Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

"boom--"

The passionate collision of power made a dull explosion. The waves surged endlessly and suddenly exploded from both sides of the spirit ship. Water walls hundreds of feet high swept over with terrifying power. The spirit ship's defense formation was instantly activated, and a layer of diamond-shaped light shield appeared, covering the ship.

"Wow"

The waves on both sides rolled back like a small mountain crashing down, shaking the entire ship and causing the light shield to flicker.

"call"

Song Changsheng's figure floated backwards and landed on the mast, his robe fluttering, revealing an indescribable elegance and grace.

The colorful fish tail slammed heavily on the sea, causing a violent wave. The ship was like a small boat in the wind and rain, swaying violently. The bow was lifted up by the waves and tilted high towards the sky, nearly ninety degrees, and could capsize at any time.

"Stop!" Song Changsheng stomped his feet lightly, and the originally turbulent sea surface suddenly became calm, without any waves, and the ship that was about to be overturned also fell back into the sea surface steadily.

All this happened in a flash, and it was not until the end of this round that everyone on the boat realized what had happened.

Through the fight just now, Song Changsheng has had a clear understanding of the strength of the underwater demon king. He is a fourth-level intermediate grade, equivalent to a mid-stage Jindan cultivator. He is not very strong, but he is confident that he can fight him.

However, he felt that there was no need for that. He did not come here to fight to the death with the sea tribe, as that would only benefit the [Jinxiu Banner].

He shouted in a clear voice: "Which demon king is visiting? Why don't you show yourself?"

"crash"

A whirlpool formed in the calm sea ahead, with colorful light shining, revealing a tall woman in colorful fish-scale clothes. Her brows were filled with the majesty of a superior, and even though she had an angelic face and a devilish figure, no one would have the intention of offending her.

The most eye-catching thing is her eyes, which are like golden glass.

"Damn, the fish turned into a human." Song Youfu said in surprise.

Although it is common knowledge that the demon king can transform into human form, most people have never seen it with their own eyes. It is still very shocking when it is actually shown before one's eyes.

"Uncle, shut up." Song Jingrui quickly reminded him, this is the Demon King.

The colorfully dressed woman looked at Song Changsheng calmly and said in a cold voice, "Who are you? As far as I know, there is no such person as you in the Jinxiu Banner."

"Why does the Demon King think that I am from the Jinxiu Banner?" Seeing that the other party did not choose to attack directly, Song Changsheng became more and more certain of his inner guess.

"There is only the ship of the Jinxiu Banner in this sea area. Song Daoling doesn't dare to show up, so he sent you to be the scapegoat?" said the woman in colorful clothes in a cold voice.

“It seems that the Demon King has misunderstood something. If we really want to talk about the relationship between me and the [Jinxiu Banner], then we are enemies. This island is the bet they ceded to me.

If I'm not mistaken, the Demon King's coming here must be related to Song Daoling, right?

Let me introduce myself. My name is Song Changsheng. I come from the Da Qi cultivation world. I am here only to develop the industry and have no intention of fighting with the sea clan.

How about we keep to ourselves and coexist peacefully?" Song Changsheng said, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Song Changsheng? I have heard of your name. You defeated Song Tianyuan." The woman in colorful clothes said unexpectedly.

There was a hint of surprise in Song Changsheng's eyes. Was the news in the Daqian cultivation world spreading so fast? It seemed that it was no coincidence that he severely injured the Song Tianyuan sea clan and they made a comeback right after.

"If that's the case, then the demon king should know that what Song said is true. How about temporarily stopping the war?"

"Negotiation? That depends on whether you are qualified." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the woman in colorful clothes, and a colorful light appeared on her palm, dazzling and brilliant.

"After all the talk, we still have to fight." Song Changsheng sighed, turned his palm, and [Peace in the Four Seas] appeared in his hand, flashing a cold light under the reflection of the sunlight.

"How about we go up and fight?" Song Changsheng pointed to the blue sky above his head.

The woman in colorful clothes jumped up without saying a word. The scales on her clothes reflected a dreamy light like colorful glass.

The black and white energies flowed under Song Changsheng's feet, and his figure instantly appeared in mid-air.

"laugh"

The stream of light in the colorfully-dressed woman's hand shot out and transformed into a colorful carp in the air. There was a faint aura of dragon in the air, and it opened its bloody mouth, as if it had the power to swallow the sky and the sea.

Song Changsheng held a sword in his hand, with only the sound of surging waves in his ears and the smell of the salty air. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart.

He closed his eyes, and the world turned into darkness at this moment. The power of the sword filled his body, and the spirit sword in his hand slowly moved, like waves, one after another.

"This sword is called [Shocking Waves]."

Song Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes, and the magic sword in his hand slashed out with lightning speed. The sword energy of this sword was like the surging waves, continuous and endless, each level stronger than the last.

"laugh"

The colorful carp was ruthlessly shattered by the overlapping sword energy, and then in an instant it crossed the barrier of space and slashed towards the woman in colorful clothes.

The woman in colorful clothes only felt that all the space around her was blocked by sword energy, leaving her no room to dodge.

"crash"

With a slight movement of her fingertips, endless sea water rushed up into the sky, forming countless translucent bubbles around her.

"Boom boom"

Invisible sword energy was slashing out from various places in the void, and the sound of bubbles bursting was endless. However, when one bubble burst, more bubbles would continue to form in the air, and the sword energy was completely consumed among the densely packed bubbles.

After the fight, neither side was able to determine the winner.

The colorful-clothed woman's eyes revealed a strange color, and the fierce aura on her body gradually dissipated. She said: "You have learned swordsmanship in battle. Your understanding is really as shocking as the rumors say."

Hearing this, Song Changsheng put away his sword and stood up, smiling faintly, "Let's end this battle here. If we continue, I'm afraid it will hurt the relationship. Song has said before that we are here only to do business, not to be enemies with you.

And I have an old friend who is also from your sea tribe, but her identity is a little special, so it is not convenient to disclose it now. However, the demon king should be able to feel Song's sincerity. "

Song Changsheng told the woman in colorful clothes the last few words through telepathy.

The reason why Song Changsheng said so much was not because he thought he was no match for his opponent, but because he suddenly realized that the woman in colorful clothes in front of him was an important part of realizing his strategic plan for the East China Sea.

Judging from the partial true form that was revealed before, the woman in front of him should be the demon king of the "Colorful Scale" clan.

The "Colorful Scale" clan is a powerful clan among the sea clans. According to the intelligence received, its overall strength should not be much worse than that of the Wanxiang Palace, but it is extremely scattered and difficult to concentrate.

The main enemy of the Jinxiu Banner in the East China Sea is them. Similarly, if the Song family wants to gain a foothold in the East China Sea in the future, they will inevitably have to deal with the Cailin clan. If they can make friends with this person in front of them, it will be of great benefit to the Song family in the East China Sea in the future.

"You want to negotiate business with my tribe? Interesting, human. Don't you know the current situation? [Jinxiu Banner], Qianren City, and Ghost King Valley are all at war with my tribe. You are collaborating with the enemy.

The human race is hypocritical, selfish, and sanctimonious. Aren't you afraid of being attacked by everyone for doing such a thing?" The colorful-clothed woman said calmly.

Song Changsheng smiled and said, "Don't be so serious, Demon King. Although I am from the inland, I am also quite familiar with the things on the sea. This is not a precedent set by me. I am just imitating the actions of my predecessors.

Besides, we are not forming an alliance, we are just sharing resources and seeking common development. I believe the Demon King can understand what Song means."

"Your ambition is quite big. There are indeed some humans who trade with us privately, but do you know who they are? Not everyone is qualified to follow suit."

"Zhenhai Pavilion?" Song Changsheng suddenly said a name.

The woman in colorful clothes looked normal, but a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

"It seems that I guessed right. The Demon King doesn't need to worry about this. Since I dare to do it, I naturally have enough confidence. It depends on whether the Demon King wants to cooperate."

"Haha, since you have the courage, I will give you this opportunity." The woman in colorful clothes stretched out her jade hand and gently wiped her sleeve. A hazy light flashed, and a colorful stream of light flew in front of Song Changsheng.

Song Changsheng reached out to take it and looked at it, and found that it was a colorful scale the size of a copper coin, with a special aura lingering on it.

“When the time is right, it will guide you to find me.” The woman in colorful clothes looked up at the distant horizon, then turned into a stream of light and fell into the sea.

"I still don't know what to call the Demon King." Song Changsheng bowed.

"Liu Li."

A vague and cold voice entered Song Changsheng's ears, and then he saw a bright color swirling under the sea, causing a ripple and then disappearing.

After putting away the scales in his hand, Song Changsheng landed steadily on the sea surface. Song Youfu and others immediately surrounded him.

"Chief, why did the demon king leave?" Song Jingyuan asked in confusion.

After the fight, Song Changsheng used magic to block the surrounding space, so they didn't know what had just happened and were a little puzzled by Liuli's sudden departure.

"There is a misunderstanding here. Once it is explained, they will leave naturally." Song Changsheng explained casually, then looked at Song Zhexuan who was already sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "The nobles have prepared a very big gift for me."

Song Zhexuan's face turned pale. He knew Liuli's identity very well. She was one of the two demon kings from the "Colorful Scale" clan who participated in the counterattack of the sea clan.

According to common sense, she should be confronting Song Daoling on the front line now. How could she suddenly appear in such a remote place with little strategic value?

And they just happened to be ambushed.

How can there be so many coincidences in this world?

The only explanation is that someone deliberately leaked the news, so Liuli went against his usual practice and left the main battlefield to come here to ambush.

It is obvious who this person is, as he is able to grasp their route so accurately.

The thing that he was most worried about finally happened. It was like putting him on the fire!
"I had no prior knowledge of this matter, so please give me your opinion." Song Zhexuan was sweating profusely, fearing that Song Changsheng would use him as a scapegoat in anger.

It would be too depressing to die like this.

Song Changsheng stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and said with compassion on his face: "Don't be nervous, Elder Zhexuan. I naturally believe that you are innocent. I just want to know if you have offended someone in the clan. Do you want to use me to get rid of you?"

His words were like sharp knives, constantly stabbing into Song Zhexuan's heart.

He believed that he had never offended anyone in the clan, did not form cliques or engage in personal gain, and was dedicated to the public. He did everything in the interest of the family without any complaints or regrets, but he did not expect to end up like this. It was really heartbreaking.

Little did he know that it was precisely because of this that he eventually became a victim, because he had no backing, no accomplices, and was just a good guy.

To sum up, good people deserve to have guns pointed at them.

"Elder Zhexuan, you and I have had many contacts. I trust you as a person. But if it were someone else, I couldn't say for sure. You must be more careful in the future." Song Changsheng said earnestly.

"You are so magnanimous, I am ashamed."

Although he was not held accountable, he felt even more heavy-hearted.

The ones who abandoned and framed him were his own people, while the ones who let bygones be bygones were actually his enemies.

"Elder Zhexuan, have a good rest. I will have some questions for you after we get to the island."

Song Zhexuan walked into the cabin in a daze. After he left, Song Jingyuan couldn't help but complain, "Patriarch, you are too lenient with him. Even if he doesn't know, you have to control him first."

"Haha, it's rare for you to use your brain to think about a problem. Now that you have, think carefully about why I am doing this." Song Changsheng tapped his temple lightly, then looked at Song Changxuan and others and said:

"After landing, my clan brother will take people to survey all the resource points on the island and register them. We must pay special attention to checking the spiritual veins to prevent any tampering.

Tiangongtang is responsible for inspecting the port and warships. They must conduct a thorough investigation. I don't trust them."

"Yes, sir." Everyone obeyed the order. They also did not have any trust in the [Jinxiu Banner].

Song Youfu smacked his lips and said, "Song Daoling, that old fellow is really ruthless. He just threw out a Purple Mansion Great Perfection cultivator like that."

"Haha, that's because Song Daoling has calculated this account very clearly.

If the clan leader wins, then the [Jinxiu Banner] will reduce a major threat on the front battlefield, and it can also draw the attention of the sea clan to us, killing two birds with one stone.

If the demon king wins, even if the clan leader can escape, we will most likely be eaten by the fish, which can greatly weaken the power of the clan, which is also what they are happy to see.

In comparison, what does sacrificing one Song Zhexuan matter?
If the clan leader really wanted to kill him, maybe it would unite the entire Jinxiu Banner against the enemy, after all, his prestige was extremely high.

But he didn't expect that the demon king had no intention of fighting to the death with us, and he didn't know what his expression would be after hearing the news. "Song Jingrui said with a sneer.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they get more shameless as they get older, but it somehow seems reasonable when it happens to them." Song Youfu shook his head.

"Okay, let's get ready to land on the island."
