Chapter 145: Chapter 112: Song Family Misfortune, Whereabouts_2

```

"Master, I shall take my leave first."

Zuo Lingzhi slightly nodded, closing her eyelids.

Miao Luan stepped out of the great hall at a leisurely pace, her mind slightly relaxed, the stronger Chu Zheng was, the safer her Life Soul would be.

The only thing she worried about now was how she could repay Chu Zheng double for this life in the future.

Chu Zheng had a large appetite, and was insatiably greedy, definitely not someone easy to satisfy.

In the past, he did not even want to leave her a vestment robe; from this, one could see his character.

...

...

In Giant Marsh Country, on Wild Goose Wing Island, at the Song Residence.

In the main hall of the mansion, a few scattered silhouettes stood, Song Tongxuan, Song Tonghai, and the siblings Song Lingfeng and Lingping, all were present.

At the moment, several people were looking at a young man standing not far away, all with somewhat solemn expressions.

Clothed in black, the man appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, very young, but his cultivation was not to be underestimated, having already reached Soul Condensing.

"This one... how should we address you?" Song Tongxuan's complexion was slightly flushed, seemingly somewhat excited.

"Song Li."

The man spoke indifferently, his gaze lingering on the bodies of Song Lingfeng and his sister for a moment, his expression became gentler:

"We are all closely related by blood; there is no need to be overly formal."

"True Immortal noble family... is it a mistake?"

Song Tonghai spoke with a hesitant tone, starkly different from the reaction of Song Tongxuan next to him.

Accustomed to caution, the sudden arrival of this person led to his first reaction being one of doubt about the truth of his claims.

He had also heard some details about Ling Qing and Lingxue's current situations from Chu Zheng and was worried that this person's intentions were not as simple as seeking kin.

After all, he had never heard from his parents or elders about the supposed Song Family's Main Lineage.

"Tonghai, no need to worry excessively. With the cultivation of this... fellow clan Superior Immortal, how could there be a mistake?"

Song Tongxuan waved his hand, his eyes betraying undeniable excitement:

"When I was young, I heard father mention that the Song Family had produced an Immortal before. Over the years, I didn't give it much thought, assuming it was an Immortal Seedling, but to think it is actually a True Immortal!"

True Immortal Noble Family, what a glorious status.

He had spent so much effort over the years, just to make connection with a branch sect of Qionglou; however, compared to a True Immortal Noble Family, even the main sect of Qionglou could not hold a candle.

The difference was self-evident.

Hearing this, Song Tonghai's eyes flickered slightly, and he said no more.

Less said, less mistake; it was better to quietly observe. This Song Li, the current Song Family could not afford to provoke.

"I will not make a mistake, the blood purity of those two is very high, Ancestral Return has already occurred, they are undoubtedly of the Song Family bloodline."

Song Li pointed towards Song Lingfeng and his sister, and said slowly, "Returning to the clan, through the sacred Secret Techniques of our ancestors, their aptitudes can be further improved."

At these words, both Song Lingfeng and Lingping took a deep breath.

Further improvement in aptitude determined the ultimate height of one's path to immortality; no cultivator could remain calm in the face of this.

At the words, Song Tongxuan's joy deepened, and he tentatively asked:

"Then... when can we return to the main lineage?"

"No rush."

Song Li gave a slight shake of his head, then took out a piece of silk cloth, on which there was a section of Blood Jade Wall divided into six parts:

"I am here in the Southern Region for a task. Have you seen anything similar to this Jade Wall in your home? It should be a piece of Remnant Jade."

"This..."

Song Tongxuan carefully examined it for a long while, speaking uncertainly, "There seems to be a trace of memory, like I have seen it."

"Where?"

Song Li's eyes narrowed, the tranquility in his demeanor showing a slight ripple. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seeing this, Song Tonghai next to him couldn't help but have a thought; perhaps this person's true purpose was for this jade and not to seek kin.

"I can't quite recall at the moment."

Song Tongxuan furrowed his brow in deep thought, then after a long pause shook his head and sighed lightly,

"Over the years, we've been displaced and lost many things; even if I have seen it, I don't know if it's still there now. Is this object very important?"

"Family Heritage Blood Jade, naturally it is important."

Song Li frowned slightly, then spoke again:

"Think about it carefully again; if you can find this piece of Remnant Jade, their status in the Song Family will change considerably, and their path to cultivation will benefit from it, gaining substantial support within the clan."

Just as Song Tongxuan was becoming anxious, Lingping, who had been staring at the silk cloth, suddenly spoke,

"I have seen it in the Mansion's Treasury."

Song Tongxuan's face brightened slightly, "Is that true?"

Song Li's reaction was even more direct, as he asked plainly, "Where is the Mansion's Treasury?"

"Follow me."

Song Tongxuan did not dare to delay and immediately turned to lead the way.

The group soon arrived in front of the Mansion's Treasury. Song Li circulated his mana and took out all the items inside the treasury to examine them one by one.

After a while, he withdrew his hand, a hint of disappointment in his eyes, "Not here."

Song Tongxuan also felt a bit downhearted, turning to look at Song Lingping:

"Lingping, could it be that you remembered wrong?"

"Impossible."

Song Lingping shook her head vigorously, "My memory isn't that poor. The year before last, when I was looking for spiritual medicine in the Mansion's Treasury, I saw it. I couldn't have mistaken it."

A cultivator would not have such a poor memory.

"Bring the treasury's transaction records."

Song Tongxuan immediately turned back and called for the steward.

The steward hurried over and presented the detailed accounts of the Mansion's Treasury.

The treasuries of large noble families all have stringent record-keeping. Each transaction is detailed.

Furthermore, every year the treasury is tallied by a dedicated person to ensure there is no discrepancy, not even by a single silver coin.

Song Tongxuan flipped through last year's accounts, comparing them to the items in the treasury, and soon made a discovery.

"There is indeed one piece of jade missing that doesn't match any withdrawal record."

Upon hearing this, Song Li's gaze narrowed slightly, "Has anyone outside been in the treasury during this time?"

"No..."

Song Tongxuan replied subconsciously, then his expression changed, "Only Chu the Immortal, but he didn't take anything."

"A cultivator?"

Song Li's gaze instantly grew sharp, "Where is this person now?"

If it was a cultivator, it was indeed possible that he had noticed the uniqueness of the Blood Jade, since it was the key to opening the Secret Realm, and the jade itself was a Spirit Jade.

"He left some time ago."

Song Tongxuan responded and looked towards Song Tonghai, frowning slightly, "Tonghai, did that Chu the Immortal tell you where he was going?"

"This..."

Song Tonghai felt a chill in his heart but managed to show a troubled expression:

"I am not acquainted with this Superior Immortal. We met by chance and journeyed together. However, I believe he would not commit such theft."

Song Li, clearly not intending to dwell on this matter, looked at Song Tongxuan and spoke plainly, "Do you have a portrait of this person?"

"A portrait..."

Song Tongxuan's expression changed and he immediately said, "I will find an artist now!"

"There's no need, I have one."

Song Lingfeng took out a portrait with a slight sigh,

"This person has already been pursued with a bounty for his crime. It seems he was not of good repute to begin with. Previously, out of consideration for my uncle, I didn't make it difficult for him and let him go."

At this moment, he felt a hint of regret. If he had known that Chu Zheng's relationship with his uncle was ordinary, he would have gathered some fellow disciples that day to keep the man behind.

Upon seeing the portrait, Song Li momentarily exclaimed in shock:

"Chu Zheng?!"

He had access to information channels that were far broader than those of the Song family.

Recently, Song Xian from the clan, while searching for Song Clan blood relations in Great Zhou, encountered Chu Zheng from Taixuan Holy Land impeding his progress; this had already spread within the Song family.

Chu Zheng's encounter with a bounty and the involvement in the dispute over the Holy Lands were also known to Song Li,

"Do you know of this man?" Song Lingfeng was somewhat surprised.

In the past few days, because of the Spirit Pill given by his uncle, he had been in closed-door cultivation, unaware of the outside world's changes, and still unknowing of Chu Zheng's true identity.

"This person is the Chief Disciple of Taixuan Holy Land's True Transmission."

After calming down, Song Li's gaze flickered.

Again, Taixuan Holy Land...

It seemed that now, they must ask the clan elders to make a trip.

Chu Zheng, as the Chief Disciple of one of the Holy Lands, was somehow involved with the Song family of the Southern Region, a family not well known.

Aside from that Secret Realm, Song Li could think of no other motive.

This man had survived so far despite being bounty-hunted by several Holy Lands together; certainly, he was no benevolent character, and his own strength was far from sufficient.
