Chapter 411

After Song Qingming answered this, he looked at He Mengxin with some doubt, as if waiting for her next sentence.

However, He Mengxin didn't seem to feel the strangeness on Song Qingming's face and continued to ask, "How exactly did this Liu family offend the Xiaoyao Sect back then? Does Fellow Daoist Song know about this?"

"It is said that someone informed the sect that the Liu family was privately hiding a spiritual object that was very important to the Xiaoyao Sect. However, as for what it was, I have only heard some rumors and am not very clear about it."

"When the Liu family of Mount Jingyuan encountered disaster, I was just a small Qi Refining cultivator who had not been in the Dao for long, and I only had a half-understanding of the specific details of what happened back then. However, I can be sure that the destruction of the Liu family was ordered by a Core Formation Elder of the sect. Mount Jingyuan is still under the name of the Xiaoyao Sect as a forbidden area, and usually, no cultivators dare to go there."

"Then, does Clan Leader Song know who the informant was?" After He Mengxin said this, she suddenly turned around and stared straight into Song Qingming's eyes, as if wanting to see something in them.

"I know. After this person informed back then, he joined the Xiaoyao Sect directly. However, he died at the hands of demonic cultivators many years ago, and I happened to be there at the time. If you want to find him, you don't need to waste the effort." Song Qingming replied directly with a blank expression.

After talking for so long, Song Qingming had already guessed some of what He Mengxin wanted to say. From her various abnormal actions since she arrived at Mount Funiu, Song Qingming was already a bit suspicious of her background. Now, hearing her ask these questions, Song Qingming had roughly guessed He Mengxin's identity.

During the battle to hunt the second-grade monster in the Fuyun Mountain Range back then, Song Qingming had gained a lot of benefits, so it was naturally fresh in his memory. However, the Liu family had been destroyed for so many years, and Song Qingming really didn't expect that there would be a cultivator from the Liu family who had escaped this disaster and succeeded in Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, He Mengxin looked to be about the same age as Song Qingming, and their cultivation levels were not much different now. When the Liu family incident happened, she should have been about twenty years old. If she really was a cultivator who escaped from the Liu family back then, and could wander outside for many years and succeed in Foundation Establishment to return to Qinghe County, this woman's experiences over the years were probably unimaginable to ordinary people.

After hearing Song Qingming's answer, after a long while, He Mengxin, whose face was full of sorrow, slowly turned to look into the distance, where the direction of the Liu family's Mount Jingyuan was.

Song Qingming stood blankly beside her and didn't speak again. Although the destruction of the Liu family was exposed because Du Yucheng informed, in the end, it was the Xiaoyao Sect, the hegemon that had dominated the State of Wei for thousands of years, that ordered the eradication of the Liu family.

The cultivation world has always respected strength. The powerful Xiaoyao Sect occupies almost all the high-grade cultivation resources in the State of Wei. Those high-ranking Core Formation and Nascent Soul ancestors naturally do not allow the low-grade cultivators below to touch their interests.

Even if He Mengxin now has the cultivation of the late Foundation Establishment stage, she is still not enough in front of the huge Xiaoyao Sect. If she wants to change the fate of the mortals in front of her and revive the Liu family, she is not qualified enough.

It has been almost eighty years since the destruction of the Liu family. Most of the cultivators who experienced this back then, whether it was Du Yucheng, the culprit who informed the Xiaoyao Sect, or the cultivators from several families who participated in the battle of the Fuyun Mountain Range, have mostly passed away or fallen. There are not many people left alive.

The cultivators of the Liu family back then were all sent by the Xiaoyao Sect to the Huoyan Mountain in the southern part of the State of Wei to do hard labor in mining veins. Cultivators who work in such places for a long time have a lifespan that is 20% to 30% shorter than ordinary cultivators. There should be no surviving cultivators left now.

After the two stood for a long time, the group of children playing at the entrance of the village slowly discovered them. However, seeing two strange adults, they still didn't dare to come forward. Only a cute little girl of five or six years old, who seemed to know He Mengxin, ran towards her happily.

"Fairy Sister, last time you said you wanted me to be an immortal. Are you here to pick me up today?"

He Mengxin watched the little girl run to her, and the originally sorrowful expression slowly squeezed out a smile. After gently wiping the corners of her eyes, she nodded to her.

"Clan Leader Song, I see that this child has some immortal affinity and I like her very much. I want to take her away tomorrow. Can you make it convenient for me?"

Song Qingming looked at the little girl and also noticed a vitality in her that was hard for ordinary people to feel. It looked like she was a child with spiritual roots.

"According to the decree passed down by the Xiaoyao Sect back then, mortals of the Liu family are not allowed to ascend to immortality within a hundred years. However, if you want to take this child away from the State of Wei today, then the Xiaoyao Sect will naturally not be able to control future matters. Since this child has an affinity with you, it is her good fortune. Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will arrange her family's affairs in the future."

"Then I will thank Clan Leader Song first." After He Mengxin finished speaking, she suddenly bent down and bowed to Song Qingming.

Seeing this, Song Qingming hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "It's just a small effort, Fellow Daoist He, don't be so polite. Our cultivation is low, and this is all we can do. If you want to control your own destiny in this cultivation world, you still need to cultivate hard."

"Clan Leader Song, Mengxin has been taught."

Early the next morning, He Mengxin took Song Qingyu and the two of them quietly down Mount Funiu. This time, the three of them left in a hurry, and Song Qingming did not specifically notify other clansmen. Only he himself came to the foot of the mountain to see them off.

After the four of them walked a few miles together, He Mengxin looked at the morning sun that had already risen in the sky, took the initiative to stop, and turned around to arch her hands at Song Qingming with a smile.

"Clan Leader Song, even a thousand-mile journey must come to an end. Qinghe County is a place with beautiful scenery. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely come again. Let's just send it here today!"

"Seventh Brother, with Sister He here, you can rest assured. I will pay attention to safety."

Looking at Song Qingyu's confident appearance, Song Qingming smiled and nodded, then took out a few second-grade talismans from his storage bag and put them into her hands.

"Qingyu, don't be stubborn when you encounter things outside. Listen more to Fellow Daoist He. No matter what difficulties you encounter, remember, coming back is the most important thing."

Looking at the few shining talismans in her hand, the touching words Song Qingyu wanted to say reached her lips but couldn't be spoken. After a while, she nodded gently and put them into her storage bag.

Watching the two sword lights fly into the sky and slowly disappear into the horizon, Song Qingming stood in place and looked at the beautiful scenery around him again. After a stick of incense, he turned into a sword light and left the place.

It's almost New Year. I hope everyone can return home for a reunion soon. No matter what difficulties you encounter outside, coming back is always the most important thing!
