Chapter 430: Are You Well?

This black-robed person attacking Mount Funiu for no reason, with most of his face covered and his features unclear, truly left the Song family members feeling puzzled. Over these years, the Song family's conduct in Qinghe County could be considered quite upright, and they didn't know when they had offended this person, causing the other party to come knocking on their door.

After being temporarily forced back by the "Green Wood Cloud Smoke Formation", the black-robed person did not stop there. Turning around and changing direction, he immediately killed his way toward an accurate position in the smoke again. This time, the momentum emanating from his body was even more ferocious than just now, as if his cultivation had also instantly improved quite a bit.

Facing such a sudden and sharp attack from the black-robed person, the expressions of Song Xintang and the others immediately became serious. They hurriedly injected their magic power into the formation flags in their hands with all their might, once again summoning three wooden thorns to block in front of them.

This time, the flying sword in the black-robed person's hand suddenly had a change in mid-air and began to rotate rapidly, soon forming a very sharp gale that directly pierced a large hole through the several wooden walls blocking in front of Song Xintang and the others, even causing Song Xintang and the others who were controlling the formation to be knocked over by the aftermath.

Fortunately, the power of this gale seemed to be short-lived, and it dissipated on its own soon after passing through the last layer of the wooden wall; otherwise, Song Xintang and the others might have suffered quite a few casualties.

"Senior, my Song family is at least a reputable Foundation Establishment immortal clan in this Qinghe County. If there is truly any place where we have offended you, Senior, just say it. We will definitely not be ambiguous about offering apologies."

"You came knocking on our door for no reason, attacking people as soon as you saw them—this is truly not taking us seriously at all. Could it be that you really think my Song family has no one?"

Just as Song Xintang and the others were defeated, a huge green wolf puppet beast jumped out from the Song family's mountain-protecting formation, blocking in front of the black-robed person. The one who spoke just now was Song Qingsi, who was controlling one of the puppet beasts.

This puppet beast was precisely the Swift Wind Beast that Song Qingming had brought back from the Lu Kingdom years ago. Later, because there were better substitutes, Song Qingming left it in the clan's Golden Treasury Pavilion and handed it over to Song Qingsi to manage.

This Swift Wind Beast only requires two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators to control, and its attack can also pose a certain threat to Foundation Establishment cultivators, with strength equivalent to half a newly Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Not only that, just as Song Qingsi controlled the Swift Wind Beast to come outside the formation to confront the black-robed person, a very harsh cry suddenly came from mid-air. A huge figure, two or three zhang wide, suddenly appeared in mid-air, staring tightly at the black-robed person on the ground.

This huge figure in mid-air was precisely the Sky Fire Roc that had been hiding in the back mountain of Mount Funiu for many years.

Ever since Song Qingming helped it promote its bloodline and break through to become a second-tier demon beast years ago, the Sky Fire Roc had been supported by the Song family on Mount Funiu all these years and rarely went out to hunt for food on its own. Now, it could be considered the mountain-protecting spirit beast of the Song family.

Although the Sky Fire Roc had only broken through to become a second-tier spirit beast for a few decades and its cultivation was still stuck at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, its bloodline was powerful, and it naturally possessed several innate abilities. Ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were no match for it.

Seeing the Sky Fire Roc appear, the Song family members were all invigorated and took the initiative to walk out of the formation. With the Sky Fire Roc, the clan's protective spirit beast, present, even if the opponent's strength was somewhat extraordinary, adding everyone together would certainly be enough to beat back this black-robed person.

One side was a mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivator with extraordinary skills, and the other was the entire Song family's defensive force on Mount Funiu. The situation on the scene seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, and a great battle was about to occur.

However, the scene that followed caused everyone present to drop their jaws in shock.

After circling in mid-air for a few laps, the Sky Fire Roc suddenly dived rapidly toward the black-robed person standing on the ground, took the initiative to land beside the black-robed person, and let out a few joyful cries toward her.

In the astonished expressions of the Song family members, the mysterious black-robed person also took the initiative to put away the flying sword in her hand and directly tore off the black robe she was wearing, revealing a somewhat graceful figure.

"You are... Qingyu!"

Seeing the true face of the black-robed person, Song Qingshi, who was standing among the Song family members, immediately recognized her, and an exclamation couldn't help but escape his lips.

Song Qingyu gently stroked the Sky Fire Roc, turned around, and walked quickly toward Song Qingshi's side, smiling and greeting everyone.

Seeing that the visitor was Song Qingyu, who had been away from home for many years without returning, the Song family members immediately showed a hint of joy on their faces.

"Tenth Aunt, you really scared us to death by attacking your own mountain gate as soon as you came back." The one speaking was Song Xintong, who had just been in charge of the Golden Treasury Pavilion and promoted to a clan elder. This time, Song Qingyu impersonating a strange Foundation Establishment cultivator to attack Mount Funiu truly gave her a real fright.

Song Qingyu smiled and looked at Song Xintong and Song Xintang not far behind her, speaking calmly: "On the way back, I heard people say that Seventh Brother is not on the mountain now. I didn't know if it was true or false, so I came here myself to test it out. Since he hasn't come out for so long, it seems what those people said should be true."

"How come there are no secrets kept on the mountain anymore? Seventh Brother going out is such a big matter, and in just over a month, the whole Qinghe County knows about it. Can't you even keep this little thing a secret? What would you do if someone really took the opportunity to attack the mountain?"

Hearing Song Qingyu suddenly say this, the Song family members put away their smiles just now and looked at each other in dismay.

Song Qingyu looked at Song Xintang in the crowd and continued calmly: "The clan's Law Enforcement Team has indeed improved quite a bit over these years. However, you can only control second-tier low-quality formations after all. When encountering a true Foundation Establishment expert, these are all useless. Don't be so reckless in the future."

"Thank you, Aunt, for your instruction!"

——

Qinghe Market, in the Immortal Phoenix Building.

Song Xinhu and Li Hongyu, who were busy, had just sent away a wave of guests when a waiter in the shop ran quickly toward them.

"Shopkeeper, Madam, an Immortal Master just came to the private room downstairs. He said he wants to find you and also said he is your old acquaintance, asking you to go over quickly together."

"Old acquaintance? What old acquaintance? These days are truly full of strange things. Even someone like me who stays in this market all day long has started to have old acquaintances."

Saying so, after dismissing the waiter, the couple Song Xinhu still piled up smiling faces and came to a private room on the first floor.

As soon as they entered the room, Li Hongyu saw a somewhat familiar figure sitting in front of a large dining table, looking at them happily.

"Hongyu, Xinhu, it's been many years. Are you well!"
