In a dark hall, filled with the smell of death, a dozen figures in blood-red robes with skulls tattooed on their chests gathered together.
Their faces were shrouded in blood-colored mist, and their faces could not be seen clearly. They were arguing fiercely about something. If you listened carefully, you could find that their voices were also concealed.
In front of them, stood a tall White Bone Throne, with a figure sitting lazily on it, teasing the Blood-Eyed Crow held on the back of his hand, and watching the quarrels with interest, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
After a long time, the quarrel in the hall gradually calmed down, and they divided into two columns based on their different opinions.
In the left column, a tall figure stood out. He knelt down on one knee facing the throne and said in a deep voice, "Venerable Master, we shouldn't provoke Golden Crow Sect at this time."
Before the person on the throne could speak, a thin figure jumped out from the row on the right. He pointed at the tall figure and said in a sharp voice, "Why, Lord Mie, are you questioning Venerable Master's wise decision?"
"Lord Jin, I just think now is not the time to break up with the Golden Crow Sect." Facing the opponent's hat, Mie said calmly.
"Master Mie is overly worried. The sect's actions in this matter are secretive. Golden Crow Sect can't possibly suspect us." Jing Jian said with a smile.
"Didn't one of them escape?" Mie glanced at Jin and said with a sneer.
Jhin's face darkened and he said sharply, "She can't run away."
Mie wanted to continue mocking, but at this time, the figure on the throne said lightly, "We have been arguing all day long. You are so smart. How about letting you do Sect Leader?"
Hearing this, Mie and Jin's expressions suddenly changed, and they said in fear, "I have no such idea, Venerable Master, forgive me!"
The figure on the throne glanced at them and said coldly, "Activate the rudders of each state. No matter what method they use, I must let Golden Crow Sect target Heavenly Meridian Sect.
In addition, who is in charge of the sub-rudders at Ling Province and Bianzhou? "
Mie and Jin looked at each other, and finally Mie said bravely, "Since the last attempt to snatch Blood Bat Demon King Cub failed, the co-rudders of Ling Province and Bianzhou have been leaderless."
"If you don't tell me, you have forgotten that you two losers can't handle such a simple matter as grabbing a Demon Beast cub." The figure on the throne glanced at everyone and said, "Blood Consort, from now on, you will take over as Steering Master in Bian and Ling two states."
A tall woman walked out of the team behind Jhin and said in a cold voice, "Blood Consort, I obey."
"After you take office, in addition to collecting intelligence from the two states, I have several tasks for you.
The first is to find out who was the culprit who killed Bianzhou Steering Master at the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
The second is to continue the previous mission of Ling Province Steering Master and find the treasures hidden in the early years of the first Ling Province Steering Master.
The third is to cooperate with Yuanzhou Steering Master Yongye to search for that Golden Crow Sect fish that slipped through the net. I don't want her to return to the Golden Crow Sect alive. Do you understand? "
"I sincerely obey Venerable Master's order." Blood Consort said without any fluctuation in his tone.
"Let's disperse." The figure on the throne waved his sleeves, and the entire hall suddenly emptied out, leaving only him and the Blood-Eyed Crow...
On the third day after Song Changsheng received the information, Golden Crow Sect's order was finally sent to Vast Peak. For this purpose, he held a high-level meeting of Lineage as Young Clan Head.
Since Fourth Elder Song Luhai is currently guarding Liuyun Market, and Sixth Elder Song Lutong is guarding Lineage Mortal World, they cannot escape easily.
Therefore, in addition to Song Changsheng, there are only three people participating in this meeting: Second Elder Song Luzhou, Third Elder Song Luyao and Fifth Elder Xia Yunxue.
Song Changsheng handed the order he just received to Song Luzhou beside him and said, "Golden Crow Sect Yuanzhou Town Guardian Envoy [Master Tianyan] personally conveyed the order, everyone should take a look."
Song Luzhou took it and took a look, and immediately exploded. He shouted at the crime, "Golden Crow Sect. What does this mean? They suspect that this interception and killing was done by us Song Clan?"
As soon as these words came out, several people present immediately lost their composure. Song Luyao sneered and said, "What a big mouthful of Black Pot. If I, Song Clan, had the ability to ambush Purple Mansion Great Cultivator, we would have attacked Blazing Sun Sect!"
Song Changsheng pinched his eyebrows and said, "According to Town Guardian Envoy, all the forces in several states around the place where the incident occurred are suspected. We are limited to three months to identify the murderer and find the missing Direct Disciple."
"This is simply too much bullying. There is no one in Yuanzhou. As Yuanzhou Town Guardian Envoy, he doesn't want to investigate, but let us go?" Song Luzhou was so angry that his face turned black.
"If he could find out who it was, he wouldn't have given such an order. Now that the matter has come to this, anger is the most useless emotion. I suggest that we focus on finding Golden Crow Sect's missing disciples, and notify the other Five Familiess to search together. This is not our family's business." Song Luyao turned his attention to Song Changsheng and said indifferently.
"My nephew thinks so too. I decided to hand over this task to the Law Enforcement Hall and Wind Whisper Hall. I also issued a separate task and mobilized the subordinate forces of Lineage to search together. Lineage is only responsible for the Moon-Gazing Mountain Range and the surrounding areas.
The directions of the Liuyun Mountain Range and Wutong Mountain Range are left to the other five Foundation Establishment forces. "
From Song Changsheng's point of view, this kind of thing is just a matter of doing everything and obeying fate. After all, the scope is too large, and no one knows where Xia Qingxue escaped to.
"By the way, the people sent by the master's family should be arriving soon. Can Lineage contact them? The situation has been tense recently, and it would be bad to get them involved." Song Changsheng suddenly remembered and said.
Song Luyao nodded slightly and said, "I can contact you. The last time they summoned me was a month ago. They should have arrived at Great Qi by now."
"Please ask them which route they took. If necessary, Lineage will send someone to pick them up." Song Changsheng said with some worry.
Now the whole Great Qi Cultivation World is undercurrent. They are carrying three Foundation Establishment Pill. If something goes wrong, it will be a big blow to the Song Clan.
"Okay, I'll contact them."
"Then let's break up the meeting."
Three days later, all Ling Province forces were mobilized and began to search for traces of Xia Qingxue everywhere. The same was true for the forces in several surrounding states.
Because of an ambush, half of Great Qi Cultivation World was involved in the whirlpool, but the real culprit behind the scenes has not yet been found out.
Song Changsheng has no good solution for this, and he is not in the mood to investigate. People who can fight with the Golden Crow Sect, Song Clan, are nothing in front of him.
The only good news for him these days is that Lineage's accumulated errands have finally been taken care of, and he can finally take time off to improve himself.
At present, Song Changsheng has many directions to choose from, such as "Five Beast Body Tempering Art", improving Array's attainments, etc. Each of them has a lot of room for improvement.
After much thought, Song Changsheng decided to understand Dao Scripture first.
It has been a while since he broke through Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but he never had time to understand Dao Scripture. When he broke through Foundation Establishment Early Stage, he understood "Five Beast Body Tempering Art". He is looking forward to his harvest this time.
Song Changsheng entered Seclusion Chamber, first drank a large amount of [Monkey Wine], then sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend Dao Scripture.
As Jade Slip slowly opened in his mind, Song Changsheng fell into silence...
After a day and a night, Song Changsheng opened his eyes tiredly, looking a little strange, because this time he got a Secret Art named [Light of Revival].
In layman's terms, after practicing, you can heal yourself or others' injuries.
This is something Song Changsheng didn't expect. Generally speaking, only monks with Wood Spiritual Root or Law of Life Dao Foundation can practice this kind of Secret Art. However, this is Water-Fire Spiritual Root and Yin-Yang Dao Foundation. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't matter.
"Based on these years of experience, what I have learned from Dao Scripture is the most suitable for me. This is true whether it is the mental method or the Body Tempering method, so this Secret Art should also have something to say."
Song Changsheng rubbed his chin and suddenly had a guess in his mind. He had verified it repeatedly in private in the past few days. Since absorbing the fruit, his Spiritual Power did have the ability to heal injuries, and his own healing ability was also stronger, but it was not ideal.
If combined with this Secret Art, the effect will definitely change dramatically.
Thinking of this, Song Changsheng suddenly became interested and started practicing.
One advantage of Secret Art that I learned from Dao Scripture is that it is very fast to master. It only took three days for Song Changsheng to get started.
In order to verify the idea in his mind, he took out a Flying Sword and slashed his arm directly. In an instant, there was a large gash on his forearm that was as deep as the bone, and blood surged like a fountain.
But Song Changsheng didn't even frown. He just covered the wound with his other hand and secretly operated [Light of Revival]. He saw a surge of green light, the bleeding stopped quickly, and then he felt the wound was itchy.
Song Changsheng removed his palm and drew some water to clean the blood. He saw that the wound on his arm had begun to heal.
"The effect is very good. In such a short period of time, the injury has improved significantly, and it only takes a dozen breaths to fully heal." Song Changsheng showed a smile on his face. If it were in actual combat, such a healing ability would be terrifying.
"I just don't know how it will work for others."
Thinking of this, Song Changsheng went straight to Song Xianyun's yard. He explained the purpose of his visit to Song Xianyun, and Old Master didn't ask any questions and just let him do what he wanted.
Since Song Xianyun suffered internal injuries, Song Changsheng directly put his hand on his chest.
Song Xianyun only saw a surge of green light, and then he felt a strange power injected into his body, flowing to his limbs and bones, making his whole body warm.
Then he noticed that the pain in his body had lessened, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the injuries in his body had improved significantly.
Song Xianyun was immediately stunned. What kind of magical secret method was this? It could actually achieve such immediate results.
After another quarter of an hour, he waved his hand and said, "No need to continue."
Song Changsheng looked over with some confusion. Only half of the Spiritual Power in his body was consumed, and it was far from reaching the limit.
"The treatment effect has weakened a lot since the beginning. I guess it has reached its limit. Continuing is just a waste of your Spiritual Power. I am much better. Thank you, child." Song Xianyun's face has returned to ruddy, and his speech has become full of vigor. He is completely different from before.
Song Changsheng retracted his hand thoughtfully and said to himself, "It seems that the treatment effect has a limit, but this is enough. Twenty-First Grandfather's serious injury is now mostly healed."
This is simply a "magic skill". If he had realized this Secret Art earlier, he would not have been so miserable when he was ambushed by the Blazing Sun Sect. Fortunately, it is not too late to realize it now.
"One family should not talk to each other. This is what the grandson should do. You should take a good rest. The grandson will go back to deal with the general affairs first."
After walking out of the yard, Song Changsheng did not return to Hall of General Affairs, but went to Scripture Repository.
He knew very well that the reason why this Secret Art was able to achieve such a good effect was entirely because of the fruit.
He had never heard of such a magical Spirit Plant before. He planned to check some classics to see if he could find some relevant records.
Using his authority, he borrowed all the Jade Slip that could be recorded.
In the next period of time, while dealing with the mundane affairs that had accumulated in the past few days of seclusion, he checked the classics. It took more than half a month, and he actually found suspected records in an ancient volume Jade Slip.
"[Law Spirit Fruit] was born in an area rich in Power of Principle. It is extremely rare. Spirit Plant has different shapes. Each one contains a kind of Power of Principle...
The description above is somewhat similar. The life in the Qiantian Secret Realm is rich in Power of Principle, which initially meets the conditions for the birth of [Life Law Spirit Fruit].
After I absorbed the fruit, Spiritual Power gained a life force. It seems quite reasonable to say that this is life Power of Principle. "
Song Changsheng suddenly felt a toothache. He could find the heel and legs of Spirit Plant. There was no reason why Golden Crow Sect couldn't find it. The seed was still in Xia Qingxue's hand. If she took it back, wouldn't it be exposed by then?
"Oh, it's troublesome." Song Changsheng sighed. The sorrow of the low-level monks is that they obviously belong to their own Fortuitous Encounter, but they still have to worry about it all day long.
At this time, a Black Robe Person pushed Song Luyao's wheelchair to Hall of General Affairs. Song Changsheng quickly stood up to greet him, "Ninth Aunt, why are you here?"
Song Luyao glanced at the Jade Slip piled up on the desk and said, "I just received the news that Yulong and the others have arrived at Ling Province, but they encountered a little trouble on the way."
"What happened?" Song Changsheng's face darkened. Song Yulong was the one responsible for escorting [Foundation Establishment Pill] this time. Lineage had been paying attention to the other party's news, but he did not expect that something went wrong in Ling Province's territory.
"There is an unidentified person who is chasing them. There is a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator on the other side. They are not opponents. They are fighting and retreating at the moment."
"Unidentified people?" Song Changsheng said with a cold light in his eyes, "Where are they now? I will go there myself."
"At Dingfeng Gorge!"
