Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"This must be the leader of the Song clan. What's the matter? Did I touch your sore spot? Do you want to take action?" Feng Lan smiled, and he made full use of the saying that the wicked are the first to complain.

Although he had heard of Song Changsheng's name a long time ago, seeing is believing. Behind him stood a late Purple Mansion cultivator and a middle Purple Mansion cultivator. This was the source of his confidence, and he was not afraid of Song Changsheng fighting with him.

Unexpectedly, Song Changsheng ignored him and instead cast his gaze towards the late Purple Mansion cultivator from Tianxiao Sect. He said calmly, "My fellow Daoist, can I understand that this is the Tianxiao Sect's attitude towards this matter?"

It is true that the Tianxiao Sect is a Jindan Sect, but this is the Da Qi cultivation world, and their hands cannot reach that far. Song Changsheng will be in awe of their strength, but he will never bow down to them.

The Purple Mansion Late Elder obviously didn't expect Song Changsheng to have the courage to question him. He was stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he took a step forward and chuckled, "Of course not. Those words just now were just the junior's rude remarks. Daoist Zixu don't have to take it to heart."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Lan's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out: "Elder Chen?"

"How dare you! This elder is talking to Fellow Daoist Zixu, so you have no right to interrupt." Chen Tianxing glanced at him, his eyes full of warning.

The expression on Feng Lan's face suddenly became extremely distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Junior knows his mistake."

Seeing this scene, Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help feeling a little confused. He originally thought that this team was led by Feng Lan, and the opponent's previous performance was also consistent with this point. Why is this guy named Chen now training him like his grandson?
If this team was led by this cultivator named Chen, then why did he allow Feng Lan to provoke him in the first place?
Song Changsheng's gaze moved between the two of them, his mind turned slightly, and he gradually understood what was going on.

It was obvious that Feng Lan's arrogance at the beginning was not pretended. He really thought that he was the leader of this team, so his words were very arrogant.

But in fact, the leader of this team was the cultivator named Chen, and Feng Lan was just a big fool who was pushed out by him to test the reaction of the Song family.

If the Song family behaves cowardly in the face of Feng Lan's provocation, then they will surely be manipulated by the Tianxiao Sect in this matter.

If the Song family acted tough, he could stand up and casually use the excuse that the younger generation was ignorant to brush off the previous provocation.

Although this reason is not convincing at all, what does it matter? The status relationship between the Song family and the Tianxiao Sect is inherently unequal.

The reason he gave was a way out. As long as the Song family was not stupid, they would not be entangled in this issue.

Song Changsheng quickly figured this out, and he couldn't help but look at Feng Lan with a bit of pity. He originally thought that the person who came was an individual, but it turned out to be a complete clown.

Feeling his gaze, Feng Lan subconsciously clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms without him realizing it. He knew at this moment that he was being fooled.

But even if he knew, he could do nothing. Ever since he turned into this neither male nor female ghost, he was almost a joke in the sect, especially after he lost to Zhang Sheng in the election ceremony for the young sect leader.

The ordinary disciples below might be afraid of his identity as the direct disciple of Master Zhaoming and dare not show it so obviously. However, the elders in the sect would not do that, and especially the powerful elders like Chen Tianxing would certainly not do that.

He originally thought that after Zhang Sheng disappeared, he would be able to regain his original status and respect, but now it seems that it was just wishful thinking.

"In that case, don't blame me." Feng Lan lowered his head, with endless coldness in his eyes.

Chen Tianxing didn't even look at Feng Lan. In his eyes, Feng Lan was a complete loser. He had indeed placed a bet on him in the beginning, but now it seemed like a very stupid decision and he was planning to give up.

"Fellow Daoist Zixu, we are here today just to understand the situation at the time, and we have no other intentions. Of course, it would be even better if you could cooperate with us in finding the whereabouts of the young sect master."

Chen Tianxing spoke very politely, as if the previous aggressiveness was just an illusion.

Song Changsheng smiled sincerely and said, "You are too polite, my friend. The young master is a friend of the Song family, so it is my duty to help you find him.

To be honest, after receiving the news from your sect, Song immediately mobilized all his forces to search for the whereabouts of Young Sect Master Zhang.

God will not let down those who work hard. Not long ago, I received a piece of news that someone had seen traces of Master Zhang and his entourage in Xiangzhou. Fellow Taoists can look for them in that area.

I have sent someone to pass on this news to your family. I believe that Fellow Daoist Chen will receive the news soon."

"There is such a thing." Chen Tianxing's eyes showed a hint of astonishment, but he did not believe Song Changsheng easily. He showed an ambiguous smile and said, "We are entrusted with the mission of the sect, and we must find the young sect master. We must find him alive or dead.

Please, fellow Taoist, please be kind and let me wait..."

"Friend Chen, are you planning to search Cangmang Peak?" Song Changsheng emphasized the last two words "search". Although he had a smile on his face, it made people feel a little cold for some reason.

If the Tianxiao Sect really wants to do this, then we might end up falling out today.

“Fellow Daoist Zixu has misunderstood. Our Tianxiao Sect would naturally not do such a rude thing.

I just want you to send someone to help us search. After all, Lingzhou and Yangzhou are territories controlled by the Song family, and it is not convenient for outsiders like us to take action." Chen Tianxing said with a smile, as if he really didn't mean it before.

"This is a trivial matter. Our clan has been looking for the whereabouts of Young Sect Master Zhang. Song will let the general affairs elder of our clan hand over to Fellow Daoist Chen.

Daoyou, you have a mission to complete, so I will not invite Daoyou Chen to the mountain. If you need anything in Lingzhou and Yangzhou, as long as the Song family can do it, Daoyou can ask for it, and the Song family will do its best. "

Song Changsheng directly issued an order to expel the guest. Of course, his words were still very tactful so that no one could find any fault with him.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Zixu. Yusheng, you stay here and take over from the people from the Song family. We will go to Xiangzhou first to look for the whereabouts of the young sect master, and you can follow on your own." Chen Tianxing said calmly to the cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the foundation-building stage and was standing behind him.

"As the elder ordered."

Chen Tianxing raised his eyes to look at Song Changsheng, and said with a cupped hand: "Daoyou Zixu, we will take our leave first."

After that, the group flew away, leaving only the foundation-building great perfection cultivator named Yu Sheng. He was not afraid to face the Song family alone. He bowed to Song Changsheng and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Excuse me, Master Zixu, which elder is the one who will be handing over to me?"

"Qingshi, go and meet this fellow Taoist from Tianxiao Sect."

After giving Song Qingshi a casual instruction, Song Changsheng led Song Luzhou and others back to the main hall of the family. Before they sat down, Song Luzhou and others started discussing.

Song Changsheng sat there and listened to their discussion for a long time but couldn't understand what was going on. He tapped the armrest of the chair with his knuckles and said, "Silence."

When the hall was quiet, Song Changsheng looked at Song Luzhou and said, "Uncle Wu, what do you think is the purpose of these people from Tianxiao Sect coming here?"

Song Luzhou frowned slightly, and hesitated for several times, but finally shook his head and said: "This group of people looks like they are here to call for punishment, but judging from the performance of the Purple Mansion cultivator named Chen, it doesn't seem like that.

The only information that can be seen is that there is discord within the Tianxiao Sect, especially that androgynous person."

"His name is Feng Lan." Song Changsheng added for him considerately.

"Oh, that Feng Lan. Although he claimed that he came here to look for Young Master Zhang, his words and deeds all seemed to be trying to put the blame on us. I feel that there should be..." Upon hearing this, Song Changsheng considerately handed over the booklet that Song Qingshi had given him, which recorded the "love, hate and vengeance" between Feng Lan and Zhang Sheng.

After reading it, Song Luzhou couldn't help but blew his beard and glared, "Why didn't you take it out earlier? Let me speculate here for nothing."

"I just got it too. These people came too fast, and I didn't have time to show it to you. Please analyze it for you again." Song Changsheng smiled apologetically. It would be better to leave this kind of brain-intensive work to others.

"According to the intelligence, Feng Lan was the first disciple accepted by Master Zhaoming after he broke through the Jindan stage. He was very talented and broke through the foundation-building stage before he was 20 years old. He later made great contributions to the Tianxiao Sect.

True Man Zhaoming also dotes on him and has expressed his wish to make Feng Lan the young master of Tianxiao Sect more than once. He is truly a child of destiny.

But later for some unknown reason, Feng Lan's practice went awry, resulting in a reversal of yin and yang. Not only did he become neither male nor female, but even his breakthrough to the Purple Mansion seemed to be affected.

Later, Master Zhaoming accepted another disciple, Zhang Sheng.

The conflict between the two began from that time.

Originally, Zhang Sheng was completely crushed by Feng Lan, but he didn’t expect that when Tianxiao Sect selected the young master last year, Feng Lan was defeated by Zhang Sheng…”

"Fifth brother, I know a little about this matter. To be honest, we also contributed to this." Song Luyun suddenly interrupted Song Luzhou.

After these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but look at Song Luyun, wondering what she meant.

"Aunt, please speak." Song Changsheng raised his hand to signal Song Luyun to speak.

"Daoyou Zhang Sheng came to the Da Qi cultivation world because he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation. In Luoxia City, he accidentally drank the [Bamboo Leaf Green] brewed by my sister-in-law and broke through.

It seemed that the spiritual wine was very suitable for his cultivation. He later bought some spiritual wine from time to time. It was said that with the help of the spiritual wine, he broke through from the middle stage of foundation building to the great perfection of foundation building in just a few years.

It was also because of this that he was able to defeat Feng Lan.

Do you think Feng Lan's unusual behavior today is because we sold spirit wine to Zhang Sheng?" Song Luyun made a bold guess.

"Although the reason is a bit far-fetched... but it is not impossible. Feng Lan is narrow-minded and has an extremely extreme personality. No matter what he does, it is not surprising."

At this point, Song Changsheng suddenly paused and said, "Zhang Sheng is missing, Feng Lan is a vested interest, do you think... could there be any trace of him involved?"

"It is very possible. The factional struggle within Tianxiao Sect is very serious. Among the two direct disciples of Master Zhaoming, one must support Zhang Sheng and the other must support Feng Lan. And Feng Lan's support may be higher.

Whether in terms of qualifications or the original accumulation in Tianxiao Sect, he is far stronger than Zhang Sheng. If the accident had not happened during his training, Zhang Sheng would not have been qualified to compete with him at all.

Now Zhang Sheng is just missing, but if he dies, the only candidate for the young master will be Feng Lan. He has a motive for doing this.

Moreover, the whereabouts of Zhang Sheng and others are not known to us, and Tianxiaomen is also aware of it. "

Song Luzhou's speculation was unanimously supported by everyone present.

“So, this is most likely an internal struggle within the Tianxiao Clan.

We can all see the problem. Tianxiao Sect has countless capable people, so there is no reason why they can't see it. So the reason they came here today should be to test it.

But it's not to test us, it's probably to test Feng Lan."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces showed a look of relaxation. If this was the case, then they wouldn't have to worry about the Tianxiao Sect continuing to cause trouble for them.

"Okay, don't be happy too soon. After all, these are just our guesses. We still have to continue looking for the person we should look for. No matter what, don't let his body appear within the family's territory. Do you understand?" Song Changsheng said seriously.

"Understood!" Everyone responded loudly.

……

Three days passed peacefully like this.

On this day, Song Qingshi looked solemn and hurriedly walked into the main hall.

"Chief, something happened."

"What's wrong?" The person Song Changsheng least wanted to see now was Song Qingshi. He hadn't brought him any good news in these days.

"Young Master Zhang has been found."

"Alive or dead?" Although he asked this, Song Changsheng already had a bad feeling in his heart.

"died."

"Where did he die?" Song Changsheng suddenly became a little nervous. It would be troublesome if he died in the area controlled by the Song family.

"Xuzhou."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but soon frowned again and said, "Xuzhou? Why is it Xuzhou?"

"Not only was it discovered in Xuzhou, but someone also saw with their own eyes that it was someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect who killed Zhang Sheng."

Song Changsheng stood up suddenly, his mind a little confused.

Zhang Sheng’s death in Xuzhou was already confusing enough for him, and now Song Qingshi actually said that he died at the hands of the Tianjian Sect and was caught red-handed.

If this news had not been brought by Song Qingshi, he would never have believed it. It was really too unbelievable.

By killing the young master of a Jindan sect, does the Tianjian sect intend to fight to the death with the Tianxiao sect?

"The sky in the southeast is about to change..."
