The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 598 The Song Family's Trouble

"If it really is the scent of a monster, then perhaps we can find it through these herbs!"

Baili Shang immediately understood Song Wanning's meaning and replied.

He took out a communication talisman and immediately made the arrangements.

The demon realm is vast; it's unclear how long it would take the two of them to find it.

"Let's go, there's no rush. Let's go to the Demon Palace and rest for a while first?"

With a hint of expectation in his eyes, Baili Shang asked with a smile.

Song Wanning traveled from afar and must have been very tired along the way.

He'll have to treat the demons well when they go there.

"it is good."

Song Wanning wasn't in a hurry, and smiled as she followed Baili Shang to the Demon Palace.

Upon learning that Song Wanning was coming, the Demon King took it very seriously and led the elders of the Demon Palace out to greet her.

"This must be Fellow Daoist Song! I've heard so much about you!"

The Demon King was very polite, with a warm smile on his face.

Regardless of Song Wanning's abilities or the fact that she is her son's sweetheart, she should be valued by him.

The other elders also greeted Song Wanning. They had long been interested in this renowned junior in the spirit world, and were even more shocked upon seeing her today.

He's even younger than our young master; his talent is simply astonishing.

"You're too kind, esteemed seniors!"

Song Wanning smiled faintly and politely returned the greeting.

The group walked into the Demon Palace.

Upon entering the reception room, Baili Shang told them about Song Wanning's discovery.

Upon hearing this, the Demon King frowned, then his eyes lit up slightly. "No wonder we haven't discovered the problem. It turns out it's the herbs used to refine the elixir."

"Don't worry about this. I will personally follow up on it and find the location of the herbs as soon as possible."

"Okay, you guys chat first, I'll take Wan Ning to rest."

Bai Li Shang didn't tell everyone that the monsters might be so numerous as to cause a plague. After all, such speculation hadn't been confirmed yet, and saying more would be pointless and only add to the trouble.

He then ignored the reactions of others and led his men toward his own courtyard.

The two figures quickly disappeared, and the Demon King's lips curled into a smile, full of helplessness.

This guy looks like he's afraid they'll eat Song Wanning up; he's really forgotten his parents now that he has a "wife".

"Demon King, I think the young master is about to have good news!"

"That's right. I've never seen the young master care about a woman so much. His Highness the Demon King might have to prepare for the marriage ceremony soon!"

The elders couldn't help but tease him. They had all watched Baili Shang grow up and had never seen him so attentive to a woman. They were also happy for him.

After all, both of them are exceptionally talented, and if they have a child in the future, the child's talent will likely be even more remarkable.

As the discussions grew increasingly outrageous, the Demon King's lips curled slightly, but his expression grew more and more helpless.

“You all should take a look at Song Wanning’s conditions. With her cultivation speed, my son simply can’t catch up.”

"Moreover, Song Wanning's eyes are clear and bright; is there even a trace of affection in them?"

"You guys better stop making a fuss, or you'll make the young lady uncomfortable, you know?"

The Demon King shook his head. His Daoist partner was still in seclusion. They were deeply in love and knew exactly what it was like to be moved by love.

Song Wanning clearly considers Baili Shang a friend, so he won't interfere.

It's good that my son has such a goal in mind; at least it can serve as motivation for his cultivation.

Upon hearing this, the elders all showed a hint of disappointment in their eyes. What a pity.

But matters of the heart cannot be forced, so everyone quickly changed the subject and began discussing the monster.

……

Upon arriving at Baili Shang's courtyard, Song Wanning entered the guest room.

Knowing that Song Wanning was coming, Baili Shang had made arrangements well in advance, even preparing the alchemy room, as if he wanted Song Wanning to stay for a long time.

Song Wanning sensed his sincerity and became more and more relaxed.

"You should rest first. I'll let you know as soon as I get the news."

Baili Shang felt sorry for Song Wanning, who had traveled a long and tiring journey. He hurriedly went out as soon as he had settled her in.

Song Wanning was indeed tired, and with nothing else to do, she lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

She fell asleep completely unprepared and slept very comfortably.

Baili Shang sat in the courtyard, reading a book while forbidding anyone from disturbing Song Wanning.

He glanced back into the courtyard. Even just being able to stay by Song Wanning's side and watch her silently seemed like a very happy thing.

He is already very satisfied.

However, Song Wanning's cultivation speed was too fast, and she would ascend to the Immortal Realm in no time.

Looking at myself, I'm still not a genius enough, so I can only make up for it with hard work.

He shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, and continued reading the book in his hands.

……

In the lower realm, the Song family gathered together and held a very serious meeting.

Li Ruo, who has now reached the Golden Core stage, is also among them.

She has now completely shed her girlish naiveté and looks much more mature and composed, exuding a murderous aura that gives her a resemblance to Song Wanning's former imposing presence.

Song Qingyun and Mu Yuan are now both at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from ascension.

This was all thanks to the resources and treasures left behind by Song Wanning; otherwise, the group wouldn't have been able to advance so quickly.

The other elders and disciples of the Song family also grew very quickly under the constant nourishment of those inheritances and spiritual veins.

Now they are a powerful overlord in the lower realms, and no one dares to provoke them.

However, recently, the Song family encountered a very thorny issue: the reclusive families have lifted the restrictions and can freely enter and leave the outside world.

Relying on their superior cultivation, they wanted to force these sects and families outside to relinquish their interests and hand them over to them.

As the most powerful family at present, the Song family is naturally regarded as a thorn in their side.

We have gathered here today to resolve this matter.

"Clan leader, we must not compromise on these demands. Back then, the major families pressured the Song family, and we were brought back to life under the leadership of the young lady. Even though the young lady is no longer here, we cannot simply give away our resources!"

"Yes, especially since those resources were left behind by the young lady. Why should we hand them over to them? We might as well fight them to the death!"

"That's right, our Song family has quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators now, we're not afraid of them!"

"Patriarch, I believe we should cooperate with other families and sects to jointly resist the people from the reclusive families."

"..."

The elders expressed their opinions, and none of them agreed to hand over the resources so easily.

Song Qingyun's expression was composed, his eyes resolute, and a hint of longing for his daughter was revealed in them.

He hadn't seen his daughter for many years and didn't know if she was doing well or if she had been bullied.

He paused for a moment before speaking, "That's right, the Song family cannot back down on this matter!"
