Lineage currently has Great Elder taking care of it, so Song Changsheng just made some arrangements for the future development of Market, and then drove Flying Boat to Sunset City.
This trip is not only to welcome back the remains of the tribe and mentor, but also to find out the current situation of Bianzhou in order to profit from it.
Although Lineage's spies are all here, their cultivation and status are limited, so they are destined to be of little use. If you want to get more and more useful information, you still have to come personally from Song Changsheng...
Twelve days later, Song Changsheng, who had traveled all the way to the Sunset Mountain Range, arrived at the Sunset Mountain Range. Looking at the dilapidated scene in front of him, he felt like a world had changed.
A few years ago, when he followed Song Luhai to the Sunset Mountain Range for the first time, he was deeply shocked by the magnificent glow of the Sunset Mountain Range.
But now, due to the Golden Core Cultivator war, Sunset Mountain Range was shattered, and the glow was overflowing. The thousands of miles of clouds and clouds that were once known as the most amazing sight of Great Qi Cultivation World have completely become a thing of the past.
"Oh, everything has changed in just a moment." Song Changsheng was slightly emotional, but more worried about Lineage's future.
If the strength is not strong enough, sooner or later, Song Clan will become a passing cloud like this thousands of miles of clouds.
Song Changsheng stood on the bow of the boat, looking past the dilapidated Sunset Mountain Range, past the magnificent city, and landed on the rolling Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
The end of Demon Race is not an opportunity for the Song Clan to rise...
Sunset City, which had gone through a great battle, was now even more dilapidated than Sunset Mountain Range. The tall and majestic city wall was full of gaps and mottled bloodstains, all silently telling the tragedy of that battle.
Xu Yunhe held his sword on the city wall, and the cold wind hit his face, making him feel a biting chill.
After the war, Sunset City lifted the blockade, but Xu Yunhe did not choose to leave. He would use this opportunity to fulfill his inner ideals and ambitions.
"Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, I'll be here soon." Xu Yunhe whispered, and when he was about to turn around and leave, a speeding Flying Boat came into his sight.
And he also saw a familiar figure on the head of the boat. A long-lost smile appeared on his face. He jumped up and turned into a sword light and left.
Song Changsheng on Flying Boat "smelled" the breath of Xu Yunhe from far away. Looking at the sword light coming towards his confidant, a warm smile appeared on his face. He held his hands in the distance and said loudly, "Brother Yun He, it's been a long time!"
"Hahaha, Changsheng, one day without seeing you is like three autumns. I didn't expect you to be Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator. I really put Xu to shame."
Xu Yunhe looked at Song Changsheng with a look of envy in his eyes. He recalled that when they first met, Song Changsheng's cultivation level was the lowest among them. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the other party has already surpassed everyone.
"It's just good luck. Have you been with Bianzhou all these years?" Song Changsheng smiled reluctantly. His strength has indeed improved very quickly in these years, but how many people can understand the hardships involved.
"Yes, I have been practicing at Bianzhou in the past few years."
"Is there any news about Fellow Daoist Zhu?" Since the last time we were separated, Song Changsheng has not heard from Little Fatty for several years, which always makes him feel worried.
Xu Yunhe heard this and shook his head and said, "No, Fellow Daoist Zhuang and I have been inquiring about Fellow Daoist Zhu these years, but he seems to have disappeared from the world, and there is no news at all."
Perhaps seeing Song Changsheng's worry, he then comforted him, "Don't worry, no news is good news. That guy cherishes his life more than anyone else, so he will definitely be fine."
"I hope so, let's go to the city first."
The two entered the city hand in hand. Song Changsheng looked at the deserted streets and the piles of ruins that had not yet been cleared, and couldn't help but said, "I remember that Demon Beast didn't invade the city, right?"
"Yes, although Array has been breached several times, Demon Beast has never set foot inside the city.
These are all good things done by Blood Demon. I don't know what crooked tricks they used to sneak into the city by bypassing City Protection Great Array.
Fortunately, the city lord left a backup force and did not let their conspiracy succeed, but the battle was so brutal that half of Sunset City was reduced to ruins. "Xu Yunhe's tone was a bit sad. He was a witness to that battle. Even thinking about it now, he can't help but feel a little scared.
If the city lord hadn't arranged the back-up plan in advance, and if Blood Demon Sect's conspiracy had succeeded, Demon Beast of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains might have swept the entire Great Qi Cultivation World by now.
After hearing this, Song Changsheng clenched his fists tightly, Blood Demon, Blood Demon again, these bastards are everywhere!
Taking a deep breath to calm down his turbulent mood, he looked at Xu Yunhe and said, "Brother Yun He, does he know how the remains of the fallen monks in that battle were handled?"
At this time, Xu Yunhe also noticed something strange about Song Changsheng. After thinking about it carefully, he said, "I think it was Fellow Daoist Zhuang who led the people to restrain themselves. In order to prevent Evil Cultivator from taking advantage of him, most of the remains were cremated.
If you have relatives and friends who are in the city, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to collect the ashes and relics by showing proof. If your relatives are not in the city, Sunset City also sent out the news after the blockade was lifted, and you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to collect them on your own. "
Song Changsheng felt even more sad after hearing this. Didn't he even leave his body behind?
But he can also understand what Sunset City is doing. If so many corpses are placed together, and Remnant Soul and Killing Intent gather together, it is very likely that corpse transformation will occur.
There is also the possibility of being taken advantage of by someone with bad intentions, so cremation is inevitable.
"Brother Yun He, to tell you the truth, Song came here this time to welcome back the remains of his tribe and mentor. Now that there is news, I am very anxious, so I will excuse myself for now."
Although he could see Song Changsheng's urgency, Xu Yunhe still pulled him and said, "Changsheng, there are many people coming and going to the City Lord's Mansion recently, and there has been a long queue.
We might as well ask Fellow Daoist Zhuang first to see if she can do anything. After all, she was the one who presided over the restraint of the body. "
Song Changsheng thought about it and found that he was a little anxious. There were so many people now and he didn't know how long he would have to wait in line.
"Okay, then please ask Brother Xu to contact Fellow Daoist Zhuang for me. Let's have a good gathering at Heavenly Immortal Restaurant tonight."
"We said goodbye. We haven't gotten together for several years. Fellow Daoist Zhuang will definitely be very happy to know that you are here. I will contact you right away." Xu Yunhe left with a smile on his face.
In the evening, Song Changsheng booked a room in Heavenly Immortal Restaurant, ordered a table of dishes, and waited for the two of them to arrive.
After waiting for about half an hour, Xu Yunhe walked in with Zhuang Yuechan in a plain skirt. Her face was still covered with a thin veil, and her face could not be seen clearly, but her eyes were full of exhaustion.
"Yuechan is late. Fellow Daoist Song has been waiting for a long time."
"It's okay, why is Fellow Daoist Zhuang so tired?" Song Changsheng quickly asked the two of them to sit down and said with some confusion.
"It's not because of the Coalition Army, Brother Song should also have received the news. Several True Person planned to use force against the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and Bianzhou naturally became the bridgehead of the attack.
Sunset City has become the frontline base camp. Monks from all forces have been arriving these days. Fellow Daoist Yin Shang is responsible for receiving them, and Fellow Daoist Zhuang is assisting from the side. "Xu Yunhe explained.
"Yes, this time we Sunset City are responsible for guarding the rear and transporting supplies for the Coalition Army. We have been very busy these days." Zhuang Yuechan stretched out her fingertips and rubbed her temples. She was troubled by all kinds of trivial matters these days, which made her very annoyed.
Song Changsheng was moved in his heart and said, "I wonder when the True Persons plan to officially attack?"
"The discussion has actually started. The monks from the Golden Crow Sect and Heavenly Meridian Sect are now heading towards Black Water Great Marsh and Thunderous Mountain.
After capturing these two places, the remaining troops of the Coalition Army will gradually move into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, and then gradually attack various places until the entire Hundred Thousand Great Mountains is under control. "Zhuang Yuechan explained patiently.
"Hundred Thousand Great Mountains currently has four Demon King. I'm afraid this process won't go smoothly, right?"
The previous battle was Human Race's home field, but now the offense and defense have changed. Human Race has stepped into Demon Beast's territory, and you can even think of the price to pay with your toes.
Zhuang Yuechan nodded silently. There is no war without death. Fortunately, Sunset City does not have to be on the front line this time.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang, Mr. Song came here to ask you for a favor. I wonder if you are convenient recently?"
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Song. Yuechan already knows your purpose. I'm deeply sorry for this matter. If we could discover Blood Demon Sect's conspiracy in time, maybe we wouldn't..."
Zhuang Yuechan's eyes showed guilt. Speaking of which, she was partly responsible for the death of Song Xiantu and others. After all, she was responsible for maintaining law and order in the city that day.
"No one wants to see something like this happen, Fellow Daoist Zhuang don't blame yourself."
"The remains and relics of several fellow Daoists Song Clan are currently placed in the Ice Palace under Heavenly Sound Mountain. Fellow Daoists can pick them up at any time."
Song Changsheng had a look of surprise in his eyes when he heard this. He did not expect that Zhuang Yuechan would deliberately preserve the remains of Song Xiantu and others in Heavenly Sound Mountain.
Gratitude appeared on his face, he stood up and bowed deeply to Zhuang Yuechan, solemnly saying, "Thank you Fellow Daoist Zhuang, Song owes you a favor."
"Fellow Daoist Song, you don't have to do this. It's just a little effort." Zhuang Yuechan waved her hands repeatedly. She was already full of guilt. How could she deserve Song Changsheng's gift?
"Okay, okay, please stop being so polite. It's rare for us to get together and have a drink together." Xu Yunhe said with a smile on his face while holding the wine glass.
"Okay, come on, this is the improved [Monkey Wine], let's see if it's any different from before." Song Changsheng took advantage of the situation and served two people, and several people pushed cups and changed cups, and had no sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Song Changsheng followed Zhuang Yuechan to Heavenly Sound Mountain and brought out the bodies of Song Xiantu, Sun Chuanming and others. Seeing how many people were lying in the cold Ice Coffin, Song Changsheng felt like his heart was blocked.
"Elder, teacher, I'm late." Song Changsheng whispered silently in his heart. He really wanted to take them back to Vast Peak for burial now, but he knew the purpose of his trip better. Lineage's interests always come first.
After returning to the inn, Song Changsheng used his authority to summon all Lineage Wind Whisper Hall spies hidden in Sunset City to listen to the information they obtained.
Most of them Song Changsheng already knew from the mouths of Zhuang Yuechan and Xu Yunhe. Only two points attracted Song Changsheng's attention.
One is that news recently spread that a seriously injured Great Demon appeared near the Griffon Mountain Range, attracting many people to encircle and suppress it.
The second is a rumor. It is said that after the vanguard of the Coalition Army invaded Thunderous Mountain, someone discovered an ancient ruins and is now cracking the peripheral Array.
Regarding the first news, Song Changsheng was not surprised. After all, in the previous battle, although many Great Demon were killed on the spot, there were also many who escaped, and it was not surprising that some were seriously injured.
But the second one is a bit intriguing. As we all know, Ziyu Realm was originally Tianxia of Demon Race. Human Race could not bear the oppression, rose up to resist, and finally captured a vast habitat.
Great Qi Cultivation World is located at the southernmost end of the Human Race territory, directly bordering Demon Race.
In other words, Hundred Thousand Great Mountains has always been the territory of Demon Race. So, where did these so-called ancient ruins come from?
Although the gossip cannot be taken seriously, Song Changsheng believes that there is no smoke without fire.
He looked at the burly man in front of him and said, "Immediately go find out about the ancient ruins. Be sure to be careful and comprehensive. If you have any gains, you can come here to find me."
"I obey!" The burly man bowed and turned into a cloud of gray mist and blended into the shadows...
"Great Demon..." After the man left, Song Changsheng gently tapped the handrail, thinking in her heart.
There is no doubt about the value of a Great Demon. Not to mention the materials on it, let's talk about the Demon Core. The value to the Song Clan is inestimable.
Great Demon Song Changsheng who was in peak condition would definitely be walking around, but it was different for the one who was heavily injured and hiding everywhere. If possible, Song Changsheng would naturally want to get involved.
He has three pieces of [Earth Element Divine Thunder] on him, which is enough for the other party to drink a pot.
After a while, he made up his mind to join in the fun and called Xu Yunhe in the next room.
Xu Yunhe was drunk a lot by Song Changsheng yesterday, and since he didn't use Spiritual Power to resolve it, his head is still a little groggy now.
But when he heard what Song Changsheng was going to do, he suddenly woke up and said in shock, "Fellow Daoist Song, are you kidding?"
"Of course not." Song Changsheng looked serious.
Xu Yunhe immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist Song, do you think I can Great Demon swallow it in one gulp?"
"Don't worry, I already have a plan in mind on how to deal with Great Demon. I asked you to come with me just to be safe.
After all, I am here to make a profit, not to die. "Song Changsheng glanced at Xu Yunhe and said.
Seeing that Song Changsheng's attitude didn't seem to be hypocritical, Xu Yunhe was at war with Celestial Person in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's try it. Should we call Fellow Daoist Zhuang?"
"Fellow Daoist Zhuang has been busy with errands recently. You and I should not disturb her too much. It's just the two of us and we'll set off now."
"Okay, you wait while I get ready."
Half an hour later, the two of them left the city and headed towards the Griffon Mountain Range...
