Even the patriarch Song Ke, who had been in seclusion, was awakened and prepared to fight Yang Cheng.
At this moment, the Song family's council hall was filled with a menacing aura.
The head of the Song family, Song Heon-won, who was also Song Joong-ki's father, said with a worried expression, "Yang Cheng killed Elder Song Tianbei and is now on his way to the Song family with my son."
He destroyed the Great River Gang and forced the Armor Guardian Sect to hand over the secret Armor Guardian Technique. Now it seems he doesn't intend to let go of my Song family's Heavenly Blade either.
There are even rumors in the martial arts world that Zhenwu Hall is preparing to suppress the entire martial arts world, so he needs to collect the secret techniques of all the major sects.
My biggest fear now is that even if our Song family goes all out, we'll end up like the Great River Gang.
A middle-aged man sitting below Song Chengyuan frowned and said, "Patriarch, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid of ending up like the Great River Gang, so my Song family is going to humbly hand over the sword manual?"
Is it because your son is in Yang Cheng's hands that you're hesitant to confront him directly?
This middle-aged man was Song Xiancheng, the head of the Song family's punishment hall. He was usually somewhat dissatisfied with Song Xianyuan, let alone at this time.
"When did I ever say I would grovel and hand over the sword manual? What I meant was that this matter must be treated with care, and we can't always just fight it out!"
Although my son is in Yang Cheng's hands, I had long been prepared for his death. As the head of the family, I have done this much; is that not enough?
Song Xianyuan's eyes were a little red.
Song Joong-ki is his only son, and also his proudest and most valued son.
Compared to him, a mediocre man who was elevated to the position of clan leader due to internal power struggles, Song Joong-ki is undoubtedly more outstanding.
He prioritized the interests of the Song family this time and genuinely never intended to exchange the Heavenly Blade Manual for his own son. He never expected that he would still be questioned for doing so.
Song Xiancheng sneered, "As the head of the family, you are certainly not enough!"
The path of the sword is one of unyielding strength! You, as the head of the family, lack even this courage; how can you lead the family through this crisis?
Just as Song Xianyuan was about to say something, an old man in white carrying a long sword walked in and said in a deep voice, "Shut up!"
In the face of such a calamity, all you do is argue and attack each other. Do you want to start a fight before the enemy even invades?
"Greetings, Ancestor! We dare not!"
Everyone present stood up, and even Song Xiancheng dared not say another word.
This patriarch, Song Ke, is now the true pillar of the Song family, a man of absolute authority.
Just as the Song family patriarch was about to say something, a Song family disciple suddenly ran in and said, "It's terrible! Yang Cheng has led the Zhenwu Hall people to surround the Song family's gate!"
Everyone present was immediately alarmed. How did Yang Cheng arrive so quickly?
Little did they know that with Song Joong-ki leading the way, Yang Cheng and his men were taking a shortcut, making their journey several times faster than before.
The Song family patriarch remained calm, saying in a deep voice, "We'll meet force with force. They've already come to our door, so we have to accept their challenge."
As the group followed the Song family patriarch out of the Song family compound, they saw a large group of Zhenwu Hall black-clad guards standing guard in front of the Song family compound, swords drawn.
These black-clad guards were the elite of the elite, having participated in battles such as the extermination of the White Lotus Sect, the annihilation of the Thirty-Six Great Bandits, the suppression of the Martial Guard Army, and the destruction of the Great River Gang. It can be said that each of them had countless lives on their hands, and their cultivation was not achieved through training but through combat. Now that they were gathered together, their murderous aura was soaring and terrifying.
Yang Cheng rode on his horse, and there was no fluctuation of power around him. However, if a martial artist with a certain level of cultivation closed his eyes, he could feel that the power of the person in front of him was so strong that it was inhuman, like a god or demon descended to earth.
There were also some martial arts practitioners who had come to watch from a distance after receiving the news.
They were also shocked by the scale of Zhenwu Hall and the imposing presence that Yang Cheng exuded.
In particular, although they had heard of Yang Cheng's deeds, they did not expect that this Grand Commander of Zhenwu Hall would be so young.
Three years ago, he seemed to spring from a crack in a rock and became famous throughout the capital.
Three years later, upon emerging from seclusion, he annihilated the White Lotus Sect, wiped out the Thirty-Six Great Bandits, and pacified Dugu City, becoming famous throughout the world.
This Grand Commander of the Zhenwu Hall has now extended his reach to the entire martial arts world. The battle against the Song family is also a battle in which the entire martial arts world wants to find out Yang Cheng's background.
If Song Ke, the patriarch of the Song family, could stop Yang Cheng, that would be fine.
If we can't stop it, it will be a disaster for the entire martial arts world.
