Starting with the creation of the Immortal Clan through the compilation of the family genealogy.

Chapter 203 This cause and effect, my Heavenly Evolution Sect will bear it!
At this point, even with his years of experience and shrewdness, Zhao Yongnian couldn't help but show indignation.
He clenched his fist slightly: "Although Jiangling is not a place where my Zhao family has absolute power, as the head of the local aristocratic families, my Zhao family should have the responsibility to maintain peace and tranquility in this area."

But the Song family is powerful; their patriarch is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and they even have a Golden Core elder overseeing them! My Jiangling Zhao family is utterly insignificant compared to the vast Song family of Huizhou, like ants gazing at a mountain!

His voice was filled with helplessness and humiliation.

As the head of a family, he witnessed evil deeds happening on his own territory, but dared not stop them because he was afraid of the other party's background. This frustration and self-blame tormented him day and night.

"In order to protect my Zhao family, I have no choice but to strictly order the family members not to have any conflict with Song Hongfang, and to be tolerant in everything, hoping that this evil star will leave Jiangling as soon as possible."

Zhao Yongnian shook his head, his face showing even more guilt.

"But who would have thought...who would have thought of my son?"

His gaze fell on Zhao Yuanming again, his eyes filled with reproach, but also with a hint of barely perceptible praise.

Zhao Yuanming suddenly raised his head, his young face filled with stubbornness and indignation, and said, "Father! That Song Hongfang is really going too far! He forcibly abducted a singing girl in the market in public!"
A passing cultivator, indignant at the sight, stepped forward to stop him, only to be struck by him with a casual palm, causing him to vomit blood and fall to the ground. He was also trampled on the ground, destroying his future cultivation foundation!
I simply couldn't stand by and watch! Taking advantage of your momentary lapse in attention, Father, I led my men and taught that scoundrel a lesson!

Although Zhao Yuanming spoke with great conviction, his voice lowered towards the end, clearly indicating that he knew he had made a grave mistake.

Zhao Yongnian picked up the conversation, his tone heavy: "That bastard, with a few servants, took advantage of Song Hongfang being alone, and relying on his familiarity with the terrain and his ruthlessness, he actually beat Song Hongfang up. Although he didn't seriously injure him, he still made him look quite disheveled."

By the time I found out, it was too late!

"Song Hongfang suffered a loss, but at the time, out of consideration for his reputation and because he was in the wrong, and perhaps also because he was worried about being reprimanded by the accompanying elders, he did not immediately retaliate and left Jiangling in a sorry state. But this matter will definitely not end here!"

"Given the Song family's domineering nature and Song Hongfang's vindictive nature, they will definitely investigate Yuan Ming's identity afterward and take revenge!"

"My Zhao family is too weak to withstand the wrath of a Golden Core cultivator!"

Zhao Yongnian's face was filled with deep worry.

He looked at Meng Xihong, his eyes filled with the last hope: "After hearing this news, I have been unable to eat or sleep lately, and I am very worried!"
After much thought, I realized that only by seeking external protection could I save my son's life.

I've heard that under Sect Master Meng's leadership, the Tianyan Sect is gaining increasing prestige and is currently enjoying great success. It is a sect with a strong sense of responsibility and integrity.

"Zhao shamelessly came to the sect leader's door, earnestly pleading with him to accept his good-for-nothing son, Zhao Yuanming, and let him stay in the Tianyan Sect, even as an outer disciple, sweeping floors and chopping wood!"

Zhao Yongnian's meaning couldn't be clearer.

His intention was to send Zhao Yuanming into the Tianyan Sect, using the sect's influence to avoid retaliation from the Song family of Huizhou.

The Heavenly Evolution Sect has earned its current prestige, becoming the leading sect for body refinement within the Great Li Kingdom. This is due to its profound foundation and the charisma of its sect leader.

They will not lag far behind the Song family, and their Supreme Elder's cultivation is unfathomable; perhaps they can withstand the pressure from the Song family.

Most importantly, the Heavenly Evolution Sect also has the Emperor backing it up.

As long as Zhao Yuanming is in the Tianyan Sect, the Song family will have to think twice before trying to take action against him.

Simultaneously.

Zhao Yongnian leaned forward slightly, his tone becoming more earnest, even carrying a hint of desperation: "Sect Master Meng, I know that the Tianyan Sect has only been established for a short time..."

Zongzheng was in a time when everything was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt. The various halls were probably still vacant and required a lot of resources to repair and rebuild.

If Sect Leader Meng is willing to accept my son, my Zhao family is willing to cover all the expenses for repairing the various halls of the sect!
"The necessary spirit stones and materials will be supplied by my Zhao family without hesitation!"

He took a deep breath and almost pleaded, "I only beg Sect Leader Meng to give my son a place to stay and keep him safe!" A brief silence fell over the reception hall.

Zhao Yuanming looked at Meng Xihong nervously, his hands unconsciously clenching his robes.

Zhao Yongnian held his breath, waiting for Meng Xihong's final decision.

Meng Xihong tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the Zhao father and son.

Zhao Yongnian, a father who was forced to endure humiliation and forbearance in the face of power, yet who was willing to lower himself and spend all his family fortune for his son, is a figure worthy of pity.

Zhao Yuanming is a young man with a passionate heart who dares to stand up for the weak when they are bullied, even knowing that it will bring great disaster. His actions are commendable.

Although this would bring a potential formidable enemy to the Tianyan Sect.

But on the path of cultivation, if one doesn't even dare to stand up for this little injustice, and can't even protect a kind-hearted young person, how can one talk about seeking immortality?
What about the spirit and integrity of a sect?

Again.

The Song family of Huizhou, which can tolerate the unbridled behavior of its members, poses no threat to the Tianyan Sect!

Moreover, since his "Daily Divination" has already indicated that this is "top-tier intelligence," and it can resolve the sect's predicament, the opportunity must outweigh the risk.

My thoughts raced.

In the blink of an eye, Meng Xihong had made up his mind.

Meng Xihong put down his teacup, making a crisp sound that broke the silence in the hall.

He looked at Zhao Yongnian, and without the slightest hesitation, spoke loudly:
"The love that the Zhao family head has for his son is truly touching."

Your son saw injustice and stepped forward to help. Although his actions were somewhat lacking in consideration, his pure heart and chivalrous act are truly commendable.

Meng Xihong paused, then spoke with absolute certainty:
"If the Song family of Huizhou wishes to take revenge because of this matter, this cause and effect..."

"Our Heavenly Evolution Sect will take this on!"

These words resounded like a thunderclap in the reception hall!
Hear the words.

Zhao Yongnian's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief and shock!
He originally thought that even if Meng Xihong was willing to take him in, it would be a difficult negotiation and he might even be asked to impose many harsh conditions. He was already mentally prepared for this.

To everyone's surprise, Meng Xihong was so decisive and generous, taking on the disaster that could have brought a small family to ruin in one fell swoop!
After the initial shock came elation and gratitude.

Zhao Yongnian stood up abruptly, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

He bowed deeply to Meng Xihong, his voice choked with emotion, filled with utmost sincerity: "Sect Leader Meng! Your righteousness is boundless! I, Zhao, am eternally grateful! This great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by the Zhao family of Jiangling!"

He straightened up and, without any hesitation, immediately took out three antique-style storage rings from his pocket.

At first glance, the three rings seem unremarkable.

But the fact that Zhao Yongnian collected it so solemnly clearly indicates that it contains something of great significance.

"Sect Leader Meng, here are three storage rings, filled with spirit stones and cultivation resources. I hope you won't find them too bulky."
