Chapter 382

"At most two years, my Song family will be able to produce an expert at the second layer of the Heavenly Origin stage."

Song Yuhua looked at the Zhu Yan Fruit with spiritual energy rippling, his eyes full of eagerness.

The Song family's experts had been falling one after another recently, and the other families in Qingyang City already had a trend of being ready to move. It was impossible to cultivate a few Marrow Cleansing major completion experts in a short time.

But as long as the ancestor Song Yushao could break through to the second layer of the Heavenly Origin stage, no family would dare to act rashly by then.

"Xu Yang, you deserve to die!"

Thinking of Xu Yang, who had caused all these consequences, Song Yuhua felt another surge of killing intent in his heart. If it weren't for Xu Yang's failure to save them, how could the Song family have suffered so many losses of experts and lost a spiritual weapon foundation?

Unfortunately, Xu Yang was too clever and simply wouldn't leave the Purple Sun Gate.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a roar like thunder exploded in the entire villa, the roar of the Scarlet Flame Tiger that everyone was familiar with, but it was louder and more powerful than ever before.

In the sound, besides the tyrannical emotion, there was also a kind of joy and excitement.

"Eh?"

Song Yuhua, who was about to water the Zhu Yan Fruit with beast blood, showed a look of confusion. No matter how he listened to the Scarlet Flame Tiger's sound, he felt something was wrong.

"Not good, the Scarlet Flame Tiger has broken free from its restraints."

The next moment, a voice full of fear tore through the entire villa.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger broke free from its restraints?

Song Shihua’s expression changed drastically!

The beast blood of the Scarlet Flame Tiger was the key to the growth of the Vermilion Flame Fruit. Once there was a problem with the Scarlet Flame Tiger, it would inevitably affect the growth of the Vermilion Flame Fruit.

If the Vermilion Flame Fruit had problems, the ancestor Song Yushao’s promotion to the second level of Heaven Origin would also be affected.

The most serious thing was that the entire Cloud Perch Villa would suffer destruction. By then, the Cloud Perch Villa that the Song family had managed for two hundred years over several generations would turn into ruins. This was absolutely a major event that would shake the foundation of the entire Song family.

"Everything was fine, how could the Scarlet Flame Tiger break free from its restraints?"

Song Shihua felt suspicious, but he dared not be negligent and roared: "Quickly send a signal, invite Ancestor Yushao!"

If the Scarlet Flame Tiger broke free, it would be useless even if everyone in Cloud Perch Villa died; they could only invite Song Yushao to descend.

Fortunately, the Song family had long anticipated such things. They had set up hidden agents to transmit information every two or three miles between Qingyang City and Cloud Perch Villa, so the matter could be transmitted to Qingyang City in an instant.

"Boom!"

A huge firework exploded over Cloud Perch Villa, and the sound traveled several miles away.

The next moment, another signal firework exploded in the distance.

"Everyone follow me to the beast arena; we must not let the Scarlet Flame Tiger escape."

Song Shihua could not care about watering the Vermilion Flame Fruit, dropped the large bucket, and his entire body’s gang qi erupted as he flew toward the location of the scarlet red beast.

Just as he left, a figure like a ghost flew in from afar.

Xu Yang scooped up the Vermilion Flame Fruit from the small tree and stuffed it into a prepared jade box without hesitation. Without stopping, he rushed toward the location of the other two spirit herbs.

"Roar!"

The Scarlet Flame Tiger’s roar was like thunder, deafening.

When Song Shihua rushed to the cave where the Scarlet Flame Tiger was imprisoned, he saw that the spirit iron chain locking the Scarlet Flame Tiger’s neck had already snapped, and only three of the chains locking its four limbs remained.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger, with flame patterns all over its body, was going mad, using its toothless mouth to bite the remaining chains, acting as if it had gone insane and only wanted to break free, even though its limbs were already dripping with blood.

The dozens of Song family disciples there were turned pale by the Scarlet Flame Tiger’s formidable ferocity and all dared not approach.

Song Shihua’s pupils shrank. Looking closely, he discovered that those broken chains were not snapped by immense force, but cut by a blade, the cuts as smooth as a mirror.

This was done by a person!

"Be careful, someone has infiltrated the villa, hurry and protect the spirit herbs!"

He realized what was happening and roared sternly, his eyes full of murderous intent scanning the crowd, wanting to find the suspicious person.

……

Qingyang City, Song Family!

"Boom!"

A huge roar sounded outside the city. At first, not many people paid attention, until they saw the exploded fireworks form a large "Song" character in the firmament!

This was the Song family’s unique distress firework, corresponding to different events based on different colors.

"Clang, clang..."

Soon, nine urgent bell tolls rang out in the Song family.

Song Shirong, who was handling affairs in the study, had his expression change drastically. Nine bell tolls meant that something had happened at Cloud Perch Villa that required Ancestor Song Yushao to come and handle it personally.

Matters requiring Ancestor Song Yushao to handle personally were inevitably major events that endangered the foundation of the Song family.

"Ancestor, something has happened at Cloud Perch Villa!"

Song Shirong rushed out of the study and found that the entire Song family was in chaos, with everyone completely unsure of how to respond.

Suddenly, an immense aura erupted from deep within the Song family, and terrifying blood and qi instantly shrouded the entire Song family.

"Boom!"

The next moment, a roof exploded, and Song Yushao, with light surging all over his body, emitted a monstrous pressure, flying out like a god breaking through a house.

"You all follow later!"

Song Yushao’s imposing voice rang out. By the time his words fell, his figure had already disappeared from the sky above the Song family, moving away like a stream of light.

A Heaven Origin martial artist already had the ability to fly briefly.

Seeing this, Song Shirong breathed a sigh of relief.

With Ancestor Yushao taking action, the matter should be resolved quickly.

"You all follow me; the rest guard the family well. If anyone comes to commit an offense, kill them without mercy."

After pointing at a few Marrow Washing martial artists and making simple arrangements, Song Shirong took these people and left the Song family to rush to Cloud Perch Villa.

The Song family had an incident!

With nine bell tolls and the movement of Song Yushao breaking through the air, the major forces in Qingyang City soon knew that the Song family had an incident.

It was just that no one knew what had happened, only that it was definitely not a small matter for a Heaven Origin expert to be dispatched.

"Someone, go find the Second Elder and have him send people to the Song family to probe for information on what exactly happened to the Song family." The head of the Ding family spoke.

At the same time, other top families in Qingyang City made similar moves, wanting to figure out what exactly had happened to the Song family.

……

Cloud Perch Villa!

The Scarlet Flame Tiger was still struggling. Even though the taut chains had already made its paws a bloody mess, it did not stop.

Having been imprisoned for over a decade, it finally had a chance to break free and would not be afraid because of the intense pain.

"Elder, what should we do?" Someone looked at Song Shihua.

The formidable exotic beast, comparable to a Heaven Origin martial artist, even after being imprisoned by the Song family for over a decade and bled daily, had not lost a bit of its ferocity. Even Song Shihua, whose cultivation was at the Great Completion of Marrow Washing, could not withstand the Scarlet Flame Tiger’s ferocity to get close.

Moreover, the Scarlet Flame Tiger’s neck and one leg were now free of restraints; even if Song Shihua could withstand the pressure to get close, he would only be a meal for the Scarlet Flame Tiger.

"We can only wait; Ancestor Yushao should arrive soon!" Song Shihua said in a deep voice.

The Scarlet Flame Tiger’s ferocity was monstrous and its physique was strong; he was completely helpless.

"Elder, it’s bad. The Vermilion Flame Fruit and the other two spirit herbs have all been picked by someone."

Just then, the person guarding the spirit herbs returned and told Song Shihua the news that the spirit herbs had been stolen.

"Beast!" Song Shihua’s eyes were about to split upon hearing this.

The other members of the Song family were also furious upon hearing this.

The other two spirit herbs were fine, as they were not very old, but the Vermilion Flame Fruit was the key to Ancestor Yushao’s breakthrough to the second level of Heaven Origin. At this precarious time, this was simply digging up the roots of his Song family.

"Dig three feet into the ground if you have to, but find the person; he is still in the villa." Song Shihua shouted sternly.

"Elder, what about the Scarlet Flame Tiger?" Someone asked.

"Don't worry about it; the Scarlet Flame Tiger won't be able to break free for a while. The Vermilion Flame Fruit is more important."

They were just watching here; if they couldn't find the Vermilion Flame Fruit, what was the use even if the Scarlet Flame Tiger was fine.

"Bang!"

But just as Song Shihua’s voice fell, they heard the sound of a chain snapping.

He looked back in horror and saw that of the remaining three chains, one had been snapped by the Scarlet Flame Tiger.

There was a tiny cut at the point of snapping, obviously having been sabotaged.

"Not good!" Song Shihua’s expression changed drastically.
