Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"He really came here for Yu Shi and the others." Song Changsheng's previous guess was undoubtedly confirmed at this moment.

He had found it strange before, as the ancestral messengers always travelled alone or with the chief and deputy messengers, so why were there a few juniors accompanying them this time? It turned out they had other purposes.

However, from the current perspective, the ancestral lineage has not yet obtained any concrete evidence, and they must have come here for the purpose of investigation.

He continued to listen attentively, and heard the woman named Song Muci say to the man: "There are thousands of mountains and valleys between the Daqian Cultivation World and the Daqi Cultivation World. Can they really escape here?"

"Normally it's unlikely, but not long after they escaped, Song Shouhe, who manages the family's transport team, reported that one of the family's inter-domain flying boats was missing. Elder Shouhe's grandson has a close relationship with Song Yulong. Do you think there is a connection between these two events?"

Song Muci frowned when she heard this and said, "You mean, Elder Shouhe sent them away with the inter-domain flying boat? That's impossible. Elder Shouhe was severely punished by the family for this matter. They have no relatives or friends. How could Song Yulong allow him to do that?"

"Humph."

Hearing this, the man sneered and said, "That's hard to say. These parasites from other branches have never been on the same page with us. Who knows if they are colluding with each other in private?

Moreover, I have already inquired privately that the Song family in Wangyue Mountain Range also has a large flying boat. It is not easy to build a cross-domain flying boat. I suspect it is the one that Song Shouhekou lost!"

Song Muci's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he said excitedly: "If the flying boat is really here, it would be a major event that would shock the family. Not only can we report it to the family and kill these rebels, but the ancestor can also use this incident to completely overthrow Song Shouhe's branch!"

Seeing that she finally understood what he meant, Song Muqi sneered and said, "That's right, people can hide, but the cross-domain flying boat is huge and not easy to hide.

Our whereabouts this time are secret, so we can definitely catch them off guard. As long as we find the inter-domain flying boat, even if we can't find Song Yulong and others, it will be enough to convict the family."

Hearing this, Song Muci frowned and said, "But what if they don't let us search?"

"Hehe, the man I found earlier swore to me that he had seen the large flying boat under the Song family's banner with his own eyes, so we can just bring it up directly.

Considering our status, this request is not too much, right?
If the flying boat came from the family, they have something to hide and will definitely not dare to show up in front of us. At that time, we can just let the two elders search it. Elder Shouxuan is a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Purple Mansion. Who dares to resist?
Even if they hide, can't we search their souls?" Song Muqi said indifferently, not taking Wangyue Song seriously at all.

In his opinion, in a remote place like Lingzhou, a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Purple Mansion is enough to sweep away everything.

"Brother, you have thought it through. If you can really take this opportunity to overthrow Song Shouhe, the ancestor will certainly reward you handsomely. Then you will have a chance to break through the Purple Mansion.

By then, my elder brother and grandfather will both be Purple Mansion cultivators, and our family will be more valued by the ancestors." Song Muci said happily.

“Humph, it’s a pity that Uncle Seventh is useless. He failed to break through even after obtaining Song Lu Ke’s [Yin Yang Purple Tree Heart]. Otherwise, with four Purple Mansion cultivators in our family, why would we need to use this method to overthrow Song Shouhe?

Grandpa is also getting old and confused."

Song Muqi's tone was full of resentment. It was rumored that the ancestor had originally intended to allocate the [Yin-Yang Purple Tree Heart] to his father Song Yuqian, but in the end, no one knew what kind of advice Song Yuming had given to his grandfather, causing it to be allocated to him.

The final result was that Song Yuqian and Song Yuming both failed to break through, but Song Yuming saved his life by using the [Yin Yang Purple Tree Heart], while his father died directly.

This matter has always been a thorn in his heart.

"Isn't that just a rumor?" Song Muchi said with a little hesitation.

"Oh, I only know that there is no smoke without fire. How can Seventh Uncle compare to father?" Song Muqi responded expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Song Muci didn't dare to refute any more, and changed the subject to chat for a few words, and then they both went to sleep...

After all, the brother and sister were still young, and their vigilance was far inferior to that of Song Shouxuan and the others. They never thought that there would be someone eavesdropping on the roof at this moment.

After listening to their conversation, Song Changsheng benefited a lot, and many of his previous doubts and speculations were explained.

According to what the two men just said, they came quietly this time, ready to catch them off guard.

The ancestral lineage had informed them long ago that the guiding envoy was coming and had instructed them to welcome him.

If the two siblings knew this, they would never have made such a plan just now.

"Could it be that someone deliberately leaked the news to us?" Song Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He had felt that something was wrong before. The ancestral lineage had never given prior notice when the messengers came in the past.

Besides, even if they notified us, why wouldn’t they give a specific time?

It can only be said that the person who delivered the message actually did not know exactly when the guiding messenger would arrive, so he could only use this method to tip them off, giving them enough time to react and hide certain things that could not be seen by the light.

What are those that cannot see the light?
Of course it was the flying boat and Song Yulong and others.

But before Song Yulong fled here, he had said that the Da Qi lineage was not valued within the ancestral lineage because it did not have the right to speak.

Things like communication altars are often family secrets, and those who have the right to use them are usually powerful people. This obviously cannot be the hidden card left by Song Yulong. It is most likely the Song Shouhe mentioned by the brother and sister.

The other party was in charge of the transport team and had considerable power within the clan. The fact that he was only slightly punished for such a serious matter as the disappearance of a cross-domain flying boat was enough to prove his status.

In addition, Song Yulong and others said that they escaped with the tacit consent of an elder. (See Chapter 61 of this volume for details)
He didn't ask in detail at the beginning, but now it seems that it is most likely Song Shouhe. The fact that he is in charge of the transport team also fits this point.

All kinds of information indicate that Song Shouhe had a close relationship with Song Yulong or Song Lu Ke.

Otherwise, he would not have taken such a big risk and allowed Song Yulong and others to escape in a cross-domain flying boat.

But Song Yulong never told them about these things after returning to his clan. Even the name Song Shouhe was the first time he heard it. Was there some other hidden story, or were they deliberately concealing it?

With such questions in mind, Song Changsheng returned to Cangmang Peak in the night.

At this moment, the lights in the General Affairs Hall were still on, and it was Song Luyun who was waiting for news from him.

Seeing him come back, he hurried forward to ask.

Song Changsheng briefly recounted the key points and also included his own guesses. After listening, Song Luyun reached a high degree of consensus with him, but she said she could explain Song Changsheng's question.

“When he was working with Yu Shi before, he mentioned that after Lu Ke was brought back to the ancestral lineage, he took refuge with Song Shouhu, who was also from a branch family. He and Song Shouhe are brothers from the same clan.

Therefore, Yulong and his friends established friendship with Song Shouhe's descendants.

Song Shouhu passed away not long after that, and from that time on, Lu Ke and his tribe had a hard time making ends meet. At that time, Lu Ke wanted to defect to Song Shouhe, but failed.

Yulong and his companions' decision to seize the inter-domain flying boat to escape was actually a gamble. Fortunately, their gamble was successful. After all, Song Shouhe still remembered a bit of friendship and did not stop them.

However, according to what the two said, Song Shouhe not only acquiesced to their escape, but also described the theft of the inter-domain flying boat as a disappearance. No wonder the ancestral vein did not follow up on Yulong's escape. It turned out that they did not think that they could escape to Daqi alive. In addition, perhaps they felt that such a thing was shameful, so they kept it secret. "

"So that's how it is. Now everything makes sense." Song Changsheng nodded slightly. He didn't know what Song Luyun said.

"What does the clan leader think about the plan they mentioned?" Song Luyun asked back.

“If the family had not received the news in advance and they went to Zhangye County, there would still be a possibility of discovery, but now, the first batch of cultivators who returned to the family have already moved to the Cangmang Small World, and the cross-domain flying boat has long been hidden.

That flying boat has only been used once, and the family is currently using flying boats that were built by themselves. If they want to see them, I will show them those." Song Changsheng said indifferently.

The two juniors were still too immature in their actions, and Song Changsheng didn't take them seriously at all. What made him most wary was the guiding messenger. It was obvious that the other party was not here for Song Yulong's matter. This unknown thing was the most troublesome thing.

"What does the patriarch plan to do?"

"Let's follow him first and see if we can find any clues. During this period, let the tribesmen be alert. Especially those who are going down the mountain, it is best not to reveal their identities." Song Muqi's words "search the soul" reminded him that the people from the ancestral lineage were not kind and could do anything...

Song Changsheng followed Song Muchi and the others, trying to find out their purpose, but after several days, he didn't gain much.

The only thing is that the other party seems to be very interested in the Da Qi cultivation world and has been trying to find out information about Da Qi and the Song family all the way, which is intriguing.

On the seventh day after arriving at Wangyue Market, the leading monk with a goatee looked at the rolling hills of Wangyue Mountain Range and said to the people around him, "It's time to go up the mountain."

"I didn't expect that a branch that didn't even have a Purple Mansion cultivator at the beginning has now developed to this point. Song Changsheng's talent is really astonishing. Yu Qing is far inferior to him."

If they had heard this a few days ago, Song Muchi and Song Muchi would have definitely jumped out to refute it, but after a few days of investigation, they admitted that Song Changsheng's qualifications were indeed not something they could question.

In terms of age, both of them are older than Song Changsheng, but their cultivation is vastly different. Even the Song family does not have such a genius.

Seeing the two people being so honest, Song Zhexuan's expression eased a little and he responded, "Isn't this exactly what the family needs? Our trip this time was not in vain."

After saying that, he led the way towards Cangmang Peak...

After they left, Song Changsheng's figure appeared from not far away, frowning and thinking.

"Are these people here to be recruited?" As far as he knew, the ancestral lineage had only two ways of dealing with the scattered branches: suck the blood of those who were not strong, and recruit the strong ones, that is, suck their blood in a different way.

With the current strength of the Song family, they are indeed qualified to be incorporated.

"Interesting." Song Changsheng suddenly found that things were getting a little interesting...

"The family's envoy has arrived. Where is the patriarch of the Wangyue Song clan? Why doesn't he come down the mountain to greet him?" Song Muchi's clear voice echoed in the mountains, but did not cause much waves.

Song Muci called out twice more, and Song Luyun came to the mountain gate with several family elders. He saluted in a dignified manner and said, "Song Luyun, the general affairs elder of the Wangyue Song family, and the family elders' council, greet the welcoming envoy."

Seeing that it was only the general affairs elder who came, Song Muqi immediately seemed to have caught something, and immediately scolded: "The guide envoy came in person, why didn't Song Changsheng and Song Xianming go down the mountain to greet him, don't you think he is serious?"

Song Luyun said calmly, "Of course, our clan has no intention of disrespecting our family, but it is really unfortunate that you have come. The clan leader and the supreme elder are in seclusion and cannot greet you in person, so I have to do it for you. I hope the envoys will forgive me."

This was of course a lie. Song Changsheng and Song Xianming were watching on the mountain at the moment. They didn't come down to greet them just because they didn't want to lower their status and encourage these people's arrogance.

Song Muqi glared and was about to continue to attack, but Song Zhexuan made him retreat with just a look.

“It’s okay, we didn’t notify you in advance, so it’s understandable.

I am Song Zhexuan, and this is the deputy envoy Song Qingxuan. I am here to take on the important task of the family. I would like to ask the elders to ask the clan leader and the supreme elder to come out of seclusion. "Song Zhexuan said expressionlessly.

"Of course. Please ask the envoy to go up the mountain. I have already sent someone to inform them." Song Luyun had a decent smile on her face, which did not seem distant nor fawning.

After everyone went up the mountain, they went straight to the main hall, but Song Changsheng deliberately arrived a step late.

"The envoy of our ancestral lineage has arrived, and Changsheng was unable to greet him from afar. Please forgive me." Song Changsheng bowed to Song Zhexuan with a smile on his face.

Song Zhexuan, who was sitting at the upper left, raised his head, and his eyes met Song Changsheng's. He was suddenly startled, as he could not actually see Song Changsheng's cultivation level.

As a guiding messenger, he has mastered a special eye technique. No one with a lower level of cultivation than him can escape his detection, unless the other person's cultivation is higher than his.

He has already reached the great perfection of Purple Mansion, so this is naturally impossible, but Song Changsheng's cultivation is definitely not just as simple as the late Purple Mansion stage as rumored by the outside world.

"Such a young Purple Mansion Great Perfection cultivator?" Song Zhexuan's eyelids twitched slightly. He felt that he had underestimated Song Changsheng.

"There hasn't been an envoy from the ancestral vein coming to Cangmang Peak for seventy years. We didn't receive any response from the previous contact. I thought the ancestral vein had forgotten about us. It turns out we were overthinking. I wonder if the envoy brought anything?" Song Changsheng said with a smile.

"thing?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present, including Song Luyun, was confused. What is that?
