Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Under the joint attack of Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang, the lone [Blue-eyed Demon Butterfly] was quickly killed.

Before the two of them could catch their breath, a majestic aura soon came from behind them.

"Damn it, these beasts will never stop." Niu Dazhuang spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm stained with blood and cursed in a low voice.

"Stop complaining, hurry up and retreat."

The high-intensity battle just now almost exhausted Song Changsheng's physical strength, and Niu Dazhuang was also seriously injured. If he was caught up, there would be almost no other possibility except death.

The two evacuated the arena as quickly as possible, with several big monsters chasing them closely.

Fortunately, the more powerful monsters on the periphery have accepted the call of the Monster King [Six-Winged Dragon Snake] and are not in their own territories, so the way forward for Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang is very smooth.

The two men ran for their lives, with almost no time to breathe for several days and nights. Fortunately, they were not ordinary people. Although they were chased all over the place, Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang still managed to escape.

A few days later, looking at the turbulent Canglan River, the two felt a sense of familiarity in their hearts. As long as they crossed the river, they could return to Tuozhou and return to the territory of the human race. Then they would be safe.

It took them less than an hour to cross the river.

"Wow—"

At this moment, a sharp cry was heard in the air. Song Changsheng's face suddenly changed. He looked up and saw a ray of golden light passing through the gray energy layer.

"It's that Red-tailed Golden Eagle. Damn it, it's guarding us here." Niu Dazhuang's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Song Changsheng said with a gloomy face: "It has long been recorded that the Red-tailed Golden Eagle is the most vengeful. I have never had the chance to see it before, but this time I finally got to see it."

Almost half a month had passed since they crossed the river, but the Red-tailed Golden Eagle still hadn't given up.

"What should we do? Take a detour?" Niu Dazhuang asked quickly as he looked at the evil birds swarming behind him.

Now it is like a situation where there are wolves in front and tigers behind, and we can neither advance nor retreat.

Song Changsheng's mind raced. He glanced at the turbulent river and gritted his teeth, saying, "Let's go by water!"

"Water route?" Niu Dazhuang was suddenly shocked. There were quite a few water monsters hidden under the Canglan River.

"There is no other way."

After saying that, Song Changsheng leaped forward and rushed into the icy river like a sharp arrow.

Seeing this, Niu Dazhuang gritted his teeth and followed.

With the brief appearance of two huge waves, the two were soon swallowed up by the rushing river.

Upon seeing this, the Red-tailed Golden Eagle let out a sharp and piercing roar, wanting to continue chasing. However, as he looked at the emerald green river, a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

Underwater, that is the world of water monsters.

On the other side, a group of demon birds led by the surviving [Blue-eyed Demon Butterfly] that came to chase Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang were also in trouble. Although they were all from the same demon clan, they had always kept to themselves, and the consequences would be unpredictable if they rashly spread the virus.

The leading [Blue Eyes and Red Manes Griffin] blew out a stream of milky white air from its nostrils and said in a cold voice, “Let’s go back and report to the King.”

"But...what if the king blames me?" asked [Blue-Eyed Demon Butterfly] timidly.

They and the [Giant Winged Sky Eagle] were the first group to chase the two, but not only did they fail to complete the mission, they also lost the [Giant Winged Sky Eagle] that the [Six-Winged Dragon Snake] valued the most. Now they are already in prison, and if they go back empty-handed, their life or death is unpredictable.

"Are you questioning me?" The [Blue-Eyed Red-Maned Griffin] turned its head and looked at it, its green eyes flashing with a cold light.

The Blue-Eyed Demonic Butterfly was shocked when he heard that. The Green-Eyed Red-Maned Griffin was one of the strongest warriors under the Six-Winged Dragon Snake. It could not compare to him in terms of status or strength. He quickly bowed his head and said, "I have absolutely no such intention."

"Humph!"

[Blue-Eyed and Red-Maned Griffin] snorted coldly, flapped its wings and flew into the depths of the demon realm.

The group of big monsters that came with it also returned.

On the other side, Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang had hidden their auras and hid in the depths of the Canglan River.

The river was bottomless and silent. From time to time, water monsters swam past the two of them but failed to notice their presence.

The two of them moved forward cautiously in the river. After more than an hour, they finally stepped onto the soft land without any danger.

After getting ashore, Niu Dazhuang sat down on the ground without caring about his image, then stretched out his arms and lay straight down, saying comfortably: "Damn, I finally got ashore. You worried about me all the way."

Their way of crossing the river was extremely dangerous, but they were extremely lucky. They did not encounter any third-level water monsters along the way, and they also avoided some second-level water monsters they encountered from afar.

If you are unlucky, you will not be able to reach the shore safely.

Song Changsheng also leaned against the thick trunk of a larch, closed his eyes, and slowly recovered his strength. He had not rested for several days and nights.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two finally recovered a little. Song Changsheng walked up to Niu Dazhuang and said, "It's time for us to go. We must report everything we see and hear in the Monster Realm to our Master as soon as possible."

"Okay." Niu Dazhuang stood up with a somersault, and then the two of them rushed to the Five Elements Peak as quickly as possible and took the space teleportation array back to Luoxia City.

Upon learning that the two had returned, Zhan Tianxia immediately met them.

"What's the situation?" Zhan Tianxia asked quickly.

Song Changsheng shook his head and said, "The situation is not optimistic. The demon king that survived the thunder tribulation was a [Six-winged Dragon Snake]. The single horn on its head reached ten feet long. It gathered more than 200,000 low-level demon beasts and a large number of third-level demon beasts. When the beast tide really comes, the number will definitely be much more."

"Ten feet?"

Hearing his words, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Zhan Tianxia's eyes. The horn on the head of the [Six-Winged Dragon Snake] comes from the real dragon blood in its body. The longer the horn, the more "dragon blood" there is in its body, and naturally the stronger its strength will be.

The [Six-Winged Dragon Snake] with a horn that is ten feet long has not appeared for hundreds of years. It is definitely a tough opponent.

In comparison, the 200,000 low-level monsters seemed less surprising.

Zhan Tianxia walked slowly around the hall with his hands behind his back, and then said in a deep voice: "Da Zhuang, go to the City Lord's Mansion immediately and ask them to notify the disciples in the city to prepare for battle. Also send a message to your fourth uncle to have Dingyuan City sealed off immediately. Other places must not relax either, and must be prepared to deal with the beast tide."

"Disciple obeys!" Niu Dazhuang bowed and accepted the order, then immediately started to act.

"Changsheng, the situation is urgent. I need to ask Senior Brother to come out of seclusion. Please do as you please."

After saying that, Zhan Tianxia also left the hall in a hurry.

After both of them left, Song Changsheng naturally had no reason to stay here any longer. After looking at Zhuang Yuechan, he took the space teleportation array back to the family. At this moment, all departments of the Song family had been mobilized under the command of Song Luzhou according to his instructions.

A large number of elixirs, magic tools, and talismans were moved out of the treasury, and the air was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

Song Changsheng didn't know how many monsters Zhangye County would face, so he could only ask Song Luzhou to mobilize as many forces as possible to provide reinforcements without affecting the operation of the family.

"Changsheng, the tribesmen have completed the coordination."

Seeing Song Changsheng returning, Song Luzhou hurriedly came forward and said.

"Fifth uncle, how many people can the family mobilize now?"

"Without affecting the operation of the clan, we can currently mobilize 200 elite soldiers to Zhangye County to resist the beast tide. Together with the 60 people from the Zhangye Garrison, and nearly 100 clan members from Yulong, our defense force will be close to 350 people."

This number is not small, and it is more than enough to deal with a small group of beasts, but Song Changsheng still feels that it is not safe enough. He pondered for a while and said, "Fifth uncle, please go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to issue a task and recruit the monks of the major affiliated forces to guard with us.

The reward is family contribution points, and the points are determined by the grade and number of monsters they kill.

In addition, I have released the news in advance that after this battle, there will be [Foundation Building Pills] for them to exchange for."

"If you want to recruit them to join the war, why don't you just give an order? Why do you have to go through the trouble of issuing a mission?" Song Luzhou asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Song Changsheng smiled and said: "As the sect leader, I can naturally force them to join the battle, but the safety of the Five Elements Peak has nothing to do with them after all. Not only will they not do their best, they will also develop a rebellious mentality.

This will be detrimental to the family's future rule.

Posting missions is different. This is to use the family contribution points as a reward to hire them to participate in the battle. Whether to accept the mission is entirely voluntary. Although the number of people may not be ideal, the strength demonstrated is definitely not small. "

After listening to Song Changsheng's explanation, Song Luzhou pondered for a while and understood the key point. He nodded and said, "I see, you have thought it through. I will go now."

After watching Song Luzhou leave, Song Changsheng went to the back mountain again, but he did not go to the Fengyu Palace. Instead, he went underground through a hidden underground passage.

The further you go in, the higher the temperature becomes. This is against common sense, but Song Changsheng is not surprised at all.

There are a large number of fire veins buried under the mountain, which are used by Lu Tianchou to refine the skyship. If we only talk about the temperature, it is only slightly inferior to the third-level fire spirit veins of the Lieyan Mountain.

When Song Changsheng arrived at the forging room, Lu Tianchou was directing a group of weapon refiners and formation masters, working busily.

"Clan leader."

"I've met the clan leader."

……

Seeing Song Changsheng coming, everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted him.

Unexpectedly, this aroused Lu Tianchou's dissatisfaction, and he said sternly: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Your mission has been completed. The sky ship is extraordinary. I need you to concentrate all your attention and go all out. If you can't do it, get out of here immediately!"

Those present were all weapon refiners and formation masters. They were scarce resources and would be looked up to wherever they were. They were also always proud of their identities.

Lu Tianchou's words did not give them any face at all. If someone else dared to speak to them like this, they would probably just quit.

However, faced with such a bad attitude from Lu Tianchou, they did not express their dissatisfaction, but just silently continued with their tasks.

There was no way. None of them wanted to leave here. Being able to personally participate in the forging of the skyship was an opportunity that many weapon refiners and formation masters dreamed of.

In the past six years, they have reaped a lot.

Not to mention that their attitude is just a little bad, they won't leave even if you directly kick them out.

Song Changsheng touched his nose awkwardly and asked, "Did I disturb you?"

"Huh, you still know that." Lu Tianchou said with a glare and puffed his beard.

Lu Yuxiu quickly pulled his sleeve, knelt down and saluted, saying, "Patriarch, you are too kind. It is our honor to have you come to inspect in person. How can we bother you?"

Since the official construction of the Skyship, Lu Tianchou's temper has become more and more irritable. Song Changsheng is no longer surprised. He cleared his throat and said, "Master Lu, I came here today to ask about the progress. The monsters in the Monster Domain have been making unusual movements recently. The beast tide may come at any time. The family needs the power of the Skyship."

Hearing the words "beast tide", Lu Tianchou, who was originally a little impatient, became a little serious and said in a deep voice: "Come with me."

After that, the two of them came to the [Black Starship] that was being rebuilt.

Compared with six years ago, the Black Starship has changed greatly in appearance. Judging from the keel alone, its length has reached at least fifty meters, much longer than before.

“After six years of unremitting efforts, the [Black Starship] has been completely transformed. Although it is still a little far from being a true spaceship, it has already formed combat effectiveness.

If the clan leader needs it, I can have it reassembled. But there is one thing that needs special attention. It is still using the same driving core as before, and its speed is far slower than that of a third-level monster. If it gets close to it, it can only passively take the beating.

However, I have improved its armor, and it is no longer as vulnerable to big monsters as before, so it should be able to hold out for a while."

Lu Tianchou looked down at the huge [Black Starship] from a high place and spoke in a calm tone.

Song Changsheng was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Lu."

With the [Black Star Ship], our side is equivalent to adding a Purple Mansion combat force, and the confidence of this battle is much greater!

After leaving the forging room, a deacon from the Wind Whispering Hall quickly handed him the latest information he had obtained.

"Tuozhou is fully preparing for war. More than 3,000 Luoxia City disciples have been mobilized. The Grand City Lord has come out of seclusion and is heading to Dingyuan City to take charge."

After reading this short message, Song Changsheng's eyes narrowed slightly. Like the Song family, Luoxia City was also trying its best to deal with this beast tide.

"I hope no one will hold us back this time." Song Changsheng gently put down the jade slip in his hand, and his voice drifted away with the wind...

Luoxia City and the Song family were actively preparing for war, and the size of the herd of beasts gathering around the [Six-Winged Dragon Snake] was growing larger and larger.

Until one day, the [Six-Winged Dragon Snake] looked in the direction of the Da Qi cultivation world and spat out a few cold words.

"attack!"

In an instant, the monsters were in an uproar.
