Chapter 389: Secret Between Grand Elder And Xu Hailong

Xue Ning finally understood it, but it was because she understood it that she found it hard to believe.

In common sense, merging two souls into one was absolutely impossible, even if it was mergeable, the new soul would still break down and perish not long after.

Every being's soul had the same structure, but the elements in each soul were completely different, thereby making it impossible for two souls to become one.

Put it in a simpler term, it was like mixing vodka with gasoline. The two could be mixed together, but after mixing, the liquid could never be consumable nor usable.

But the situation before in front of her seemed to be telling her that nothing was impossible in this world. Just because she had never seen it, it did not mean that what she had never seen did not exist.

After understanding this simple fact, she calmed down completely.

…

Yang Song stayed still and looked at Xiang Lige's body.

Now that he found that there was no other problem with Xiang Lige, what he had to do next was to just wait for her to wake up naturally. By then, he would be able to know what he wanted to know.

He did not know when she would wake up, but he estimated that it should not take long.

Just as Yang Song was thinking about this, a reaction outside the secret space caught his attention.

…

In the meeting hall of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect's temporary residence.

All the elders gathered, but the seat in the middle was empty.

At this time, the atmosphere was extremely tense and solemn. Everyone had anxiety on their faces.

Grand Elder Su Tufei took the lead to speak, "Where is the sect master?"

An elder answered her, "I already notified him via the emergency jade slip. He should be here soon."

Right after that elder finished speaking, the door opened and closed quickly. Then, a person flickered and sat in the main seat.

Yang Song, who was using the appearance of Xu Hailing, asked quickly, "What happened?"

Grand Elder Su Tufei seemed to be a bit tired to speak, so an elder next to her chose to report seriously, "Patriarch, our sect is being attacked by a black dragon, now, we need to send people for reinforcement."

"Who is it again?" Yang Song did not expect this at all.

"A black dragon," that elder repeated.

Yang Song fell into silence for a while and asked with his eyes narrowed, "A wild one or a tamed one?"

"No one is sure. But since its strength is so horrifying, it should be a wild one. Such a powerful creature will never submit to another force."

Yang Song caught the point and wondered, "But why have I never heard of this so-called black dragon?"

Every elder looked at each other and shook their heads.

"We have also never heard of it. Based on the information told by the messenger, its strength is even stronger than the God Star White Tiger."

Hearing this, Yang Song did not panic, but he smiled secretly instead. He hid the smile quickly and asked with a serious look.

"How is out sect now?"

The elder who sat next to grand elder Su Tufei said again, "A huge part of our sect suffered a severe casualty. Now, only the main peak is left standing along with the guardian formation. If we don't send people now, I'm afraid…"

"That's right, patriarch, let's send people now."

"The situation will turn bad if…"

"…"

Yang Song also agreed with them, then he looked at the elder next to grand elder Su Tufei, "Then, Elder Zhong, you arrange it."

Elder Zhong felt that it was as he expected, so he nodded quickly.

Most of the elders left the meeting hall and wanted to go back to help the sect. At this moment, only grand elder Su Tufei and Yang Song were left in the hall.

Yang Song secretly employed a sound isolation barrier and pretended to sigh, "Aunt, what do you think?"

Grand elder Su Tufei opened her eyes and said gently, "This matter is not simple. I'm afraid there's a trap in it."

In the sect, only a few hidden figures knew that Xu Hailong was the nephew of grand elder Su Tufei. Even Xu Hailong's son, Xu Zhihua, did not know about this relationship.

There was also that the first grand elder who was in seclusion, that was Xu Hailong's uncle. There was another secret in it, that was, Su Tufei was actually the wife of the first grand elder.

No one in the sect would ever expect that the top figures in the Sky Cloud Sword Sect were actually related by blood. If this secret was known, it was not known how would those people react.

As for why Yang Song knew of this, of course, it was because Xu Hailong told him about it.

Yang Song tapped on the table lightly and said, "In my opinion, the so-called black dragon should be a lie. In fact, no one is attacking our sect at all."

When Su Tufei heard this, she was taken aback slightly, "Isn't this opinion too unbelievable?"

"Heh, aunt, you have known me for so many years. Don't you still understand my personality?"

Su Tufei rubbed her wooden cane and nodded slightly, "Right, you are bold and never do things with uncertainty."

"So, I'm pretty sure that it is a lie this time."

"Then who is the inner ghost?"

Yang Song smirked, "Is it hard to guess?"

In Yang Song's opinion, Su Tufei should've already known who the inner ghost was.

Su Tufei sighed with a bit of sadness, "I really picked up the wrong seed. After it got big, it secretly stretched its root to the other side of the wall and intertwined with other trees."

It seemed like she was not speaking to Yang Song but to herself. She then looked at Yang Song, "I'm already very old, not suitable for emotional matter. I will leave this matter to you. In the next period of time, if you need me with anything, go to your uncle's place. You will find me there."

Yang Song nodded, "Leave it me, aunt. You can just retreat and practice with peace of mind. I will only call you and uncle when our sect completely merges with the Sky Decree Sect of Senior Yang."

Speaking of the Sky Decree Sect, a gleam of excitement seemed to appear inside Su Tufei's eyes for a second, but it disappeared a second later.

"I see, do your best."

With that, Su Tufei got up from the seat slowly and walked out with her old cane.

The sound of her cane hitting the ground resounded in a dull manner, when she reached the doorway, Su Tufei stomped her cane one last time and disappeared out of thin air.

With Yang Song's eyes, even if Su Tufei's speed was extremely fast, it was still very slow in his eyes. But he did not care, at least he had confirmed that Su Tufei did not have any malicious intent against her nephew.

Hence, she being one of the inner ghosts was out of question.

From Xu Hailong's words, Su Tufei and the first grand elder did not have any children. It was not that they did not want to, but it was just that it was too hard for powerful warriors like them to conceive children.

Based on this, Su Tufei treated Xu Hailong and Xu Zhihua as her own son and grandson. From the short conversation earlier, although not much was said, as an old monster, Yang Song could confirm that Su Tufei's feeling for Xu Hailong and Xu Zhihua was genuine.

As an ancestor of the Yang Family, even after becoming an immortal cultivator, Yang Song still cared most about familial affections. Yang Song even thought that when he ascended to a higher realm in the future, he would find ways to bring his whole family with him too.

But what was more important was the present, the future was too unforeseeable.

Yang Song disappeared from the meeting hall and disappeared from the temporary residence of the Sky Cloud Sword Sect.

…

Zhong Lifeng was leading a team composed of many elders and disciples back to the Exhausting Sun City, a city where the Sky Cloud Sword Sect's base was stationed in.

"Is it really okay to take this route?" An elder suddenly couldn't help but ask.

Zhong Lifeng answered the other party without looking back, "I know what you're worried about, but we don't have much time left. This is the fastest route to the Exhausting Sun City."

Several elders looked at each other and felt that what Zhong Lifeng said was reasonable.

Now, their sect was in great danger. Therefore, they needed to use their fastest speed to go back to the Exhausting Sun City.

But that elder's worry was also reasonable. After all, the route they were taking would lead them to cross paths with the Dark Thunder Forest.

In the Great Qin Kingdom, if one was asked which was the most dangerous place, then most people would be able to list several of them.. And this Dark Thunder Forest was one of them.
