When Song Joong-ki first appeared, he was incredibly arrogant, believing that he, as the young master of the Song family and with the reputation of the Tianhe Song family, could overpower Yang Cheng. However, he ended up getting a severe beating.
This guy is now shamelessly trying to become Yang Cheng's spy, stealing his own martial arts techniques without any remorse. He truly embodies the essence of shamelessness.
However, Yang Cheng suddenly became interested in this guy.
Some of these heirs to powerful martial arts sects rely on talent, some on ability, but Song Joong-ki seems to rely on shamelessness.
Actually, Song Joong-ki didn't want things to be this way, but he really had no other choice.
The Song family of Tianhe would never exchange something of the caliber of the Heavenly Blade Manual for a successor.
Even if he could be replaced, he would definitely be severely punished and lose his position as heir after returning to the Song family.
If Yang Cheng had directly attacked the Song family to demand the sword manual, that would have been fine. But now Yang Cheng used him as an excuse to go to the Song family, so the Song family elders will definitely be angry with him.
Therefore, he would rather steal the sword manual for Yang Cheng than choose either of these two paths.
Looking at Song Joong-ki, Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "Your idea is not bad, but unfortunately I don't need it."
If the Song family won't hand over the sword manual, then I'll just take it by force. Do you think the Song family can stop me?
Anyone who tries to stop me will die!
Song Joong-ki shuddered at the thought of Yang Cheng's terrifying strength.
"Your Majesty is so powerful that you are not afraid of the Song family. However, if you want to collect all the martial arts techniques in the world, you will inevitably have to deal with all the major sects in the world."
I humbly request that you allow me to stay by your side as an advisor to devise strategies.
I'm not bragging, but I've studied the personalities of all the leaders and successors of the major sects in the entire martial arts world, as well as the key figures within those sects.
"If you're willing to spare my life, I, Song Zhongji, will definitely be able to bring you many conveniences!"
Song Joong-ki doesn't want to die, nor does he want to return to his family and die there.
Moreover, he might not have a chance to return to his family. Given Yang Cheng's personality, if the Song family didn't hand over the sword manual, they would definitely be wiped out.
So his allegiance to Yang Cheng was indirectly helping the Song family; otherwise, all those stubborn old men would have died!
Yang Cheng looked at Song Zhongji with a half-smile: "You chose to side with me so easily, aren't you afraid that others will say you are an accomplice to evil?"
And you, the young master of the prestigious Song family of Tianhe, the heir of one of the five great families, why aren't you studying your Song family's Heavenly Blade, but instead studying others?
Song Joong-ki shook his head and said, "This is not what it means to be an accomplice to a tyrant. My decision to join forces with you, Grand Commander, is a wise move to adapt to the times."
Actually, I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, Grand Commander, but I am quite aware of my own strength. Among the younger generation of the Song family, I am the strongest, but I am not much stronger than others, let alone those extraordinary talents throughout history.
So even if I mastered the Heavenly Blade Technique to its peak, I would still only be a mediocre family head.
It would be better to focus on other things, like figuring out alliances and strategies among the major sects. This would not only elevate the Song family's status but also improve one's own.
Yang Cheng nodded naturally.
At first, he thought Song Joong-ki was a brainless guy, but now it seems that this guy has too many thoughts and too much brain.
He might spare his life, but Yang Cheng didn't care at all.
Wei Lingyun was a seasoned veteran of the martial arts world and had a good understanding of the major factions there.
However, Wei Lingyun only had a basic understanding of the situation and could recognize some important figures. He certainly didn't have the same thorough understanding as Song Zhongji, so keeping him around was still somewhat useful.
"Since you put it that way, I'll give you the position of commander of the Zhenwu Hall first."
However, our Zhenwu Hall does not accept useless people; you must first prove your worth.
"I'm determined to get the Song family's Heavenly Blade Manual. What are your thoughts?"
Joining Zhenwu Hall was a pledge of loyalty to one's own family, but Song Zhongji did not hesitate at all.
He gritted his teeth and said, "With the Grand Commander's strength, it would be easy to destroy the Song family, but there are also ways to do it effortlessly."
The Song family are a bunch of stubborn old men who won't listen to reason. We have to beat them until they completely break down.
The current head of the Song family is my father, Song Xianyuan. Grand Commander, you don't need to waste your breath on him.
My father was weak-willed and suspicious. His becoming the head of the family was a product of the balance of power among various factions within the Song family, so he didn't have much influence within the clan.
Another powerful figure in the family is my second uncle, Song Xiancheng. He is in charge of the Punishment Hall. He is decisive and ruthless, and he is domineering and aggressive. So if you, Grand Commander, ask him for the cultivation technique, he will absolutely not compromise. He might even incite the entire Song family to fight you to the death. This person must be killed first!
The strongest person in the entire Song family now is my family's ancestor, "Heavenly Blade" Song Ke, who has been in seclusion for many years studying the way of the blade and has not paid attention to family affairs.
"As long as you, Grand Commander, can defeat him head-on and threaten my father, the Heavenly Blade Manual will be yours for the taking!"
Yang Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "He's still a member of your Song family, yet you sold him off so quickly."
Song Zhongji felt no burden whatsoever and said righteously, "I am now your man, Grand Commander. Besides, I did this to save them. They are ungrateful and cannot blame me!"
Yang Cheng patted Song Joong-ki on the shoulder with a half-smile: "Young man, you have a bright future."
After saying that, Yang Cheng and the others, led by Song Zhongji, took a shortcut and headed straight for the Song family's house.
The Song family was neither the Dajiang Gang nor the Jiayu faction, and in their haste, they had no idea what Yang Cheng was up to.
Therefore, when Yang Cheng went to the Song family, the entire Song family was already in a state of preparation for war.
Some of the clan's elite experts are already fully prepared and ready to go, and some clansmen who are away have also been called back to the clan.
