Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

The foundation-building cultivator who was hit by the purple goblin was shocked and came to the floating stone bridge timidly. He looked at the boiling magma surging below and was afraid to step down.

If I fall down, I will definitely die!

His procrastination made Zi Xiao very dissatisfied. His pair of eyes like poisonous snakes reflected a cold light, which made the foundation-building monk's back cold and his hair stand on end.

He didn't dare to step onto the floating stone bridge, and he didn't dare to refuse Zixiao's order. In a dilemma, he could only turn his eyes to Heifeng for help.

Seeing the pleading eyes of his brothers, Hei Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to Zi Xiao and say, "Senior Zi, is this stone bridge dangerous?"

Zi Xiao looked at him coldly and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just do whatever I tell you to do. If you are late, how many heads do you have to pay for it?"

Hearing these murderous words, Hei Feng's scalp was about to explode. He glanced at the hesitant foundation-building cultivator, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said, "Third Brother, go ahead!"

"Big brother..."

The third brother's voice trembled a little, but after feeling the murderous intent emanating from Zi Xiao, he still bravely walked forward.

Although the stone slab is suspended in mid-air, it is very solid and gives people a sense of security, just like stepping on the ground.

The third brother suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and took another tentative step, still very steadily.

"fine?"

Seeing that he was fine after taking a few steps, he gradually grew braver and took several steps in succession. Just when he thought he was worrying too much, his feet suddenly felt empty, the stone slab broke in the middle, and he fell down at a very fast speed.

With a heart-wrenching wail, the third brother was mercilessly swallowed by the boiling magma, leaving only a wisp of black smoke rising.

Looking at the empty floating stone bridge with half a stone slab missing, Heifeng and others were stunned.

Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang's expressions also changed slightly. At this moment, they finally understood why Zixiao hired such a group of people. It turned out that they were used to explore the way.

Although we know that these people are destined to be cannon fodder, this way of dying is still a bit too cruel.

Among the people present, only Zi Xiao looked calm, as if only a kitten or puppy had died, and there was no ripple in his heart. He pointed to a short Foundation Establishment cultivator and said, "You go."

The short monk he pointed out witnessed the death of the third brother with his own eyes, and naturally did not want to be a pawn to explore the way again. He knelt down in front of Zi Xiao with a plop, begging for mercy with tears in his eyes.

Hei Feng's face looked a little ugly. He bravely said, "Senior Zi, we don't want the reward. How about we just end this commission now?"

"Ha, so naive." Niu Dazhuang sneered. He wanted to get off after getting on the pirate ship. There was no such good thing in the world.

Sure enough, the next moment Zi Xiao directly attacked and killed the short monk who was kneeling on the ground. The pungent smell of blood filled the air, making everyone's heart sink to the bottom.

"You can live if you reach the other side, those who hesitate will die!" Zi Xiao did not conceal his murderous intent at all. The foundation-building cultivators present were so frightened that their faces turned pale. No one dared to express their dissatisfaction, not even Heifeng.

If it was just an early Purple Mansion cultivator, they could still fight him off together, but facing a strong one like Zi Xiao, they had no room for resistance at all.

"You go."

Zixiao was very satisfied with their performance and clicked on the only female monk in the team.

"Brother." The female cultivator was so frightened that her face turned pale and even her voice became distorted, but no one could save her at this moment. Under the death threat of Zi Xiao, she walked forward tremblingly.

The front was still smooth as always, and they soon arrived at the stone slab with only half left. The third brother had fallen from here.

Looking back at the sinister-looking Zi Xiao, she knew that she had no way out and could only reach the other side, where she would have a glimmer of hope.

He raised his foot tremblingly, hesitated for a moment, then put it down again. Instead, he took out an ingot of fine iron and threw it on the stone slab in front of him.

The fine iron ingots made crisp collision sounds, but the stone slab did not move at all. The woman was delighted and took out more fine iron ingots, throwing them as she walked.

Just when she thought she had found a flaw, the pattern on the stone slab under her feet flashed, and the stone slab broke in the middle, and the woman fell down defenselessly.

A strange force imprisoned her body, making it impossible for her to mobilize her spiritual energy. She could only watch helplessly as the surging magma swallowed her up.

"There's something strange about the pattern on the stone slab. This little trick won't work." After watching for a while, Song Changsheng had already seen some clues.

"Is it because the weight is not enough?" Niu Dazhuang said thoughtfully.

"It's not that simple. Zixiao may know the inside story, so he specially hired such a group of people." Song Changsheng shook his head slightly.

“I just don’t understand. The forbidden air formation is only effective against cultivators below the Jindan stage. The owner of this cave is a Jindan cultivator himself, so why would he go to the trouble of building a stone bridge?
It would be fine if he just built a stone bridge, but he also cut it into pieces here and there. Does he want to let outsiders in or not?" Niu Dazhuang complained.

"Except for the owner of this cave, perhaps he is the only one who knows the answer to this question." As he said that, Song Changsheng turned his gaze to the purple goblin in front of him.

He was sure that Zi Xiao was not telling the truth, but he had no idea how much he had concealed.

In short, from the moment you enter the Jinxuan Grotto, there is a sense of weirdness everywhere.

While the two were talking, three more members of the Demon Wind Hunting Team fell into the lava and were killed. They tried their best but still couldn't find the loophole in the stone bridge. They could only fill it step by step with their lives.

If they continue like this, there will be no need for Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang to take action, and the Demon Wind Monster Hunting Team will all die here.

Fortunately, there were not many traps on this stone bridge. After seven people paid the price, they finally found a safe path.

"Friend Zhu, Friend Liu, you can cross the bridge now." Zi Xiao greeted them, then strode up with his head held high.

Song Changsheng and Niu Dazhuang looked at each other and hurried to follow.

At the end were Heifeng and his only two remaining men. At this moment, they had already understood their situation and fate. The successive deaths of their companions had made them numb. At this moment, they became like the walking corpses, following closely behind Song Changsheng and others.

They didn't know if they could survive if they continued walking, but they knew that they would definitely die if they dared to run away.

Soon, the group arrived at the bronze door on the other side, and then they repeated the same trick and cast a spell together to open the bronze door.

Zi Xiao became more and more excited, and he couldn't wait to rush in as soon as the bronze door was half opened.

"Oh no, hurry up and catch up." Song Changsheng hurriedly chased after him.

But after a while, the two of them stopped walking, because Zi Xiao stopped in front of them and opened his arms, as if he wanted to hug something. Even though he could only see his back, Song Changsheng could feel the enthusiasm emanating from him.

The two men moved their eyes forward and saw a huge palace built underground, with halls and pavilions, magnificent and gorgeous.

Things were going from bad to worse.

The jade pendant on Song Changsheng's chest became hotter and hotter, which meant that Zhuang Yuechan was very close to him, probably in the palace in front.

"Fellow Daoist Zi, this place is probably not just a cave, right?" Song Changsheng came behind Zi Xiao and asked calmly.

Zi Xiao turned around and said calmly, "How can you and I know the cave of Jindan Zhenren?

Okay, Fellow Daoist Zhu, don’t worry about these trivial matters. According to the information I have, the origin of the law is among them, and the yellow-haired girl who has obtained the [Genjin Qi] is also in it.

It’s up to you whether you want to come in or not.”

After saying that, Zixiao waved his sleeves, rolled up Heifeng and the other two, and brought them to the palace gate.

The door of the hall was open, and the furnishings inside the hall could be clearly seen.

Zi Xiao did not rush in rashly, but instead threw the tall monk among the three in. As soon as he entered the hall, sharp golden energy exploded, and amid waves of creepy wailing, the tall monk was twisted into a ball of blood mist.

"Sure enough, there is still a trick." Zi Xiao sneered, took out a pottery jar the size of his head, and poured out the liquid inside that looked like dirty blood.

"laugh……"

The dirty blood came into contact with the sharp golden energy, causing a series of harsh sounds, and streams of blood-black smoke rose into the sky.

Seeing this, Zi Xiao threw another fat-headed and big-eared monk in. This time he was not twisted into a bloody mist, but fell to the ground like a dead pig.

Before he could feel relieved, Zi Xiao picked him up and continued walking forward.

He did not continue to ask Niu Dazhuang and Song Changsheng to follow him, because he firmly believed that with the opportunity so close at hand, it would be impossible for these two people to remain calm.

As he expected, they soon caught up with him without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zi Xiao couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He led the way through the front hall and entered the back hall. He threw Hei Feng and the fat monk who escaped the disaster to the ground, turned around and looked at Song Changsheng and the others and said, "See it? We are here. That is the origin of the law."

Upon hearing this, Song Changsheng looked in the direction he pointed and found a metal ball suspended in the air, and below the metal ball was a vast altar.

From the metal ball, Song Changsheng felt a powerful force that he had never encountered before, which made him feel a little palpitated.

"Is this the origin of the law?" Song Changsheng frowned slightly. He had never come into contact with power of this level as the origin of the law, but his intuition told him that something was wrong, very wrong.

But this is not important. He didn't come here for this thing. But what made him anxious was that he didn't see Zhuang Yuechan here.

"Have you two fellow Taoists seen the altar? We will cast a spell together to activate the altar in a moment, and we will be able to introduce the origin of the law into our bodies, and from then on we will soar into the sky!" Zi Xiao's words were full of temptation.

But Song Changsheng's mind remained clear, and he said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Zi, don't worry about the origin of the law. Where is the [Genjin Qi] that you promised to give us?"

"That's right, we've come this far, where is what you were talking about!" Niu Dazhuang's eyes were wide open, like an angry bull.

There was a flash of coldness in Zi Xiao's eyes, but he said with a smile on his face: "I was in a hurry and almost forgot about this matter. If I am not mistaken, that person must have entered this place by mistake and was trapped somewhere.

As you know, this is the place where Jindan Zhenren practices, and it is heavily restricted. It is impossible for her, a mere foundation-building cultivator, to get out without a way.

She will definitely not be able to escape. If you two go to look for her, you will miss the best time to integrate the origin of the law. The loss will outweigh the gain. You should focus on the present."

Song Changsheng naturally didn't believe this excuse. He gave Niu Dazhuang a look, and the other party understood what he meant. He stepped forward and said, "I think what Daoist Fellow Zi said makes sense. In front of the origin of the law, the [Genjin Qi] is nothing."

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Liu sees it clearly." Zi Xiao nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the altar and said, "You two should choose a direction. The time has come and we can't delay any further."

"Okay, I'll choose first." Niu Dazhuang strode forward and gave Zixiao a friendly smile when he passed by him.

Zi Xiao pulled the corner of his mouth and responded with a fake smile.

At this moment, Niu Dazhuang suddenly attacked, and a fist as big as a vinegar jar smashed into Zixiao's face.

The attack was fast and fierce. Even though Zi Xiao had never let his guard down, he was still caught off guard. He had no choice but to cross his arms in front of him and take the punch.

Zi Xiao was not a physical practitioner, so this punch sent him flying. He fell to the ground and took dozens of steps back before he was able to relieve the huge force.

But his skills were much higher than Niu Dazhuang's after all, and this punch did not cause much damage to him, except that he was a little embarrassed to receive it.

Before he could make any move, Song Changsheng, holding the [Mountain-Shaking Halberd], had already leaped above his head and slashed at him fiercely.

"How dare you!" Anger surged in Zi Xiao's heart, and vast magical power gathered in his palm, turning into an illusory fist that went straight towards Song Changsheng.

"boom--"

The huge recoil force was transmitted to Song Changsheng's arm through the [Mountain-Shaking Halberd]. He immediately flew backwards, and the [Mountain-Shaking Halberd] almost slipped out of his hand.

The purple goblin flashed in front of Song Changsheng, bent his palm into a claw, and attacked directly towards his heart.

At this critical moment, Niu Dazhuang stepped forward and knocked Zi Xiao out.

"Get started!" Song Changsheng shouted.

Niu Dazhuang suddenly threw out a purple gold bracelet, which turned into a purple halo in the air and went straight onto Zi Xiao's body, melting into his body.

At the moment of integration, Zi Xiao did not feel anything strange. It was not until he used his magic power again that he discovered that the magic power he could mobilize was only half of what he had before.

"Hahaha, you old bastard, how does my [Purple Yin Gold Bracelet] taste?" Seeing that the attack hit the target, a bloodthirsty smile suddenly appeared on Niu Dazhuang's face.

As the saying goes, strike while he is weak, the two of them attacked together, one on the left and one on the right...
