Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Within the Azure Lotus Islands, at the Hanging Cloud Formation.

Song Hongdong was extremely weak and covered in blood. The Song family cultivators quickly stepped forward to help him up and fed him healing and qi-replenishing pills.

Seeing that he had recovered some of his energy, Song Zhichu, the head of the Song family, then ordered someone to arrange for him to recuperate in another place.

As for the upcoming battle, Song Hongdong was unable to participate. He suffered a blow from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and it was fortunate that he survived.

Song Daoxuan and the others were just lucky; they were close to the formation and were able to escape quickly.

"Everyone, the Cloud-Piercing Formation won't last much longer. The two races outside are attacking it together. At this rate, it will be broken in a day at most. So take this opportunity to heal your wounds and recover. If we miss this chance, it will just be another bloody battle..." Song Zhichu said, a hint of fatigue showing on his face.

Upon hearing the words of the Song family patriarch, all the family cultivators present nodded. Having experienced a battle, some of the more fastidious ones, especially the women like Song Hongshu, disregarded their fastidiousness and immediately lay down cross-legged on the spot to begin their recovery.

At this very moment, outside the grand formation, the blue-robed cultivator from the Xiang clan hovered in mid-air, staring intently at the formation before him: "A mere second-tier giant formation. Once this formation is broken, the Qinglian Song clan before me can be annihilated with a flick of the finger!"

Xiang Shi watched as the cultivators from both races continuously unleashed various spells to attack the magic array, while he stood with his hands behind his back, a look of complete satisfaction on his face.

The cultivators from both clans were immediately enraged when they saw Xiang Shi's appearance.

"Heh, this person is quite comfortable. If he had made his move sooner, our two races' cultivators might not have suffered these losses..."

"I think this person is doing it on purpose; he just wants to see our two families suffer huge losses..."

While Gu Jingnian and Wang Zhengchun, the heads of the two clans, were using magic to destroy the great formation, they were also communicating with each other through their spiritual senses, expressing their grievances.

"So be it. If our two clans want to destroy the Qinglian Song Clan, we will still need to rely on this person..." Gu Jingnian sighed, and then increased the intensity of his spell.

Song Daoxuan, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, sat cross-legged.

For some reason, he felt a tremor in his sea of ​​consciousness. He calmed his mind and found that the Qi Gourd, which was always connected to his life, actually reacted at this moment.

A transparent thread was immediately drawn from the Qi Gourd. Only Song Daoxuan could perceive this thread, which pointed towards a person outside the formation—a powerful late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed in blue robes.

It's extremely rare for the Qi-Gathering Gourd to produce a reaction.

The last time it reacted was when Song Daoxuan found that inconspicuous piece of green copper in the ruins of Yuanqing Cave, relying on the sensing of the Qi Gourd.

The so-called green-haired copper sheet is no ordinary object.

It turned out to be a handwritten alchemy manual by Yuan Qing Sanren from several hundred years ago, which recorded many modern alchemical formulas as well as ancient ones.

This time, the gourd's reaction was completely different from the previous one; it was a feeling of being connected by fate.

"The Qi Gathering Gourd I possess is not without flaws. Could it be that the remaining part of the Qi Gourd is on that blue-robed cultivator outside?"

Song Daoxuan guessed that the blue-robed cultivator outside probably had something on him that was related to the Qi Gathering Immortal Gourd. The Qi Gathering Immortal Gourd had just released a fateful attraction, tempting him to fight the blue-robed cultivator outside.

But Song Daoxuan wasn't stupid. He was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Even if he used all his current methods, he would probably have a hard time dealing with the late-Foundation Establishment cultivators outside.

"If the great formation breaks tomorrow, my Qinglian Song Clan will surely perish. No, I cannot sit idly by and wait for death. I must find a way to break this deadlock!"

Song Daoxuan closed his eyes, his mind racing with thoughts. After a moment of contemplation, he finally turned his gaze to Song Zhichu, the head of the Song family, in the crowd.

"Patriarch, is there any way to deal with this late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator outside the great formation...?"

At this point, Song Zhichu heard Song Daoxuan's telepathic message and did not hide anything: "To be honest, I am not confident in killing this fiend. However, if I burn my lifespan, the odds of defeating this fiend are only fifty-fifty. With me holding this great Qinglian Song Clan together, there is absolutely no reason for it to collapse."

He underwent major cultivation in the late Foundation Establishment stage, cultivated a primordial spirit, and his magical power was incomparable to that of ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators.

For a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator to kill a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator is simply wishful thinking.

When Song Daoxuan heard Song Zhichu say that he was evenly matched with this person, he was stunned for a moment and still felt it was unbelievable afterwards.

Whether Song Zhichu was arrogant or truly capable, Song Daoxuan did not know.

Song Daoxuan then spoke with the family head, Song Zhichu, and revealed his plan.

"The Wang and Gu clans dared to invade my Song clan, sending a large number of cultivators to my Qinglian Islands. Since there is still some time before the great formation is broken, we might as well teach their heartland a painful lesson!"

Upon hearing Song Daoxuan's plan, Song Zhichu couldn't help but feel a strange look towards Song Daoxuan.

"What a ruthless tactic! But it works. Leave the Azure Lotus Islands to me. Show up quickly, or it'll be bad if they react!"

Although Song Zhichu claimed that he could fight a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in blue robes with a 50/50 chance of winning, Song Daoxuan didn't quite believe it.

After a moment's thought, he took out a talisman-shaped treasure from his storage bag, along with the low-grade spiritual weapon Purple Lightning Sword in his hand, and handed it to Song Zhichu.

This ancient, talisman-shaped treasure is none other than the Five Thunder Dao Talisman Treasure. Even if it is incomplete, if it can unleash its full power, it would be no problem to kill a Foundation Establishment Perfected Immortal Cultivator.

However, the Five Thunder Dao Talisman has a long recovery time, and as the cultivator's strength increases, it becomes extremely difficult to hit and is easily dodged by the opponent.

When Song Daoxuan obtained the remnant of the Five Thunder Dao Talisman, he only had two chances left. During the beast tide in Yunling, Song Daoxuan had no choice but to use up one chance in order to protect himself.

This last remaining opportunity was one that Song Daoxuan usually wouldn't use unless absolutely necessary. However, now that the survival of his family was at stake, he really didn't want his stinginess to lead to the destruction of the entire family.

Although he had no interest in family affairs and only wanted to achieve immortality, if his family were to be destroyed, he would be nothing more than a lonely figure in the cultivation world, how desolate he would be.
