Chapter 193 Critical illness
After chasing for dozens of miles, just when Huang Shengyue and Song Qingming were about to catch up with Gao Yubai, a black light appeared in the distant sky and flew towards them quickly. Gao Baiyu was overjoyed when he saw this and quickly increased his speed.
Seeing that the person coming was Lu Xingde, Huang Shengyue and Song Qingming couldn't help but sigh, stopped chasing and turned back.
In fact, the two of them didn't really want to kill Gao Yubai at the beginning, but they found that this kid was quite powerful during the fight, and they were a little excited all of a sudden. They wanted to solve this trouble directly here. Until now, when they saw Lu Xingde coming, they woke up and took the initiative to retreat.
When they returned, Duanliu Mountain had been jointly attacked by the cultivators of the Huang and Song families below. Except for four or five cultivators with higher cultivation from the Gao and Lu families who escaped desperately, the rest died here.
In this battle, because the Huang and Song families had been prepared and joined forces to outnumber the enemy by several times, there were not many losses after the war, and only a few cultivators were slightly injured.
After killing the Gao family cultivator who had occupied their own territory, the Huang family, who had been suppressed for several months, cheered for a while and immediately began to take over the Broken Flow Mountain Mine.
Because the Gao family had also been mining here during this period, they had always maintained the original mine very well and did not make things difficult for the Huang family mortals who had been mining here. Everything in the Broken Flow Mountain Copper Mine was well preserved, and it would not be long before it could operate normally again.
After taking over the Broken Flow Mountain Mine, Song Qingming also deliberately left his ninth uncle Song Changxin with eight cultivators to help the Huang family guard the mine.
Broken Flow Mountain is located at the junction of the Huang family and the Lu family. If they want to have a piece of territory here, it means that the Song family must stand up and share the pressure with the Huang family.
Huang Shengyue gave 40% of the shares of Broken Flow Mountain to the Song family for this purpose, to pull the Song family to share some of the pressure on the front line.
Song Qingming had already figured this out when he decided to get involved. This time, they and the Huang family attacked together, which hurt the Gao family. The Song family is now firmly tied to the Huang family's chariot, and it is impossible to withdraw for the time being.
After discussing with Huang Shengyue about the joint development of Duanliu Mountain, Song Qingming directly returned to Funiu Mountain with the remaining Song family cultivators.
Next, Song Qingming did not choose to go to Qinghefang to see Gao Jinhe again, but also wrote him a letter, directly rejecting the Gao family's desire to exchange shops with the Song family.
Now that he already knew the situation on the Huang family's side, Song Qingming naturally would not worry about the Gao family daring to continue to attack the Song family. After the battle of Duanliu Mountain, the Huang family and the Song family were completely tied together. If the Gao family wanted to attack the Song family, the Huang family would naturally not sit idly by.
For these immortal cultivation families, if they want to seize more cultivation resources, they still have to look at their strength. When Song Qingming disappeared, the Song family suddenly lost the protection of the foundation-building cultivators, and naturally lost the qualification to occupy more resources.
Even if the Gao family didn't plan to attack them, other foundation-building families would also attack them later. This is the iron rule of the immortal cultivation world. All resources are in the hands of high-level cultivators.
After the letter was sent to Qinghefang, Gao Jinhe did not reply, nor did he respond by sending cultivators to Funiushan. It was as if the original incident had never happened. The Gao family and the Song family had no intersection anymore.
After the Huang family took back Duanliu Mountain, Qinghe County once again caused an uproar. Overnight, the Huang family restored most of its former reputation, stabilized the military spirit of many affiliated immortal cultivation families, and broke the rumors that the head of the Huang family had died in the past few months.
However, in addition to regaining Duanliu Mountain, the Huang family did not continue to attack. The Gao family and the Lu family also returned to the calm a few months ago and did not make any moves. Neither side took any action, which made Qinghe County seem to have suddenly fallen into a strange calm.
In this finally restored peace, less than two months later, Song Qingming, who was in seclusion for cultivation, unexpectedly received news from Mujiao Town at the foot of the mountain that his mother was seriously ill.
Since building his foundation, Song Qingming has rarely returned to his home at the foot of the mountain, but his mother is still a worldly bond that he cannot give up.
Song's mother is already over 70 years old, which is a rare old age in the secular world. This time, the sudden news of her serious illness made Song Qingming know that the old lady should not have much time left.
After putting away the thoughts of cultivation, Song Qingming went directly to Mujiao Town.
In recent years, the Song family has developed rapidly, constantly expanding the existing mortal villages and towns, and also increasing the number of mortals in the family below. Before Song Qingming went down the mountain, the entire Song family had only 20,000 mortals, but now it is almost doubled.
As soon as he arrived at Mujiao Town, Song Qingming saw his fifth brother Song Qingyuan, who had been waiting here for a long time.
"Greetings, Grand Elder!"
Song Qingming nodded and said, "No need to be polite since Fifth Brother is here. Go and do your thing first. I'll come to you if I need anything."
The Qing generation, cultivators older than Song Qingming, basically have little room for improvement in their cultivation. Most of them have already started families and are taking on easier jobs outside.
The eldest brother Song Qingshi, the fourth brother Song Qingrui, and the sixth brother Song Qinghe have all gotten married in recent years. The fourth brother who was the first to get married now has a lot of children. Half a year ago, a child with spiritual roots was detected, but he was very happy. , who no longer paid attention to cultivation, is now focused on paving the way for his children's future.
These people have no hope in this life, so they can enjoy the rest of their lives, add a few more children with spiritual roots to the family, and place their hopes on the next generation, which is a double-edged sword.
As soon as he walked into the house, Song Qingming saw his fourth brother and his wife sitting in the hall.
They are all over fifty years old. Although they have been rich and wealthy throughout their lives without suffering much, they are now starting to falter.
Seeing Song Qingming walking in, the fourth brother was so excited that he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the eldest nephew Yunshan, who was already the head of the family, helped his father in time, and they led Song Qingming to the backyard together.
Seeing her mother, who was already lingering on the hospital bed and had become much smaller in stature, Song Qingming still couldn't hold back a few tears.
"My mother couldn't eat anything half a month ago and could only drink some soup. After calling your name a few days ago, she fell asleep immediately and didn't wake up for several days. I can't ask someone to go up the mountain to inform you." The second sister who was taking care of her beside the bed also had white hair, and her eyes were red when she spoke, and she had been crying a lot in the past few days.
"Second sister, I have a magic pill here. It should be able to wake my mother up first. You can take care of her later and take it first." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he left a pill beside the bed, turned around and walked out lonely. .
