Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

When Song Changsheng stepped into the whirlpool, he only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he appeared in a deep body of water. It was pitch black all around, without any light at all.

The divine consciousness spread out in an overwhelming manner, and many fat fish and shrimps could be seen swimming in the water. From time to time, water monsters would pass by in the water with their bloody mouths wide open.

"What is this place and where is the formation?" Song Changsheng was a little confused, because he didn't see any trace of the formation at all, which was somewhat inconsistent with what Kongsang Xiruo said.

"Never mind, let's go up and take a look first."

Song Changsheng flashed and turned into a stream of light, breaking through the heavy river water and rushing towards the river surface...

"bang"

The calm river surface suddenly exploded with a splash of water, and a figure suddenly rushed out of the water, disturbing a group of large carp that were eating comfortably.

Song Changsheng looked at the clear blue sky, then glanced at the lush green forests around him, and he felt as if he was in another world.

"Am I... coming out? Where is the formation?" Song Changsheng was very confused.

He didn't think Kongsang Xiruo would lie to him because there was no need.

He didn't even think that the scene before his eyes was fake, because the [Eye that Sees Delusion] had the ability to see through illusions, and he was now truly back in the Da Qi cultivation world.

After thinking about it for a while, Song Changsheng suddenly realized something.

This is actually a test for Kongsang Xiruo, a test of "courage".

From a father's perspective, although he was worried that Kong Sang Xi would encounter an accident after setting foot in human territory, it did not mean that he was willing to "imprison" her in a cage for the rest of her life.

As long as Kongsang Xiruo had the idea of ​​leaving, she could use the conch to open the wall and the exit would be right in front of her.

As long as she doesn't back down at the critical moment, she will be able to step into human territory and gain "freedom".

No matter what happens in the future, it is her own choice after all.

He was afraid that Kong Sang Xiruo would open the door too early, so he told his daughter that there was a very advanced formation behind the door, which could only be broken through hard practice.

But he didn't really set it up because he was afraid that Kong Sang Xiruo would not be able to crack it.

It's considered well-intentioned.

"One thing is true. Once you step through that door, you can never go back. It seems that I have to break my promise." Song Changsheng smiled bitterly. He had promised Kong Sang Xi that he would visit her when he was free, but now he couldn't even find the entrance.

"By the way, this is the gift Xiruo sent me." Song Changsheng suddenly remembered that he hadn't opened it yet.

Song Changsheng took out the jade box from his arms and opened it. He was stunned. He saw a thumb-sized coral inside. It was colorless and looked like a work of art carved out of colored glaze. It was emitting a bone-chilling chill.

Song Changsheng tried to take out the coral, but before his fingers touched it, ice crystals condensed on his fingertips and spread upwards at a rapid speed.

Seeing this, he quickly withdrew his hand. In just a moment, one of his palms was completely wrapped in crystal clear ice crystals.

A chill that penetrated his soul continued to erode his body. If it weren't for his strong physique, this hand would probably have been frozen to death.

"Such a strong chill. Could this be the legendary [Cold Pool Coral] that grows at the bottom of the extremely cold sea in the north of the continent?"

Song Changsheng swallowed and looked at the small coral with a blank gaze.

Kongsang Xiruo really gave him a big gift.

[Cold Pond Coral] is a real fourth-level spiritual creature that has the ability to change the natural environment. All waters where it grows will be covered by extreme cold power.

As long as it is used properly, this power can not only be used to treat some special injuries, but also to strengthen the body.

If it is refined into a magical instrument and worn on the body, one will not be afraid of spiritual fire. It can also help to awaken the mind and calm the soul during practice, and prevent the invasion of inner demons.

Its preciousness is even higher than that of ordinary magic weapons.

"It seems like this favor is getting heavier and heavier." Song Changsheng smiled bitterly. He originally thought that the other party's return gift was just an ordinary thing, but he didn't expect it to be so precious.

Kongsang Xiruo's kindness to him is no less than Bai Zhengchun's.

"If you ever step through that door in the future, I will do my best to protect you." Song Changsheng put away the [Cold Pond Coral] and made a secret decision in his heart.

"It's been so long, I don't know what's going on with the family, let's go back and take a look first."

At this moment, Song Changsheng was eager to return home. After finding the right direction, he turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Cangmang Peak...

It took Song Changsheng three full days of rapid travel to get back to the Wangyue Mountains. Outside the Cangmang Peak, what caught his eyes was the devastation of the war.

Half of the Wangyue Mountains were destroyed. I don’t know how much manpower and resources it will take to recover.

But what made Song Changsheng feel at ease was that the Song family’s flag was still flying on Cangmang Peak.

He took out his identity token and opened the clan protection formation. With a quick scan, he found Xia Yunxue's figure in the Soul Lamp Hall.

Slowly pushing open the door, he saw Xia Yunxue kneeling alone in front of the tablet of the clan leaders of all generations, with her hands clasped together, praying silently.

Seeing this, Song Changsheng felt a sore nose, and he knelt on the cold floor with a plop, bowing his head and saying, "Mother, the unfilial son is back."

Xia Yunxue's body trembled, and she turned around in disbelief. Seeing Song Changsheng appearing alive in front of her, her tears immediately poured out like a flood.

"My son, let me take a good look at you."

Xia Yunxue looked at Song Changsheng in a panic, and only felt relieved when she found that he was safe and sound.

"I'm sorry for making you worry." Song Changsheng reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Xia Yunxue's eyes, his heart full of guilt.

"I'm glad you're back safely, I'm glad you're back safely." Xia Yunxue took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears in panic, then reached out to help Song Changsheng up.

"What are the casualties on the family side?" Song Changsheng asked the question that concerned him most.

Xia Yunxue sighed and said with some sadness: "The family suffered heavy losses in this battle. Not only the family, but also the affiliated families suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, you managed to make it through, but it was hard for you. If anything happened to you, how would I explain to your father? "

As she spoke, Xia Yunxue couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Song Changsheng immediately felt comforted again. After sending Xia Yunxue back to the courtyard, he went up to Ruoyun Palace to meet his old man.

Compared to Xia Yunxue, Song Xianming's emotions were obviously much more restrained. He just stroked his beard and said "OK" three times in a row.

"Since you have escaped death, where have you been during this time? After receiving your message, I, Daoist Fellow Zui Weng, Daoist Fellow Bai and Daoist Fellow Shen from Luoxia City and others rushed all the way to Xianglu River.

We used the [Tracking Technique] to search for you for several days, but couldn't find any trace of you. Later we went to see the Grand City Lord and asked him to use the Deduction Technique to find your whereabouts, but still found nothing. "

Song Xianming sighed quietly. This period of time was extremely tormenting for him. He had suspected more than once whether Song Changsheng had fallen into the hands of the bad guys. "Is Senior Zui Weng here too?" Song Changsheng was slightly stunned. He had not seen the old senior for several years since they parted.

"That's right, Brother Zui Weng was entrusted by the city lord to come to help, ready to make the final decision at the critical moment. Who would have thought that He Tai would be so shameless and actually ambush you in secret!"

Hearing this, Song Changsheng felt warm in his heart. Even under the tremendous pressure exerted by the Jinwu Sect, Luoxia City still never gave up on the Song family. This kindness was not enough to describe in words.

Keeping this favor in mind, Song Changsheng briefly recounted his experiences during this trip.

After listening to it, even Song Xianming couldn't help but sigh at how blessed Song Changsheng was.

"Your merman friend is not only your benefactor, but also the benefactor of our Song family. Sheng'er, you must remember that in life, there are things you should do and things you shouldn't do. Don't be an ungrateful person." Song Xianming said earnestly.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I won't have to worry about it." Song Changsheng bowed solemnly.

"Well, now that you're back, tell me what you're thinking next."

"There's nothing else to it but an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." An extremely cold light flashed in Song Changsheng's eyes.

In the past, the Song family was not strong enough and could only allow the Lieyang Sect to come and bully them again and again.

But now, the offense and defense have changed!
"You are the tribe leader, so it is up to you to decide what to do. Go meet the tribe members. Everyone is worried about you."

After saying that, Song Xianming slowly closed his eyes, and Song Changsheng bowed and stepped back.

After leaving Ruoyun Hall, Song Changsheng ordered the convening of a large clan meeting, requiring all the elders and those in positions above deacon in the family to attend the meeting in the meeting hall.

After receiving the news, everyone rushed to the meeting hall as quickly as possible. When they saw Song Changsheng, who had been missing for many days, appear in front of them, everyone's face immediately showed a sincere smile.

But on the contrary, Song Changsheng looked at the new faces in the hall with a heavy expression. Only when he saw Song Qingxing sitting in the front row did his expression ease a little.

But overall, there are more new faces, but fewer people attending the conference...

What made him most uneasy was that he did not see Song Xianyun.

He cast his gaze towards Song Luzhou who was sitting below him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Fifth Uncle, are all the people here?"

Song Luzhou nodded sadly and said, "Except for Uncle Twenty-one who is seriously injured and cannot attend the meeting, basically everyone is here."

"Grandpa Twenty-One is seriously injured?" Song Changsheng was shocked.

Song Xianyun's essence was already damaged, and now he has suffered new injuries before the old ones have healed. He can't even attend the clan meeting. I'm afraid this time...

For a moment, Song Changsheng was in a state of confusion.

"Clan leader, my twenty-first uncle asked me to tell you something. Please put the overall situation first." Song Luzhou understood what Song Changsheng was thinking and couldn't help but remind him softly.

"Nephew...I understand." Song Changsheng nodded with difficulty and sat back in his seat.

Seeing this, Song Luzhou cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, the clan meeting will begin now. First... report the casualties of this battle to the clan leader."

Song Luyun stood up upon hearing the news and said with a sad face: "In this battle, family elders Song Changjun, Song Changrong, and Song Changlian died in battle, and Song Xianyun and Song Qingqian were seriously injured.

One hundred and thirty-six tribesmen below the foundation-building stage died, and one hundred and fifty-seven were injured.

In addition, eighteen people from the Yulong branch were killed and twenty-one were injured.

Among the remaining affiliated forces, Liuyun Sect's elders Zhang Bihai and Liu Yiye died, and more than a hundred disciples were killed or injured. Wang family's elder Wang Qianmo died, 52 Qi-cultivating monks died, and 32 were seriously injured.

Yu clan leader Yu Xueqian was seriously injured, thirty-seven people died and eighteen were seriously injured.

It can be said that the entire Lingzhou was seriously injured this time."

After listening to Song Changan's report, Song Changsheng's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

The vitality that the Song family had finally recovered over the years was all destroyed in this battle. It is unknown how long it will take to recover.

"The Lieyang Sect and the Xiangzhou Rong family, this feud is irreconcilable!" There was anger rising in Song Changsheng's eyes, and his hands under the table were clenched tightly, with veins exposed.

This time, the Song family will no longer swallow their anger!

But before that, he had more important things to do.

Song Changsheng turned his gaze towards Song Luzhou and said, "Fifth Uncle, please lead the people in the General Affairs Hall to count the military merits as soon as possible and reward the clansmen who made contributions in the war.

In addition, double the pension will be issued, and all will be treated equally regardless of whether they are family monks or monks from affiliated forces.

Also, the three main herbs for refining the [Foundation Building Pill] grown in the family spiritual plant garden should have matured, right? Uncle Wu, please start refining the pill immediately. After the pill is completed, compensate Liuyun Sect with two [Foundation Building Pills] and compensate Wang Family with one [Foundation Building Pill].

Convert their military exploits into family contribution points and open the family treasury for them to redeem. "

"Are you going to give up the family treasure house?" Song Luzhou was suddenly shocked. Compensating with the [Foundation Building Pill] was fine, this was a tradition in the Da Qi cultivation world for many years.

But opening up the family treasury has never happened before.

Song Changsheng nodded and said, "They are fighting for our Song family. It is not our way to treat meritorious officials unfairly.

In addition to the magic weapons and the family's core skills, all the treasures in the treasury and the skills books in the Sutra Library are open to them."

"This... I understand." Song Luzhou gritted his teeth and agreed.

After the compensation and military merits were settled, Song Changsheng stood up solemnly and said in a deep voice to everyone, "The Lieyang Sect and the Rong family colluded with each other and caused the family to suffer heavy losses. We must avenge this hatred!
I declare that the entire clan is preparing for war. In ten days, we will attack the Lieyang Sect and the Xiangzhou Rong Clan and make them pay for their blood debt with blood!"

As soon as the words fell, thunderous applause rang out in the hall, and everyone's eyes were flashing with the anger called "hatred".

They have been waiting for the four words "blood debt must be paid with blood" for too long, and the Song family has been silent for too long.
.
"It's time to settle all the grudges over the years," Song Luzhou said in a deep voice.

"Yes, they must pay with blood!" Song Lutong's eyes were red and he roared in a hoarse voice.

"eye for eye!"

"eye for eye!"

The more you suppress it, the more terrifying it will be when it explodes.

Because of Song Changsheng's few words, the anger of everyone in the hall has been completely ignited.

Now, the Song family has only one belief left.

eye for eye!
