Yunmeng Immortal Clan

After resolving the matter of the Black Shark Gang in Liuyang City, Song Daoxuan, dressed in a blue Taoist robe and wearing a bamboo hat and mask, flew back to the Qinglian Islands on his sword.

Before leaving Liuyang City, Song Daoxuan sent a message to Yun Sushu with his divine sense. The message was roughly that he had come to her rescue because he was grateful for her help in refining the Ink Spirit Bamboo Flying Sword.

Several days later, a story was circulating throughout Yunmeng Immortal Continent: a Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed in a blue Daoist robe single-handedly annihilated the powerful Black Shark Gang in Liuyang County. No mortal or cultivator survived, and the vast Black Shark Gang's estate was reduced to ashes, with the flames burning for three days and three nights.

According to eyewitnesses, this green-robed cultivator used his silk net technique to completely surround the Black Shark Gang, and not a single Black Shark Gang cultivator managed to escape. This method made nearby cultivators tremble with fear, and from then on, the term "green-robed demonic cultivator" gradually established its foundation in the cultivation world of Dali.

After Song Daoxuan returned to Qinglian Island to cultivate for a few days, Yun Sushu and Zhang Ping couldn't wait to hold their wedding banquet. Although Song Daoxuan didn't know about the banquet at the time, he later found out that a bottle of pills had inexplicably appeared in Yun Sushu's weapon-refining shop.

After receiving the bottle of pills, Yun Sushu, with her intelligent nature, guessed that it was given to her by Song Daoxuan. From then on, Yun Sushu and her family always remembered this kindness.

Three years have passed.

Since the last time on the banks of the Qingjiang River, when the giant Zhuxi Sect joined forces with the cultivation forces of the two immortal continents to wipe out all the demons in the Yunling Mountains, these cultivation forces have been taking stock of the points they have earned in the recruitment orders on the battlefield.

The points recorded on the summoning order are only automatically entered into the summoning order after the cultivator kills the demon beast. If the cultivator only injures the demon beast but does not kill it completely, then no points will be recorded in the summoning order.

Song Daoxuan's unintentional act of killing the third-tier demon beast with the Five Thunder Dao Talisman successfully caused the Song Clan of Qinglian Island to experience a significant surge in their recruitment points.

Such achievements made the Song Clan of the Azure Lotus Islands achieve an unprecedented first place among the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan during that great battle.

However, the Song clan cultivators were unaware of Song Daoxuan's actions, since Song Daoxuan had secretly left after using the Five Thunder Dao Talisman to kill the Azure Cloud Flood Dragon.

When Song Zhichu was observing the Song family's conscription order, he was somewhat bewildered by the sudden surge in points.

The Song family head first asked Song Hongshu, who shook her head in denial. Faced with such an inconceivable thing, Song Zhichu preferred to believe that it was the work of Song Hongshu and the deceased Song Zhiya.

After all, these two people had been at the Foundation Establishment stage for a long time, and the spiritual power they had accumulated should, in theory, be much stronger than Song Daoxuan, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

Just after Song Hongshu denied the matter, Song Zhichu still asked Song Daoxuan as usual whether the extra points in the conscription order were related to him. Song Daoxuan was also taken aback and did not claim the extra points as his own.

Later, the matter was simply dropped.

The Song family of Qinglian Island benefited greatly from this. Song Zhichu's divine sense penetrated into the summons and discovered that the accumulated points of the Song family of Qinglian Island were just enough to exchange for a top-tier first-level resource point - a vein of Crimson Flame Crystal.

Song Zhichu did not hesitate to exchange for this spiritual vein and sent people to guard the place.

From then on, in addition to the hundred acres of spiritual fields, Qingfeng Lake fishpond, Qingwu Town Qingwu Mine, and Yunmeng Market herb shop, Qinglian Island gained another place: Crimson Flame Crystal.

While the addition of a resource point was undoubtedly a cause for celebration for the entire Song Clan of Qinglian Island, the losses suffered by the Song Clan in this great battle were immense. Not only did they lose a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator like Song Zhiya, but they also lost more than half of their hundred Qi Refining cultivators.

Fortunately, the other major cultivation families in Yunmeng Immortal Continent also suffered significant manpower losses.

Among the seven Foundation Establishment Immortal Clans, the Mu Clan suffered the least damage.

The Mu Clan had already experienced a small-scale beast tide before this one. Afterwards, the Black Mountain Gu Clan and the Wang Clan fought over two major resource points, severely weakening them. Knowing this, the Zhuxi Sect ensured that the Mu Clan had the fewest members participating in the battle, resulting in the fewest casualties after the war.

The Gu and Wang families occupy the Fire Toad Pool and Cold Smoke Valley, two major cultivation resource points. However, after this battle, these two cultivation families have temporarily ceased their actions, and the entire Yunmeng cultivation world has become more peaceful and stable.

The Mu clan also had a chance to recuperate, but now, as a vassal family of the Song clan, the Mu clan wanted to rely on the Song clan's strength to resist the war between the Gu and Wang clans.

At this very moment, on the Qinglian Islands, the incident involving Elder Song Hongxiang of Qingwu Town occurred. The Song family head had discussed this matter many times and discovered some problems within the family. If Song Hongxiang had not embezzled the spirit stones from the Qingwu mines, he would not have felt any regret. However, he was then possessed by the Blood Wrath Maha residing within the ancient Buddha, and thus gradually fell into an endless abyss.

The fact that Song Hongxiang embezzled the family's spirit stones means that among the hundreds of people in the Song family, there are others who are also embezzling. Even if we exclude these cultivators, there must be some among the millions of ordinary people in the Song family who are also embezzling.

The Song family is as prosperous as a towering tree, with cultivators as the strong trunk and mortals as the foundation. If everything from the foundation to the trunk rots away, then it is only a matter of time before the Song family, a foundation-building immortal cultivation family, is destroyed.

Given that the Song family lacked a proper oversight system, Song Zhichu and the family elders, after repeated discussions, agreed to establish a place called the Law Enforcement Hall within the Song family compound on Qinglian Island.

The position of Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall was granted by Song Zhichu to Song Daoxuan, who had just been promoted to Foundation Establishment. The Elder of Law Enforcement is qualified to examine everyone in the entire family. The only person who can dismiss the entire Elder of Law Enforcement is the head of the family, Song Zhichu.

Song Daoxuan was able to mobilize dozens of Qi Refining cultivators from various families as members of the Enforcement Hall. These Qi Refining cultivators would then select some people from among the ordinary people in their families to serve as the outer personnel of the Enforcement Hall. Cultivators supervised the cultivators within their families, and ordinary people supervised the ordinary people within their families, with clear division of responsibilities.

After Song Zhiya's death, Song Honghu, who had recently advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, took over the duties of the demon-hunting team under Song Zhichu's appointment. Every day, he led a group of family cultivators out to find and kill demonic beasts in exchange for resources for the family.
