Hidden Killing Intent

After He Song emerged from seclusion.

He Song did not have to wait long.

Xiao Qing soon arrived at He Song's residence.

During the month He Song had spent in seclusion, Xiao Qing had not thrown herself into Treasure Gathering Pavilion affairs.

Instead, as True Monarch Shadow Fox had previously instructed, she had kept a close watch on the changes in the formations at He Song's residence.

A month earlier, after Xiao Qing had left He Song's residence and seen him activate the formations within it.

She had come by from time to time to observe.

And today.

After the formations at He Song's residence were suddenly withdrawn.

Xiao Qing naturally hurried over at once.

Inside He Song's residence.

Within the exquisite little pavilion.

After Xiao Qing greeted He Song, she sat facing him once more at his gesture.

Handing Xiao Qing another small cup of Golden Core spirit tea, He Song spoke softly.

"Has anything significant happened outside over this past month?"

"Has that Ghost-Faced True Monarch left Yan Yun Prefecture?"

Now that He Song had successfully refined that cultivator's Golden Core into a Golden Core puppet.

Ghost-Faced True Monarch's existence no longer had much impact on him.

Yet He Song still wished to know Ghost-Faced True Monarch's recent circumstances.

After all, He Song's various speculations about Ghost-Faced True Monarch had only ever been speculations.

Though He Song's instincts sensed that something was amiss, he himself had never discovered anything truly suspicious.

In other words.

He Song still did not know Ghost-Faced True Monarch's actual cultivation.

He was merely willing to act according to what his instincts told him.

Therefore.

When He Song emerged from seclusion again after a month.

He immediately wished to learn more about Ghost-Faced True Monarch.

If Ghost-Faced True Monarch had left Yan Yun Prefecture
