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

Chapter 208 Tianyan Sect, I'll remember this debt!
The half-month period passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Sun Gongfeng, having calculated the exact time, sat imposingly in the main seat of the Zhao family's living room, waiting for Zhao Yongnian to arrive and complete the transaction.

only.

He waited from dawn until the sun was high in the sky, but Zhao Yongnian still did not appear. Even the servants serving tea were unfamiliar faces, and their expressions seemed somewhat strange.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Sun Gongfeng's heart.

He suddenly stood up, his divine sense spreading out and enveloping the entire Zhao family mansion.

Upon this inquiry, his expression changed drastically!
Inside the mansion, apart from a few unsuspecting servants on the periphery, no one could sense the presence of any core member of the Zhao family!

Those warehouses and secret rooms were completely empty!
"not good!"

"Zhao Yongnian, you old bastard! How dare you deceive me!"

Enraged, Sun Gongfeng slammed his hand down and smashed the tea table beside him.

He leaped up and rushed into the Zhao family's inner courtyard, searching everywhere, only to find it deserted!

All that remained were some bulky pieces of furniture that couldn't be taken away and the empty shell of a mansion.

Only then did an old servant guarding the gate tremblingly hand over a letter left by Zhao Yongnian.

Sun Gongfeng snatched it, tore it open, and saw only a few words on it:

"The Song family was too aggressive, and the Zhao family had no choice but to move the entire clan to Tianyan Sect."

"The former assets have all gone to the Song family. I cannot continue this conversation. Zhao Yongnian, please."

"Tianyan Sect!!!"

Enraged, Sun Gongfeng trembled with rage, his face turning ashen. He crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy overflowed out of control, shattering the surrounding tables and chairs.

He never expected that Zhao Yongnian would have such courage to abandon the vast foundation in Jiangling and stage such a clever escape for him and the Song family!
And all of this is somehow connected to the newly rising Tianyan Sect!
"Zhao Yongnian! Tianyan Sect! You just wait!"

With a roar, Sun Gongfeng disregarded everything else and transformed into a streak of light, rushing out of the Zhao residence and speeding towards Huizhou.

He must report this matter to the head of the family immediately!
The Zhao family's defection to the Tianyan Sect was no longer just a conflict between the younger generation; it was a complete slap in the face to the Song family of Huizhou, and could even be seen as an open provocation by the Zhao family and the Tianyan Sect against the Song family!

This matter is absolutely not going to end well!
Otherwise, the Song family will be completely disgraced!

a few days later.

The Song family mansion in Huizhou.

Sun Gongfeng, weary from his journey, rushed back day and night, barely having time to catch his breath, and immediately sought an audience with the family head, Song Chengye.

In the study room.

After listening to Sun Gongfeng's report filled with shock, anger, and fear, and learning that the Zhao family had not only failed to submit to the Song family as expected, but also...

Instead, they dared to pull a fast one, moving their entire clan to join the Tianyan Sect.

Song Chengye's previously calm face instantly fell, his expression turning terrifyingly gloomy, as if water could drip from it.

The air in the study suddenly seemed to freeze, and the temperature even seemed to drop a few degrees.

"The Zhao family! The Tianyan Sect!"

Song Chengye spoke through gritted teeth, his knuckles turning slightly white from gripping the armrests of the seat so tightly.

Song Chengye had heard of the great name of the Tianyan Sect.

This body cultivation sect, which has only emerged this year, is very powerful and is said to have started a brand new journey for body cultivation. Even the emperor of the Great Li Kingdom, who has been indifferent to worldly affairs for a long time, personally issued a decree to legitimize it and showed his intention to support it.

Its sect leader, Meng Xihong, was rumored to be incredibly powerful, capable of directly challenging a Golden Core cultivator while only at the Foundation Establishment stage, making him invincible among those in the same realm.

Despite the profound heritage of the Song family of Huizhou and the presence of a Golden Elixir Ancestor, he still had to be wary of a rising sect that had received overt support from the imperial court and was gaining momentum.

At this critical juncture, directly attacking the Tianyan Sect would be tantamount to openly slapping the Great Li Dynasty in the face, with unpredictable consequences. The Song family's current strength is far from being able to directly confront the behemoth that is the Great Li Dynasty.

Suppressing the rage that threatened to burst from his chest, Song Chengye's reason ultimately prevailed.

He took a few deep breaths, his chest heaving violently, his eyes flashing with cold light, which eventually turned into a deep, sinister aura.

"Let's put this matter aside for now."

"Give the order to temporarily halt all actions against the Zhao family and closely monitor the movements of the Tianyan Sect. It is not advisable to have a direct confrontation with the Dali Dynasty now."

Song Chengye's voice was hoarse and cold, carrying a kind of suppressed violence.

Sun Gongfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, Master!"

"but."

Song Chengye abruptly changed the subject, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "The Zhao family betrayed us, and the Tianyan Sect protected them. I, Song Chengye, will remember this debt!"
Let them be arrogant for a while longer. Once the heat dies down, or when I find a good opportunity, I will make them pay a hundredfold price!

His Song family had been passed down for hundreds of years and had never suffered such humiliation. He would never truly swallow this insult.

He has to wait.

They were waiting for a more suitable and secure opportunity to deliver a devastating blow to the Tianyan Sect and wipe out the Zhao family in one fell swoop.

at this time.

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the study, followed by the door being pushed open, and Song Hongfang rushed in impatiently.

"Father! How is the matter progressing? Has Zhao Yuanming been apprehended? When will the compensation from the Zhao family arrive?"

Song Hongfang was clearly unaware of the tense atmosphere in the study, his mind preoccupied with how to take revenge on the Zhao family.

And this moment.

Song Chengye, who was on the verge of exploding with rage, saw his good-for-nothing son who was always causing trouble for the family. He was instantly enraged and his pent-up anger found an outlet.

"Get out!"

"All you do is cause trouble all day long, you good-for-nothing! If you hadn't acted so arrogantly, how could the family have fallen into such a passive situation!"
"Get back to your courtyard and reflect on your actions behind closed doors. Without my order, you are not to step out!"

Song Chengye slammed his hand on the table, and the solid wood desk cracked open with a bang. His face darkened as he angrily berated Song Hongfang.

Song Hongfang was stunned by his father's sudden outburst of rage. He had never seen his father so angry with him before. His face turned pale, and he stammered, not daring to say anything more. He slunk away, but his resentment towards the Zhao family and the Tianyan Sect only deepened.

the other side.

Tianyan Sect, main peak, training room.

Meng Xihong was sitting cross-legged, his body's qi and blood intertwined with spiritual energy, slowly circulating like a furnace, tempering his physical body and soul.

Suddenly, steady footsteps came from outside the training room.

Then Ji Beichuan's voice rang out.

"Sect Master, there's something going on down the mountain."

Meng Xihong slowly finished his practice, the strange phenomena around him subsiding. He opened his eyes and calmly asked, "What is it?"

Ji Beichuan pushed open the door and entered, bowing as he reported: "The patrolling disciples discovered a large-scale migration of people at the foot of the mountain, with families and a long line of vehicles loaded with supplies. They seem to be from the Zhao family of Jiangling."

"Zhao family?"

Meng Xihong raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He immediately recalled a faint, veiled hint about migration in yesterday's divination, which he hadn't investigated at the time, but unexpectedly it came to him here.
