Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

In the Song family's meeting hall, a group of Song family's senior executives gathered together, listening to Song Qingshi's report on the latest news obtained by Fengyu Hall. Everyone's face was solemn.

Just now, Fengyu Hall has already investigated clearly that the person who killed Zhang Sheng was Jianxu, the young master of Tianjian Sect. It is said that Jianxu was provoked by Zhang Sheng when he was on business outside. Zhang Sheng used disrespectful words and insulted his master.

Jianxu couldn't bear it any longer and killed him directly.

When hearing this part, Song Changsheng couldn't help but twitch his face. He and Jian Xu had once crossed paths in the Blood Ruins Realm. Jian Xu was a ruthless man.

Although he usually keeps a low profile, when they were fighting for the key to open the Blood Ruins Realm, even the late Purple Mansion cultivator sent by Baicaotang was unable to defeat him, which shows how powerful he is.

Jian Xiu was originally arrogant by nature, so it would have been fine if Zhang Sheng had provoked him in person, but he even dared to insult Jian Xu's master.

Who is Jian Xu's master? The strongest person in Tianjian Sect, the current leader of Tianjian Sect, Jian Wuming!

Mu Guibai was originally the number one person below the Jindan stage in the Da Qi cultivation world. After Mu Guibai broke through the Jindan stage, this title fell on Jian Wuming.

He is both the sect leader and the master. To be frank, even Jianxu's father may not have a higher status in his heart than Jian Wuming.

Zhang Sheng played like this, he would be lucky if Jianxu didn't cut him into pieces and feed him to the dogs.

Song Changsheng was not surprised at all that Jianxu dared to kill Zhang Sheng. There was nothing that those sword maniacs from the Tianjian Sect could not do.

There were only two points on which he was confused.

First, why did Zhang Sheng provoke and insult Jianxu?

He had also met Zhang Sheng once, and he had a good impression of him. He did not look like an ignorant young man, and was respectful and polite when facing him, and he knew when to act.

His "suicidal" behavior seems very strange.

Secondly, how could it be such a coincidence that someone saw me?

Although Jianxu is the young sect leader, he is no rookie but an old hand. It is impossible for him not to know the consequences of killing Zhang Sheng, the young sect leader of the Jindan sect.

Therefore, even if he wanted to take action, he would not do it in public. He would definitely sneak around and find a deserted place to kill the person and then destroy the body.

But he did the job so roughly that he was caught by someone. That would have been fine, but he didn't even kill anyone to silence them.

Song Changsheng really couldn't understand it, it was really too unbelievable.

But then again, this matter seemed so confusing from the very beginning.

First, Zhang Sheng disappeared inexplicably, then the Tianxiao Sect came to test the clan inexplicably, and finally the Tianjian Sect became the murderer. It was a complete mess, with no rhyme or reason at all, and the intention was even more unclear.

It's like... this is all just a coincidence.

But, could this really be just a coincidence?
Song Changsheng didn't believe it, and he believed that most of the people present wouldn't believe it either.

But whether they believe it or not will not change anything. The fact that Jianxu killed Zhang Sheng is an ironclad fact, and even Jianxu himself admitted it.

Therefore, the conflict between Tianxiao Sect and Tianjian Sect is inevitable.

The Tianxiao Sect demands that the Tianjian Sect hand over the murderer, otherwise they will go to war.

But Jian Xu is not only the young master of Tianjian Sect, but also the most talented person of the contemporary era. Jian Wuming is already very old. If he cannot break through the Jindan stage, then Jian Xu will be the future hope of Tianjian Sect.

Under such circumstances, it would be wishful thinking to expect those arrogant and paranoid sword lunatics to hand over Jianxu just like that.

A swordsman would rather break than bend!
Not to mention that Jianxu did nothing wrong. Even if he really did something wrong, the Tianjian Sect would only punish him behind closed doors and would never hand him over to outsiders.

But how could the Tianxiao Sect let this go?

Even though the power of the Tianxiao Sect is not as strong as before, it is still not someone that can be easily provoked by the Tianjian Sect.

Zhang Sheng is the face of the entire Tianxiao Sect. No matter what, Jianxu must die.

Therefore, there must be a battle between the Tianjian Sect and the Tianxiao Sect.

One is a Jindan sect, the other is a Zifu sect. There is no comparison between the two. If a fight really breaks out, the Tianjian sect will absolutely not be able to fight back, and the outcome will be one-sided.

However, the Tianjian Sect has the support of the Tianmai Sect. If the Tianmai Sect can be allowed to mediate, the Tianjian Sect may be able to hold on a little longer. Of course, only a little longer.

After all, it is impossible for the Tianmai Sect to go to war with the Tianxiao Sect for the Tianjian Sect. If that were the case, everyone in the Jinwu Sect would be laughing their heads off.

"Cough cough."

Song Qingdian cleared his throat, attracted everyone’s attention and said, “Patriarch, uncles and elders, I think that the war between Tianxiao Sect and Tianmai Sect is a great opportunity for the family to take advantage of it.

Previously, the Tianjian Sect had been constantly pressuring the family to seize control of Xiangzhou. However, the family’s strength was limited, so they had no choice but to give up the fight and only retained the Qingyuan Mountains.

But now, facing the pressure from Tianxiaomen, Tianjian Sect will definitely reduce its manpower, and Xiangzhou will once again become an ownerless land, and the family can take the opportunity to annex it.

Even if we can't completely control it in the end, we can still plunder some resources to strengthen the family's foundation."

After these words were spoken, many people showed an interested look on their faces.

Xiangzhou is rich in various mineral veins, among which spirit stone veins are the most numerous. The Tianjian Sect’s previous fight with the Song family for control of Xiangzhou was mainly for Xiangzhou’s mineral resources.

Now that the Tianjian Sect has reduced its defenses and can no longer take care of Xiangzhou, the Song family has every opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to invade.

But soon, Song Qingdian's remarks were refuted by Song Changan.

"What the family needs most right now is a stable environment and space for development, rather than creating strong enemies. The Tianjian Sect has a thousand years of heritage and is responsible for guarding the southeast gate for the Tianmai Sect. The Tianmai Sect will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Tianjian Sect perish. It's just a matter of the size of the loss.

The family's intervention in Xiangzhou at this time is a disguised war with the Tianjian Sect. The Tianjian Sect may choose to let it go in the short term due to the pressure from the Tianxiao Sect, but once they have recovered from this, do you think they will reveal this matter?"

Song Changan looked at Song Qingdian with disappointment.

"So what? After all these years of development, our family is no longer what it used to be. Even if the Tianjian Sect doesn't collapse this time, its strength will surely be greatly damaged. We may not be afraid of them if they come to us." Song Qingdian said disdainfully.

Hearing his "arrogant" remarks, Song Changsheng frowned immediately.

Just as he was about to speak, Song Luzhou stood up and rebuked him, "You are so arrogant and short-sighted. Why don't you leave immediately!"

Song Qingdian was stunned. He looked up and saw Song Changsheng's ugly face. He finally realized that he had said the wrong thing. He didn't dare to say anything more. He hurriedly clasped his hands and sat back.

Song Luzhou looked around at everyone present and said, "Develop peacefully and don't make external enemies.

This is the first principle of the family at present. Don't say similar things in the future. Besides, the family doesn't have the spare energy to attack Xiangzhou now. " "Yes!"

Everyone agreed with a roar.

"Everyone, what we should consider now is whether this war will lead to the outbreak of the conflicts accumulated between Da Qi and Dayu, causing the scope of this war to expand, and then affect the family." Song Changsheng said with a serious face.

The conflict between the Da Qi and Dayu cultivation worlds has been accumulating for a long time. Previously, the Tianxiao Sect had been mediating between them, and both sides had remained rational and restrained.

But now that the most rational one has erupted, all the accumulated conflicts between the Da Qi and Dayu cultivation worlds may be released at this opportunity.

If that were the case, things would become serious and would directly evolve from a local conflict into a large-scale conflict between the two cultivation worlds.

At that time, the Song family naturally could not stay out of it.

Once the smoke of war breaks out, the Song family’s current peaceful development environment will vanish, which is extremely fatal.

"It shouldn't be that serious." Everyone looked at each other, looking a little panicked.

If a fight breaks out, it will be a big deal.

"Everything is possible, so I think the family needs to further reduce its strength, especially in Xiangzhou, so as not to send the wrong signal to the Tianjian Sect."

Song Changsheng did this because he was afraid of provoking the Tianjian Sect. If the Tianjian Sect thought that the Song family was taking advantage of the situation and gave the Song family a severe blow, it would not be worth it.

"Yes, sir!" everyone responded in unison.

……

The clouds of war gathered in the sky, and the atmosphere in the entire Da Qi cultivation world was unusually solemn, revealing a sense of impending storm.

After the meeting, Song Changsheng took the space teleportation array to Luoxia City. He planned to find Mu Guibai to inquire about the latest news. The most important thing was to see the opinions of the Jinwu Sect and the Tianmai Sect to see if they wanted to compete with the Dayu cultivation world.

But when he arrived at Tianyin Mountain, he only saw Shen Qingxiu. Through her, Song Changsheng learned that Mu Guibai had gone to Qingzhou to meet with the Jindan Zhenren of Jinwu Sect and Tianmai Sect, probably to unify opinions on the matters between Tianjian Sect and Tianxiao Sect.

According to what Shen Qingxiu revealed, Luoxia City and Jinwu Sect most likely do not want to fight this battle, but the attitude of Tianmai Sect is somewhat uncertain.

Because of the bordering territories, the conflict between Tianmai Sect and Dayu's cultivation world is the biggest. Now Tianxiao Sect wants to move against Tianmai Sect's "henchmen". New and old grudges are not so easy to suppress.

"I hope I can persuade him." Song Changsheng sighed quietly. This incident was really like a fire in the city gate that affected all the fish in the pond.

"Don't think too much. If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Even if we really have to fight, the Tianmai Sect will charge ahead." Shen Qingxiu comforted with a smile.

Song Changsheng nodded slightly. At this point, he could only leave it to fate...

Xuzhou, Wanjian Mountain.

The entire Tianjian Sect has now entered a state of combat readiness. All forces in the sect have been withdrawn and the smell of gunpowder has begun to spread.

"At present, Tianxiaomen has more than a thousand people stationed in Tianniu Mountain, and they may cross the border at any time. What do you think?"

Inside the meeting hall, Tianjian Sect's Grand Elder Zhao Jiu Ming pointed to a small red dot on the map at the border between the Da Qi and Dayu cultivation worlds and said in a deep voice.

Jianxu said with a heavy face: "Uncle Master, this matter was caused by me. I am willing to bear all the responsibility. I will fight alone until I die, and I will never bring down the reputation of our Tianjian Sect!"

"Bullshit, you didn't do anything wrong, why do you want to send them to die?

That bastard, well done, he deserved to be killed!

If the Tianxiao Sect wants to fight, then let them fight. The worst that can happen is death." An old man with a long beard and white hair roared with full force.

"What the great-grandmaster said is right. You didn't do anything wrong. It's the Tianxiao Sect that's going too far!" An elder echoed.

Everyone else also started chattering and denouncing the Tianxiao Sect, but Zhao Jiuming just sat there and didn't respond.

After a long time, he raised his head and said calmly: "Silence."

His voice was not loud, but the originally noisy hall soon became quiet, and everyone looked at him.

Zhao Jiuming first looked at Jianxu and said, "Although this matter was caused by you, there are reasons for it. You will not be punished. Don't say those words again in the future."

Jianxu still wanted to fight for it, but after meeting Zhao Jiuming's eyes, he finally swallowed his words back and nodded silently.

Seeing him sitting back in his original position, Zhao Jiuming looked at the bearded old man who had spoken harshly earlier and said, "Fifth Uncle, how long will it take for the Sect Master to take that step?"

Upon hearing this, the old man with a long beard showed a hint of helplessness on his withered face and said, "It's very difficult. With only the Black Gold Formation and no spiritual treasure to help, the success rate of overcoming the tribulation is really too low."

Zhao Jiuming nodded, without saying anything more, and turned to another person sitting there and asked, "Have you contacted the Tianmai Sect? What did they say?"

"The Tianmai Sect has been contacted, but they haven't made a clear statement. However, according to the information obtained by the spies, the Jindan cultivators of the three sects have already met, probably to reach a consensus. The specific results will have to wait until they finish their discussion to know."

"Haha, that's also expected." Zhao Jiuming's eyes flashed with cold light. Anyway, he hadn't intended to count on the Tianmai Sect from the beginning.

"By the way, what's the reaction from the Song family?"

The monk who reported the news earlier was stunned, but he quickly reacted and shook his head and said, "They are very well behaved. They even transferred a group of people from Xiangzhou recently. They probably have no intention of taking action."

Zhao Jiuming's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "His choice was somewhat beyond my expectations, but it did save us a lot of trouble."

"Jianming, go negotiate with the people from Tianxiao Sect and tell them that I want to meet with them and have a good chat."

"Great Elder, what is there to talk about with this group of people? No matter what you say, these people will not believe it.

If you ask me, we might as well contact them directly and unite their forces to put an end to the arrogance of the Tianxiao Sect!" Jianming said indignantly.

Zhao Jiuming did not comment, but just repeated: "Contact Tianxiaomen."

"As you command." Jian Ming, who was full of anger, obeyed the order and left...

On the other hand, Tianxiao Sect, which received the meeting request from Tianjian Sect, was in an uproar, and all the elders clamored to make sure Zhao Jiuming would never return.

Some even said they would take this opportunity to directly attack Xuzhou.

Zhao Ming Zhenren, who looked several dozen years older, stood up slowly, looked at the crowd and said indifferently: "Just do as they say. I want to see what else they have to say."
