Chapter 180 Growth

Huang Family, in the meeting hall of Taiyuan Mountain.

Huang Family ancestor, Huang Shengyue, whose injuries have almost recovered, is listening to several family elders reporting the news they have collected in the past few days.

"Ancestor, the group of casual cultivators who broke through Duanliu Mountain has been investigated. Their leader fled here from Zheng State three years ago. He had been in Pingyang County before. He had never dealt with the cultivators of the Gao and Lu families. On the surface, he seemed to have nothing to do with them."

Huang Shengyue frowned and snorted coldly: "The two families acted so quickly this time, they must have been prepared in advance. They will not leave us any evidence for such things. It is estimated that those chess pieces that they have used up have been dealt with by them at this moment.

Withdraw all those who are still near Duanliu Mountain. For the time being, our most important thing is to protect Taiyuan Mountain. Let's put the things over there aside and wait for the clan leader to come out of retreat."

Seeing this, the ancestor at the top has made a decision. Although several Huang family elders are a little unwilling, they dare not express their opinions on the spot. They all nodded in response.

"The Song family has retreated to Funiu Mountain in the past few days. Song Qingming should not have come back yet. It has been so many days. I think he is really in danger. I even suspect that the people sent by the Song family that day who said that Song Qingming was not dead may be lying to us. The Song family may want to cover up this news temporarily." Another elder of the Huang family said worriedly.

Huang Shengyue nodded, sighed and said: "We still have to keep an eye on Funiu Mountain. Regardless of whether what the Song family said is true or not, the news that Song Qingming is still alive is also very important to us. In case he really escapes back, the Song family can at least help us share some pressure, and it can also make the Gao and Lu families restrain themselves a little."

"Ancestor"

The Huang family has indeed been a little unstable recently. Since learning that the ancestor of the family, Huang Chengliang, died outside, many people have begun to panic. In addition, the clan leader Huang Shengxin returned and immediately began to retreat, leaving Huang Shengyue alone to face these annoying trivial matters.

In addition, after the Gao and Lu families found out about the Huang family's failure outside, they couldn't help but start to take action directly, making Huang Shengyue busy and overwhelmed at the moment.

"Let's stop here today. If you have any news, you can go to the back mountain and tell me. Now is an extraordinary period. You must remind the clansmen outside to be vigilant and never let the Gao family succeed so easily."

After the people below nodded and were about to leave, an old man standing at the back hesitated for a moment and said, "Ancestor! Yesterday, Xianchen went down the mountain to Qinghefang. I guess he went to find Siyuan. I only learned about this this morning. What do you think we should do next?"

"Anyway, Siyuan has also made sacrifices for our family. If she is willing to come back, you all should not have any objections. In short, our Huang family is still here, and we can't even protect her, a small Qi-refining cultivator."

In Qinghefang, looking at the empty streets, Huang Siyuan called Li Quan helplessly. She was about to close the business early, but she didn't expect that a somewhat decadent middle-aged man suddenly walked in at the door of Xianfeng Tower and interrupted her arrangements.

"Father, why are you here in the market?"

Huang Siyuan was surprised to see that the person was her father Huang Xianchen whom she hadn't seen for almost two years, and she quickly invited him to the private room on the second floor.

As soon as she sat down, Huang Xianchen anxiously said straight to the point: "Siyuan, I came here to ask you if you want to move back home for a few days."

"Go back to the Huang family? I am now a member of the Song family, there is no place for me in the Huang family." Huang Siyuan said helplessly.

Hearing the sadness in his daughter's words, Huang Xianchen said awkwardly: "I know you still have resentment towards the family, and you blame me as a useless father. You have suffered a lot over the years."

"Father, I have never blamed you over the years. I am actually doing well here. You can see that my cultivation is not much behind those geniuses in the family. You don't have to worry about me too much."

"Siyuan, you probably don't know yet. Song Qingming went to the Floating Cloud Mountains with several ancestors in the family this time, and something bad happened. So far, only two ancestors of our family have returned to the family. Not only did Cheng Liang die outside, but Song Qingming also disappeared.

The Gao family and the Lu family have already started to attack our Huang family a few days ago. The Song family is now in danger and can't protect itself. The whole Qinghe County may be about to change. You stay here alone, I am really a little worried."

Seeing that Huang Siyuan didn't seem to understand the purpose of his visit, Huang Xianchen anxiously told everything he knew in one breath.

Huang Siyuan listened and poured Huang Xianchen a glass of water without panic. She smiled and said, "I actually knew some of this a few days ago. I know you want to take me back for my own good, but I am still a member of the Song family. If I suddenly run back to the Huang family at the slightest sign of trouble, and wait for Song Qingming to come back, how will the people of the Song family look at me in the future?"

"Alas! How could you be so foolish? Even our ancestor Cheng Liang died there. Song Qingming is definitely in danger this time. Moreover, if the Song family really regarded you as their own, why would they leave you alone in Qinghefang? I have just inquired about it. Except for a shop where someone lives, the rest of the Song family has retreated to Funiu Mountain. They never regarded you as their own family."

"Father, my daughter has now broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining. She does not need to stand behind others all the time and ask for protection. No matter how difficult this world of immortal cultivation is, Cruelty, my daughter will have to face it sooner or later. If God really wants to test me to grow up in adversity, I think my wings will grow faster.

Whether it's the Huang family or the Song family, even if they send someone to invite me, I don't want to go anywhere. This Xianfeng Tower is my home. Besides, there is at least Senior Lu in Qinghefang. Ordinary people still dare not mess around here casually. You really don't have to worry about me too much. "

Huang Siyuan stood up after speaking, ignoring her father who was still a little surprised on his face, and walked out directly with firm steps.

Huang Xianchen saw that he couldn't persuade her anymore, and didn't stay here any longer. He shook his head and left Xianfeng Tower.

"Xueyan, my daughter has really grown up, and she doesn't need me, a mediocre father anymore."

——

In the depths of the Floating Cloud Mountains, in the secret realm.

Song Qingming, covered in sweat, paced back and forth while looking at the boiling river full of poisonous gas in front of him, and took a long breath from time to time in some confusion. What should he do now?

After crossing this small river and walking about a hundred miles ahead, he will find the valley he wants to go to. Today is the third day set by Fire Phoenix. If he still cannot cross this river quickly, Song Qingming will definitely not be able to reach his destination this time. What he needs to face next is truly unimaginable.
