Tian Jue True Monarch, He Song had the same idea as her.

The Sun Faction probably wouldn’t benefit much from this sneak attack.

Now, as the truth unfolded before his eyes, He Song gained a deeper understanding of Master Luo Jing’s words and her speculations.

It turned out that Master Luo Jing’s thoughts were not wrong at all.

This Tian Jue True Monarch, as expected, was a leader among his peers, with strong combat capabilities.

Having such a figure leading the Demonic Cultivators and showing them the way, the morale-boost they experienced was significant.

Under the strong support of Tian Jue True Monarch, this situation would become even more apparent.

With him leading, even if they were caught off-guard and the Demonic Cultivators were in chaos for the moment.

As long as Tian Jue True Monarch was there, the Demonic Cultivators would quickly gather around him and fight alongside him.

As long as Nascent Soul cultivators don’t come out, the existence of Tian Jue True Monarch would be the ceiling of their combat capabilities.

With him alone engaging against two to three Nascent Soul Grand Perfection Cultivators, the pressure on others would naturally lighten, and they could even counterattack as well.

And by that time…

The Sun Faction cultivators would inevitably be at a disadvantage when the tables turned.

Now, the Sun Faction and God Locking Sect were confronted at the scene of the original battle between good and evil, and what would happen next was quite obvious.

Unless the Sun Faction had some hidden trump cards to cope with this crisis.

Otherwise, the fall of Cloud State was just a matter of time.

With that in mind, He Song shook his head and stored the thin paper away in his storage pouch.

Then, he took out another piece of writing, thanking and comforting Master Luo Jing in response to her letter.

Even if the God Locking Sect attacked Cloud State, Master Zi Shan would not get involved in this matter as long as he didn’t participate, and there would be no reprisal against him.

After all, Master Zi Shan was a member of the Treasure Pavilion and not part of the Sun Faction.

After writing the response to Master Luo Jing, He Song wrote another letter and sent it to Meng Guan and Wei Fan, who were still at the Sun Faction’s entrance.

In the letter, He Song informed them that the Sun Faction had not gained any advantage in this sneak attack, and reminded them not to participate in this battle unless necessary.

If they encountered Tian Jue True Monarch, they should avoid him at all costs.

Only in this way could they ensure their lives were not threatened.

Furthermore, he asked the two of them to be prepared to preserve themselves in case of no other option.

After a few more reminders, He Song stopped and continued to immerse himself in his retreat.

However,

As He Song was in seclusion,

Meng Guan and Wei Fan, who were far away at the Sun Faction’s entrance, were now facing a dilemma after looking at the two letters in front of them.

Meng Guan had received two letters, one after the other.

One was from He Song.

The content was, of course, kindly reminding them not to get involved in this battle unless necessary.

The other one was from Sect Leader of the Sun Faction.

The content was about asking Meng Guan to prepare and head to the frontline to fight with the Demonic Cultivators of the God Locking Sect.

If these two letters had appeared separately, Meng Guan would have agreed with the reasonings in both.

Whether it was He Song asking him to keep away from the battle,

Or the Sun Faction’s Sect Leader asking him to join the battle,

He would readily agree.

On one hand, he had the well-meaning reminder from a friend; on the other hand, he had the order from Sect Leader True Monarch.

If the contents of these two letters weren’t contradictory, he wouldn’t refuse either.

But…

These two letters arrived one after the other, and the contents were diametrically opposed.

In this situation, Meng Guan naturally found himself in a dilemma.

Should he go?

Or should he not?

If he went, wouldn’t he be disregarding He Song’s advice and plunging himself into danger on the battlefield?

But if he didn’t go, how would he explain his reason to the Sect Leader True Monarch?

He couldn’t possibly say that he was afraid of death and did not dare to go, right?

When he first joined the Sun Faction, he didn’t have such thoughts.

After all, hadn’t he come to the Sun Faction to participate in this battle, to temper himself in it, and to become stronger?

Before joining the Sun Faction, he had learned from He Song that the Sun Faction might have to fight a fierce battle with the God Locking Sect.

And that was exactly why he had traveled from the territory of the Golden Snake Sect to the territory of the Sun Faction and eventually joined them.

He had even brought Wei Fan with him to join the Sun Faction together.

Under such circumstances, even if he personally mentioned the fear of battle and not wanting to join it, the Sect Leader True Monarch might not believe his words.

Perhaps, he would even be considered an insider and be executed to set an example.

Faced with such a situation, Meng Guan naturally hesitated in his heart.

However,

Just after Meng Guan and Wei Fan looked at the two letters in front of them and hesitated for quite a while…
