Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

The reason why puppets are not taken seriously by all walks of life is that they are dead objects without independent consciousness, and the scope of use of such puppets is very narrow.

Later, someone came up with a solution to this problem, but the person who came up with it was an evil monk.

He combined puppets with corpse demons and used living creatures to refine puppets. The puppets refined in this way would retain their spirits while retaining some of their memories and instincts from their previous lives. Some could even retain their previous cultivation, allowing them to perform a certain degree of autonomous actions without having to rely on their masters for delicate operations.

This refining method is extremely cruel, and will prevent the soul of the deceased from reincarnating forever. Not long after it appeared, it was attacked from all sides by the righteous forces.

Nowadays, there are very few puppeteers who know how to make living puppets. Even those who have inherited the technique only dare to make them in private and dare not show them to others easily.

What Song Qinghong and the others saw in front of them were undoubtedly living puppets. Although their autonomy was not high, they still retained some of their memories and combat instincts from their previous lives.

In other words, these puppets were all made from living beings. More than 20,000 of them, what a terrifying number, almost equivalent to the number of disciples in a Jindan sect.

The person who made this decision can only be described as "absurd".

"We are not studying puppets, so there is no need for us to understand these things. I just want to know how we should deal with them now!" Song Qingqian looked at Song Qinghong with dissatisfaction.

In terms of strength, most of these puppets are only at the level of Qi Refining cultivators, and only a very small number are comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, their overall number is too large, and everyone is wearing armor, forming a tight battle formation. Wherever they stand, it is like a solid wall of iron and steel. Even if they are exhausted, they can be worn out to death in this underground world and buried with King Qi.

Song Qinghong was silent for a moment and said, "No matter what kind of puppet it is, it needs energy to drive it, and most of them use spirit stones.

But after so many years, the spiritual power of the spirit stones in their bodies should have been exhausted, so we did not alarm them when we first approached.

The reason why they were awakened was because of the existence of the seal in the air, which provided energy to these puppets.

If we can destroy that seal, we should be able to get rid of them."

After these words were spoken, all the Song family cultivators present fell into silence.

Although it has not been confirmed, based on the current performance, the seal in the air is most likely the legendary [Imperial Seal].

Not to mention whether they can destroy such a treasure with their power, even if they manage to destroy it by chance, will Luoxia City and the Tianmai Sect and Tianjian Sect appreciate their kindness after knowing the truth?
I'm afraid not, it may even bring disaster to the Song family.

Therefore, this method is equivalent to nothing. The seal can be destroyed, but it must not pass through their hands.

Fortunately, because Song Qingxi reacted in time, they did not fall into the encirclement of the puppet army. Although they were chased all the way, they were not in danger of destruction for the time being. As long as they responded properly, they would have a chance to escape unscathed.

Unlike the monks from other families, they were already tightly entangled by the puppet army and could not escape at all.

The worst hit among them were the cultivators from the Tianjian Sect. They were originally a mixture of Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators, and when they were charged by the chariot formation, the Qi Refining cultivators were almost completely wiped out, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators also suffered casualties.

At this moment, they have been surrounded by a large army of puppets, with no escape from the sky or the ground.

Although the Tianjian Sect's monks put up a very tenacious resistance, two fists are no match for four hands after all, and the puppet army is using their numerical advantage to strangle their manpower bit by bit.

Compared to living people, these puppets have no emotions and are not afraid of life or death. As long as the driving core is not damaged, they can continue to charge even if they have lost their heads. Each one is a cold and cruel killing machine.

The sharpest sword in the Da Qi cultivation world was worn down by these iron walls.

Apart from that, the situation in Luoxia City was not much better. The puppet army was advancing too fast and they were surrounded before they could even leave the area of ​​the [Forbidden Air Array].

Fortunately, Zhan Tianxia was very knowledgeable about battle formations. Under Lian Siyu's command, they formed a circle and advanced outward little by little.

Fortunately, all the chariots were attracted to the Tianjian Sect, otherwise it would only take a few charges back and forth to break their formation into pieces.

Fortunately, these are just puppets. Although they have some of the instincts they had in life, their thinking is relatively slow and rigid. Otherwise, the chariots could be mobilized to first defeat Luoxia City, which cannot fly swords, and then defeat the remaining forces one by one.

The current situation can only be described as a blessing in disguise.

The situation of the Tianmai Sect on the other side was slightly better. Although it was a little embarrassed by the dense rain of arrows, it was not in danger of destruction for the time being.

However, Xue Wanjun had no intention of retreating in such a disgraceful manner.

Although he didn't know that this was the country established by the remnants of the Immortal Dynasty, he realized that this was the location of the mausoleum. This pyramid was the most special building among them, and its defense was so tight that its value was definitely extraordinary.

Not to mention anything else, the unknown seal in the sky was extremely extraordinary. It was a top-grade spiritual weapon known for its defensive power, but it couldn't even last a breath of time.

This has already surpassed the category of magic weapon and is most likely a spiritual treasure.

If he could get it, the trip to Tianmai Sect would not be in vain, and he could also take this opportunity to make further progress in the sect.

Just as he was thinking about how to break the impasse, at this moment, a loud bang came from the direction of the Tianjian Sect. It turned out that Jian Chen used a rare talisman, which was a treasure given to him by Jianxu for protection.

I saw a dazzling ball of light bursting out in the air. The dazzling light illuminated the entire underground world. Dozens of chariots and hundreds of infantrymen were directly turned into fragments in the sky, and a gap appeared in the originally indestructible battle formation.

Jian Chen and others took the opportunity to break out, but the reaction speed of the puppet army was beyond their expectations. Only less than half of the survivors broke out of the siege, and the rest were all trapped inside.

What was even worse was that the group that broke out was the one with the highest cultivation and combat power in the Tianjian Sect. Without them to resist in the front, those Tianjian Sect monks who were only in the early and middle stages of foundation building were quickly crushed by the speeding chariots, stabbed to death by the rusty spears, and shot into hedgehogs by sharp arrows...

Jian Chen was filled with grief, but he had no ability to save them. He could only watch them fight to the death and then die.

In the end, he was forcibly pulled away from the battlefield by his fellow disciples.

They left cleanly, but caused trouble for Xue Wanjun and others who were not far from them. After the Puppet Army dealt with the surrounded Tianjian Sect monks, it allocated some chariots and infantry to chase the fleeing Jian Chen and others, while the rest of the force was all invested in the encirclement of the Tianmai Sect monks.

The pressure faced by Xue Wanjun and others suddenly doubled, especially with the addition of the chariot phalanx. They lost their air advantage and breaking through became difficult.

At first they were dissatisfied with the Song family's quick retreat, but now it seems that they are much friendlier than the Tianjian Sect, the pig team.

While resisting the urge to curse, Xue Wanjun began to ask everyone for a plan to break out.

Immediately, a cultivator stepped forward and said, "Third Brother, why don't you use the Thunder Bead that the elder left for you?" The Thunder Bead is very similar to the Thunder Bead that the Song family obtained from the Thunder King Palace. Both are disposable treasures with large-scale lethality. Their power is only stronger than the attack talisman used by Jian Chen.

But Xue Wanjun quickly rejected this proposal. He saw clearly the fate of the Tianjian Sect, and doing so would only end up following in the same footsteps as the Tianjian Sect.

It might even be inferior to them, thanks to the Tianjian Sect. The puppet army surrounding them is much larger than the one the Tianjian Sect faced. He has no confidence that he can break through the battle formation of the puppet army with just the [Thunder Bead] in his hand.

Fortunately, there are also some people with unique vision in Tianmai Sect. When they saw that this plan was rejected by them, a cultivator immediately stood up and said, "Third Brother, I think the key to breaking through is not what is in front of us, but the white jade seal in the air.

The seal is the root of everything. As long as we destroy it, the current crisis will be resolved."

After hesitating for a moment, Xue Wanjun said decisively: "Okay, let's do it!"

He actually had the same concerns as Song Qingxi, but there was really no better solution at the moment. He could only blame the group of stupid teammates from the Tianjian Sect for ruining the previous good situation, forcing him to resort to this bad strategy.

After instructing everyone to guard against possible attacks from the puppet army, he took out the [Thunder Bead], a small jade bead that contained terrifying power like a heavenly calamity.

With a wave of his hand, the [Thunder Bead] suddenly turned into a stream of purple light and rushed straight towards the seal in the air, exploding with a loud bang less than ten feet away from it.

"boom--"

In an instant, lightning snakes danced wildly, bursts of lightning flashed, and the aura of annihilation filled the air. The white jade seal was directly swallowed by this power...

"Hey, why did those puppets suddenly retreat?"

Looking at the puppet army retreating like a tide, Song Youfu, who was drawing his bow like a full moon, was suddenly confused. They had been fighting and retreating all the way, and thought they had to leave the mausoleum to get rid of these guys, but they didn't expect that they would retreat without any warning.

Song Qingxi frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "Could it be that something unexpected happened at the Human King's Tomb?"

Just as she was thinking about it, a loud dragon roar came from far away and entered her ears.

She was not unfamiliar with this voice. It had also appeared when Siyu and others opened the bronze door on the top of the pyramid. This now confirmed her previous guess.

There must have been some big movement at the Human King’s Tomb, forcing these puppet armies to go back for support.

"Could it be that someone really destroyed the [Imperial Seal]?" Song Qinghong muttered softly.

Song Youfu said nonchalantly, "That's just right. Now that the Imperial Seal is destroyed, we don't have to continue fighting in this dark place."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Song Qingxi shook his head slightly, then looked at Song Changxuan and Song Changxue, who were the most senior people present, and said, "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for bringing the people here to wait for a while. Qing Xing and I will go back to investigate the situation."

Song Changxuan objected, "We finally got out of danger, why go back? It's too dangerous. I don't agree."

"It is unknown whether the Daoist friends are alive or dead, and we don't know whether the [Imperial Seal] is destroyed or in someone's hands. The task assigned by the clan leader has not been completed yet, so it is reasonable for us to go back."

"Then let's go back together, so we can have someone to look after us."

Song Qingxi still shook his head and said, "It's enough for the two of us to go. If anything unexpected happens, we can respond well."

Having said that, Song Changxuan had no choice but to compromise and watch with everyone else as the two men returned to the dangerous place.

Halfway through the journey, Song Qingxing suddenly stopped, looked at Song Qingxi seriously and said, "Why don't you go back too? I can go alone."

Song Qingxi smiled and said, "After all, the strength of one person is too weak. It would be better if we can look after each other together. Don't worry, I won't hold you back anymore."

Hearing this, Song Qingxing felt slightly touched.

He did not continue to persuade her, but reached out and held Song Qingxi's cold little hand tightly, and whispered: "Follow me closely."

……

When they arrived, they found that the seal was not destroyed, but the light it emitted was much dimmer than before.

The cultivators from the Tianjian Sect have disappeared, and it is unknown whether they have broken through or were completely wiped out.

The cultivators of Tianmai Sect and Luoxia City were still fighting on their own, struggling to hold on under the attack of the puppet army, and both sides suffered considerable casualties.

Without the Song family and the Tianjian Sect to share the pressure with them, each side had to face a huge army of puppets, whose offensive was as continuous as a tide.

The current situation is no longer something they can control.

Of course, they could also try to destroy the seal, but they couldn't do that.

Now they can only think about whether there is any way to destroy the [Forbidden Air Array] and slightly reduce the pressure on Luoxia City.

At this moment, for some unknown reason, the shadow of a giant sword suddenly appeared in the air, and with its powerful sword force, it suddenly slashed towards the seal in the air.

"Boom——"

When the giant sword collided with the seal, everyone present felt as if they were hit by a heavy hammer, and their ears were buzzing.

Under the gazes of Song Qingxi's shock, Tianmai Sect's joy, and Luoxia City's grief and indignation, the white jade seal in the air was like a piece of white wall dropped on the ground and shattered directly. The fragments of varying sizes turned into hundreds of streams of light that scattered in every corner of the underground world.

"Broken……"

Looking at the scattered lights in the sky, the Luoxia City monks had lifeless eyes and faces full of disbelief. The [Imperial Seal] that had been passed down for an era was broken just like that?
