He had just rushed here, and what he saw was the terrifying scene of Song Yushao nearly being cut in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His Song family’s anchor, his pillar of support, was now being killed until only half a life remained, having lost the ability to fly and falling helplessly from mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Shirong felt as if the sky had collapsed, his heart filled with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next moment, he saw a domineering figure, golden all over, emitting a majestic aura, soaring into the sky with a sea of blood, the sharp blade intent seeming to want to slash through the firmament.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xu Yang, spare my life!\" Song Yushao shrieked, begging for mercy: \"Spare me, and the Song family will be at your beck and call from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He didn't want to die; he hadn't lived enough. What dignity of a Heaven Origin martial artist—in the face of a life-and-death crisis, it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xu Yang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Shirong’s face turned white in a flash, his body trembling uncontrollably. Only then did he remember that what Xu Yang cultivated was exactly the Golden Gang-Qi, which matched the figure about to kill Song Yushao before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xu Yang broke through to Heaven Origin and even suppressed Ancestor Yushao? Killing Ancestor Yushao until he begged for mercy?\" Song Shirong’s face was filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The mud-legged person he hadn't looked at before had actually made his Song family’s pillar of support beg for mercy. He had brought a monstrous disaster to the Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Song Shirong regretted it deeply, regretting that he had vented his anger on the unrelated Xu Yang because of the death of his beloved son Song Wenxuan, provoking such a genius and bringing a monstrous disaster to the Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xu Yang, spare my ancestor, and the Song family will agree to any request!\" he couldn't help but shout, sparing no cost to save Ancestor Yushao’s life and preserve the Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If this matter wasn't resolved, the Song family would be wiped out in the blink of an eye. Even if there were still bloodlines alive, they would be reduced to the bottom, unable to regain their glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Only when you are dead will I be at ease!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang’s voice carried a chill, his gaze cold, staring at the pleading Song Yushao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The glorious Heaven Origin ancestor of the Song family was now panicked, his face ashen, his eyes filled with the desire to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He didn't hesitate at all, the Clear Water Blade turning into a cold light and sweeping across Song Yushao’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Puchi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The golden blade light swept across Song Yushao’s neck as easily as cutting tofu. His head, eyes wide open, flew high into the air, and his headless corpse’s blood surged like a spring, falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ancestor...\" Song Shirong’s voice was hoarse, his liver and gallbladder splitting with grief.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Song family’s anchor, their pillar of support, had fallen, paying the price for his arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it weren't for his thinking that he could vent his anger on Xu Yang because of his beloved son’s death, there would never have been such a tragedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Song family was finished!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Shirong trembled all over, feeling a sense of powerlessness, his body nearly collapsing to the ground, his hands and feet cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ancestor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This beast killed the ancestor, fight him to the death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Song family elites who had just arrived here were splitting with rage. Some impulsive ones had already flown into the sky, wanting to fight Xu Yang to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, run!\" Song Shirong roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The ancestor was already dead; no matter how many of them went, it was just sending themselves to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang watched these Song family elites with a calm gaze, the Blood Prison Imagery behind him disappearing, and he slowly raised his hand to slash out a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The golden blade Qi tore through the air, as fast as thunder, irresistible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Two jumping Song family disciples were cut in half while still in mid-air, the golden blade Qi sweeping past like a silk ribbon and landing in a group of Song family disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The golden blade Qi exploded, submerging everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The earth roared, dust rolled, and when the dust dissipated, there were severed limbs and arms everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You...\" Song Shirong’s face turned pale, feeling cold air rising from his whole body, his body swaying as if about to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Me what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang descended from mid-air, and a thumping sound came from beside him; Song Yushao’s fallen corpse splashed dust on the ground, creating a deep pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xu Yang, I was wrong. I shouldn't have vented my anger on you because of my son’s death. Spare me, and from now on, all the people and resources of the Song family will be at your disposal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Shirong knelt on the ground without hesitation, begging in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He couldn't die; if he died, the Song family would truly be finished. Although it was humiliating to attach himself to a mortal enemy with a deep blood feud, the Song family would eventually have a chance to rise again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You don't know you were wrong; you know your Song family is about to be finished!\" Xu Yang walked over leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Right and wrong didn't matter at all; martial artists always talked about fists, not right and wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Shirong trembled all over, hurriedly saying: \"But killing me won't do you any good. If you keep me, the two hundred years of the Song family’s foundation will be resources on your cultivation path. Anyway, the Song family and I are no longer a threat to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang was unmoved!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Purple Sun Sect had plenty of cultivation techniques. As for resources, he was already at the Heaven Origin realm, and spirit medicines didn't have much effect on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for spirit medicines and such, once he slaughtered these people, he would go to the Song family to take them himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Want to attract me with resources? Unfortunately, I understand the principle of cutting weeds and removing roots. You can go on your way with peace of mind; your ancestor is waiting for you underground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Song Shirong turned and fled without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Can you escape?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang raised his hand, and the golden blade Qi flew through the air, instantly landing on Song Shirong’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Puchi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His body, cut in half, fell down, spilling blood and internal organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Shirong’s eyes widened, and he died immediately after hitting the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang let his mind cover the entire Yunqi Manor, and after confirming there were no survivors, he began to clean up the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was a lot of loot: one spirit weapon, two half-spirit weapons, nearly ten thousand taels of silver notes, over a dozen stalks of decades-old ginseng, tiger bone vine, pure Yang grass, and dozens of other rare medicinal herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He took away all the medicinal herbs he could use, finally filling a full bag; he couldn't even calculate how much it was worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Packing up everything, Xu Yang left Yunqi Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Song family!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, an hour had passed since the call for help from Yunqi Manor, and Song Shirong and Song Yushao had not returned. The Song family was already in a panic, and the two remaining peak Marrow Cleansing martial artists could no longer sit still.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You go to Yunqi Manor and take a look!\" Song Yuting said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was the person in the Song family with the second-highest seniority after Song Yushao, and could be considered an ancestor-level figure, having lived for nearly a hundred years and guarding the family treasury all year round.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Opposite him was the Song family’s last peak Marrow Cleansing expert, Song Shiqing. The two were only a dozen years apart in age and were also experts who had been responsible for guarding the family treasury all year round.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Shiqing shook his head: \"No, if Ancestor Yushao can't handle it, it’s useless for me to go. You and I must not separate at this moment, giving the enemy an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Don't worry, with Ancestor Yushao coming forward personally, there won't be any trouble at Yunqi Manor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A Heaven Origin ancestor, in the territory of the Purple Sun Sect, could walk sideways, so to speak. Perhaps something they didn't know had happened to delay them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Song Yuting frowned: \"Still, send someone to take a look. Don't talk about those juniors; even my heart is a bit uneasy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The ancestor and the family head were both away, the future family head was dead, and several other peak Marrow Cleansing experts had also died. Without a backbone, it would be strange if the hearts of such a large family weren't in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It’s all that beast Xu Yang!\" Song Shiqing snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it weren't for Xu Yang causing the Song family to lose so many peak Marrow Cleansing experts, the hearts of the people wouldn't be in such chaos just because of a little trouble at Yunqi Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although the two of them were there, they had long since stopped managing things and couldn't pacify the hearts of the people.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The most important thing was that Ancestor Song Yushao had gone and not returned, and everyone was worried that the ancestor had had an accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This child must die without a doubt. Even if we can't kill him in the Purple Sun Sect, once he ascends the dragon and enters the Heavenly Strategy Academy, we can let Yingjie kill him.\" Song Yuting’s eyes were filled with cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His Song family’s son-in-law, Han Yingjie, was the first of the previous Purple Sun Sect’s Top Ten, and his talent was even greater than Xu Yang’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fine, I’ll go arrange it,\" Song Shiqing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was actually anxious too, also worried that Song Yushao had had an accident, because according to Song Yushao’s temperament, if he hadn't been entangled by something, it was impossible for him to stay in the outer sect for so long without returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Shiqing stood up, just about to arrange for someone to go to Yunqi Manor to check the situation, when a shout suddenly came from the outer gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Enemy attack, there are enemies coming in.\" The warning sound rang throughout the Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Damn it, there really is someone who wants to fish in troubled waters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Shiqing was filled with murderous intent, not caring about arranging for someone to go to Yunqi Manor to check, and rushed out of the room with Song Yuting, carrying half-spirit weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What kind of rat dares to come to my Song family and be presumptuous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Yuting roared, his aura rising, and he saw a masked figure flying over from a distance like a sharp arrow, aiming directly at the gate of the Song family treasury.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Thief, how dare you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Song Shiqing shouted sharply, stepping on the ground with his toes, his figure soaring into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>",1853,"2026-06-16T12:17:43.130Z","2026-06-17T08:54:06.718Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d0e7c53e2128bafc8b7aae1d4f143429e514d7f28ecfe4a2fa7709a5cc7f70f0","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-389","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-387",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
