They plan to use an empty shop in the market that has no business to exchange for our best-located shop. Isn't this blatant robbery?\" Law Enforcement Elder Song Changxiong said while angrily slapping the table in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingwan said somewhat depressed: \"Thirteenth Uncle, now the Gao family is powerful, and the Supreme Elder is missing. We sent a letter to the Huang family three days ago, but there is still no news back. They must also not intend to manage this matter. We can't help but bow our heads. This matter cannot blame Sixth Uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know this matter cannot blame him, but I just feel suffocated in my heart. It's uncomfortable not to say it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Changxin, what do you think about this?\" The family head Song Changfeng, sitting at the top, asked the Merit Elder Song Changxin, who had not said a word from the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the eyes of the people at the scene turned to him, Song Changxin said calmly: \"Since the Gao family is powerful, we should bow our heads if we should. Qingming is not here. Just relying on us to keep these industries is almost impossible. In the cultivation world, in the final analysis, strength is respected. These people in our eyes are really too weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The several Song family elders at the scene heard Song Changxin speak so bluntly, and their faces also became a bit ugly. But none of them opened their mouths to refute. Although these words were a bit cruel to them, they were indeed the iron rules of the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just the first step of the Gao family testing them. Next, the Gao family would find opportunities to slowly get their hands on all the Song family's industries in Qinghe Market. As long as Song Qingming, this Foundation Establishment cultivator, did not show up, most of the Song family's industries would sooner or later be taken by others. This point, the elders of the Song family who had experienced many things, were naturally well aware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changfeng nodded and said: \"Everyone knows that the Song family can have today mainly because of the influence brought by Qingming's Foundation Establishment, not my credit as a family head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the Gao family is powerful, and even the Huang family has chosen to avoid the limelight first. Changxin is right. Even if we don't bow to the Gao family now, we can't stop these things from happening. Instead, it is possible to be used by the Gao family to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, doing it for the Huang family to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a moment, send a message back to the Gao family. Three days later, we will send someone to Qinghe Market to discuss with them specifically how to hand over this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe Qingming that kid is lucky and can turn bad luck into good luck this time.\" Seeing that the family head had already made a decision, the elders didn't open their mouths again. Only Song Changxiong insisted a bit unwillingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changfeng looked at Song Changxiong, who was still a bit excited in the distance, sighed and said: \"Thirteenth Brother, I am also willing to believe that Qingming will be fine, but we cannot gamble with the fate of the clansmen. Taking a step back now, at least the Gao family will not turn against us immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To revitalize our Song family, relying on us now is definitely not enough. Having no strength of one's own and pinning hope on others will not last long. I have already decided. No matter what happens next, I will go into closed-door cultivation to try Foundation Establishment. When I go into closed-door cultivation, Changxin will act as the family affairs for me first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixth Brother, don't be impulsive...\" Everyone heard that the family head actually wanted to go into closed-door cultivation to force Foundation Establishment, and they all showed a look of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Song family head, Song Changfeng is now over eighty years old and has long passed the best age for Foundation Establishment. Besides, the Song family now has no Foundation Establishment Pill, and the probability of success can be said to be minimal. A slight carelessness could even cost his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changfeng smiled indifferently and said: \"Cultivators seek the Dao, nothing more than living toward death. I have been plain all my life, and I always feel that I lack a bit of courage. I am not an impulsive person, and you don't have to persuade me anymore. Now that Qingming is not here, it should be my turn as the family head to do something for the clansmen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later, at the foot of Funiu Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming just returned. Before he entered the mountain-protecting array, he suddenly saw a figure moving not far below, seemingly wanting to escape from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is it, sneaking around here?\" Song Qingming shouted, then turned the sword light and flew down to intercept the cultivator who was trying to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man wearing a yellow Daoist robe, seeing Song Qingming suddenly flying toward him, hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: \"Senior Song, spare my life, I am just passing by here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Passing by? Which family's cultivator are you?\" Song Qingming frowned and asked again with some displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow-clothed man rolled his eyes and replied: \"I am a loose cultivator, just passing by...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kid is really not honest. Do you think I don't know you are here to monitor the Song family? Before I get angry, hurry up and tell me your identity honestly.\" Song Qingming changed the subject, interrupted him coldly, and his words also began to emit a bit of displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Song, please calm your anger. I am Gao Yulong, ordered by the elders in the family to send a letter here, and by the way, see when Senior Song returns. I have no intention of being unfavorable to the Song family. Please Senior Song to see clearly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the powerful pressure emitted by Song Qingming, the yellow-clothed man hurriedly admitted his identity in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao family's people, how long have I been away, these people's hands are really reaching fast. Hearing this person report his name, Song Qingming instantly knew who sent him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that this kid was just a minion arranged to monitor, Song Qingming didn't want to make things difficult for him and kicked him away directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Song Qingming stepped on the flying sword and turned around Funiu Mountain again, scaring away several figures hidden nearby. Song Qingming didn't care about these people. He knew that these people were either Huang family or other nearby family cultivators. Forcing them out was actually to tell them that he had returned and there was no need to monitor here anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the Song family cultivators on Funiu Mountain also discovered Song Qingming and hurriedly went to notify the family head Song Changfeng and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that there was no one monitoring Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming stepped on the flying sword and landed on Funiu Mountain swaggeringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heaven has eyes, ancestors protect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changfeng and others saw Song Qingming return safely, and they were all excited, sighing one after another. During this period of time, they learned the news of Song Qingming's disappearance, and they had been tense, not relaxing for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After greeting everyone, Song Qingming directly asked Song Changfeng: \"Sixth Uncle, has the Gao family sent someone over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changfeng nodded and handed a letter directly to Song Qingming: \"Sent by the Gao family a few days ago. Gao family head Gao Jinhe invited us to Qinghe Market to discuss some things in the market. Since you have returned safely, I think it is better for you to decide this matter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1342,"2026-06-14T03:09:34.521Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","453906b0760c6b0100d08fbe8ae8a0cb5fe7be2e14a8cc1652efe54a5d82ba65","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-189","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-187",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
