Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

A calm and slightly indifferent voice drifted down from the top of the mountain, and the originally noisy Tianlong Peak suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes turned in the direction where the voice came from.

His face was as white as jade, his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright. He was dressed in a white robe as white as snow. He kept floating up and down in the sea of ​​clouds. There was no fear on the face of the visitor, only a calmness as dead water.

"It's the guardian elder." Someone exclaimed, revealing the identity of the visitor.

"Yuqing?" Song Tianyuan's heart trembled involuntarily.

"Grand Elder." Song Yuqing held the fan and bowed respectfully, then looked at Song Wuji, Song Jiyuan and others who were avoiding his gaze and said calmly: "You all don't have to argue, I'll go."

"Guardian Elder, we can't do that." All the elders of the Jinxiu Banner were horrified. After Song Mu was disabled, Song Yuqing was the most promising candidate for the Jinxiu Banner to break through the Jindan stage in the next hundred years. If he became a proton, his future and the future of the Jinxiu Banner would be ruined.

"Please think twice, elder."

"Please think twice, Elder Protector!"

The disciples and deacons around all knelt down and petitioned in unison. It was a rare moment of unity among the Jinxiu Banner over the past hundred years.

"Yuqing, you shouldn't be held responsible for the mistakes made by the family. This is all my fault.

"Step back and let me fight him. Even if I kill this broken body, I will not let him step into Tianlong Peak." Song Tianyuan said in a deep voice.

Although Song Yuqing's talent is not as good as Song Muchang's, he has always valued Song Yuqing more. His character is destined to go further than Song Muchang. All he needs is some time.

If Song Yuqing really had to be the hostage, he might as well give it a final try. Now he was like a candle in the wind, and his soul might die at any time. It was worth it to exchange his life for Song Yuqing no matter how he looked at it.

Unexpectedly, Song Yuqing shook his head and said, "If this is true, Tianlong Peak will probably be flooded with blood today.

Don't make any more meaningless sacrifices. I, Song Yuqing, will sacrifice the safety of you and thousands of people in your clan. It's worth it."

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. For a moment, endless humiliation and grief surged in their hearts.

The little bit of family honor that was left was shattered at this moment.

It has been so many years since they last suffered such humiliation!

Endless anger is brewing, and it is terribly suppressed.

"Fight!" A monk from the [Jinxiu Banner] roared unwillingly. He struggled to straighten his chest under the powerful pressure from Song Changsheng, not hiding the anger in his eyes at all.

"Fight to the death!" There were responses from all directions, with unyielding pride.

Never give up and never surrender, this is the roar of the Song ancestors after they worked hard to create a new world for themselves, and this is also the characteristic of the Song family.

I just don’t know when they lost their courage and actually bowed to the enemy’s tyranny and compromised.

When he heard the roar, Song Changsheng couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment. At that moment, he seemed to see the Song family members who died in battles of all sizes.

That's how they shouted and roared, and sacrificed their lives to protect their family.

It is because of them that the Wangyue Song family has been able to reach this point today.

In a city with ten houses, there must be loyalty.

Even if a building is about to collapse, there will still be people who will risk their lives to hold it up, even if it is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

It’s a pity that there are too few such people, so few that you can hardly see them in the vast crowd.

Looking around, there is only escape, fear, indifference, and silence...

None of the elders who were usually high and mighty dared to stand up.

The few voices seeking battle seemed a little harsh at this moment.

Even if we are enemies, we can't help but feel sad when we see this scene, and feel it's not worth it for them.

"It is truly an insult to our ancestors to have people like you offer sacrifices to us."

Song Changsheng murmured softly, slowly raised his right hand, thunder surged in his palm, the image of the Suanni behind him became more and more solid, and the sky seemed to dim.

The breath of destruction filled the air, and Tianlong Peak was suddenly in chaos.

"Master, please put away your magical powers. I will go with you. My identity should meet your requirements." Song Yuqing shouted loudly.

"Are you Song Yuqing?"

"Exactly."

"It is just as our clan's guardian elder said, he is handsome and has an extraordinary bearing.

You are very good, a rare talent.

With your talent, your future achievements are limitless. If it is you, I can indeed consider it.

But, are you really willing to give up your own future to save Song Wuji from disaster?" Song Changsheng's palm was thundering, and his voice was like a bell.

"How can the head of a clan be a hostage to others?" Song Yuqing's expression remained unchanged and he answered Song Changsheng's question concisely.

Song Changsheng did not comment, but slowly dispersed the Suanni magic image behind him, looked at Song Wuji who was hiding behind Song Tianyuan, and said with a mocking look: "You should really be thankful that you are the patriarch, these loyal people are willing to protect you at the risk of their lives.

If I were you, I would stand up and fight. Even if I die, it is better than hiding behind and watching my people bleed.

I’ll give you one last chance, get out of here!”

Hearing this angry shout, Song Wuji's body trembled slightly, and he retorted loudly: "Zifu Zhan Jindan, do you think I am a three-year-old child? You don't want protons at all, you want to use this to take my life.

You are taking revenge on me on behalf of Song Lu Ke.

Forget about it, I will never fall for your evil scheme!"

It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. He knew that as long as he took the lead in the charge, he would be able to mobilize the fighting spirit of most of the tribesmen.

If he fell on the way to charge, he would be able to erase the mistakes he made in the past and make the whole clan united and share the same hatred for the enemy.

But he is not Song Tianyuan, nor is he Song Yuqing or the brainless Song Xianghu. Staying alive is the most important thing for him. He has done so much and worked tirelessly against the Wangyue Song family. Ultimately, it is all to eliminate the threat.

Let him die now, sorry, he's not that noble.

"Song Wuji, you are really unworthy of being the clan leader!" An elder of the [Jinxiu Banner] clan with white hair and beard stood up like a ferocious beast waiting to devour its prey. He wished he could rush up and tear Song Wuji into pieces right now, but was stopped by a clan member nearby. In the end, he vomited blood and died.

In an instant, there was an uproar on Tianlong Peak.

A cultivator who had reached the great perfection of the foundation building stage was actually angered to death.

Although this elder of the clan had a low level of cultivation, his seniority was higher than Song Wuji. He had lived for more than three hundred years, but now he had collapsed here.

For a time, there was an endless stream of condemnations against Song Wuji, and everyone at this moment became the embodiment of family justice.

"Enough!" Song Yuqing shouted suddenly, and the entire Tianlong Peak fell silent.

He walked slowly to the old man, looked at his wide-open eyes and the shocking blood on his clothes, and he could only feel his heart twitching and bleeding.

The faces of the people around him made him feel even more heartbroken. He had completely seen through this family.

He stretched out his hand and tried to close the elder's eyes. It took him three attempts before he succeeded.

He stood up slowly, looked at Song Changsheng, and said with an unprecedented firmness: "I'll go with you."

"Well, then it's you." Song Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly felt that taking Song Wuji away would actually help the Jinxiu Banner to restore order, while keeping him would allow him to play a more important role.

In addition, he really appreciated Song Yuqing's talent. It was a pity that she was a piece of unpolished jade, but it was soaked in smelly mud.

"Yuqing." Song Tianyuan's chest heaved violently, and his hands trembled slightly.

“Grand Elder, everyone in the family today is pursuing their own interests. This is a disease that has penetrated deep into the bones. We must be ruthless and completely eradicate it in order to regain vitality.

Both the old ancestor and the old ancestor Dao Ling are not trustworthy. Only you can save the collapsing empire.

The family can live without me, Song Yuqing, but not without you.

Therefore, please take care of yourself and take this opportunity to set things right and save the family from disaster." Song Yuqing said this to Song Tianyuan alone, without letting any third party know, because in his eyes, these people were not trustworthy.

After saying that, he took off the elder badge from his waist and handed it to Song Tianyuan, bowed to the ground, and then strode towards Song Changsheng.

Looking at his desolate back, Song Tianyuan's eyes were filled with tears, but he did not say a word to stop him. He could not let Song Yuqing's efforts go to waste.

As he said, he is the only one who can save the family now. It is easy to fight with Song Changsheng, but where is the future of the family?
"Farewell, Elder Protector!"

Some monks from the Jinxiu Banner fell to the ground and cried bitterly. At this moment, they felt that their family was finished, completely finished, and there was no light at all in the future.

"You are quite courageous. Aren't you afraid that I will take your life just like Song Wuji said?" Song Changsheng said calmly as he looked at Song Yuqing who walked out of the defensive formation.

Song Yuqing's expression remained unchanged. She did not directly answer Song Changsheng's question. Instead, she bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Master, for showing mercy just now."

Anyone with some experience in Taoism could see that Song Changsheng had shown mercy in his previous attack, otherwise Tianlong Peak would have been littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

This shows that Song Changsheng still cares about the friendship between the two clansmen and is unwilling to target members of different clans.

But people's patience is limited. He is not naive enough to think that Song Changsheng dare not start a killing spree. The best outcome is to step forward early to stop the war.

"You see clearly. Stand behind me and I will take you away when this matter is over."

Song Yuqing's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he said in a deep voice: "Is the Master going to go back on his word?"

"I am not Song Wuji, and I cannot do such a thing as going back on my word. Apart from the hostage, there is another clause in the original contract that has not been fulfilled." Song Changsheng's eyes were slightly cold. Now that he had come here, he would not give up halfway. He wanted to shatter the remaining pride of the [Jinxiu Banner].

Song Tianyuan naturally knew what he was referring to, and said in a deep voice: "That is absolutely impossible, but my clan is willing to give sufficient compensation."

At this time, Song Zhexuan finally broke free from the restriction set by Song Changsheng, and said quickly: "Yes, the real person has already seen the previous list. As long as the real person nods, it can be delivered now.

If there is anything you are not satisfied with, you can talk about it.”

Hearing this, Song Changsheng pondered in silence. He seemed to be thinking, but in fact he was estimating the time in his heart.

The reason why they were able to achieve such brilliant results was entirely because Song Daoling was not there, catching the Jinxiu Banner side off guard.

Upon learning of the drastic changes within the tribe, Song Daoling rushed back as soon as possible after dealing with the sea tribe.

Therefore, he must achieve his goal before Song Daoling returns to Tianlong Peak.

"It can't be delayed any longer."

Thinking of this, Song Changsheng raised his head and said loudly: "Okay, then follow the compensation on the list, but that's not enough, I have another condition."

"Please speak." Song Tianyuan said in a deep voice. "I want you to publicly acknowledge that Wangyue's lineage is the legitimate family lineage. You can build a ancestral temple and set up ancestral tablets. From now on, you can worship your ancestors separately and have nothing to do with each other.

As long as you can admit this, I will leave immediately." Song Changsheng said expressionlessly.

"What, this is impossible!"

"Grand Elder, this is against etiquette and I cannot agree to it."

"Yes, it's absolutely ridiculous. How can there be two orthodoxies in the world?"

As soon as Song Changsheng finished speaking, all the elders of the main lineage were furious. You Wangyue lineage is the orthodox lineage, so what are we?
But apart from them, the elders from other branches, led by Song Shouhe, kept silent and did not express any opinions.

For them, it doesn't matter whether the Jinxiu Banner or the Wangyue lineage is orthodox. Anyway, it is not something they can interfere with. They will just follow whoever has the greater power and watch the show.

Perhaps they would not have had such thoughts a hundred years ago, but over the years, Song Wuji's actions have been extremely unpopular, and he made many stupid moves in dealing with the Wangyue Song family, which made them completely see through the weakness of the Jinxiu Banner.

The ship is no longer as strong as it used to be, and now that there is a second option, it may not be a bad thing for them.

Song Tianyuan was also a little hesitant. Such a thing was unheard of. If he really did it, he would not only become a laughing stock of the world, but would also shake the family's rule and authority.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Song Changsheng said coldly: "Perhaps you haven't figured out one thing. I am informing you, not asking you.

Regardless of whether you agree or not, I will announce it to the world, and letting you announce it is to give you some face, so don't make the mistake."

"Forget it, let's do as he says." Song Tianyuan shook his head.

It has come to this point. What's the point of insisting on this? It's good enough that you don't ask for submission. It's all your own fault and you have to bear the consequences with tears.

Although Song Wuji was unwilling, he did not dare to argue. He only wanted to get rid of Song Changsheng, the plague god, as soon as possible.

He ordered someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote an article as quickly as possible. He said with a gloomy expression: "The Wangyue lineage is the legitimate lineage of the Song family. It will be announced to the world soon!"

After saying that, he used his magic power to send the notice in his hand to Song Changsheng.

Song Changsheng checked it and found nothing wrong with it, then put it away.

From then on, although the Wangyue Song family and the Jinxiu Banner worshipped the same ancestor, they no longer had any relationship from a legal point of view and were completely separated.

The people of [Jinxiu Banner] no longer have the confidence to regard themselves as the main branch in front of them.

"Zhexuan, give the things to him." Song Tianyuan said in a deep voice.

With a dejected look, Song Zhexuan took out a storage bag from his sleeve and handed it to Song Changsheng. Inside was the compensation listed on the list, namely a top-grade spirit stone, three top-grade magic weapons, half a year's output from ten thousand acres of Fire Cloud Mulberry Field, five pairs of [Red-bellied Unicorn Silkworms], and a deed to an island with a third-level spirit vein.

After paying the compensation twice, even though Jinxiu Banner was wealthy, it couldn't help but feel a little painful.

"Now that the matter is settled, fellow Daoist, shouldn't you return our clan's elders?" Song Tianyuan said, suppressing his anger.

"Of course." Song Changsheng waved his sleeves and let Song Zhexuan go back.

The benefits were already in hand, but Song Changsheng was still reluctant to leave. As he did not move, Song Tianyuan and others did not dare to act rashly. They confronted him nervously, fearing that he would go back on his word.

In fact, they were just worrying too much. If Song Changsheng was sure he could severely injure them, he would have done it long ago and would not have talked so much to them.

The strength of [Jinxiu Banner] is unquestionable. If Song Tianyuan really fights with him, it will be difficult for him to escape unscathed, and the loss will outweigh the gain.

The reason why he didn't leave was because he was waiting for someone.

Judging by the time, it should be about the same.

really.

He didn't have to wait too long before a terrifying force emanated from the depths of Tianlong Peak, shaking the entire mountain protection shield.

"Song Changsheng, are you bullying my clan's people?"

Song Daoling's voice was like thunder, like an angry lion. In an instant, he crossed the barrier of space and suddenly punched Song Changsheng in the face.

This punch came with incredible speed and contained the [Law of Force]. Wherever it went, the air exploded with a sharp explosion and even the space was distorted.

Song Changsheng could even clearly smell the blood on his fist.

He was not in a hurry. He first protected Song Yuqing behind him, and at the same time mobilized the energy and blood in his body and punched out as well.

This punch was a fusion of the [Law of Thunder] and the [Law of Strength]. The fierce thunder was wrapped around his arms, as if he was holding the thunder from the sky, making him unparalleled in his power.

"boom--"

When the two fists collided, the space was like fragile glass, shattered into pieces by the two huge forces, revealing the colorful void.

Two tall figures flew backwards at the same time.

Song Daoling landed gracefully on Tianlong Peak. His fists were charred black and covered with traces of raging thunder. There was also an unruly thunder running rampant in his body. He quickly used his magic power to suppress it.

Compared to his skin injuries, Song Changsheng did not feel so well. The blood and qi in his body were surging, and his internal organs were slightly shifted. A mouthful of blood rushed up to his throat, but he suppressed it.

Song Daoling's cultivation in the late Jindan period should not be underestimated. In the [Law of Force], he has already entered the realm of great success. However, he suffered a small loss in the fight.

Fortunately, with the help of the [Law of Life], the body quickly returned to normal.

Although he suffered a loss, his face remained calm and you couldn't tell that he was injured at all.

Seeing this, Song Daoling was extremely surprised. He didn't even get to know Song Changsheng's bottom line after the fight just now. Song Changsheng was as deep as an abyss or a pond, unfathomable. Was this guy really only at the initial stage of Golden Core cultivation?

Song Wuji and others almost dropped their jaws in shock. In the path of cultivation, each realm has its own level. Sometimes a small realm can be an insurmountable chasm.

Who would believe a cultivator in the early Jindan period who could withstand a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the late Jindan period head-on and act like nothing happened in the end?
"Could he really be the legendary genius that is hard to come by in a million years?" The expression on Song Tianyuan's face changed rapidly, and his dissatisfaction with Song Wuji and others became stronger and stronger.

"It's the late stage of Jindan, nothing more than that." Song Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly.

"Hmph, you are playing tricks. Since you dare to invade my clan's territory, I will make sure you stay here forever today!" Song Daoling turned his palm, and the surrounding spiritual energy gathered madly, and the sounds of tiger roars and dragon roars could be heard faintly.

"Haha, I'm not in the mood to waste time here with you. I've taken him away. If you don't care about his life or death, just come and chase him!"

Song Changsheng sneered, reached out and grabbed Song Yuqing's arm, and as the yin and yang energies gathered and dispersed, the figures of the two disappeared without leaving even a trace.

Song Daoling wanted to chase after her, but he was worried about Song Yuqing's safety. After thinking it over, he decided to give up. He looked in the direction of the Wanxiang Palace and sighed.

"Grand Elder, we must eradicate the roots!" Song Wuji said gritting his teeth. He felt uneasy knowing that Song Changsheng was immortal.

It would have been fine if he didn't speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, Song Daoling felt endless anger gathering in his chest. He raised his hand and slapped Song Wuji in the face.

"Snapped"

Song Wuji was blown away and hit the stone wall heavily. Half of his face was swollen and five finger marks appeared clearly on his cheek, which was burning with pain.

Seeing this, everyone present had a stern look on their faces. It was the first time in nearly a thousand years that the clan leader was beaten in public. They could clearly feel the anger in Song Daoling's heart that had risen to the extreme.

"It's all your fault!" Song Daoling shouted angrily, his face distorted with anger.

Song Wuji stood up silently, covering his face with his hands. He lowered his head, his face as gloomy as water, but he did not dare to refute at all. He looked like he was listening to the lecture with his ears drooping.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it in private, cough cough cough..." Song Tianyuan still couldn't sit idly by and stretched out his hand to protect Song Wuji.

After all, he is the head of the clan. Even if he has made a huge mistake, he cannot be treated so mercilessly in front of thousands of clan members. Doing so will ultimately weaken the prestige of the family management.

Moreover, there was something he kept in his heart and didn't say. If it weren't for Song Daoling's unremitting support, how could Song Wuji have such courage?
Song Daoling was determined to make Song Wuji take all the blame, and said in a deep voice: "Humph! In my opinion, Song Wuji is no longer suitable to continue to serve as the clan leader. He should be dismissed and repent, and a new clan leader should be selected to continue to lead the family. Who agrees and who opposes?"

For a moment, the whole audience was silent, and then slowly some people began to muster up the courage to raise their hands. Soon, more and more people raised their hands, and they were all ordinary members of the Jinxiu Banner.

Over the years, Song Wuji's actions had already accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts. Song Yuqing's stepping forward became the fuse that ignited this emotion. All the accumulated things in the past broke out at this moment.

At this moment, Song Wuji was no longer the high and mighty head of the family, but the sinner of the family, being pointed at and cursed by thousands of people.

Song Jiyuan, who had been silent on the side, saw that the time was almost right, and brought the elders under his command to support Song Daoling.

Next came the neutral faction headed by Song Zhexuan, the side branch headed by Song Shouhe, and finally even the elders who supported Song Wuji began the "just division."

At this time, Song Wuji finally tasted the feeling of being deserted by everyone.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh and his teeth trembled.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he laughed miserably, reached out to take out his clan leader badge, threw it on the ground and said: "From today on, I will resign as clan leader and punish myself by facing the wall in the mountains for a hundred years!"

He raised his head and glanced around, engraving the faces of all the people who raised their hands deeply into his mind, then turned and left.

"Humph!" Song Daoling snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to pick up the waist badge on the ground, looked at the elders and said: "Hold a clan meeting as soon as possible to elect a new clan leader."

All the elders agreed.

Song Daoling turned to look at Song Tianyuan, his expression slightly relieved: "The Cailin clan is coming with great force, I only repelled them temporarily, I need to rush back to the East China Sea as soon as possible.

You still need to take care of the family, and you need to recover as soon as possible."

What he did was actually equivalent to handing over the family power that he had worked so hard to monopolize. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had no choice.

The situation in the East China Sea is serious. If Song Tianyuan goes there in his current state, he will only die. He has to go there in person.

Otherwise, it would be equivalent to directly giving up the vast territory on the East China Sea, which is absolutely intolerable. Without the supply of resources from the East China Sea, the entire Jinxiu Banner clan would have to tighten their belts and live, and being overtaken is only a matter of time.

"Hehe, I know." Song Tianyuan nodded. No matter what grudges the two had before, they needed to be united at this moment and work together to face the next challenges.

Just as the [Jinxiu Banner] was in full swing in electing a new clan leader, Song Changsheng's actions at Tianlong Peak had already been spread throughout the entire Daqian cultivation world by people with ulterior motives.

Song Changsheng's invincible demeanor that overwhelms his entire clan has become the most discussed topic in the Daqian cultivation world in recent years.

Correspondingly, [Jinxiu Banner] became a clown under the halo of the protagonist. It was foreseeable that the prestige that had taken nearly ten thousand years to build would be destroyed in one day.

The most crucial thing is that the weakest side of [Jinxiu Banner] was exposed to the world, and many forces began to stir. The fat piece of meat [Jinxiu Banner] was too tempting.

It can be predicted that the [Jinxiu Banner] will soon face the greatest challenge since the defeat in the East China Sea...

"You mean, he almost broke into Tianlong Peak and escaped unscathed after fighting with Song Daoling?" Yi Tianzheng looked at Jianxin who came to report and said with interest.

"Yes, although the two of them only fought once, there was no clear winner."

"Hahaha, uncle-master, what did I say? This boy has endless potential." Yi Tianzheng looked at Lei Kanze standing aside and laughed.

"You are right, the hope of winning the championship lies with this boy!"

……

ps: Happy Dragon Boat Festival to all fellow Taoists. I am still presenting you with a long chapter of 7,000 words, but I am currently short of 4,000 words.

Do you eat zongzi sweet or salty? The zongzi with candied dates I ate at noon and the zongzi with bacon I ate at night were both pretty good. (End of this chapter)
