Returning to Qinglian Mountain, Wang Mingyuan personally presided over the funeral of Wang Yaoliang and the three of them. They had a grand funeral and announced in public that they would improve the treatment of the three descendants.
After the funeral, Wang Changsheng came to the study and reported to Wang Mingyuan the process of learning to refine weapons.
"Well, that's right. Learn how to refine weapons. The family will depend on you in the future."
Wang Mingyuan encouraged.
"Dad, the Liu family participated in the attack on Ninth Uncle. Why do we still need to cooperate with the Liu family? Can't we cooperate with other families?"
Wang Changsheng hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"The three families of Song, Liu and Sun jointly deal with our Wang family. Only by cooperating with the Liu family can we divide them. Without real benefits, the Liu family will not give up. The world is bustling with people coming and going for profit. You have to remember, Family interests are always higher than personal interests, and a family that puts personal interests above family interests will never exist for long."
Wang Mingyuan warned solemnly.
Wang Changsheng suddenly understood and asked curiously: "Dad, how did you deceive the Liu family? The quarry is obviously a mineral vein, how could it turn into a spiritual vein? Is there really a spiritual vein there?"
"Of course not, there is no such thing as such a good thing. There is a set of phantom array talismans in the clan's treasury, which can be used to arrange a second-level low-grade phantom array. Everything Liu Huaijie sees is illusion, even if it is a foundation-building monk or a second-level phantom array. Even if a low-level formation master goes there in person, he won't find anything unusual."
"So that's it, what about the Sun family! How did the second uncle make the Sun family stop?"
"Hmph, these people are too late to gain anything. They gave us a set of earth-attribute Huangpin second-level skills, and the Sun family just gave up! If our family is strong, why should we compromise, and others will not bully them like this. We, at the end of the day, our family is too weak. Son, your eldest generation is the future of the family, so don’t slack off and practice diligently."
Wang Changsheng nodded and agreed, and the family rented the shop and gave away the exercises, so that the two families were settled.
"The Song family is the mastermind of this matter. The reason why the Liu and Sun families agreed to help is because there are mineral veins in the quarry. Without the mineral veins, and the two families have taken advantage of us, they will naturally not cooperate with the Song family. But the Song family will definitely not have an easy time this time. Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. You can go back and learn to refine weapons! Try to become a weapon refiner.”
"Yes, kid, please leave."
…
Pingyang County, Song family.
Song Ziyang was furious. He originally agreed that the three families would unite to deal with the Wang family, and the Liu family and the Sun family would withdraw. Instead, they joined forces to blackmail the Song family, saying that the Song family's intelligence was wrong, and the quarry was obviously a first-class mid-level mine. Spiritual veins, not mineral veins, this is what the members of their two families have seen with their own eyes.
Both the Sun family and the Liu family died, and the Song family made trouble and asked the Song family to compensate for the losses.
Song Ziyang was of course not to be outdone and brought out his son-in-law. His son-in-law was Lin Huaian, the head of the Lin family in Hongye Ridge. His ability to become the head of the family had a lot to do with Lin Huaian.
I thought that with the help of the Lin family's reputation in Hongye Ridge, I could scare off the Sun and Liu families.
Unexpectedly, the Liu family and the Sun family brought up the Wang, Zhao, and Zhang families, and the five families married each other. It was the Song family who proposed to deal with the Wang family. If the Song family refused to give in, the Liu family and the Sun family would support the Wang family in taking revenge on the Song family. This is a naked threat.
Facing two immortal-cultivating families, Song Ziyang still had some confidence, but with five immortal-cultivating families, he didn't have the courage. To be precise, he couldn't bring out enough benefits for the Lin family to stand up for him.
In the end, Song Tianming came forward and gave up some benefits. Only then did the Sun family and the Liu family agree not to support the Wang family in retaliating against the Song family.
Song Ziyang sent away the representatives of the Sun family and the Liu family, and immediately came to the secret room where Song Tianming practiced.
"Second uncle, the Liu and Sun families have gone too far to bully others. I will write a letter to Huai'an and ask him to help him out."
Song Tianming's eyes widened and he reprimanded unceremoniously: "Okay, isn't it embarrassing enough? It's true that Huai'an is your son-in-law. Will he face five families for our Song family? This matter is ours in the first place. Reasonably speaking, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have agreed to your attack on the Wang family, now it's okay, you shot yourself in the foot."
"Second uncle, it's all the Wang family who is behind this. I don't know what tricks the Wang family is playing. I don't blame you for asking the Liu family and the Sun family to stop."
Song Tianming shook his head and said seriously: "If you make a mistake, you have to admit it. Knowing your mistake can make a lot of improvements. It's not too late to know your mistake now."
At this time, a middle-aged man with an elegant face walked in.
"Second uncle, eldest brother."
Song Tianming nodded and said seriously: "Zixian came just in time. I have something very important to announce. From today on, you will be the head of the Song family. From now on, Ziyang will stay in the secret room next door to practice without my instructions. You are not allowed to step out of the secret room, otherwise you will be severely punished."
Song Ziyang's face turned pale, his legs softened, he knelt down and cried: "Second uncle, you can't destroy me, my father was very kind to you during his lifetime! My son-in-law is Lin Huaian, and I am the best choice as the head of the family. You can’t destroy me.”
When Song Tianming saw Song Ziyang like this, he felt more and more disgusted and sneered: "If you are allowed to be the master of the family again, the clan will be exterminated sooner or later. This time you got greedy and united with the Sun and Liu families to deal with the Wang family. In the end, you shot yourself in the foot. , it’s also my fault that I was deceived by lard and listened to your slander, otherwise I wouldn’t be in this situation today. If you get greedy again next time and deal with other families, I’m afraid you won’t let it go so easily. If you are in charge, the Song family will perish sooner or later, and what I can’t stand the most is that you can’t even tell the difference between spiritual veins and spiritual mines.”
"Second uncle, the quarry is obviously a mineral vein, not a spiritual vein at all. The Wang family must have deliberately created an illusion to deceive the Liu family and the Sun family."
Song Ziyang retorted unwillingly.
"Here's the evidence! If you can get a piece of ore, the Liu family and the Sun family will not quit. Both the Liu family and the Sun family sent people to the quarry to see. It is obviously a spiritual vein. The Wang family has cultivated on the spiritual vein. In Lingtian, the Wang family members frequently come and go to transport materials to build formations. You mistakenly thought they were transporting ore. Don't tell me that the Liu family and the Sun family are all blind. They can't even tell the difference between spiritual veins and spiritual mines. In a few days, even if the Wang family sets up a spirit gathering array, the soil will not contain enough spiritual energy, and the roots of the spiritual plants will not penetrate deeply into the soil. The Sun family sent a first-level mid-level array mage to quarry the stone. I haven’t seen anything unusual in the field, do you still want to quibble?”
Song Tianming rolled his eyes at Song Ziyang and scolded him mercilessly.
"Second uncle, the eldest brother is also thinking about the family. He has worked hard all these years without complaint. You should spare him this time! After this lesson, the eldest brother will not do it again."
Song Zixian hesitated for a moment and interceded for Song Ziyang.
Song Ziyang is Lin Huaian's father-in-law. Song Zixian may not be able to secure the position of head of the family, so he might as well take the initiative to give way.
"Yes! Second uncle, I won't dare to do it next time, please forgive me this time!"
Song Tianming snorted softly and said coldly: "Humph, I'm not dead yet! I still have the final say in the Song family. Lin Huaian is always an outsider. It is not his turn to take care of the Song family's family affairs. Zixian, you become the head of the family. What are you going to do next?"
After this incident, he was determined to remove Song Ziyang.
He wants to take advantage when there is an advantage, and shirks responsibility when something goes wrong. This kind of person is not suitable to be the head of the family. If Song Ziyang took the initiative to admit his mistakes, Song Tianming could let him continue to be the head of the family, but Song Ziyang never admitted his mistakes from the beginning to the end.
When Song Ziyang heard this, he collapsed on the ground, his face pale.
Song Tianming already treats Song Zixian as the head of the family, and he has no chance.
Song Zixian thought for a while and said: "Wang Yaozong went to Qingzhufang City and said that evil cultivators attacked the Wang family. The Wang family didn't want to make the matter bigger. In this case, let's treat it as if it was done by evil cultivators. Of course. , after all, we did something wrong. If my nephew remembers correctly, it will be Wang Mingyuan’s birthday in one month. We can send someone to celebrate his birthday, hoping to repair the relationship between the two families. No matter what, superficial skills are more important. Do it well, and also comfort the family members of the deceased clan members, after all, they are also acting under orders, and the fault is not theirs."
"Well, let's do it! Take Ziyang down. Without my instructions, if he dares to step out of the secret room, he will be punished for treason and will be killed without mercy."
"Huai'an is my eldest brother's son-in-law after all, and Huiyun is the mother-in-law of the Lin family. I think it's enough to abolish eldest brother's position as head of the family. There's no need to imprison him!"
Song Zixian hesitated for a moment and suggested.
Song Tianming waved his hand and ordered: "No, do you think he has repented? If you don't imprison him, it will only affect your ability to handle family affairs. That's it, take him down! I don't want to see him again. .”
Song Zixian felt happy in his heart, and he agreed on the surface, helped Song Ziyang, who was ashen-faced, and exited the secret room.
