Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Song Changsheng rushed to Luoxia City as quickly as possible and requested to borrow the cross-domain space teleportation array. Because he had used it once before, Luoxia City was very happy to let him go.

With the help of the cross-domain space teleportation array to arrive at the border state, Song Changsheng determined the direction and then rushed to the crash site at a high speed, not daring to delay for a moment.

The place where Song Youlin was trapped was located at the junction of Yunzhou and Xuzhou. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was under the nose of the Tianjian Sect. At least several days had passed since Song Luzhou sent the message.

The cultivators from the Tianjian Sect must have arrived at the scene long ago.

If they broke the formation before Song Changsheng arrived, it would be a great disadvantage for the Song family. After all, Song Youlin's hands were stained with the blood of Tianjian Sect disciples, and he himself was a genius among the younger generation of the Song family.

As a close neighbor of the Tianjian Sect and a potential competitor, the Song family has the conditions to attack Song Youlin no matter what the reason is.

Even if they don't take its life, they will sell it for a good price.

Therefore, he had to be quick to prevent the Tianjian Sect from making any moves.

But not long after he arrived in Xuzhou, he felt as if a thread in his heart had broken, vaguely pointing in a certain direction ahead.

Song Changsheng's expression suddenly changed.

Before Song Lutong left, he left him a communication jade slip, asking him to use it to call for help in times of crisis. Before, when Song Youlin was trapped in a mysterious formation, he was still using the communication flying sword, which means that the situation was not serious enough to endanger Song Youlin's life. But now he crushed the communication jade slip, which means that the situation is already very critical.

But what's the use of knowing that? His speed is already as fast as it can be.

"Uncle Tong, you must hold on, I will be there soon!" Song Changsheng could only pray silently in his heart.

----

Southeast of Xuzhou, at the border with Yunzhou, in front of an unnamed valley in the Wuyun Mountains, three forces are confronting each other, and the scene is full of gunpowder.

It is said to be a three-party confrontation, but the number and strength of the three parties are not proportional at all.

The largest group had everyone holding a sword, and they were led by two Purple Mansions, who were the Tianjian Sect monks who rushed to the scene after receiving a message from their disciples. One was the Tianjian Sect's current great elder Jian Ming, and the other was Qi Xuan, the only third-level formation master in the Tianjian Sect.

Everyone on the other side was wearing plain robes. Although their numbers were not as many as those of the Tianjian Sect, they also had a Purple Mansion cultivator in charge, and their momentum was slightly higher than that of the Tianjian Sect.

This group of people were none other than the Tianmai Sect cultivators who had come here following the scent. The leading cultivator was a Zifu cultivator from the Bai family of Bai Yan Zhenren, also known as Old Ghost Bai, who had had some interactions with Song Changsheng in the past.

Opposite them, there were only three people.

It was Song Lutong and the Qin brothers.

Although the three men were facing many masters from the two sects, they did not show any fear at all. They stood firmly here from the beginning and had been doing so for an hour.

Looking at the few people who didn't move a step, Jian Ming's last bit of patience was almost exhausted.

When Jian Ming received the message from the sect disciples, he realized that this matter was not simple.

This area has always been sparsely populated and resources are scarce. A third-level formation suddenly appeared. No one would believe that there was no trick.

So after asking Jianxu for instructions, he and Qi Xuan brought their men here as soon as possible.

After investigation, Qi Xuan discovered that the large formation covering the entire valley was indeed a third-order formation, and its grade was not low. Perhaps because it was too old, its power was no longer as strong as before.

This immediately made Jian Ming and Qi Xuan realize that this was most likely a cave residence left behind by their predecessors. Even if the owner was not a Jindan Zhenren, he was definitely a leader among the Zifu cultivators.

This discovery surprised the two of them, and Jian Ming immediately urged Qi Xuan to break the formation.

However, the power of this formation was quite impressive. Even though most of its power had been reduced due to the passage of time, Qi Xuan, whose attainment in formation was only at the lower third level, was still somewhat incapable of breaking the formation. He delayed for several days in a row without being able to break the formation, and Jian Ming was so anxious that he stamped his feet.

At this moment, Bai Laogui arrived with disciples from the Tianmai Sect. Although Bai Laogui insisted that he just happened to be bringing his disciples to train around, Jian Ming and Qi Xuan knew very well that there must be a hidden spy from the Tianmai Sect among the disciples they brought, otherwise how could such a coincidence happen in the world.

But now it is too late after all. Old Ghost Bai is also a third-rank superior formation master. He personally led the team here, which made it clear that the Tianmai Sect wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Although they were helpless, Jian Ming and the others had no choice but to accept it.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Not to mention that the Tianjian Sect, which had suffered heavy losses, now had no confidence to say "no" to the Tianmai Sect. Just based on Old Ghost Bai's attainments in formations, he could completely leave them alone and break the formation on his own.

Fortunately, Old Ghost Bai had no intention of leaving the Tianjian Sect alone and taking all the benefits. Instead, he proposed that both parties break the formation together. After breaking the formation, both parties would get the benefits based on their abilities.

The Tianmai Sect gave Jian Ming a way out, and Jian Ming took the opportunity to do so. The two sides worked together to break the formation, and after a day and a night, they finally broke through the formation, revealing the cave residence of their ancestors hidden in the valley.

However, they did not see Song Youlin and others who had entered the formation earlier. There was only the dead body of a disciple of the Tianjian Sect on the ground.

The Tianjian Sect disciples present were instantly furious, and Jian Ming even stated on the spot that blood debt must be repaid with blood, and that Song Youlin must be torn into pieces. He was even willing to give up some of his interests for this, and only hoped that the Tianmai Sect disciples would be able to capture Song Youlin and hand him over to him for disposal after meeting him.

Naturally, he readily agreed to this good thing that came to his doorstep.

Just as the disciples of the two sects were preparing to enter the cave, Song Lutong and others, who had been hiding in the dark with the help of treasures that could conceal their auras, could no longer bear it, and they appeared directly at the entrance of the cave, blocking their identities.

After learning that they and the "murderer" who escaped into the cave were all from the Song family.

I don’t know what Old Ghost Bai was thinking, but he actually ordered his disciples to stop, acting like an outsider and throwing all the trouble onto the Tianjian Sect.

The people of Tianjian Sect were in a dilemma at the moment. Having heard the description from the disciples, they thought that the perpetrator was a casual cultivator or a disciple of a small family. They did not expect that the other party was from the Song family and was accompanied by bodyguards. His status in the Song family must be unusual.

If it were the Tianjian Sect of the past, the murderer would pay with his life. Even if it was a genius from the younger generation of the Song family, he would be killed. Even Song Lutong, the protector, could be killed together.

But now, the Tianjian Sect has been severely damaged. More than ten years have passed, and the mountain protection formation has not yet been repaired. It is obviously not wise to make enemies with the Song family at this moment.

Song Lutong was also very sensible. He said that although the Song family also had a share in the discovery of the ancient relics, they could give them all up as compensation as long as he was allowed to take Song Youlin away.

As the saying goes, share it in half when you meet. Strictly speaking, Song Youlin was the first to enter the valley, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he discovered it. Naturally, the Song family is also entitled to a share. Song Lutong's willingness to give up at this moment has already made a huge concession.

Unexpectedly, Jian Ming insisted that Song Youlin had the lives of three Tianjian Sect disciples on his hands, and if he wanted to leave, he had to at least leave one arm behind and abolish his cultivation.

How could Song Lutong agree to this? The two sides were in a stalemate. Jian Ming tried to force his way into the cave several times, but was stopped by Qi Xuan. Bai Laogui also looked like he had nothing to do with it and watched them perform quietly.

It was in this wonderful atmosphere that Song Lutong and the other two were able to confront the monks from the two sects in the valley for an hour.

Jian Ming's temper was as raging as fire. He was a ruthless man who had threatened to go to war with Tianxiao Sect directly because of Jian Xu. This hour had exhausted all his patience.

He stood up directly, looked at Song Lutong and said coldly: "Back off!"

As he spoke, the powerful aura from his body pressed towards Song Lutong and others like a tide.

Song Lutong gritted his teeth and did not retreat a single step.

Jian Ming slowly drew out his sword, his eyes full of murderous intent as he said, "Don't think that I won't touch you just because your last name is Song."

"Elder Jianming, I have already sent a message back to our tribe. Our clan leader will arrive here soon and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer then." Song Lutong tried his best to straighten his back and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

A cold light flashed in Jian Ming's eyes and he said, "Are you threatening me? Even if Song Changsheng comes in person, he has to act according to what I say. Don't be so shameless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gazes of the Tianjian Sect disciples behind him immediately turned into reverence. This was the attitude they should have as sword practitioners.

Seeing this, Qi Xuan quickly sent a message to Jian Ming: "Great Elder, should we ask the Sect Master for instructions first? It is unwise to break up with the Song family now."

Qi Xuan is a pragmatic person. In his opinion, the Song family is currently thriving, and making enemies with them is not a good thing for the current Tianjian Sect.

After all, the Song family has already withdrawn from the fight for Xiangzhou. As long as they recuperate for a period of time, they can take it into their possession. If they kill these people now, even if the Song family does not directly go to war with the Tianjian Sect, they will certainly re-intervene in the fight for Xiangzhou, which will be very disadvantageous for the Tianjian Sect.

Therefore, he felt that as long as the Song family could pay a sufficient price, it would not be a big deal to let them take the person away. That was why he kept trying to stop Jian Ming and wanted him to stay calm.

But this time Jian Ming turned hostile and said angrily, "That man killed three of my Tianjian Sect disciples. I am already showing mercy by sparing his life, but they are stubborn and ignore the dignity of our Tianjian Sect. If we wait any longer, won't we be laughed at by the world?

Elder Qi, I have made up my mind, please stop talking!"

Jian Ming, as the grand elder, has great power, second only to the sect leader Jian Xu. Now that he has said this, Qi Xuan could only sigh and let him do as he pleases.

Seeing this, Old Ghost Bai on the side couldn't help but start to think in his heart. Others didn't know, but he knew clearly that his ancestor admired Song Changsheng very much, otherwise he would not have presented him with such a precious treasure as the fruit-bearing branch of the [Golden White Marble Fruit] at the Zifu ceremony.

Now that Jianming is determined to take action, should he save one or two people from the Song family and do Song Changsheng a favor at the critical moment?

Just as he was thinking about it, Jian Ming had already drawn his sword. A sharp sword light cut through the air and fell towards the location where Song Lutong and the other two were at lightning speed.

This sword was full of murderous intent, and Jian Ming used almost all of his strength.

Everyone present seemed to have seen the tragic scene of the three Song family members being separated from their heads and bodies.

At the critical moment, Song Lutong directly crushed the amulet made by Song Xianming himself, and a water-blue barrier formed in front of him, narrowly blocking the sword.

But Song Lutong was not too optimistic. There were more than just Jian Ming in the Tianjian Sect, and he couldn't hold on for long.

So he looked at the Qin brothers behind him and said, "You go into the cave immediately and make sure to find Youlin and ensure his safety. The clan leader will be here soon."

Qin Ze stopped Qin Yu who was about to speak, and said with a firm look: "Please rest assured, Elder, even if my two brothers die, we will definitely ensure your safety!"

After saying that, they immediately turned around and entered the cave.

Upon seeing this, Qi Xuan immediately signaled the Tianjian Sect disciples present to follow him, but the order he gave to everyone was to capture them alive.

In his opinion, as long as Song Youlin was not dead, the Song family’s bottom line would not be touched.

Old Ghost Bai was not willing to fall behind, so he immediately asked the disciples of Tianmai Sect to follow.

They also have a mission, which is to try their best to prevent Song Youlin from falling into the hands of the Tianjian Sect. Since Song Changsheng is coming, he naturally has to do him a favor.

Seeing the disciples of the two sects bypassing him and entering the cave, Song Lutong was powerless and could only pray that the space in the cave was large enough to allow Song Youlin and others to hold out until Song Changsheng arrived.

When Jian Ming missed his first strike, he immediately launched a more fierce attack. His sword energy was like waves, and each sword was stronger than the last. The amulet that could have blocked a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator for half an hour only lasted for a quarter of an hour before it was shattered by his hands.

Song Lutong was affected by the sword energy and staggered back several steps, with a trickle of bright red blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

But Jian Ming had no intention of stopping and raised the sword in his hand again.

Sensing the breath of death, Song Lutong immediately crushed the sword talisman given to him by Song Changsheng.

In an instant, a brilliant black and white sword energy shot up into the sky.

The shocking sword intent it exuded even made Jian Ming, who had been immersed in swordsmanship for hundreds of years, feel a palpitation in his heart.

He swung the sword in his hand in front of him, forming an impenetrable sword shield.

"Swish"

The black and white sword energy swept over, and the sword and shield in front of Jian Ming was as vulnerable as bubbles. At the critical moment, it was the precious clothes on his body that provided a defense and barely offset most of the power of the sword.

Even so, Jian Ming was swept away by the residual power of the sword and fell to the ground in a mess, with a glaring blood mark on his chest.

For a moment, both Qi Xuan and Bai Laogui showed surprise in their eyes.

Jian Ming was a cultivator in the late Purple Mansion stage after all, but he was unable to block the sword and even bleed.

After Jian Wushuang's death, who among the Purple Mansion cultivators in the Da Qi cultivation world has such swordsmanship?
