Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 699 Battle
"Grand Elder, what did our ancestors say?" Seeing Song Daoling walking out of the secret realm, Song Wuji hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Song Daoling said with a sullen face, "The ancestor does not want to start a war, and intends to severely punish Song Xiangjie to quell the conflict."

"How could this be?" Song Wuji suddenly became a little uneasy. He originally thought that this was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that Song Minghuang actually refused.

"Are you really just going to let it go like this? Are you just going to bow your head like this?"

"So what do you want to do? Go against the will of our ancestors?"

Song Wuji was choked when he heard this. He didn't have the courage to go against Song Minghuang's will. Moreover, if Song Minghuang didn't take action personally, the possibility of them destroying the Wangyue Song family would be infinitely close to zero.

This war died in its cradle before it even started.

Song Wuji had a gloomy face and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Song Xiangjie can't be saved anymore, just give up, this matter ends here.

You should be more careful in the future. If another fool like Song Xiangjie appears, your position as clan leader will be over." Song Daoling said with a look of disappointment on his face.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Song Wuji say in a grim tone: "Since you are going to give up, you might as well make full use of his remaining value."

This really attracted Song Daoling to stop and frowned slightly, saying, "What are you going to do?"

Song Wuji said fiercely: "Replying to the Grand Elder, my grandson now has two plans.

First, find an excuse to release Song Xiangjie and send him to the Da Qi cultivation world, allowing him to resolve his grudges on his own. All his descendants will be exiled, and life and death will depend on my decision. I am not afraid that he will not surrender.

With his cultivation level, there are not many people in the Wangyue Song Clan who can control him. Although he cannot achieve any great results, he can still vent the anger of the family. "

I have to say that Song Wuji's plan is quite vicious. The most terrifying thing in this world is the fearless desperado.

Therefore, unless they are absolutely sure of being able to eradicate the root of the problem, the major forces rarely launch wars to exterminate a clan or a family.

For example, if a war breaks out between the two Song dynasties, the Wangyue Song clan is destroyed, but Song Changsheng escapes. If you were the Jinxiu Banner Song clan, would you be panicked?
He has strength and talent, and is free from any constraints. As long as Song Changsheng is alive, the entire Song family of [Jinxiu Banner] will have to live with fear in their hearts.

Not to mention Song Changsheng, even if Song Qingxing escaped, they couldn't sleep peacefully.

Jindan cultivators are very powerful, but they cannot take care of everything.

The same principle applies to the Song family.

With Song Xiangjie's cultivation level of the late Purple Mansion, no matter whether he is thrown into Yangzhou or Jiangzhou, he can definitely cause huge losses to the Wangyue Song family on the premise of wreaking havoc without regard for his life.

If you can drag a Purple Mansion cultivator into this, you will make a ton of money.

And what they need to pay is very little.

"What about the second option?" Although Song Daoling was somewhat tempted, he did not rush to draw conclusions.

Song Wuji smiled grimly and said, "Didn't Song Changsheng say that he would personally deal with Song Xiangjie? Why don't we give him this opportunity?

Using him as a bargaining chip, he challenged Song Changsheng to a duel. Even if he couldn't take his life, he would at least find a chance to severely injure him. Even if he couldn't destroy his path, he could at least slow down his rise.

If successful, not only can they be dampened, but the family's reputation can also be restored, and a future hidden danger can be eliminated. Perhaps this incident can also be used to make the Wangyue Song family pay another price as a bargaining chip in the fight.

Even if it fails, the family will only lose a death row prisoner."

Song Daoling narrowed his eyes slightly. If he could really injure Song Changsheng severely, it would be more tempting than doing some cheap sabotage secretly.

And it is highly feasible.

But he still had some doubts in his heart. If he wanted to challenge Song Changsheng to a duel, he naturally could not do it himself. After all, Song Changsheng was not a fool. It was impossible for him to fight with a cultivator whose cultivation level was not equal to his, even in a life-and-death fight.

As a result, the only one in the entire clan who could meet the requirements was Song Tianyuan, who was also in the early stage of the Golden Core.

He was not too worried about Song Tianyuan's strength. He had broken through the Jindan stage many years ago and was only one step away from the middle Jindan stage. He had been fighting with the sea king in the East China Sea for many years and had rich practical experience.

Even though Song Changsheng is gifted, he has just broken through the Jindan stage not long ago, and his realm may not even be stable. Even if he can win the fight by chance, he will definitely pay the price.

What he was worried about was whether Song Tianyuan would fight to the death with Song Changsheng or even kill him as they expected. He had always been a staunch "peace advocate."

Song Wuji also knew Song Daoling's concerns, and couldn't help but say: "Although the attitude of Tianyuan Patriarch towards the Wangyue Song family is contrary to ours, he has always put the interests of the family first.

Talking to him about this shouldn't be a problem."

In order to vent his anger, Song Wuji tried his best and even plotted against Song Tianyuan.

But as the old saying goes, "A gentleman can be deceived by tricks", and this also applies to loyal family members.

“Since you have thought it through, I will leave this matter to you. As long as you can convince him, I will replace Tian Yuan and go to the East China Sea to take charge for a period of time.

Remember, you must make him destroy Song Changsheng at all costs!" Song Daoling said sternly.

"Grandson obeys."

……

"I heard that the Grand Elder went to meet the ancestor. What do you think about this?"

In the General Affairs Hall, Song Jiyuan unnoticed a piece of important news to Song Shouhe.

Song Shouhe was shocked, and then he replied respectfully: "This is the first time I've heard of this, and it's not something I can ask about."

Hearing this, Song Jiyuan smiled faintly and said, "Don't pretend to be confused in front of me. It's meaningless.

The Supreme Elder went to see the ancestor, he must have wanted to start a war with the Wangyue Song family. If the ancestor takes action, no matter how brilliant Song Changsheng is, he will be like a turtle in a jar or a fish in a net, and the outcome will be decided in one battle.

The most interesting thing is that Song Taiyi’s case was originally supervised by our ancestor himself.

Alas, it’s a pity that the ancestor did not agree, and such a great opportunity was wasted.

Moreover, the ancestor also announced that he would severely punish Song Xiangjie and others to correct the family tradition. "

Song Jiyuan's face was full of regret, but his tone was a bit gloating. Every time Song Wuji suffered a setback, he would be one step closer to the throne of clan leader. For him, nothing could be more comforting than this.

As for Song Changsheng, his view was the same as Song Minghuang's. In his opinion, the Wangyue Song Clan's declaration of war against them was just a pretense. As long as they dealt with Song Xiangjie, Song Changsheng would naturally retreat and would not pose any threat at all. Hearing that the ancestor did not agree, Song Shouhe was relieved. They had just made a bet on the Wangyue Song Clan, and going to war with them was obviously not in their own interests.

But what puzzled him was why Song Jiyuan told him all this. Did their bet on the Wangyue Song family get exposed?

Seeing this, Song Jiyuan smiled and said, "Don't think too much, it's just a casual chat after work. I agree with the plan to build a fourth-order spaceship. You can start implementing it after you go down. The family will give you the greatest support.

If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement."

After saying that, he patted Song Shouhe on the shoulder affectionately and escorted him out of the hall.

After watching Song Shouhe leave, Song Jiyuan's smile grew brighter, and he said leisurely, "I hope you can feel my sincerity."

The reason why I said this to Song Shouhe was that I wanted to use him to tell Song Changsheng.

In his opinion, blood ties cannot be severed, and after this storm is over, the Wangyue Song family can still be regarded as a potential ally.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If I do Wangyue Song a favor now, it may help him to get promoted in the future.

No matter what, it's Song Wuji who's suffering...

After returning to his own palace, Song Shouhe thought more and more that Song Jiyuan's attitude was wrong.

After pondering behind closed doors for several hours, he finally figured out the key. He took out a jade slip from his arms, recorded the news in it, and then openly spread it out through the family's internal channels.

Of course, he couldn't send a message directly to the Wangyue Song family, as that would easily lead to gossip.

This jade slip of his will be sent to his own family first, and then his trusted descendants will connect with the people from the Wangyue Song family, so that it can be foolproof.

The branch where Song Shouhe is located is very far away from Tianlong Peak, and is located on the edge of the Daqian cultivation world. Some of them have even protruded out of the Daqian cultivation world, and are also one of the more powerful Zifu clans in the area.

The current clan leader is Song Shouhe’s nephew Song Xuanyun.

After receiving the jade slip of communication from Song Shouhe, Song Xuanyun immediately sent his confidant to contact the spy sent by Wangyue Song family and handed it over together with several other pieces of intelligence during this period.

In this way, this piece of information carrying Song Jiyuan's full sincerity took more than a month to go around in circles before finally reaching Cangmang Peak.

Song Qingshi looked at the information he had just obtained and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

During this period of time, he has used various channels and means to send many spies to the Daqian cultivation world and found out a lot of information about the Song family of [Jinxiu Banner]. Combined with the information previously provided by Song Shouhe, they already have enough understanding of the Song family of [Jinxiu Banner].

Song Minghuang mentioned in the intelligence is the strongest person from the Song family of [Jinxiu Banner], and a veteran golden elixir cultivator who has reached the great perfection.

This is also the opponent that the family fears the most.

Most of the preparations the Song family is making now are aimed at Song Minghuang.

Now that Song Minghuang has clearly expressed his wishes, it is naturally a good thing for them, and Song Daoling is nothing to be afraid of.

Of course, we also need to be wary that this is a trick used by the Song family of the Jinxiu Banner.

"Starting a war now is indeed disadvantageous for the family. The current situation is not bad." Song Qingluo shook his head slightly. He always felt that the family was a little too hasty in this matter.

We should accumulate strength for a period of time before turning against the Song family of the Jinxiu Banner and achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost.

Of course, he also knew that Song Changsheng did this to boost the morale of the family and was unwilling to continue to feign flattery to the main branch.

Knowing it is one thing, but it does not fit his style of doing things. He prefers to solve the biggest problems at the lowest cost.

"The clan leader naturally has his own considerations. These are not matters that you and I can interfere with. Send the information to the General Affairs Hall and see what the General Affairs Elders think.

I don't think this matter will end so easily, the family cannot let down their guard." Song Qingshi said, pressing the jade slip in his hand.

Song Qingluo nodded in agreement and said, "I agree with you on this point."

After handing the jade slip to a deacon in the hall, Song Qingshi suddenly asked, "What do you think of Zhang Ming?"

"Are you referring to the great monk in the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain?"

"That's right." Song Qingshi nodded and sighed, "After the Tianjian Sect retreated in the face of difficulties, the situation in Xiangzhou has stabilized. The Tianmai Sect controls most of the resource points in Xiangzhou, and the family has won over most of the families and sects in Xiangzhou.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for either the family or the Tianmai Sect to withdraw, but it is also not in their interests to go to war for this.

We have already contacted each other privately, and finally decided to divide Xiangzhou equally, with each side supporting a force to guard the land and resources they occupy.

The clan leader originally intended to let the commander-in-chief guard Xiangzhou, but as you know, it is not convenient for the commander-in-chief to show up, so this position is now vacant.

The General Affairs Hall has currently decided on two candidates. One is to be trained from among the subordinate forces below, and the other is Master Zhang Ming. The Council of Elders is a little undecided, so we at the Wind Whisper Hall will give some advice."

Song Qingluo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Brother, you seem to be leaning towards Master Zhang Ming?"

“Yes, this is the most direct solution with the least investment.

But whether this person is trustworthy is still unknown. You were responsible for investigating Zhang Ming's origins and background and had a lot of contact with him, so I want to hear your opinion."

Song Qingluo pondered for a moment and said, "Based on the results of my investigation, Master Zhang Ming's background is relatively clean. We can give it a try. The family can just send someone to watch him. With the clan leader and the guardian elders here, even if he has any ulterior motives, he won't be able to cause any trouble.

The cost of supporting subordinate forces is too high, and there are more uncontrollable factors. "

"Since you said so, then just reply to the General Affairs Elder in the same way." Song Qingshi nodded slightly.

At this time, a deacon from the Wind Whispering Hall walked in quickly with a jade scroll, handed it over with both hands and said, "Elder, this is news from the Song family of the Jinxiu Banner."

The two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. Song Qingshi quickly took it over and read the message in the jade slip with a frown on his brows almost the entire time.

"What's the matter?" Seeing his frown, Song Qingluo couldn't help but ask.

Song Qingshi handed him the jade slip and said solemnly, "They are using Song Xiangjie as a bargaining chip to challenge the family to a battle!"
