Hearing Song Zhong's words, Shuijin was shocked. She knew what it meant to not have Scholar Ecstasy's Spiritual Sense imprint. This meant that the two Spiritual Channeling Cardinal Treasures no longer belonged to Scholar Ecstasy. They had become ownerless items again. Generally speaking, only a cultivator who was two or three levels higher than the other party could forcefully erase the Spiritual Sense imprint after seizing the other party's Spiritual Sense imprint.
In other words, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's Spiritual Sense imprint could only be erased by a Nascent Soul Cultivator. As for a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator's Spiritual Sense imprint, it took a long time to refine and its grade was also high. Hence, it required at least a Mahayana Stage cultivator to erase it.
And now, with just a flash of golden light from the copper bell, the Spiritual Sense imprint in the Spiritual Channeling Cardinal Treasures had been erased. It was too terrifying. Even Shuijin could not believe it and asked, "Senior Brother, is that really so?"
"See for yourself!" Song Zhong said as he passed the two Spiritual Treasures to Shuijin. Shuijin took them and examined them carefully. Then, she exclaimed, "As expected, Scholar Ecstasy's Spiritual Sense imprint has been completely erased. Moreover, the Spiritual Sense of these two Spiritual Channeling Cardinal Treasures has been trapped by a Chaotic Force. Hence, they are now in a confused state and cannot fly away on their own! Aiya ~ "
Shuijin suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother, since the Spiritual Sense of the Spiritual Channeling Cardinal Treasures has been trapped, then if someone were to go in and rescue them at this time, wouldn't it be easy to gain their trust and make them recognize you as their master?"
"I am not very sure either!" Song Zhong shrugged and said, "But what you said makes sense. Why don't we give it a try?"
"Give it a try? How do we test it? "ShuiJing asked in confusion.
"Hehe, you can take it and try it slowly!" Song Zhong said as he kept the Sun and Moon Flags. Then, he said, "I will take the Sun and Moon Flags and give them to Siyun and Siyu to get over the shock. I will give this emerald jade bracelet to Junior Sister!"
"Ah, how can I accept this!" Shuijin's pretty face flushed red when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "I can't accept a reward for nothing, I can't accept Senior Brother's gift!" As she spoke, she wanted to return the treasure to Song Zhong.
"Aiya!" Song Zhong impatiently waved his hand and said, "Junior Sister, with our relationship, do you still need to care about these things?"
"What do I have to do with you?" When Shuijin heard this, she could not help but feel jealous as she said, "Han LingFeng, Siyun, and Siyu are the ones who are related to you!"
"Heh heh, you're jealous!" SongZhong chuckled.
"Nonsense!" ShuiJing immediately retorted in frustration.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around!" Song Zhong then handed the emerald jade bracelet to Shuijin again, and said earnestly, "Junior Sister, you know my heart!"
Shuijin was finally moved by Song Zhong's words. Looking at this man whose face was filled with sincerity, what else could she say? She could only helplessly sigh and say, "Sigh, I'm afraid I owed you in my previous life!"
As she said that, ShuiJing kept the treasures slowly. As she kept the treasures, it was as though she had forgiven SongZhong for his unfaithful actions. Thus, when SongZhong saw this, he was extremely happy, knowing that he would be able to continue cultivating with ShuiJing in the future.
After Shuijin kept the treasure, she gently tidied her hair that had been messed up by the wind, and said, "The Xuanji Dao Sect won't do anything to you in the near future, but the Thousand Desire Demon Sect will definitely not let this matter rest. It's extremely dangerous for you to stay here, so you should quickly hide in the branch monastery!"
"En! I understand! " Song Zhong nodded and said, "In any case, I've already saved her, and I don't have anything else to do here. After I return to the Eastern Sea and settle all the messy matters, I'll immediately go to the Xuantian Monastery to look for you!"
"Alright, then I'll take my leave first!" Shuijin said indifferently. She was an extremely carefree person, and after speaking, she left without any hesitation.
After watching Shuijin leave, Song Zhong let out a long sigh, and then kept the Golden Dragon Boat, and flew back alone.
~ ~ ~ I ~ ~ am ~ ~ ~ a ~ ~ ~ ~ and ~ ~ ~ a ~ ~ ~ ~ line ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Several days later, Song Zhong returned to the Eastern Sea once again. At this time, news of his deeds had already spread to the Eastern Sea, and it could be said to be world-shaking. Jin Dan Elixir had beaten a Severed Spirit Stage expert to a pulp. Who wouldn't be shocked? Regardless of whether it was Lei Shan 'er or the old butler, they all looked at him with admiration. As expected of the Emperor's Bloodline with the River Diagram Divine Mark, his strength was too terrifying.
However, Song Zhong did not feel anything. The purpose of his visit this time was to bid farewell to the Eastern Sea. This was because this world was too dangerous for him. The old butler and Lei Shan 'er knew that Song Zhong had gotten himself into big trouble, and naturally, they did not dare to keep him. However, they both expressed that they were willing to continue serving Song Zhong. Hence, Song Zhong entrusted the Crown Prince Island to the old butler, and let him manage it on his behalf.
The old butler's task was still to collect the fragments of various treasures. Even if Song Zhong did not come personally, he would send someone to collect them from him.
As for Lei Shan 'er, Song Zhong simply handed over the tens of thousands of miles around the headquarters of the Eastern Sea Alliance to her to manage. To a Class 5 demonic beast, her territory was no worse than that of a Class 6 demonic beast. If not for Song Zhong's face, no one would have agreed.
Furthermore, on the way, Song Zhong also settled the matter of the Sun Moon Twin Flags. He let SiYu and SiYun try to subdue them. In the end, after a few days of hard work, the two ladies actually gained the trust of the two treasured flags, and became their respective owners. From a low level Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator to a cultivator with limitless potential who possessed a Spiritual Treasure.
As for Han LingFeng, she was naturally extremely envious. However, Song Zhong would not favor one over the other. Hence, he gave her the Class 9 treasure, the Heaven Escaping Mirror, which he obtained from attacking the headquarters of the Eastern Sea Alliance.
Although this treasure was not a Spiritual Treasure, it was of a very high grade, and had a high possibility of becoming a Spiritual Treasure. To Han Ling Feng, it was more suitable because she would have a long time to slowly nurture and upgrade this treasure. Once it became a Spiritual Treasure, nurturing one's own Spiritual Treasure would naturally be more suitable than snatching one. Hence, Han LingFeng did not have any complaints, and only went into seclusion, determined to cultivate the Great Dao.
Song Zhong saw that her strength was almost there, and gave her a few Five Elements Tranquil Lotus, telling her to consume it when she had the chance, to raise her talent and strength.
After settling all these miscellaneous matters, Song Zhong did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly bid farewell to the old butler and Lei Shan 'er, and stepped on the road to the Xuantian Monastery.
After a few days, Song Zhong arrived at the Xuantian Monastery, and after meeting up with Shuijin, they did not dare to delay, and immediately sat on the newly repaired teleportation array, and flew to the higher Spiritual World. Song Zhong's only regret was that Monkey and Qing Feng Zi were both in seclusion, and he did not have time to bid farewell to them.
Not long after Song Zhong left, a few Spirit Severing Stage cultivators came to the East Sea, and they wreaked havoc there, killing many demonic beasts. Although they were chased away by a large number of demonic beasts, they still used evil methods to obtain the news that Song Zhong had already gone to the Xuantian Monastery.
The group of experts did not dare to delay, and immediately chased to the Xuantian Monastery. Mister First naturally knew their intentions, and without hiding anything, told them that Song Zhong had already gone to the Higher World.
Although this news made these experts extremely angry, there was nothing they could do. Because they were all Spirit Severing Stage cultivators, according to the rules, they were not allowed to make a move on the Xuantian Monastery of this world. Otherwise, they could also kill the low-grade disciples of the Lower World, and at that time, no one would be able to gain anything, and it would even cause public outrage. Hence, they could only return empty-handed.
After Song Zhong and Shuijin left the Xuantian Monastery, the next moment, they came to a place with bright sunlight. Song Zhong opened his eyes and realized that they were actually at the top of a small mountain that was a few hundred feet tall. Although this small mountain was not tall, it was surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.
Moreover, as soon as they appeared, Song Zhong could feel the dense Spiritual Qi in the air, and it was actually more than two to three times higher than the Xuantian Monastery. As expected of a world with abundant Spiritual Qi.
After Song Zhong and Shuijin slightly adapted to the environment, he could not help but smile and say, "This is a good place, indeed much better than the place we stayed in before!"
"Yes, this is the treasure land that practitioners dream of!" Shuijin could not help but exclaim.
Song Zhong then looked around and found that there was no one guarding this place, and there were no restrictions or tactical formations nearby. He could not help but frown and say, "How important is the teleportation formation? Why is there no guard here? Is our strength in this world so strong that we don't need to guard this place? "
"Ha, ha, that's not it!" ShuiJing said with a smile, "Senior brother, you've made a mistake this time. How is this place not guarded? It can be said to be an iron bastion! It's just that you didn't notice it! "
"Is that so?" Song Zhong hurriedly looked around again and even used his Divine Sense to explore, but he still found nothing. He could not help but frown and say, "Junior Sister, are you kidding me? There is no defense here at all! "
"Ha, ha, Senior Brother, there are people coming and going here, and sometimes there are outsiders visiting. If we put up layers of protection with great fanfare, wouldn't it be a joke?" Shuijin said with a smile.
"Then why did you say that this is an iron bastion?" Song Zhong immediately asked in confusion.
"Of course, this is an iron bastion, but you didn't see it!" Shuijin then pointed to the distance and said, "Look around, this is a circle of mountains, which just happens to form a ring, surrounding this place. As for those mountains, they were filled with restrictions and formations. As long as someone dares to break in, this ring of mountains with a radius of hundreds of miles will immediately form an extremely powerful tactical formation, completely trapping the person inside to death! Therefore, this place is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It is indeed an iron bastion! "
Hearing this, Song Zhong hurriedly looked into the distance and found that the surrounding mountains were faintly foggy, hiding murderous intent. Obviously, there was something fishy. Then he exclaimed, "My goodness, just for a Transmission Device, they set up a big tactical formation with a radius of hundreds of miles. This is bigger and stronger than all the tactical formations in the headquarters of the Xuantian Monastery!"
"Ha, ha, this is a more advanced Spiritual Realm, with more resources and more masters. Of course, they can be so extravagant!" After Shuijin finished speaking, she suddenly changed her expression and said, "Someone is coming to pick us up!"
Sure enough, a figure suddenly flew from the distance and came in front of Song Zhong and Shuijin in the blink of an eye. It turned out to be a Jin Dan Taoist in indigo. After he came here, he immediately asked, "Who are you?"
"Greetings Senior Brother, we are disciples from the next batch!" After Shuijin finished speaking, she passed him a piece of jade and said, "I am here to look for my Master!"
When the indigo Taoist saw that Shuijin, who was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, dared to call him Senior Brother and not Martial Uncle, his expression turned ugly. He reluctantly took the piece of jade and looked at it. He was shocked and immediately put on a smile and said, "Aiya, so it is Hall Master Mei's disciple, sorry for the disrespect!"
"You flatter me!" Shuijin hurriedly returned the greeting.
That cultivator then said to Song Zhong, "Then this little brother is?"
"This one is Song Zhong!" Song Zhong said politely.
"Ah! Song Zhong! " This time, he was even more shocked and actually exclaimed, "You are the Song Zhong who destroyed the Jade Pearl Pavilion and Thousands Desire Sect?"
"Eh ~" Song Zhong laughed bitterly and said, "That seems to be me! How did you guys know about that matter? "
"That matter?" When the indigo Taoist heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Do you know that the Jade Pearl Sect flew into a rage because of this matter? Three FenShen Stage experts personally came here to denounce us. Our side tried to argue, but in the end, we quarreled and fell out on the spot. In the end, everyone left on bad terms! Furthermore, because of you, Martial Uncle Hong, who is known as the Fierce Huolong, even chopped off one of Huolong Daoist's arms. Our Xuantian Branch hasn't had a case of a fellow disciple killing each other for thousands of years. This is all because of you! Right now, your reputation in our Xuantian Branch is like thunder to the ears! "
When Song Zhong heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry and appeared extremely awkward. Shuijin covered her mouth and laughed by the side.
Thankfully, the indigo Taoist knew that he had said too much and hurriedly stopped himself. Then, he laughed apologetically and said, "Haha, look at me. Once I start talking, there is no end to it. You guys are looking for your elders, right? Then, follow me! "
As he spoke, he brought Song Zhong and Shuijin and flew out. As he flew, he explained, "Our Xuantian Branch has nine great halls. The Xuantian Branch's headmaster is in charge of the main hall. The others are all secondary halls. Junior Sister Shuijin, your master lives in the Plum Blossom Temple. It's over five thousand li in that direction. "As he spoke, he pointed in a direction to Shuijin.
Then, the indigo Taoist said to Song Zhong, "Junior Brother Song Zhong, you should be looking for the Hong Clan's Raging Inferno Temple. It's four thousand li in that direction!" As he spoke, he pointed in a direction to Song Zhong.
Then, he said, "We don't have any bad rules here. You guys can go and find it yourselves. There's no need for me to report!"
When Song Zhong and Shuijin heard this, they knew that this was an order for them to leave. They hurriedly bid farewell to the other party and set a date to meet in the future. Then, they flew to their respective destinations.
After Song Zhong and Shuijin parted ways, they immediately flew on their swords and met many cultivators along the way. They were all very friendly and greeted each other from afar. They were much more humane than the people of the Xuantian Monastery. Moreover, Song Zhong discovered that the strength of the people here was generally very high. The lowest level was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. There were also many Jin Dan cultivators, and he even saw a few Nascent Soul cultivators. It was clear that they were indeed powerful.
It didn't take long for Song Zhong to fly four thousand miles and arrive at a plateau with a radius of over a thousand miles. There were towering ancient trees everywhere, and the scenery was extremely enchanting. There were often many majestic palaces built on top of the mountains.
Song Zhong asked someone for directions and soon found the palace that the Hong couple lived in. It occupied an area of dozens of acres. Although the place was not small, in fact, there were only a hundred people living in it. When they heard that Song Zhong had arrived, the Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the door did not dare to be negligent. He led him inside and sent someone to report.
A quarter of an hour later, Song Zhong saw the Hong couple in a side hall. He did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly went over to greet them.
After some pleasantries, the three of them sat down again. The Hong couple looked at Song Zhong with a satisfied expression.
Old Man Hong smiled and said, "You brat, why are you only here now?"
"Hmm?" Song Zhong was slightly stunned and asked curiously, "Why? You don't know? Didn't Shuijin send you any news? "
Old Man Hong immediately said, "Nonsense, ever since we separated from you last time, we haven't received any news from you. That girl Shuijin also didn't tell us anything."
"Uh, maybe she wanted to give you a surprise!" Song Zhong scratched his head and said, "Disciple has done another small thing recently? That's why I was delayed! "
Although Song Zhong said that it was a small matter, the Hong couple did not dare to think so. They hurriedly asked what it was.
Song Zhong did not dare to hide anything. He told them in detail how he went to the meeting alone a few days ago, how he destroyed two flying boats, how he forced the Ice Soul Goddess away, and how he captured Scholar Ecstasy alive.
As the Hong couple listened, they were both dumbfounded. After waiting for Song Zhong to finish, Old Man Hong said in shock, "You said you captured a Spirit Severing Stage expert alive? Kid, you're not fooling me, are you? "
"It's true!" Song Zhong said and threw the unconscious Scholar Ecstasy out of his life space.
The Hong couple hurriedly went over to check. Although they did not know Scholar Ecstasy and this guy was still unconscious, they could still judge his cultivation from his physical body. He was indeed a Spirit Severing Stage expert.
The Hong couple immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and then looked at Song Zhong as if they were looking at a monster. This caused SongZhong to feel embarrassed.
After a while, Old Man Hong did not know whether to laugh or cry and said, "It's really the new generation replacing the old. We are all old!"
"Look at what you said. You are old but strong!" Song Zhong hurriedly comforted him.
"Don't try to comfort me! Compared to you, I'm just a scum! " Old man Hong shook his head bitterly and scolded, "To think that a talent like you would be chased out of the sect by that dog Daoist HuoLong. That old b * st * rd, he is really a b * st * rd!"
Seeing this, Madam Hong hurriedly persuaded, "Alright, alright, it's all in the past! Don't mention it again! "
"Past my ass!" Old Man Hong said angrily, "Those bastards from the Huo Family are still nagging about it, trying their best to stop Song Zhong from returning to the sect. They even used their family's connections, pressuring the dean to the point that he had no choice but to reconsider! Can this be called past? "
"Hehe, with this Scholar Ecstasy, it's all in the past!" Madam Hong said unhurriedly, "As long as this person is handed over, it's equivalent to slapping the Huo family in the face. I'd like to see how those guys still have the face to stop Song Zhong from returning!"
"Hehe, that's true!" Old Man Hong was delighted when he heard this and hurriedly said, "I'll send him over now!"
"Wait, wait!" Madam Hong pulled Old Man Hong and said, "Don't send him over now. Isn't there a formal meeting to discuss this matter in a few days? Let's not make it public first. When they're at their proudest, we'll take out Scholar Ecstasy and give them a slap in the face in front of everyone! "
"Pa!" Old Man Hong slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Good, that's great! Madam, you're still the scheming one! "
After Madam Hong heard this, she was almost angered to death. She slapped him and scolded with a smile, "What do you mean scheming? Is there anyone who insults others like you? "
"Hehe, I'm praising you!" Old Man Hong said with a cheeky smile.
"Cut the crap, go away!" Madam Hong rolled her eyes at him and then said to Song Zhong, "Child, what are your plans after coming here?"
Song Zhong shook his head and said, "I'm basically here to escape. What plans do I have? As long as I have a place to stay, that's enough! "
"Hehe, your words are too discouraging!" Madam Hong said with a smile, "With your strength and achievements, it's enough to occupy a place here. If you develop well in the future, your future will definitely be limitless!"
When Song Zhong heard this, he knew that Madam Hong intended to help him. He hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Madam, please guide me!"
"Hehe!" Madam Hong nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "I can't say that I'm guiding you, but I have some suggestions that I can give you!"
"This junior is all ears!" Song Zhong hurriedly said.
"Then listen carefully!" Madam Hong said solemnly, "Actually, with your strength, it's not difficult to gain a foothold here. However, you're alone. Other than us, you don't have many connections. This is extremely disadvantageous for you. Therefore, my first suggestion for you is to find a master! "
"Find a master?" Song Zhong frowned and said, "This disciple is unfamiliar with this place. How can I find one?"
"Hehe, you can rest assured about this. We can help you find one!" Madam Hong suddenly frowned and said, "However, you're a thunder cultivator and some miscellaneous things. It won't be easy to find a master for you!"
"That's right!" Old man Hong also smiled bitterly and said, "In the past, you killed Old Devil Feng and fought against seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators. We thought that your combat strength was comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. We could find a Spirit Severing cultivator to be your master. But now, you single-handedly defeated two Spirit Severing cultivators and even captured one. In this way, which Spirit Severing cultivator would dare to be your master? "
Song Zhong didn't expect that there would be such a disadvantage in capturing Scholar Ecstasy. He could only smile bitterly and said, "Then what should I do?"
"What else can you do? Of course, you can find a Void Refinement Stage cultivator to be your master. "Old man Hong frowned again and said," However, it's not so easy to find a Void Refinement Stage cultivator. Although our branch master is a Void Refinement Stage cultivator, he's a water element cultivator. He's completely different from you. As for other Void Refinement Stage cultivators, with our level, we can't recognize them. It's really difficult for us! "
Seeing this, Song Zhong couldn't bear to make things difficult for them, so he said, "Since that's the case, then forget it! Acknowledging a master depends on fate and can't be forced. Anyway, I'm self-studying, so I don't need a master's guidance for the time being! "
"Hehe, you're quite open-minded. Since that's the case, let's put this matter aside first!" Madam Hong then said, "Next, I want to tell you about the composition of the forces in our Xuantian Branch. I want you to know who are friends, who are enemies, and who are neutral!"
Hearing this, Song Zhong couldn't help but ask curiously, "What? Our Xuantian Branch also has enemies? "
"Sigh!" Madam Hong sighed and said, "Where there are people, there will be jianghu. Where there are jianghu, there will be grudges. And with grudges, there will be enemies. No matter where, this is the truth! "
"This disciple understands!" Song Zhong hurriedly said, "Then quickly tell me, who are the enemies here?"
"Fine, listen carefully!" Madam Hong then said, "First, I want to tell you about the composition of the Xuantian Branch!"
Following Madam Hong's explanation, Song Zhong finally had a general understanding of the Xuantian Branch. It turned out that the Xuantian Branch was very different from the Xuantian Monastery. Although the Xuantian Branch was divided into two factions, it was still a whole. However, the Xuantian Branch was very thoroughly divided into nine factions, each of them doing their own thing. It was just that all of them listened to the management of the Main Hall.
In fact, the affairs of any branch hall were decided by themselves. They were quite independent and had all kinds of weapon refining and alchemy subsidiary halls. They even had their own sources of income and territory, and didn't rely on others at all.
The Branch Hall Masters also had great authority. They could freely appoint their subordinates and decide whether or not to have conflicts with other sects. Of course, they generally wouldn't provoke people they couldn't afford to provoke. However, if they suffered a loss, they only needed to say a word and the other branch halls would still provide support.
Another thing worth mentioning was that the position of Branch Hall Master could even be inherited. For example, the Raging Fire Shrine was owned by Old Man Hong's family, the Hong Clan. The current Hall Master was Old Man Hong's uncle. As for the thousands of disciples in the Raging Fire Shrine, many of them were disciples of the Hong Clan, and most of them were disciples they had accepted. They were also loyal to the Hong Clan. Therefore, the Raging Fire Shrine could be said to be a piece of iron, and the Hong Clan had the final say.
There were three other clans that were in the same situation as the Raging Fire Shrine. They were the Huo Clan where Huolong Daoist was, the Fang Clan, and the Shui Clan.
Apart from the shrines controlled by these four clans, the other four branch halls were not inherited by the clan. Instead, they were passed down from master to disciple. In this way, their relationship was not as close as blood ties, so the cohesion within the four shrines was weaker and their overall strength was weaker. However, after all, they were all branch halls, so even if they were weaker, it wouldn't be too bad.
The Xuantian Branch had a history of more than a hundred thousand years. For so many years, although everyone was divided internally, they were extremely united when facing outsiders. There were occasional small frictions inside, but they were suppressed by the Void Refining stage cultivators sent by the headquarters. Therefore, in general, the atmosphere of the Xuantian Branch was very harmonious. Even if it was not monolithic, it was not much different.
But recently, this limelight had changed, and that was the series of bloody cases caused by Song Zhong. Since Huolong Daoist came back with a gloomy face and his arm was broken by the furious Old Man Hong. The harmonious relationship between the Huo Clan and the Hong Clan had suffered a huge blow, and both sides were blaming each other.
The Hong Clan was in the right, complaining that the Huo Clan shouldn't have made a move on their direct disciple. But the Huo Clan was unreasonable, saying that the Hong Clan had something to say, and they shouldn't have crippled the arm of a Yuanying stage master.
In fact, the strength of Old Man Hong and Huolong Daoist were on par in the past, but after Old Man Hong came back, he went into seclusion for a few years and finally advanced to the Great Perfection stage, and the gap between them suddenly widened. But at that time, Old Man Hong forgot this point and regarded Huolong Daoist as an evenly matched opponent, so he attacked with all his strength, causing this tragedy. In fact, the two of them were friends for hundreds of years, how could Old Man Hong be willing to cripple his arm?
However, although this was a misunderstanding, Old Man Hong didn't mean to clarify it. After all, he also had feelings for Song Zhong's father. The direct disciple he had cultivated for so many years was killed by someone, how could he not be angry? So even if this happened, he didn't explain much and vented his anger for his disciple at that time.
After explaining the general situation of the Xuantian Supermonastery, Madam Hong said, "Child, the situation of the Xuantian Supermonastery can be said to be complicated, but it can also be said to be simple. In the future, you will live here. The Hong family will naturally protect you. Although the Huo family is angry, they won't go as far as to fall out with us over you. The other branches have no enmity with you, so you don't have to worry. There are two branches here, and I want to introduce them to you. You may have a use for them in the future. "
"Which two branches?" Song Zhong hurriedly asked.
"The first is the Divine Lightning Branch. Many people in this branch are lightning cultivators, and they have the most complete information on lightning techniques in the Xuantian Branch. You are a lightning cultivator, so if you want to learn new lightning techniques in the future, or if you have something you don't understand, you can go there and ask." Madam Hong smiled and said, "The person in charge of the Divine Lightning Branch's records has a good relationship with us, and we have already greeted you!"
Song Zhong knew that this was the Hong Clan couple's concern for him, which was why they had asked for this treatment. He was moved and hurriedly bowed, "Many thanks, Madam!"
"Silly child, we are all family, no need to be so polite!" Madam Hong continued, "As for the second branch, you have to pay special attention to it is the Plum Blossom Branch. Don't be fooled by the fact that this branch has the smallest number of people and the weakest influence. They have an extremely high status, and whenever the Xuantian Branch wants to carry out a big operation, we have to get their approval first! "
"Wow!" Song Zhong heard this and couldn't help but exclaim, "It can't be, right? Then wouldn't their status be even higher than the main branch? "
"Haha, that's not the case!" Madam Hong smiled and said, "The reason for this is because the Plum Blossom Branch specializes in the Plum Blossom Divination, and they know almost everything. Therefore, when we have a big operation, we will usually ask them to divine whether it is good or bad. That's right, that confidante of yours, Shuijin, is the direct disciple of the branch master! "
"What?" Song Zhong was shocked when he heard this. He said, "Isn't Shuijin's master Plum Blossom? How did she become the branch master of the Plum Blossom Branch? "
"Haha, silly child, who told you that Plum Blossom isn't the branch master of the Plum Blossom Branch?" Madam Hong said with a smile.
"Ah?" Song Zhong heard this and couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't it said that the branch master has to be a Spirit Severing stage expert?"
"Haha, that's the case for the other branches. If they don't have a Spirit Severing stage expert, the higher-ups will definitely send one down. However, the Plum Blossom Branch's situation is special. Their branch has revealed too many secrets and attracted the jealousy of the heavens, so it is difficult for them to grow. Under normal circumstances, Spirit Severing stage experts are extremely rare, so they can only send Nascent Soul stage experts to make up the numbers! "Madam Hong explained.
"Is that so?" Song Zhong frowned and said, "But I don't understand. Why is the branch master of the Plum Blossom Branch not here, but at the Xuantian Monastery?"
"Sigh, it's a long story!" Madam Hong sighed and thought for a moment. Then, she said, "This is a secret of the sect, and I shouldn't casually tell this to the younger generation. However, I know that you are a steady person and can control your mouth. Furthermore, this matter is related to you. If you know about it, you might be able to resolve the crisis. So, I'll tell you! However, you must not leak it out! "
"Senior, don't worry. I understand the severity of the matter!" Song Zhong said solemnly.
"That's good!" Madam Hong nodded and said slowly, "Speaking of which, this is really an ill-fated relationship!"
Following which, Madam Hong told the story to SongZhong.
It turned out that several hundred years ago, when Celestial MeiHua was still very young, she had become the most beautiful scenery of the Xuantian Supermonastery because of her outstanding potential and peerless beauty. She had attracted the pursuit of countless young elites. In the end, a peerless genius of the Fang family returned with the beauty and became Plum Blossom's nominal lover.
However, Plum Blossom cultivated the Water Moon Divine Art, which required a virgin to use. Therefore, the cultivator was destined to be a virgin for the rest of her life. Fortunately, righteous cultivators pursued the Great Dao and did not care about the relationship between a man and a woman. Therefore, although the two of them did not do the deed as husband and wife, they were harmonious and respectful to each other.
However, fate was the most unpredictable thing. In the end, the two of them did not walk together because of one matter. This matter happened a hundred years ago. At that time, Plum Blossom's Daoist partner was still a Nascent Soul cultivator and was sent to the Xuantian Branch as the sect master. Plum Blossom could not bear to part with him and followed him to become an elder. At that time, Huolong Daoist and Old Man Hong were also there.
Huolong Daoist's sister, Huo Qing Yun, also became an elder in the Jade Pearl Pavilion. She had played with Plum Blossom's Daoist partner since young and could be said to be childhood sweethearts. However, when they grew up, the person she liked liked someone else. This made Huo Qing Yun very angry.
She thought that since Plum Blossom could not sleep with her Daoist partner, she would not be able to tie him down. Therefore, she tried to seduce him time and time again but was thwarted time and time again. Therefore, Huo Qing Yun flew into a rage out of humiliation and used a top-grade Yin medicine to force herself on him!
Huo Qing Yun thought that after this sweet taste, this man would definitely be hers. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he was filled with grief and indignation and directly slapped Huo Qing Yun. Then, without even saying goodbye, he ran away without a trace. He did not even have the face to bid farewell to Plum Blossom.
Huo Qing Yun knew that she had made a huge mistake and hurriedly made up for it. Using a special formation, she disrupted Plum Blossom's divination and made her unable to calculate the truth. Then, using traveling as an excuse, she avoided the eyes of many people and gave birth to a baby girl, Huo Qianwu.
Plum Blossom lost her Daoist partner and was disheartened. She did not have the heart to return and stayed here, hoping that one day, she would be able to see her Daoist partner again. In the end, she waited for a hundred years.
As for Huo Qianwu, she was given to Huolong Daoist by Huo Qing Yun. In the end, because of the marriage, Huo Qing Yun found Old Devil Feng to kill Song Zhong's parents and caused a lot of trouble.
After telling the story, Madam Hong sighed and said, "Now that senior sister Plum Blossom knows the truth, she flew into a rage out of humiliation and wanted to borrow your hand to teach Huo Qing Yun a lesson. However, she did not expect that you would destroy the Jade Pearl Pavilion. This matter was too big and after the commotion, senior sister was reprimanded by the sect master. As for the Huo family, it was even more humiliating. In any case, this matter caused them to lose all face and become the joke of the entire Xuantian Supermonastery. In any case, the Huo family hates you to the bone! "
"I did not expect there to be so many stories behind this!" Song Zhong said coldly. "The Huo family also has the face to blame me! If not for Huo Qianwu, would my family have been destroyed? Anyway, it is fine if they do not provoke me. If they dare to provoke me, I will not show mercy! "
"Haha, I knew you would be like this. That is why I wanted you to have a good relationship with the Plum Blossom Palace!" Madam Hong laughed. "Shuijin and you are good friends. Plum Blossom will definitely help you out for Shuijin's sake. Furthermore, her relationship with the Huo family is like fire and water. The two of you are enemies. You will definitely be able to obtain her protection! "
"Yes!" Song Zhong hastily replied. However, although he said that, he was not convinced in his heart. With his current ability, even if he faced the strongest palace master of the Huo family, he had no need to fear. Why would he need someone to protect him?
Madam Hong immediately knew that Song Zhong was not listening. Her expression became solemn and she said, "Child, you are still young. Don't refuse to listen! Let me tell you, don't think that the strongest person in the Huo family is a Spirit Severing expert. The Huo family is one of the four great families of the Xuantian Dao Sect. Who knows how many experts they have. Dealing with you will be as easy as playing with a child. Unless you hug the Plum Blossom Palace's thigh, if you really cause a huge disaster, even my Hong family might not be able to protect you! "
Song Zhong couldn't help but ask curiously, "If the Huo family is so strong, then can the Plum Blossom Palace protect me?"
"Of course!" Madam Hong said unhurriedly. "The Plum Blossom Palace's bloodline has a transcendent status in the Xuantian Dao Sect. Although they do not have a bloodline family and only rely on their master and disciple relationship to maintain their inheritance, due to their special abilities and contributions, they are extremely respected in the Xuantian Dao Sect. "No matter who provokes them, they will become everyone's enemy. Even the Huo family does not dare to be impudent towards the Plum Blossom Palace's bloodline!"
