Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 359 The Golden Crow (Additional Update for Dragon Boat Festival)
"metropolitan--"

Seeing Zhang Hongguang's body torn into pieces in mid-air, the disciples of Lieyang Sect felt as if the sky had fallen and let out wails.

Wang Yuesong's figure also shook slightly. He originally thought that even if Zhang Hongguang was not his opponent, he would be able to hold on for a while and bring some turning point to this battle.

However, he did not expect that Song Changsheng had grown to such an extent that he killed Zhang Hongguang so quickly.

What were even more horrified were the seven clan leaders who were watching the battle on the Black Star Ship. To them, the Purple Mansion cultivators were high above them, invincible beings who only needed one person to overwhelm an entire state.

But now, a Purple Mansion cultivator died before their eyes.

It would have been fine if Song Changsheng had just ganged up on his opponent, but he chose to defeat him head-on in a one-on-one fight, beating the opponent so hard that he couldn't even self-destruct.

At this moment, they became more determined to hold on to Song's thick legs.

"Great Elder, their attack is too fierce. We can't hold on any longer." Huang Liqun came up to Wang Yuesong and said with a bitter face.

"You useless thing! Song Xianming and Yuan Tianshu haven't even made a move yet, and you can't resist it?" Wang Yuesong's face changed and he shouted angrily.

"Great Elder, the sect leader has fallen, and the morale of the disciples has completely collapsed. If you have any tricks up your sleeve, please use them quickly." Huang Liqun was on the verge of collapse. Every time he released the [Sky Fire Meteor], he would spit out a mouthful of blood. After doing this several times, he was about to become anemic.

Hearing this, Wang Yuesong couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, saying, "What backup plan can I have? All I can do is to delay the time as much as possible and wait for the Jinwu Sect to come forward to mediate. Other than that, I have no other choice."

"Ah?" Huang Liqun was stunned. He did not expect to get such an answer. Isn't this equivalent to handing the future of Lieyang Sect into the hands of outsiders?

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the horizon, and the entire Tianyang Peak seemed to tremble along with it.

Wang Yuesong and Huang Liqun looked in the direction of the sound, and were immediately horrified to find that a big hole had been blown out of the barrier of the formation by something. Song Xianming and Yuan Tianshu led their men into the formation at the first opportunity, and the surrounding Lieyang Sect disciples immediately fled in all directions.

"What's going on?" Wang Yuesong, in disbelief, grabbed a disciple who was running away and asked sternly.

The disciple had been frightened out of his wits, but Wang Yuesong's shouting woke him up. He said with a sad face, "Great Elder, they found a loophole in the formation and used a magical weapon that could explode on a large scale. The power it generated exceeded the limit of the formation, and the formation barrier collapsed directly!"

"Damn it!" Wang Yuesong cursed inwardly. The Song family really exceeded his expectations time and time again.

Seeing that the defense line had collapsed, he immediately made a decisive decision: "Fight while retreating, retreat to the Sutra Library for defense!"

The Sutra Repository is the most important place for a force, and is usually arranged with powerful formations. After the outer defense line is lost, it is the last line of defense.

Wang Yuesong is now preparing to make this final struggle.

After receiving the order, the surviving disciples of the Lieyang Sect began to retreat to the top of the mountain under the leadership of the elders and deacons.

On the other side, the elders of the Song family had already led the family monks to charge in through the gap in the formation. Song Qingxing took the lead, and with the [Traceless Sword] in his hand flipped, he took the lives of several people in an instant.

Moreover, he was charging upwards at an extremely fast speed, walking alone with a sword in hand, and no one could match him wherever he went.

Song Lutong was stunned by this fierce action. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Damn, this kid has been so fierce since he went out."

After saying that, he gritted his teeth and followed closely behind.

So, the two of them, one in front and one behind, chased after more than 300 people from the Lieyang Sect, shocking Shangguan Yin and others so much that they were speechless.

"Elder Yuan, please take your men to occupy the Lieyang Sect's treasury. Grandpa will keep an eye on this side, and I will go to the back mountain to block their retreat." After climbing up Tianyang Peak, Song Changsheng quickly assigned the tasks.

His attitude towards the Lieyang Sect is very clear, that is to wipe out the roots and not let anyone live. Not only the backbone of the sect like Wang Yuesong must be killed, but the rest of the people must not be let off either!
Song Changsheng flew to the back mountain, and his majestic spiritual awareness spread out like a flood. With his keen insight, he quickly sensed the fluctuations of the activation of a formation.

"found it!"

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he rushed forward and blocked a group of Lieyang Sect disciples in a hidden cave.

There were about seventeen or eighteen of them, all young disciples, led by a white-haired and bearded foundation-building cultivator, who were confronting Song Changsheng nervously.

Looking at those young faces, Song Changsheng felt a little reluctant, but soon, this feeling was thrown out of his mind.

Because he saw hatred in the eyes of these young people. Although they tried their best to hide it, it still did not escape Song Changsheng's eyes.

At this moment, Song Changsheng felt relieved. Being kind to the enemy would be cruel to himself.

Even if he felt compassion today and let these people go, they would not remember his kindness, and it would be even more impossible for them to let go of their hatred.

These people are indeed not threatening now, but it is possible that a figure like "Long Aotian" will appear among them in dozens or hundreds of years.

"Any last words?" Song Changsheng said indifferently, rubbing his fingers gently.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired foundation-building cultivator knelt down in front of Song Changsheng and begged, "Patriarch Song, if you want to kill them, just kill me. They are just children. Please show mercy and let them live. I promise that they will never be enemies of the Song family again."

Song Changsheng's eyes slowly swept over those young men, and finally he sighed faintly and said, "Your promise... is worthless."

As soon as he finished speaking, a ferocious look suddenly appeared on the face of the foundation-building cultivator. He suddenly attacked with a short blade in his hand, stabbing Song Changsheng straight in the heart.

Song Changsheng just glanced at him indifferently, and his powerful magic power surged out, instantly shattering his internal organs, causing him to die with blood spitting out of his mouth.

Seeing the elder who was protecting them fall, the young men's faces suddenly showed expressions of fear, and they curled up and kept backing away.

"Leave your soul here, and you will be reborn into a good family in your next life."

As the cold words came out, Song Changsheng stretched out his right hand and pressed down gently. All the disciples of Lieyang Sect present had their hearts shattered and died instantly.

After checking to make sure there were no survivors, Song Changsheng flew to the outside of the Lieyang Sect's Sutra Library.

Due to Wang Yuesong's decisive command, more than a hundred people followed him and retreated into the Sutra Library, using the formation to put up a last-ditch effort.

Song Qingxing was responsible for taking Chihuo Laogui, Song Changxue, Song Qingqing and others to clear out the remaining enemies in the rest of Tianyang Mountain.

Song Lutong led the remaining people to besiege the Sutra Library. Since Wang Yuesong threatened them with the many martial arts books in the Sutra Library, they did not dare to act rashly for a while.

Song Xianming was also hesitating whether to attack by force. With their strength, it would not be a problem to capture a Sutra Library, but this process was enough for Wang Yuesong and others to burn the Sutra Library to the ground. The Heart Sutra is the foundation of a sect and is also the most precious thing.

Without these, the gains from this battle would be greatly reduced.

"Grandpa, what does Wang Yuesong want to do?"

Song Xianming said in a deep voice: "He wants to negotiate with us. The condition of the negotiation is to give the disciples of Lieyang Sect a chance to live in exchange for the classics in the Sutra Library."

"Haha, you have a good plan." A sneer appeared on Song Changsheng's face.

"In your opinion, should we agree to his terms?"

“Today, no disciple of Lieyang Sect will go down Tianyang Mountain alive. It’s nothing more than some martial arts books. My Song family has a deep foundation, so we can just give them up.” Song Changsheng said disdainfully.

"Okay, then let's prepare to be strong..."

Before he could finish his words, a streak of light suddenly appeared above Tianyang Peak.

The visitor was a man. He looked down at Song Changsheng and the others and said in a loud voice, "Does the Song family really want to kill us all?"

"But is it the elder of the Jinwu Sect who has come to visit?" Song Changsheng stepped forward and bowed.

"Golden Crow Sect Chen Mingzhao, meet Patriarch Song. Patriarch Song is a man of extraordinary talent. Chen has admired him for a long time. Today I finally have the chance to meet him. I feel that his reputation is well-deserved."

What surprised Song Changsheng was that the man from the Jinwu Sect was unexpectedly friendly.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you are joking. I wonder what advice you have for me?"

Chen Mingzhao pointed at Wang Yuesong and others in the Sutra Library and said with a smile: "I came here for them. The Lieyang Sect did offend the Song family before, but now it has come to this point. You should calm down. Can you give the Jinwu Sect some face and stop now?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, the Song family and the Lieyang Sect have been in blood feud for decades. I'm sorry that I cannot agree to your request." Song Changsheng's face turned cold and he flatly refused.

Chen Mingzhao narrowed his eyes and said softly, "It seems that Patriarch Song is not going to give me the face of the Jinwu Sect."

Hearing this, Song Lutong and others' expressions suddenly changed. Offending the Jinwu Sect is not a pleasant thing.

Some were happy while others were sad. Wang Yuesong seemed to have found a backer at this moment, and cried loudly, "Elder Chen, please make the decision for my Lieyang Sect."

The surviving disciples of the Lieyang Sect also knelt down in a large group and cried to Chen Mingzhao about the various "evil deeds" committed by the Song family against them.

Song Changsheng frowned slightly. Although it would not be a big deal to let these people go, this was after all a battle for the Song family to establish their prestige. If it was not perfect, the effect would inevitably be unsatisfactory.

Just as Song Changsheng was pondering, a voice like thunder exploded in the sky: "The evidence is irrefutable that the Lieyang Sect is colluding with the evil demons. Are you sure you want to exonerate these people, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Song Changsheng's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he bowed to the sky and said: "Disciple greets Uncle Zhan!"

Chen Mingzhao's expression changed, and he thought to himself, "Why is this reckless man here?"

He couldn't help but take a step forward and said loudly, "What did the Second City Lord mean by what he said just now? The Lieyang Sect is colluding with the evil demons. How come our Jinwu Sect doesn't know anything about such a major event?"

"It's your problem that you know nothing about it. Since I dare to ask this, I can naturally produce evidence." Zhan Tianxia strode forward, with thunder surging around him, which was breathtaking.

Seeing Zhan Tianxia's words were so confident, Chen Mingzhao couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He glared at Wang Yuesong with a look of disappointment, turned his head and looked at Zhan Tianxia and said, "In this case, please ask the Second City Lord to take out the evidence at hand. If it is true, Chen will not show favoritism."

"Hmph, if you want to see, then go ahead." Zhan Tianxia waved his sleeves, and a piece of dark red fruit peel appeared in front of Chen Mingzhao.

After just one look, Chen Mingzhao's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "[Blood Gala Fruit], where did you get it from?"

Zhan Tianxia sneered and said, "This was found at the place where my nephew was ambushed. Just based on this item, the Lieyang Sect cannot be free from responsibility!"

Chen Mingzhao's expression was uncertain, and he argued: "Even so, it doesn't mean that the Lieyang Sect and the demons are colluding. What if it's a frame-up?"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this [Blood Galao Fruit] is used by Hanhai, and it was He Tai who found Hanhai. If the Lieyang Sect had not colluded with the evil demon, how could it be involved with him?" Song Changsheng said in a cold voice.

“Humph, even if the Lieyang Sect didn’t collude with the evil demon, just because it is involved with the Vast Sea, my Luoxia City will never let it go.

Fellow Daoist Chen, it would be better if your clan does not continue to interfere in this matter. There is no need for this city lord to elaborate on the grievances between Hanhai and my Luoxia City, right?" Zhan Tianxia said bluntly.

"Second City Lord, is this really not up for discussion?"

"If Fellow Daoist Chen feels that colluding with evil spirits is not a crime, then there is still room for negotiation. Otherwise, there is no room for negotiation." Zhan Tianxia's attitude was unusually tough.

Chen Mingzhao's face turned pale and blue. In the Da Qi cultivation world, colluding with evil spirits is an unforgivable crime. Under such circumstances, he still tried his best to protect the Lieyang Sect, which would be very unfavorable to the Jinwu Sect in terms of public opinion.

After all, the more one claims to be righteous, the more he or she cares about his reputation.

Moreover, the Lieyang Sect no longer has much surplus value, so it is not worthwhile to make enemies with Luoxia City for this.

"What the Second City Lord said makes sense. It was Chen who failed to investigate in time. The Lieyang Sect colluded with the evil demons. This crime is unforgivable. Chen will personally clean up the mess!"

Chen Mingzhao almost gritted his teeth as he spoke these words.

Wang Yuesong was shocked. He never thought that things would develop to this point. Chen Mingzhao, whom he regarded as his savior, actually "turned against him at the last minute".

"Elder Chen, this is unfair. Our Lieyang Sect is an upright and righteous sect. How could we possibly collude with evil? This must have been fabricated by them. Yes, it was fabricated. Elder Chen, please understand!"

"Shut up! You still have the nerve to call yourself an upright sect of immortal cultivators. You have completely disgraced the upright sect!"

Chen Mingzhao was furious and suddenly pushed out his palm. A huge palm print condensed in the air and finally fell down with a loud bang, directly razing the entire Sutra Library to the ground.

The seven hundred year old sect was destroyed...
