Chapter 180

Huang family, in the Mount Taiyuan Council Hall.

Huang Shengyue, the Huang family ancestor whose injuries had almost recovered, was listening to the reports of the news they had collected in the past few days from several family elders below.

"Ancestor, the group of rogue cultivators who broke through Mount Duanliu has been found out. Their leader drifted over from the Zheng Kingdom three years ago and had always been in Pingyang County before. He had not dealt with the cultivators of the Gao and Lu families. On the surface, it seems that they have nothing to do with them."

Huang Shengyue frowned and snorted coldly: "Their two families acted so quickly this time, they must have been prepared long ago. They will not leave any evidence for us in this kind of thing. It is estimated that those pawns they used up have already been dealt with cleanly by them.

Withdraw everyone who is still near Mount Duanliu. For the time being, our most important thing is to guard Mount Taiyuan well. Put the matter there aside and wait until the patriarch comes out of closed-door cultivation."

Seeing that the ancestor at the head had already made a decision, although several Huang family elders were a bit unwilling, they didn't dare to express their opinions on the spot and nodded one after another.

"On the Song family side, they have all shrunk back to Mount Funiu these few days. Song Qingming should not have returned yet. It has been so many days, it is estimated that he is really in bad luck. I even suspect that the person sent by the Song family that day said Song Qingming was not dead, maybe they were lying to us. It is possible that the Song family wants to cover up this news for the time being." Another Huang family elder followed up with worry.

Huang Shengyue nodded and sighed: "Continue to watch Mount Funiu. Whether what the Song family said is true or not, the news that Song Qingming is still alive is also very important to us. If he really has a big life and escapes back, the Song family can at least help us share some pressure and let the Gao and Lu families restrain themselves a little."

"Ancestor..."

The Huang family has indeed been a bit unstable recently. Since learning that the family ancestor Huang Chengliang fell outside, many people have begun to panic. Added to the fact that Patriarch Huang Shengxin went into closed-door cultivation not long after returning, only Huang Shengyue was left to face these annoying trivial matters.

Added to the fact that the Gao and Lu families found out about the Huang family's failure outside this time, they couldn't help but start taking action directly, making Huang Shengyue busy and overwhelmed at the moment.

"Let's stop here today. If you have any news, you can go directly to the back mountain to inform me. Now it is an extraordinary period. You must all remind the clansmen outside to be vigilant. Never let the Gao family and the others succeed so easily again."

After the few people below nodded and were about to retreat, an old man standing at the very back hesitated for a moment and then said: "Ancestor! Yesterday Xianchen went down the mountain to Qinghe Market. It is estimated that he went to find Siyuan. I only learned about this early this morning. You see how we should deal with this matter next."

"No matter what, Siyuan also made sacrifices for our family. If she is willing to come back, you all don't have any opinions. In short, our Huang family is still here, and it is not to the point where we can't even protect a small Qi Refining cultivator like her."

In Qinghe Market, looking at the streets that had become much emptier, Huang Siyuan shouted to Li Quan helplessly, just wanting to close the door and stop business in advance. Unexpectedly, at this time, a somewhat decadent middle-aged man suddenly walked into the entrance of Xianfeng Pavilion, interrupting her arrangement.

"Father, why did you come to the market?"

Seeing that the person coming was her father Huang Xianchen, whom she hadn't seen for almost two years, Huang Siyuan was full of surprise and hurriedly invited him to the private room on the second floor.

As soon as he sat down, Huang Xianchen anxiously went straight to the point and said: "Siyuan, I came here this time to ask you if you want to move back and live for a few days."

"Back to the Huang family? I am already a member of the Song family. Where is there a place for me in the Huang family?" Huang Siyuan said helplessly.

Hearing the sadness in his daughter's words, Huang Xianchen said slightly awkwardly: "I know you still have resentment toward the family, and it's all my fault for being useless as a father. It has really been hard for you all these years."

"Father, daughter has never blamed you all these years. I actually live well here. Look, my cultivation hasn't fallen behind those geniuses in the family much, so you don't have to worry about me too much."

"Siyuan, you probably don't know yet. Song Qingming went to the Fuyun Mountain Range with a few ancestors in the family this time, and something big happened. Until now, only two ancestors of our family have returned to the family. Not only did Chengliang ancestor fall outside, but even Song Qingming went missing.

The Gao family and Lu family have already started taking action against our Huang family a few days ago. The Song family is now also in danger and can't protect itself. The entire Qinghe County may be about to change. I am really a bit worried about you staying here alone."

Seeing that Huang Siyuan didn't seem to understand his purpose, Huang Xianchen hurriedly said everything he knew in one breath.

After listening, Huang Siyuan poured a cup of water for Huang Xianchen without haste, smiled slightly, and then said: "I actually knew some of this a few days ago. I know you want to pick me up for my own good, but I am already a member of the Song family now. If I run back to the Huang family suddenly when there is a disturbance, how will the Song family people look at me in the future when Song Qingming returns?"

"Sigh! How can you be so confused? Even our Chengliang ancestor fell there. Song Qingming must be in bad luck this time. Moreover, if the Song family really treated you as one of their own, why would they leave you alone in Qinghe Market? I have already inquired that except for one shop where someone lives, everyone else in the Song family has withdrawn to Mount Funiu. They never treated you as one of their own at all."

"Father, daughter's cultivation has already broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining. I don't need to stand behind others and seek protection all the time. No matter how cruel this cultivation world is, daughter will have to face it sooner or later. If God really wants to test me to grow in adversity, I think my wings can be fuller faster.

Whether it's the Huang family or the Song family, even if they send someone to invite me, I don't want to go anywhere. This Xianfeng Pavilion is my home. Moreover, there is at least Senior Lu in Qinghe Market. Ordinary people still don't dare to mess around here casually. You really don't have to worry about me too much."

After Huang Siyuan finished speaking, she stood up and walked out firmly, ignoring her father who was still stunned.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Huang Xianchen didn't continue to stay here, shook his head, and left Xianfeng Pavilion.

"Xueyan, daughter has really grown up and doesn't need a mediocre father like me much anymore."

——

Deep in the Fuyun Mountain Range, in the secret realm.

Song Qingming, covered in sweat, paced back and forth looking at the small river full of boiling poison gas in front of him, and occasionally inhaled with some confusion. What should he do now?

Crossing this small river and walking forward for about a hundred miles, he could find the valley he was going to. Today is already the third day stipulated by Hearing Huo Feng. If he still can't cross this river quickly, Song Qingming will definitely not be able to reach his destination this time. What he needs to face next is really unimaginable.
