Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Following the advice of Song Zhichu, the head of the Song family on Qinglian Island, on Tian Shu Peak, the family cultivators led by Song Zhiyu on Qingfeng Lake first settled this group of cultivators who claimed to be from the Song family of Qinghe in the north in a bamboo house on Qingfeng Lake.

Song Daoxuan, who was refining pills on Qingfeng Lake, had just finished refining the last batch of pills when he heard about this.

Song Daoxuan frowned slightly.

"The Song family of Qinghe, coming to the lake to find relatives? This is too strange. There was just a major battle between cultivators on Qingfeng Lake, and now the Song family of Qinghe has come. This is too much of a coincidence..."

"These cultivators claiming to be from the Song family of Qinghe have come to my Song family's Qingfeng Lake. Perhaps they have ill intentions? I'll go and test them!"

Thinking of this, Song Daoxuan secretly slipped away to the bamboo house where the so-called Qinghe Song family was settled, and gently knocked on the door of the head of the family, Song Xianzong.

Then, when Song Xianzong saw the man arrive, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Then, he briefly scanned Song Daoxuan with his divine sense and realized that Song Daoxuan was just a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining. A hint of contempt appeared in his eyes.

However, that hint of disdain was quickly masked by a smile.

"I heard from the elders of my clan that a group of cultivators from the Song Clan of Qinghe have come to Qingfeng Lake. I was too busy cultivating yesterday to meet them, so I have come to pay them a visit today!" Song Daoxuan said with great respect.

Song Xianzong's cultivation level was quickly revealed by Song Daoxuan's divine sense. This person was at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, which was two levels lower than Song Daoxuan's current level.

However, Song Daoxuan's divine sense probed into the bamboo houses next to Song Xianzong's house.

There were a total of fourteen Qi Refining cultivators. Among them, Song Xianzong had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and there was an old man who had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining. The remaining twelve cultivators were only at the fourth to sixth level of Qi Refining, which could be considered ordinary.

On Qingfeng Lake, apart from Song Zhiyu, whose cultivation level had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, Song Daoxuan had the highest cultivation level. There were eighteen other clan cultivators, but most of them had cultivation levels between the third and fifth levels of Qi Refining.

If the Song clan cultivators from Qinglian Island on Song Daoxuan's side were to deal with this group of cultivators, although their overall strength would be slightly greater than their opponents, they would definitely not be able to overwhelm them.

"Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. If I, Song of Qinghe, were to return to my ancestral home in the future, I would like to visit you more often!" Song Xianzong laughed heartily, appearing very friendly.

Song Daoxuan exchanged a few more polite words with Song Xianzong before leaving the place.

Just after Song Daoxuan left.

A figure echoed this sentiment in front of Song Xianzong:

"Master, is this person someone sent by the Song family of Qinglian Island to investigate our true situation...?"

The middle-aged man who identified himself as Song Xianzong snorted, "Just a mere Qi Refining Stage 4 brat. Even if Qinglian Island has some suspicions, they shouldn't be so arrogant as to send a cultivator of such low cultivation to investigate."

However, immediately after saying this, he said with a cold expression, "However, before I arrived at Qingfeng Lake, I arranged for spies near Qinglian Island. The Song family of Qinglian Island must have made a move. We will make our move tonight. Several months ago, my brother Xianhe died, and I must report everything to these Song family cultivators..."

It turns out that Song Xianzong was not this person's real name; his real name was Liu Xianzong.

He is the leader of the Burning Blood Sect in Yunmeng Prefecture. This so-called Burning Blood Sect is a force formed by a group of independent cultivators, and they have only been active in Yunmeng Prefecture in recent years.

The Blood Burning Sect wasn't particularly strong. The highest-ranking cultivator was Liu Xianzong, followed by an old man at the tenth level of Qi Refining. The remaining dozens of wandering cultivators were all around the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Several months ago, Liu Xianzhong's younger brother, Liu Xianhe, who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, led more than a dozen brothers to Qingfeng Lake.

He prepared a net to destroy the spirit fish in the spirit fish pond on Qingfeng Lake of the Song family, intending to make a fortune in spirit stones.

However, Liu Xianhe's actions were discovered by the Song clan members stationed on Qingfeng Lake, and a bloody battle ensued between the two sides.

The Song clan barely won, but suffered heavy losses, with more than half of their members being brutally killed.

It was because of this incident that Song Daoxuan and his group of cultivators rushed to the aid of Qingfeng Lake.

Liu Xianhe and Liu Xianzong were born in a time of famine and chaos. The two brothers depended on each other for survival. Their parents starved to death, and they had no brothers or sisters.

Finally, they became disciples of an old Taoist priest in the Qi Refining stage who was nearing death. Both of them were found to have spiritual roots and eventually cared for the old priest until his death, inheriting his mantle, which was not particularly wealthy.

Then the two of them practiced diligently and barely managed to reach their current cultivation level.

Later, relying on his ability to capture Gunpao in the chaotic world, he gathered a group of fellow rogue cultivators who shared the same plight and started doing the business of robbing cultivators.

Their main target was the resource points of small Foundation Establishment cultivation families like the Song family.

After all, a cultivation family that is more powerful than the Song family is not something that a Qi Refining cultivator like them can afford to offend.

However, the death of his younger brother Liu Xianhe caused Liu Xianzong to completely lose his so-called rationality.

Then Liu Xianzong produced a scroll from who-knows-where; it was the genealogy of a branch of the Song family of Qinghe, which had connections with the Song family of Qinglian Island.

This family genealogy acted as a catalyst, further intensifying Liu Xianzong's determination to go to Qingfeng Lake and, with the full strength of the Burning Blood Sect, wipe out the group of Qi Refining stage Song Clan cultivators who had killed his brother.

Song Zhiyu miscalculated this time. Although he was not sure if Liu Xianzong and his group of cultivators were from the Song family of Qinghe, he guessed that even if they had malicious intentions, they were probably after the spirit fish pond on Qingfeng Lake.

Therefore, he secretly sent most of the clan cultivators on Qingfeng Lake to keep watch at night.

In the bamboo houses on Qingfeng Lake, there were only a few scattered lights.

Song Zhiyu, however, remained in the bamboo house.

That evening, after bidding farewell to Liu Xianzong, Song Daoxuan, out of caution, went alone with one of Liu Xianzong's men and a member of the Burning Blood Cult.

He then directly attacked, using his Qi Refining Level 10 Perfection skill to kill him half to death while he was still clinging to life.

With a flick of his hand, Song Daoxuan unleashed a hazy gray light, using his soul-searching technique to search for the soul within.

Soon, Song Daoxuan's expression darkened: "This is bad! This group of people is not the so-called Qinghe Song Clan at all, but the Blood Burning Cult of Tribulations. Their target is not the spirit fish on Qingfeng Lake, but the lifespans of all the cultivators on Qingfeng Lake!"

"Oh no! Uncle Nineteen is in danger!"

Just as Song Daoxuan flew towards his nineteenth uncle's bamboo house, a surge of magical energy immediately emanated from the bamboo house.
