Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family
Chapter 570 Backstab?
"The Supreme Elder."
"Master-uncle!"
Jian Wuyou's sudden fainting scared all the Tianjian Sect monks, and they quickly surrounded him.
The loss of the Tianjian Sect this time was already great enough. If something went wrong again with the Grand Elder Jian Wuyou, the Tianjian Sect’s “sky” would really collapse.
With the Tianjian Sect as his fellow sufferer, Old Ghost Bai felt much better, but his heart still twitched slightly when he thought of the many people who had died there.
"I hope the gains from this trip can make up for these losses." Bai Laogui thought secretly in his heart.
As the elder leading the team, the team suffered such heavy losses, even losing a direct disciple. If he cannot hand in a satisfactory answer to the sect, he will inevitably be held accountable even if he is a member of the Baiyan Patriarch's clan.
On the contrary, Shen Qingxiu only frowned slightly after seeing the losses of Luoxia City, and then looked at the leader Lian Siyu and said, "Did you get the things?"
If you want to gain something, you must lose something. She had already realized this before issuing the order, and even made worse plans. Fortunately, it hasn't come to that step yet.
Now that she has lost it, all she cares about is whether she gets it back.
Lian Siyu reported with a somewhat grim expression: "Reporting to Master, the [Imperial Seal] may have been broken."
Shocked by this, Shen Qingxiu clenched her hands under her sleeves and asked sternly, "What's going on?"
Lian Siyu quickly recounted the incident in detail, and finally concluded: "After the incident, the disciple ordered all fellow disciples to find the lock pieces as soon as possible. In the end, only a quarter of them were found, and the rest should have fallen into the hands of others.
It is possible that some fragments were buried in the mausoleum.”
After hearing this, Shen Qingxiu's face suddenly became a little ugly. Lian Siyu's meaning was very clear. The [Imperial Seal] was not only broken, but could never be put together again.
The part in the hands of the Song family is fine. If the price is right, they should be able to get it back. There is also a chance for those in the hands of the Tianjian Sect, but the part in the hands of the Tianmai Sect is troublesome.
Although they are still kept in the dark, the Tianmai Sect has a strong foundation of more than 4,000 years after all. After they summarize and digest the gains of this trip, they will probably be able to come to their senses.
The fragments of the seal in their hands would definitely not fall into the hands of Luoxia City.
Seeing her master's grim expression, Lian Siyu added cautiously, "Master, the [Imperial Seal] is a supreme treasure that has been passed down by the human race for an epoch. How could it be destroyed so easily?
I suspect that the broken piece is not the [Imperial Seal] at all."
Shen Qingxiu's expression eased slightly, and she nodded slightly, saying, "Whether it is the [Imperial Seal] or not, I will have a way to verify it after I return. You should heal your wounds first."
While the master and the disciple were talking in secret, Song Changxuan also bowed his head and apologized to Song Changsheng: "It was my decision that was wrong, otherwise Qingyu and Youhua would not have..."
Song Changsheng reached out his hand to help him up, shook his head slightly and said: "Brother, please don't blame yourself too much. Compared with the other families, the loss of the family has been kept to a minimum by you."
After comforting Song Changxuan, Song Changsheng began to ask about the details of the operation.
After learning that the [Imperial Seal] was broken, his first thought was similar to Lian Siyu's. The strength of the magic weapon increases with the increase of its grade.
No matter what grade of magical instrument the [Imperial Seal] was at first, even if it was just an ordinary jade seal, after being nurtured by successive kings of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty for an era, its grade must at least be that of a spiritual treasure.
And how strong is the spiritual treasure?
As a fierce man who can tear apart magical weapons with his bare hands, Song Changsheng often secretly used the [Bai Sha Qiongqi Ding] to test his own strength. However, the final result was that the [Bai Sha Qiongqi Ding] was intact, while Song Changsheng's arms were numb from the rebound.
Therefore, he didn't believe this result at all.
To be precise, anyone with a sound mind would not believe it.
Since the [Imperial Seal] has not been destroyed, then... where is it?
Song Changsheng keenly felt that the turmoil caused by the [Imperial Seal] was far from over, and Luoxia City would definitely continue to send people to explore afterwards.
However, he did not intend to let the Song family continue to sink deeper and deeper into this vortex.
"I have to find a chance to escape." Song Changsheng thought to himself.
The Song family has shed enough blood, and this cannot go on any longer.
"Changsheng, come here."
Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Qingxiu's voice came to his ears.
Song Changsheng looked up and found that Shen Qingxiu, Bai Laogui and Jianxu had gathered together at some point.
"I wonder why Uncle Master is calling me for this?"
"It's like this. I just talked with Fellow Daoist Bai and Sect Master Jianxu about the future ownership of this small world. After all, this small world was discovered by your people, so I think your opinion should prevail."
Song Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly. Are we talking about the issue of attribution so soon?
He did not speak rashly, but smiled and said, "I wonder what Uncle Master and the two Taoist friends think?"
"The ruins are located at the junction of Xuzhou and Yunzhou. According to the rules of the Da Qi cultivation world, this small world should naturally belong to our Tianjian Sect!" Jianxu said gritting his teeth.
He felt angry when he talked about this. This opportunity should have been enjoyed exclusively by the Tianjian Sect, but the other sects intervened and took away most of the opportunity.
That would have been fine, the Tianjian Sect didn't gain much benefit, and on the contrary suffered the biggest loss among all the other sects. It was a huge loss.
He now hopes to completely control this small world in his hands, and then send people to slowly excavate the ruins. He will definitely be able to gain something. Not to mention anything else, the more than 20,000 living puppets are very valuable. As long as a part of them can be dug out, it will be enough to make up for the loss.
“Master Jianxu is wrong. Although this small world is in Xuzhou, it was not discovered by the cultivators of your Tianjian Sect, but by the clansmen of Patriarch Song. It is not appropriate for Master Jianxu to monopolize it, right?
What's more, I put in a lot of effort when breaking the formation." Old Ghost Bai put his hands in his wide sleeves and said indifferently.
"Brother Bai, what you said makes sense. This small world should be developed by everyone together. Only in this way can fairness be demonstrated." Shen Qingxiu agreed with a smile, completely ignoring Jianxu's increasingly dark face.
Song Changsheng finally understood. It turned out that Shen Qingxiu and Bai Laogui had reached a consensus at some point. It seemed impossible for the Tianjian Sect to monopolize the small world.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. Although the mausoleum and the royal city collapsed, they still have great mining value. There are more than one smart people like Jianxu, and no one can give up in vain.
Jianxu's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Since we want to jointly develop the small world, let's break it down and discuss it.
This small world was discovered by my sect's disciples and the Song clan cultivators together. I have no objection to the Song clan's involvement. Fellow Daoist Bai broke the protective formation and is my superior sect, so it is reasonable for the Tianmai Sect to get involved.
However, Luoxia City didn't pay anything, and it took away so many opportunities, and you're still not satisfied? The meat has been eaten, so you have to leave some soup for us, right? "As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present looking at Jianxu suddenly changed subtly. This is to exclude Luoxia City.
"Is this guy crazy?" Song Youfu muttered softly.
"Those words seemed to have offended Luoxia City, but they quietly tied the family and Tianmai Sect together on the same front. This guy is very smart." Song Qingxi shook his head slightly.
Just as Song Qingxi said, Jianxu knew that in front of Shen Qingxiu and Bai Laogui, his opinion was not important at all and could not influence anyone.
But there is one thing he can take advantage of, and that is human nature.
Human greed is endless, and there are only so many resources in this small world. It would seem a bit thin for the four forces to divide them up.
If Luoxia City was kicked out, they would naturally get more.
The reason was ready, so he just kicked it out directly. He believed that Bai Laogui would definitely not give up this rare opportunity.
As expected, Old Ghost Bai changed his camp immediately and said righteously, "Master Jian is absolutely right. Fellow Daoist Shen should be content."
Bai Laogui's sudden defection made the situation of Luoxia City suddenly unfavorable.
In this matter, Luoxia City is indeed somewhat untenable. If they are determined to kick Luoxia City out, Shen Qingxiu really has no other choice but to use force.
It is obviously impossible to use force. Facing the Tianmai Sect, Luoxia City is the weaker party.
Giving up is even more impossible, as that would mean Luoxia City would have no chance of obtaining the [Imperial Seal].
Seeing this, Song Changsheng knew that he should stand up. He cleared his throat and said, "Master Jian is right. I agree with him."
When these words were spoken, everyone present thought there was something wrong with their ears.
Hasn’t the Song family always been in the same boat with Luoxia City?
Didn’t the Song family and the Tianjian Sect already have a falling out?
If that’s the case, why would Song Changsheng agree with Jianxu’s words?
For a moment, everyone was wondering if there was any unpleasantness between the Song family and Luoxia City, and everyone couldn't help but glance at where Shen Qingxiu was.
They all wanted to see how Shen Qingxiu would react to Song's "backstabbing".
To their regret, Shen Qingxiu looked calm and there was no trace of anger or dissatisfaction on her face.
In fact, Shen Qingxiu did not have these emotions in her heart. She was still very relieved about Song Changsheng. She was just curious about what kind of medicine Song Changsheng was selling in his gourd.
Sure enough, the next moment Song Changsheng suddenly changed the subject and said, "According to Sect Master Jian's opinion, the share of this small world should be divided equally into three parts, right?"
Although he didn't know why Song Changsheng wanted to "backstab" Luoxia City, this was exactly what he needed, so he nodded and said, "That's exactly what Jian meant."
Bai Laogui also nodded and said, "Very fair."
After receiving the affirmative reply from the two, Song Changsheng immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face, and spread his hands and said, "In this case, I will transfer this part of the Song family's shares to Luoxia City. I think you two should have no objection, right?"
Everyone present was stunned. This was something they had never expected. Wouldn't this mean handing over their own interests to others?
Even Shen Qingxiu didn't expect Song Changsheng to do this.
"This..." Jianxu was still hesitating, but Bai Laogui said directly: "Since Patriarch Song wants to, there is no problem."
For the Tianmai Sect, it doesn’t matter whether it is the Song family or Luoxia City, as long as the Tianmai Sect can get a share of the pie.
Anyway, it is the Tianjian Sect that is suffering, not him.
Since Old Ghost Bai had expressed his opinion, Jianxu had no choice but to agree even though he was extremely reluctant.
"That's settled then. You guys will decide what to do next. The Song family will no longer be involved." Song Changsheng said with a smile and bowed.
"Changsheng, you don't need to do this." Shen Qingxiu said secretly.
"Uncle Master, don't think too much. I have my reasons for doing this. As you know, the Song family has a weak foundation and does not have the energy to send people to stay in Xuzhou permanently. This share is indeed a bit useless for the Song family.
Besides, I am also a member of Luoxia. If the master wants to find the [Imperial Seal], I will do my part." Song Changsheng responded with a smile.
Of course, these are external reasons. The main reason is that Song Changsheng wants to stay away from this place of trouble.
The harvest this time is so great. Wouldn’t it be great if I could go back and digest it peacefully, and then transform it into family strength?
Transferring a worthless share to Luoxia City would not only allow the Song family to extricate themselves from the matter, but would also help them befriend Luoxia City, which was simply killing two birds with one stone.
Hearing this, Shen Qingxiu's heart couldn't help but be touched, and he solemnly promised: "Don't worry, the master will never treat you unfairly."
"I have never doubted this." Song Changsheng smiled, and then added: "Uncle Master, please rest assured about the seal fragments. I will personally go back to the sect after I return."
Shen Qingxiu nodded slightly. She had to get those seal fragments. Now that Song Changsheng took the initiative to bring it up, she didn't have to be the bad guy.
After the two of them had discussed it, Song Changsheng turned his gaze to Jian Xu and said calmly, "Just now, Song suddenly remembered that there seems to be an agreement between Sect Master Jian and me. It's time to fulfill it now, right?"
"Promise?"
All the disciples of Tianjian Sect looked at Jianxu in confusion, only to see that their sect leader's face was ashen.
"They are all dead, what else do you want?" Jian Xu asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Song Changsheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the first Tianjian Sect disciple who came out to report the news, and said, "Isn't he still alive? As far as I know, he is also among those who want to kill people and steal treasures."
As soon as these words came out, the disciple of the Tianjian Sect turned pale, but he was also a man of integrity. He did not embarrass Jianxu and knelt down in front of him and said, "My disciple has violated the sect rules. His crime is unforgivable. Please punish me, Sect Master!"
Jianxu's heart trembled, and after a long while he slowly raised his right hand and slapped it down suddenly...
