Inside the nameless cave, several major forces are clearly divided. Except for the Song family and Luoxia City, the Tianmai Sect and the Tianjian Sect each occupy an area and set up barriers to isolate the sound while preventing others from spying.

With the barrier as a barrier, the people of Tianjian Sect could no longer hold back. The newly promoted elder Jian Hong said indignantly: "This place is located on the border of Xuzhou and Yunzhou. It was discovered by our disciples. Our sect also had a share of credit in breaking the formation. If you think about it in detail, our sect should have taken the lion's share, but in the end, we made wedding clothes for others."

It's no wonder that he was so indignant. The main sphere of influence of the Tianjian Sect was nominally in Xuzhou, but in fact Yunzhou had always been under the protection of the Tianjian Sect. For hundreds of years, the major foundation-building forces in Yunzhou had followed the lead of the Tianjian Sect and paid tribute every year.

There are a large number of disciples from Yunzhou in the Tianjian Sect.

All major forces in the Da Qi cultivation world also tacitly acknowledged that Yunzhou was the territory under the jurisdiction of the Tianjian Sect, but it was not made public, just like Yangzhou to the Song family.

Everyone knows that Yangzhou is the territory of the Song family, but nominally speaking, the Song family's base is only Lingzhou. Yangzhou belongs to the Lieyang Sect, and after the demise of the Lieyang Sect, it was owned by the seven major families.

As long as one more Purple Mansion cultivator is born among the seven major families, they can legitimately bring Yangzhou under their rule.

Of course, the prerequisite is to be able to withstand the wrath of the Song family.

This nameless cave is located between Yunzhou and Xuzhou. In terms of sovereignty, it naturally belongs to the Tianjian Sect, just like the mineral veins in Xuzhou belong to the Tianjian Sect.

After all, Old Ghost Bai was involved in breaking the formation, so it would have been fine if he just had a little say in it, but as a result, the Song family and Luoxia City, two forces thousands of miles away, also interfered. The Tianjian Sect became the least competitive one, which is really infuriating.

Especially the Song family, who injured the great elder Jian Ming and the sect leader Jian Xu successively, which was simply a humiliation for the Tianjian Sect. What he could not accept the most was that Jianxu wanted to punish the disciples who violated the sect rules in front of all the Song family members. This was the first time in a thousand years!
Hearing his words, Jian Wuyou and Qi Xuan, who were treating Jian Ming's injuries, looked a little unhappy, but they did not express their opinions.

Seeing that no one agreed with him, Jian Hong said sternly: "The top leaders of the Song family and the elite disciples of the clan have all gathered here. This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

We might as well secretly notify Elders Chen and Lu to come over and join us, and then surround and kill them all.

In this way, not only can we avenge our previous shame, but we can also clear the way for the sect to enter Xiangzhou and even other southern states in the future. It’s the best of both worlds!"

His idea is quite bold.

The clan leader, the supreme elder, the chief guest elder and the guardian beast represent the Song family's strongest fighting power. Song Qingxing, Song Qingxi, Song Youlin and Song Youfu are the most promising talented cultivators in the Song family since Song Changsheng.

Not to mention leaving all of them behind, even if only half of them were left, it would be enough to cause serious damage to the Song family, and shake their foundation, and they would not be able to pose a threat to the Tianjian Sect within a hundred years.

For a moment, Jian Wuyou and Qi Xuan looked at each other and were immediately moved by this proposal.

Including the two elders who stayed behind in Wanjian Mountain, Tianjian Sect has a total of seven Purple Mansion cultivators. Among them, Jian Wuyou has reached the great perfection of Purple Mansion, Jian Xu and Jian Ming are both in the late Purple Mansion stage, and although there is only one in the middle Purple Mansion stage among the remaining four, they have an overwhelming advantage over the Song family in terms of both quality and quantity.

It seems... it's very feasible...

At this moment, Jian Xu, who had been meditating to heal his wounds, opened his eyes. Although he was practicing Qigong, he heard every word of everyone's conversation. He sighed and said, "You should give up this unrealistic idea. If the Song family was really that easy to deal with, they would have been destroyed by the Lieyang Sect long ago.

Since they dare to come, wouldn't they have made preparations in advance? You underestimate the Song family and Song Changsheng too much. "

A person's thoughts and ideas will naturally be different depending on his or her position.

Jian Hong's proposal seemed tempting, but in Jian Xu's opinion, the chances of success were extremely low.

If it succeeds, it will be fine. However, if there is no result, the Tianjian Sect, which has not yet recovered from the last war, will be plunged into another quagmire of war. This is something he does not want to see, so he made so many concessions in front of Song Changsheng.

Hearing this, Jian Hong was quite unconvinced and said, "Master, why do you have to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige? The Song family is just a small clan. A few decades ago, they were not even worthy of carrying shoes for our clan. Even though they have risen by chance in recent years, they are still far behind in terms of foundation. What can they rely on?"

Jianxu glared at him, angrily saying, "You said it yourself, a few decades ago, the Song family was just a small foundation-building clan, but now they have the qualifications to compete with our sect. Their growth is so rapid, don't you think this can be achieved by just 'luck'?"

"That's why we should strangle the Song family in the cradle." Jian Hong said with his neck stiff.

"Naive, you only see the apparent strength comparison between the two sides. What if the Song family joins forces with the Tianmai Sect and Luoxia City?"

Jian Hong was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Luoxia City may help, but Tianmai Sect may not, right?"

Jianxu sneered and said, "The people of Tianmai Sect have long been dissatisfied with our sect, but they still need someone to guard the southeast, and they couldn't find a replacement for the time being, so they didn't take action.

If we attack the Song family, Old Ghost Bai will definitely not let us get what we want. He will do the Song family a favor without Song Changsheng asking."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces suddenly became gloomy. They knew that what Jianxu said was not groundless speculation, but something that was very likely to happen.

Jian Hong, who had been shouting the loudest before, stopped talking at this moment. He found a place to sit down with a stern face.

Jian Wuyou couldn't help but sigh. Decades ago, the Tianjian Sect and the Tianmai Sect had stood firmly together, but now they were on opposite sides.

If the relationship between the two sides remains the same, then the Tianmai Sect can help them block Luoxia City, while they concentrate their forces on besieging the Song family, and the success rate is still quite high.

It’s a pity that there are no ifs in this world. As the Tianjian Sect grows stronger, it is inevitable that it will become an opponent of the Tianmai Sect, just like the Jinwu Sect and Luoxia City in the past.

Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Jian Xu couldn't help but secretly shook his head. In fact, there was something he hadn't said yet. Even if the Tianmai Sect stayed out of it, as long as Luoxia City was there, they would not be able to succeed.

In recent years, Shen Qingxiu has not been well-known. Many people don’t know much about her and have forgotten how she got the name Jade-faced Rakshasa.

However, he knew clearly that the opponent had killed him with swords and sabers, and his strength could not be judged by common sense. Among all the Purple Mansion cultivators in the Tianjian Sect, only Jian Wuyou could withstand it by taking action personally.

But without Jian Wuyou, who can stop Song Changsheng?
While they were arguing, Song Changsheng was also trying to determine the details of this cave and the secret realm through the information sent back by Song Qingxi and others.

According to their current exploration, there are a large number of abandoned buildings in that secret realm. Their architectural style is quite retro, very similar to the style of the Da Qi Immortal Dynasty, and is full of the breath of civilization everywhere.

According to Song Qingxi's judgment, this does not seem to be a secret realm used to train disciples. After all, there are no ferocious beasts or demonic beasts in it, the environment is not dangerous, and there are still a lot of traces of human life.

This information made Song Changsheng and others realize that their previous guesses might have been slightly off. Shen Qingxiu also received a lot of feedback from her disciples. She used the [Resonance Compass] to communicate with Luoxia City for a while, and finally said to everyone:
“I ordered people to look up ancient books, but did not find any records related to this place. It was completely blank. And with the strength of the owner of this cave, it is impossible for him to be so unknown.

Considering what Siyu and the others had discovered, I think this is most likely a hidden sect's dojo. The main members of this sect live in that secret realm, the cave is often hidden, and the people inside hardly ever move around in the outside world, so no records were left behind.

Later, they may have encountered some natural disaster, which caused the secret realm to collapse and everyone died suddenly, so this place was completely closed.

Because this place is desolate and has few resources, few people have set foot here, so it has never been discovered. Until this time, a few young people stepped into the formation by chance and were able to reappear in the world. "

"The Taoist temple of a hidden sect?" Song Changsheng and others looked at each other in surprise.

As we all know, the Zi Yu Realm is surrounded by a large number of small worlds, which are connected to the Zi Yu Realm by space corridors.

Most of these numerous small worlds are extremely desolate, with incomplete laws, and some are even full of crises. However, it is not ruled out that some have sound laws and rich resources, just like the vast small world that the Song family is currently developing.

There are constant disputes in the world of cultivation. Some powerful people who are tired of fighting will specifically seek out this kind of small world to live in. Over time, civilization will emerge in it.

However, these are only a minority. Most people escape to these small worlds when they have no other choice, perhaps to avoid enemies or for some other reasons. In short, they must hide in them and cannot easily show up in the outside world.

These forces are a general term for the hidden sects.

Song Changsheng had the idea of ​​turning this vast little world into a retreat route for the Song family in the future.

If it really comes to that, the Song family can be classified as a "hidden family". They will only reopen the seal and return to the Ziyu Realm when the family's strength increases or their enemies are destroyed.

Among this kind of forces, some are poor and destitute, while others are extremely wealthy. I just don't know whether the one here belongs to the former or the latter.

This was the first time Song Changsheng came into contact with this kind of force and he was very much looking forward to it. It was a pity that the entrance was restricted and he could not enter in person, which was somewhat regrettable.

Just as everyone was speculating, those who entered the secret realm made a major discovery...

On a barren and desolate plain stood a majestic city that was no less large than Luoxia City. Although the mottled bronze walls were severely damaged, everyone could clearly feel the antiquity and vicissitudes of life.

Song Youfu stood on the ruins of the bronze city wall, looking into the city from afar, and said in surprise: "Oh my god, am I seeing right? There is actually a city here."

Song Youlin, who had already reunited with them, seemed relatively calm. After all, he had been in there for several days and had a rough idea of ​​the situation inside.

A few days ago, Song Youlin and several disciples of the Tianjian Sect entered the valley where the cave was located and triggered a formation. Seeing that there was no escape, he could only grit his teeth and fight with those people, killing one and injuring one.

But two fists are no match for four hands after all, and he was injured in the siege. He could only enter the cave and fight with them, but he only lasted for one day before he was forced into a dead end.

It was at this moment that he inadvertently activated the portal to the secret realm. Although the situation inside was unclear, he had no choice but to enter as he had no other choice.

Those disciples of Tianjian Sect did not have the courage to do so and chose to stay outside and wait for the opportunity.

In this way, Song Youlin successfully got rid of these people.

Although he was stranded in an unknown area, Song Youlin did not panic. With the mentality of making the best of it, he began to explore this world.

Then he discovered that although this world was very dilapidated, there were still living creatures, and occasionally he could see a few small wild beasts.

Apart from that, what attracted him most were the ruins of the buildings.

These buildings were distributed in groups, some large and some small. They gave him the feeling of towns in the mortal world, except that they had been destroyed. There was not a single living person, and at the beginning, not even a corpse was seen. It should be because they were all rotten due to age.

After several days of exploration, the gains were minimal.

Being in such a lonely world, it is inevitable that people will feel lost.

Fortunately, someone contacted him a few days later, claiming to be the family's secret guard.

Only after he reunited with the Qin brothers did he learn what had happened in the outside world. He also learned that the Tianjian Sect had sent more people to look for him.

As a last resort, they had to go deeper to avoid being hunted down.

The area of ​​this world is not small, and the dozens of people from the Tianmai Sect and the Tianjian Sect are inconspicuous when they come here. Even the shadows of Song Youlin and others are not seen.

In this way, he waited for Song Lutong, Song Qingxi and others.

Shortly after they met up, Song Changxuan, who was in charge of exploring the west, sent them news, claiming that he had discovered a city.

So at Song Qingxi's command, all the Song family cultivators moved towards where Song Changxuan was. Nearly twenty foundation-building cultivators were already a formidable force in the Da Qi cultivation world, but they seemed so insignificant in front of this majestic city.

Just as everyone was preparing to enter the city to explore, Song Youfu suddenly bent down and started digging through the ruins at his feet.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, he pulled out half of a broken plaque.

The words "Royal City" can be vaguely discerned...
