Back then, in order to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he ran to the Law Enforcement Hall several times, so he was already very familiar with this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After explaining his intention to the Carefree Sect disciple on duty, after waiting for about a stick of incense, the cultivator who went to report came out and brought Song Qingming into the Law Enforcement Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two Foundation Establishment cultivators on duty in the hall, one old and one young, Song Qingming didn't hide anything and soon told the whole story of Song Qingze's murder, wanting to ask the Carefree Sect's Law Enforcement Hall to help clarify this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Learning that several disciples in the sect were missing and one inner sect disciple had been murdered, the Carefree Sect's Law Enforcement Hall also attached great importance to it and hurriedly began to send disciples to inquire about this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Song Qingming reported this matter, he patiently returned to the restaurant in Yangshan Market to wait for the results of the Carefree Sect's Law Enforcement Hall's inquiry. Since he had come this time, he couldn't just come in vain. Taking advantage of his leisure time, Song Qingming walked around Yangshan Market and collected some second-grade talisman-making materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After alarming the Carefree Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, this matter soon had a clue. A few days later, Song Qingming, who was staying at the inn in the market, received a summons from the Carefree Sect's Law Enforcement Hall and came here again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the door this time, besides the two Foundation Establishment cultivators who had entertained him earlier, two more Foundation Establishment cultivators were sitting on the side. One of them, a very young white-clothed man, hurriedly got up and greeted Song Qingming after seeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Song, do you still recognize me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! It's Fellow Daoist Bai. You and I are already people of the same path, so don't call me Senior anymore. Let's call each other Fellow Daoist from now on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the very familiar face of the person coming, Song Qingming instantly remembered this person's identity. He was the second-grade array master of the Carefree Sect who helped the Song family's Funiu Mountain upgrade its spiritual vein, Bai Yunhua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, when Song Qingming asked him to go to Qinghe County, this person's cultivation was still at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Now that twenty years had passed, Bai Yunhua had also become a second-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator. In comparison, his status had long been worlds apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Song Qingming asked him to go out of the mountain to Qinghe County, this person's cultivation was still at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Now that twenty years had passed, Bai Yunhua had also become a second-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator. In comparison, his status had long been worlds apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Song, our Law Enforcement Hall has already found some clues about the death of Junior Brother Qingze. He went to Black Stone Valley with several sect disciples and then disappeared. A total of six people went, including him. The situation of the others is the same as his, and they haven't returned to the sect since then. However, they didn't leave any soul lamps in the sect, and we don't know their life or death situation yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Black Stone Valley, what did Third Brother go there for? Was it a task assigned by the sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Song Qingze went to Black Stone Valley with others, Song Qingming was also very surprised, really unable to figure out why Third Brother went there with others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Stone Valley is located in the west of Wei Kingdom. That place was once a dead land of absolute spirit created by an ancient battlefield. For hundreds of miles around, besides giant stones burned to charcoal, let alone people, there wasn't even a single demonic beast. It was a dead land without any vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not it. Fellow Daoist Song also knows that that place is a land of absolute spirit. The sect has no industry in the vicinity, so it is impossible to send disciples to perform tasks in the vicinity. The reason they went there this time is because someone said they found an ancient cultivation cave dwelling near Black Stone Valley and wanted to go there to seek opportunities, so they invited Junior Brother Qingze and others to explore together. This matter was found out by our law enforcement team yesterday from two disciples who were not persuaded by them to go together. According to what the two of them said, the place mentioned by the two disciples who invited them was near Black Stone Valley. Because the two of them didn't agree to participate later, they only knew this much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for what changes Junior Brother Qingze and the others encountered after leaving the sect, it is still unknown. After several senior brothers and I discussed it yesterday, we plan to go to Black Stone Valley together today to investigate the truth of this matter, so as to comfort the spirits of several junior brothers in heaven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming nodded and said, \"In this way, it will take some time to clarify this matter. I don't know why several Fellow Daoists invited me here today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yunhua heard this and exchanged glances with the others before saying, \"Inviting you here today, Fellow Daoist, is also to ask you for a favor, to go to Black Stone Valley with us to find the place where several junior brothers fell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This! Although I have been cultivating for some years, I haven't cultivated any secret method for finding people?\" Hearing that Bai Yunhua wanted to call him along, Song Qingming suddenly felt somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Carefree Sect's law enforcement team rarely lets outsiders participate in tasks. Even for a Foundation Establishment cultivator with some strength like Song Qingming, the Carefree Sect's law enforcement team is unlikely to look down on him. Like today, to search for the whereabouts of several Qi Refining disciples, being able to gather four Foundation Establishment cultivators to act together is already completely enough, so there is no need for Song Qingming to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Song, it's like this. The disciples who disappeared this time are all Qi Refining stage cultivators and didn't leave soul lamps in the sect. It is very difficult to determine their specific location just by relying on some items used during their lifetime. This time, we discussed and planned to use Senior Brother Wang's blood-line connection secret method to search. This requires a close relative of the missing person. Inviting you here today, Fellow Daoist, is to hope that you can help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Bai Yunhua finished speaking, another middle-aged man who was slightly older stepped forward and said, \"This method requires taking some essence blood from the cultivator's body to lead the way. Losing essence blood will affect the future cultivation of cultivators with too low cultivation. However, it doesn't matter for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Fellow Daoist Song. Losing this bit of essence blood will basically have no impact on your current cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Song Qingming finally understood. Originally, he thought they had clarified the investigation when he came, but after listening to Bai Yunhua for a long time without any results, he was already puzzled in his heart. Only now did he know their purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a while, Song Qingming didn't want to reject the Law Enforcement Hall's face like this, so he nodded and agreed to their proposal, following them to search for the missing Carefree Sect cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he agreed so readily was mainly for Third Brother Song Qingze. In any case, they were brothers, and Song Qingming also hoped that he could know the truth of his death sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>",1366,"2026-06-14T03:09:35.509Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","70e9fc405a85f8c9c11a7675d7d731af06d49a891f7e4682a549cad7d4721173","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-265","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-263",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
