Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"Greetings, sir. I'm sorry to bother you again." Seeing Song Changsheng come in, Song Zhexuan, who had been waiting for a while, hurriedly stood up and saluted.

His heart was also filled with helplessness. He didn't want to get involved in this muddy water. He just couldn't stand Song Wuji's personality and style of doing things. Song Luyun's previous remarks about plundering luck also always made him feel uneasy.

For his own selfish desires, the family's number one genius failed in the trial field and became a cripple, and the supreme elder was also seriously injured.

The goal of weakening the Wangyue Song family was not achieved, but instead it dealt a heavy blow to themselves.

In just a few days, the bitter fruit that was planted has taken root and sprouted.

In Daqian, Qianren City and Hanhai Chamber of Commerce are pressing forward step by step, trying to suppress the major industries of [Jinxiu Banner] and invade their trade market.

Outside of Daqian, the sea tribe in the East China Sea is ready to move. They keep receiving border warnings and are in danger of making a comeback. Song Daoling has already rushed to the East China Sea to guard it.

The clan was also in chaos. Song Jiyuan's lineage seized this rare opportunity and frantically suppressed Song Wuji's lineage, causing chaos and everyone was in danger. No one at the clan meeting could come up with a solution, and everyone was just blaming others.

The worst thing is that the group of people who used to remain neutral in factional struggles also participated in the suppression of Song Wuji this time.

The calls from the clan members for holding Song Wuji accountable are getting louder and louder, and even now there is still a large number of young clan members blocking the entrance of the General Affairs Hall.

After so much fighting, there is still no one who can serve as an envoy to negotiate with the Wangyue Song family.

There was no other way; this heavy burden had to fall on his shoulders. Originally, he was not qualified to conduct such negotiations with his status, but the Council of Elders threw this thankless job on him on the grounds that he had more contact with Song Changsheng.

Song Zhexuan was extremely unhappy.

He has very complicated feelings towards Song Changsheng. He used to think of him as a younger generation who could be won over, but now he has become the number one enemy of the family. He is also the murderer of Song Muqi.

The reward offered previously seemed so ironic at this moment.

But what else could he say? Song Xiangjie had fallen, and all his clansmen from him were exiled to the border areas. Does it matter whether a criminal is dead or alive, or how he died?

Apparently no one cares.

But at this moment he felt a little embarrassed facing Song Changsheng.

After Song Changsheng entered the hall, he sat down in the first seat and ignored him. He was neither sitting nor standing, feeling very uncomfortable.

After a while, Song Changsheng put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly: "Why doesn't Song Wuji come in person? Don't you have the courage?
Haha, I am not some monstrous beast, is he afraid that I will eat him?"

Hearing that he was no longer silent, Song Zhexuan was relieved, and after calming down his complicated mood, he said, "The clan has been busy with affairs recently, and I need to be in charge personally, so I was entrusted with this matter.

However, please rest assured, I came here with absolute sincerity, and I only hope that you can give me this opportunity. "

"Busy! Is it that Thousand Blade City has cut off your trade routes or is the sea clan army rising again?" Song Changsheng stood up and looked down at him, his tone full of teasing.

Before meeting Song Zhexuan, he had already contacted Fengyu Palace's spies in Daqian and received information from Song Shouhe. He knew everything that had happened in the Jinxiu Banner in the past few days.

[Jinxiu Banner] We are now in trouble both internally and externally, and no one has been able to step forward to improve the current situation. It is truly rotten to the core.

Hearing this, Song Zhexuan's heart sank. Although these things were not confidential, Song Changsheng had only been in Daqian for a few days? He had figured it out so quickly. This was undoubtedly extremely unfavorable news for the subsequent negotiations.

"These are all groundless rumors. I hope you won't believe in slander. Let's talk about business." Song Zhexuan tried to cover up.

"So it's just a rumor." Song Changsheng smiled and didn't go into it any further. Instead, he went straight to the point and asked, "So how do you plan to solve this matter?"

"We are willing to continue to show our sincerity on the basis of what has been delivered so far. Here is the list. Please take a look at it."

Song Changsheng took the jade slip he handed over and read: "One piece of top-grade spiritual stone, three top-grade magic weapons, a spiritual island with an area of ​​no less than 10,000 hectares, a third-level spiritual vein, and a deep-sea port, the output of 10,000 mu of Fire Cloud Mulberry Field for half a year, plus five pairs of [Red-bellied Unicorn Silkworms]?"

I have to say that [Jinxiu Banner] was really panicked this time and started bleeding heavily.

After winning the previous gambling fight, Song Wuji handed over the previously agreed bet, which was five hundred high-quality spirit stones, an island with a second-level spirit vein, five thousand acres of [Fire Cloud Mulberry]'s annual output, five pairs of [Red-bellied Unicorn Silkworm], and four ocean-going battleships.

They more than doubled their existing base.

And this is not their bottom line. After thousands of years of accumulation, their profound foundation is amazing.

"Oh, what a generous deal. However, I am not interested in these things now. Let's follow the contract." Song Changsheng slapped the jade slip on the table with an expressionless face, and Song Zhexuan's heart trembled along with the teacup on the table.

"If there is anything that you are not satisfied with, you can talk about it as long as you bring it up!
You know clearly that the family will never agree to those two contracts, so I advise you to quit while you are ahead." Song Zhexuan advised earnestly.

"It seems that Elder Zhexuan still can't make the decision. If that's the case, I will go find someone who can make the decision."

There was a flash of cold light in Song Changsheng's eyes, and before Song Zhexuan could react, he had already grabbed him in his hand.

The Purple Mansion Great Perfection cultivator was like a chicken in front of him and had no power to resist.

"Why is this happening, Master?" Song Zhexuan was suddenly horrified.

Song Changsheng said nothing, took a step forward, and the yin and yang energies flowed under his feet, taking Song Zhexuan with him and disappearing into thin air.

Song Zhexuan only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, what came into view was the Tenglong Mountains that stretched across the earth like a giant dragon, and the towering Tianlong Peak could already be seen in its entirety.

"Tianlong Peak..." After realizing what Song Changsheng was going to do, Song Zhexuan's blood pressure suddenly surged and his hands and feet turned cold.

Now that Song Minghuang is in seclusion, Song Daoling is stationed in the East China Sea, and Song Tianyuan is still seriously injured, who can withstand the brilliance of Song Changsheng?
"Things haven't reached that point yet. Please think twice, think twice!" Song Zhexuan shouted anxiously, but Song Changsheng ignored him and covered his mouth with his hand instead.

Song Changsheng arrived in front of Tianlong Peak, his majestic aura was not concealed at all, and he said in a thunderous voice: "I am Song Changsheng of the Wangyue Song Clan, and I have come to pay my respects to the mountain. Tell Song Wuji to come out and see me!"

His words, mixed with magic power, were clearly heard by everyone on Tianlong Peak. For a moment, the entire spiritual peak was shocked.

A group of Song clan monks raised their heads and looked at the majestic figure in the sky, their eyes filled with confusion, shock, anger, and puzzlement.

With so many things happening, the Wangyue Song family has already become known to everyone.

But no one expected that Song Changsheng would come to Tianlong Peak to challenge him so openly. Was he trying to repeat the past? Did he really think they were just dough?
"Look at his hands." Someone suddenly exclaimed.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that Song Changsheng was clearly holding a person in his hand, and the person's face looked quite familiar.

“It’s Elder Zhexuan!”

"Elder Zhexuan was captured by criminals?"

"Hurry up and inform the clan leader and the great elder!"

For a moment, Tianlong Peak was in chaos.

Song Changsheng ignored them and directly activated his [Eye of Delusion-Breaking] to observe the protective formation of Tianlong Peak.

In front of you is also a large combined formation. There are three fourth-level top-grade formations arranged on the top of the mountain, the middle of the mountain, and the foot of the mountain. They have the three characteristics of killing, defense, and bewitching.

These three formations are connected together to form a fourth-grade ultimate-level protective formation. Unless a Yuanying Zhenjun or a fourth-grade ultimate-level formation master is present in person, it can definitely be said to be impregnable.

Although the combined magic array is good, it also has a fatal flaw, which is that it is easy for people to find loopholes and break through one by one.

Almost any fourth-level top-grade formation master can do this.

Although Song Changsheng has not yet reached that level, the existence of the [Eye of Breaking Delusion] will infinitely enhance his ability to break formations. All it takes is a little time.

Soon, Song Wuji, Song Jiyuan and a group of elders from the Jinxiu Banner rushed over.

"Song Changsheng, you are really lawless. Do you really think that I, the clan leader, can't deal with you?" Song Wuji was like an angry lion. He actually came to the door directly. He was so brave!

"Oh? Then I would like to meet him. Where is Song Daoling? Why doesn't he show up?" Song Changsheng said leisurely.

Song Wuji's face turned pale. Song Daoling was far away in the East China Sea, so it was impossible for him to show up. He quickly said to Song Xiangcun, "Hurry up and send a message to the Grand Elder."

Seeing Song Xiangcun leaving in a hurry, Song Changsheng was not in a hurry and continued to observe the mountain protection formation. Song Shouhe had even revealed the secrets of the [Jinxiu Flag] to him. The East China Sea clan army counterattacked, and Song Daoling was unable to cope with the situation.

If he dares to come back, the East China Sea will be in chaos, and in this way, his goal will be achieved.

If Song Daoling doesn't come back, then force Song Minghuang to come out. No matter what, he will not lose out.

If these two goals are not achieved, don't blame him for making up for it from other places. A severely injured Song Tianyuan can't stop him!
"Song Changsheng, I sent someone to negotiate with you out of good intentions, but you ignored your dignity as a real person and bullied the weak. Isn't that a bit too much?
Let Zhexuan go and leave. I can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself!" Song Wuji shouted angrily.

Song Changsheng's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Song Wuji, if you hadn't failed to fulfill the contract, I wouldn't have made this trip. This place is full of filth and it's disgusting to smell.

Everything that Song Zhexuan and the Jinxiu Banner are experiencing now should be blamed on you.

If you don’t follow me today, there will be bloodshed on Tianlong Peak!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Tianlong Peak was in an uproar, and countless young and energetic members of the Song family began to denounce Song Changsheng.

But the expressions of the elders who knew the situation were not optimistic. If Song Daoling could get away, they would naturally not be afraid of Song Changsheng.

But what if I can’t get away?

After waiting for a while, Song Xiangcun came back with a heavy face and said, "Chief, the Cailin clan has violated the border and the demon king is in charge. The Supreme Elder is leading the fleet to fight against them and cannot spare time. Let us rely on the protective formation to block them first. He said that Song Changsheng dare not make a big deal."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders' faces turned pale.

At this time, Song Changsheng had also discovered a flaw in the formation. The expressions of the crowd made him realize that Song Daoling would not come back, and he could not help but said loudly: "I will give you one stick of incense. If you don't hand over Song Wuji, I will do it myself.

If there is bloodshed, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

As he spoke, he took out a yellow incense stick from his sleeve, blew it to light it, and then actually inserted it into the empty void.

Seeing this scene, Song Jiyuan and others' pupils suddenly shrank.

The yellow incense burned very quickly, and the hearts of the monks of the Jinxiu Banner could not help but rise.

Even if a person has a slow reaction, he should have noticed something since he hasn't seen Song Jiyuan show up yet.

Panic began to spread inadvertently, and everyone's eyes turned to Song Wuji. He was the patriarch and the culprit of all this. Everyone hoped that he could come up with a solution, no matter what form it was.

Song Wuji's expression changed rapidly, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Keep the mountain protection formation open. He will leave naturally when the time comes."

This was undoubtedly the most passive way of dealing with the situation. The way everyone looked at Song Wuji slowly changed, and the long-accumulated dissatisfaction seemed to be about to burst out at this moment.

Even the elders who had supported him for a long time began to waver at this moment.

Feeling the anger of the crowd, Song Wuji turned his face away, not daring to look at them.

What can he do now? Can he really hand himself over?
That would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth!

"call……"

A breeze blew, and the ashes of the burnt yellow incense drifted away with the wind.

Huang Xiang, destroyed.

"Everyone, the time has come."

Song Changsheng's voice, like a death warrant, rang out in the air, and everyone on Tianlong Peak felt an inexplicable chill on their backs.

"He can't break in because of the mountain protection formation. The elders and deacons should each do their job!" Song Wuji shouted angrily. Although he was trying to calm people's hearts, it sounded a bit lacking in strength to everyone's ears.

"It seems that they are planning to fight to the bitter end." Song Changsheng smiled lightly, and then suddenly turned cold. He spread his palm, and the [Void Bell] spun out, expanding several times in the air.

"Duang~~~"

[Void Bell] was struck by Song Changsheng, causing the void to vibrate. A visible space ripple with it as the center suddenly rushed towards Tianlong Peak, just like waves on a calm lake.

"Om-"

The Tianlong Peak formation was instantly activated, and a translucent protective shield enveloped the entire Tianlong Peak.

"boom--"

A deafening explosion sounded, and Tianlong Peak was shaken violently. Dozens of formation masters who were responsible for maintaining the operation of the formation were struck by lightning and coughed up blood.

The cultivators living at the foot of Tianlong Peak were even more miserable. Not only did their caves collapse, but many low-level cultivators also suffered heart injuries from the aftermath and wailed in agony.

This is not the end yet. The violent space shock caused several dark cracks to appear in the void, and they quickly "climbed" onto the defense shield of the formation.

"Click, click..."

The sound of the glass cracking was clearly heard by everyone.

Then they were horrified to find that a tiny crack had appeared in the formation's defense shield, and it was rapidly spreading to the surrounding areas.

In an instant, Song Wuji and others felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave. Was their reliance going to be broken like this?
Fortunately, Song Changsheng's cultivation was still shallow, and this attack only shook the formation. After the resulting space cracks healed, the cracks on the formation also stopped spreading and healed quickly with the blessing of the spiritual veins.

Upon seeing this, the hearts of the monks from the Jinxiu Banner, which had been in their throats, slowly fell back into their stomachs.

Although the attack failed, Song Changsheng was not discouraged. He just clenched his fist and hit the [Void Bell] hard.

"Duang~~"

Powerful sound waves swept over again, and wherever they passed, the space shook violently, as if it could shatter at any time.

"boom……"

The hearts of all the Jinxiu Banner monks on and off Tianlong Peak trembled thrice. The defense shield of the large formation burst into brilliant light and made a teeth-grinding "crack" sound. Fine cracks covered the entire defense shield, like thin ice cracked by a naughty child, which could shatter at any time.

"Hurry, hurry and ask for the ancestor!" Song Wuji shouted angrily at Song Jiyuan who was standing beside him. His face looked more ferocious and terrifying than ever before, and even his voice was a little distorted.

Song Jiyuan nodded and rushed towards the secret realm.

Although he also wanted to use this incident to bring down Song Wuji, he definitely would not do it in this way.

He had finally realized that Song Changsheng was far more powerful and arrogant than he had imagined. He actually dared to attack Tianlong Peak alone. He was simply a complete madman. Did he think that there was no Jindan Zhenren stationed at Tianlong Peak?

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He thought of a person. If he had tipped off the person, Song Changsheng would really have the confidence.

"Raising a tiger will bring disaster!" Song Jiyuan couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expose Song Shouhe and others originally in order to let Song Changsheng, the young tiger, continue to put pressure on Song Wuji from the outside so that he could profit from it.

Unexpectedly, I was wrong. This was not a young tiger at all, but clearly a hungry and ferocious tiger, which came straight to my door!

When he thought about the fact that he had deliberately leaked information to Song Shouhe before, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a dead fly.

"boom--"

At this time, another violent explosion sounded. Song Jiyuan was instantly awakened and hurried to the secret realm, only to find that the door to the secret realm had been sealed.

He could only shout for help through the [phonograph stone] outside.

I shouted several times, but there was no response.

Song Jiyuan only felt his hands and feet were cold. It seemed that Song Minghuang's previous words were not an excuse. He was really in seclusion and didn't want to care about anything outside.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. Song Minghuang's deadline is approaching, and he has finally noticed that the bottleneck has loosened. Naturally, he cannot give up this rare opportunity, and he does not want these trivial matters in the family to affect himself.

Perhaps he did not expect that the situation would change so quickly.

Originally, according to his plan, he would just hand Song Xiangjie over to the Wangyue Song family and give them some compensation and the matter would be over. Without this external threat, Song Daoling and Song Tianyuan would be in charge of internal affairs and external affairs respectively. Except for the East China Sea, the [Jinxiu Banner] would not have any major changes for at least a hundred years.

By that time, it should be clear whether he succeeds or fails.

Who would have thought that in just a few years, it would become like this.

When Song Jiyuan returned with this heavy news, the protective formation of Tianlong Peak was already crumbling under Song Changsheng's fierce attack. In addition to the big bell with strange power, he also sacrificed a precious tripod, which was filled with murderous aura and had amazing power.

All the cultivators of Tianlong Peak were mobilized by Song Wuji to maintain the stability of the formation.

From time to time, monks would vomit blood and fall to the ground.

It's not that they didn't organize a counterattack, but they seemed powerless in front of Song Changsheng. Without a fourth-rank formation master and a Jindan Zhenren in charge, they couldn't even exert one-third of the formation's power.

Song Changsheng not only has powerful strength, but is also a fourth-rank formation master. With the persistence of the [Eye of Breaking Delusion], every move of his is deadly, and he attacks the weak points of the formation. The tremendous pressure makes everyone in the [Jinxiu Flag] complain.

"【The four seas are at peace】." Song Changsheng let out a long roar, and the spirit sword in his hand spun wildly. The spiritual energy within a hundred miles was sucked away, and endless sword energy gathered. The sharpness of the spirit sword became restrained instead.

"laugh"

The sword energy was surging and the entire sky was filled with this sword. Before the sword light arrived, the monks of [Jinxiu Banner] already felt some difficulty breathing, as if a sharp blade had crossed the space and pierced into their hearts. Many low-level monks turned black and passed out.

This sword incorporates Kenshin's "heart sword" heritage. Before killing someone, one must first kill their Tao heart. It is hard to defend against, and those whose Tao heart is not strong will surely die.

The current situation was the result of Song Changsheng showing mercy, with his main focus on breaking the formation, and no intention of causing large-scale casualties among low-level cultivators. Otherwise, this sword strike would have killed at least a thousand people.

The sword light fell like a silver dragon. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The defense shield of the formation was instantly broken, and the remaining power of the sword energy continued to rush towards Song Wuji and others.

"Ugh……"

A distant sigh was heard, and the haggard Song Tianyuan appeared in mid-air. With a wave of his sleeves, he silently wiped out the sword energy.

"Cough cough..." After doing all this, Song Tianyuan coughed violently, and a streak of glaring blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Grand Elder." Song Jiyuan and others showed concern in their eyes, but Song Wuji did not dare to look directly into Song Tianyuan's eyes.

"Patriarch Song, let's stop here. With me here, you won't be able to break through the defenses of Tianlong Peak today."

Song Changsheng shook his head slightly, put away his sword and stood up, saying: "Daoyou, why do you have to gamble your life for these people?"

With the intervention of a Jindan Zhenren, the power of the formation will be exerted to more than 50%, and it is indeed unrealistic to break through it.

“There are things I should do and things I shouldn’t do. My family is my roots.

Ahem, Chief Song, please stop fighting for now and sit down and have a good talk. "

"Aren't we talking about it now?

Surrender and send hostages, these are the conditions you proposed, is this request too much?" Song Changsheng's sharp eyes swept over, and all the cultivators he saw did not dare to look at him.

"Why do you have to be so persistent, Clan Leader Song? We were wrong in the beginning. Our clan is willing to make compensation. It is too absurd for the clan leader to become a hostage. It has never happened before."

"What you said makes sense, fellow Daoist." Song Changsheng suddenly relaxed.

Before Song Wuji and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Then arrange a proton of equal status for me. Are there any of you willing to do so?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of everyone present involuntarily fell on Song Jiyuan. Among all the people present, only his identity was the most suitable.

Song Jiyuan's expression changed slightly, and he said quickly: "Grand Elder, this is Song Changsheng's conspiracy to divide the family. You must not listen to his deception. We will defend the formation and he can't do anything to us.

When the Grand Elder is free from the East Sea, the Song family kid will retreat on his own."

After these words were spoken, the monks from the Jinxiu Banner present could not help but look disappointed.

They didn't really want Song Jiyuan to be a proton, that would be a disgrace to the family.

They just hoped that in the time of family crisis, someone would be brave enough to stand up and show their loyalty to the family, but Song Jiyuan's performance disappointed them.

Not to mention Song Wuji. If looks could kill, Song Wuji would have been killed by them ten thousand times already.

"Damn it, I'm going. It's just like being a hostage. What a novelty." Song Xianghu was completely disappointed with Song Wuji and suddenly shouted.

There was a gleam of light in everyone's eyes.

It would be perfect if Song Sang-ho could be the hostage.

Song Wuji and Song Jiyuan also became active.

"Your courage is commendable, but you are not qualified." Song Changsheng glanced at him and said lightly.

"You..." Song Xianghu's face turned red, but he couldn't say anything to refute. His status was indeed incomparable to Song Wuji.

Song Tianyuan was also helpless, and his disappointment with his family grew deeper and deeper.

It is truly a tragedy for a family to have such a person as the patriarch, who has the ability to stir up trouble but lacks the skill to clean up the mess.

At this moment, he couldn't help but blame himself. If he had confronted Song Daoling at the clan meeting and removed Song Wuji's position as clan leader, perhaps there would not be today's disaster.

In the past, he always thought about the overall situation first, taking the overall interests of the family into consideration in everything.

Now it seems that his past decisions were wrong.

No matter how much he values ​​the overall situation, there will always be people who try to destroy it for their own selfish desires.

"Without destruction, there is no construction..." Song Tianyuan murmured softly. He suddenly understood why Song Minghuang turned a blind eye to all this.

The family has long been in a terminal state and cannot be changed by ordinary means. We must take up the butcher knife and impose severe punishment.

It’s a pity that he realized this truth too late.

"If you can't choose a suitable candidate, don't blame me for going on a killing spree."

Thunder surged in Song Changsheng's eyes, and a huge shadow of a lion appeared and disappeared behind him, releasing a terrifying aura.

With Song Tianyuan around, the formation was indeed not easy to break, but it was still easy to kill him.

Just when Song Tianyuan was preparing to fight to the death, a calm voice came from the top of the mountain: "Master, please put away your magical powers. I will go."
