Faraway, in the distant mountain of China, somewhere high in the mountain, a powerful sect known as the Ghost Valley sect resides.
The ghost valley sect is one of the three great sects belonging to the demonic category in the world of cultivation, standing on the same ground as the five ancient families, and three imperial clans!
The ghost valley peaks are covered in ghostly mist, mortals would occasionally hear the howling of resentful ghosts and vengeful spirits during the night as they drive past the mountain.
However, people tend to treat this phenomenon as natural owls, and wild animals' howls.
As you step into the ghost valley, not only is there a ghostly mist, but there are also countless ghosts and spirits roaming in the mist in addition to the outer elders who are responsible for guarding the gates.
Deep inside the ghost valley, on top of the peak of blood fiend mountain, is the headquarters of the sect master, the Blood Prince, a peaked Heaven immortal cultivator!
"What is the attitude of the Mo and Yan's families toward this Song's family?" The Blood Prince, Xing Yue, coldly asked, with his hand supporting his chin.
"We have sent a secret message to the Mo and Yan's family to seek an alliance to deal with the Song Family now that their family head, Song Yi, are weakened and injured from the great battle eighty years ago..." Elder Zang Pu bowed, then replied with a devious, malicious look as he twitches his green-covered fingers.
"But… It seems like they are still hesitant to take action, afraid of the hidden card that the Song's Family may have left!"
"Foolish!" The Blood prince shouted with bloodshot eyes, gnashing his teeth, unable to hold back the thought that slipped out of his mind," We waited for a whole seventy years! These worms have been under the Song's family for hundreds of years acting like sheep."
"Even during that year, I didn't participate in the battle and my decision was right!"
"Seventy years! That bastard Song Yi didn't appear once in seventy years after being cursed by the outer gods, clearly, he is on his deathbed, I wouldn't be surprised if he already died from the outer god's curse and the news is suppressed!" He cursed, covering his right eye which had an empty socket in it.
Upon feeling the pain that throbbed from the right eye, he grew even more furious and foamed with hatred," Why else would the Song Family be isolated since then!?"
Hearing this, Zang Pu nodded, growing a hint of dissatisfaction toward the Mo and Yan's family, two of the five ancient families on earth.
In their eyes, the Song's family is a paper tiger, all they need is a slight push and it would burn to ashes!
Meanwhile, on Thousand Bamboo Island, at Song Cang's living space which is one of the big villas placed on one of the peaks on the island.
"What? She cursed and chased you out telling me to not chase after that young miss?" Song Cang furrowed his brows, looking at Song Zi, then grew impatient as he snort," How powerful can her backing be for Song Yin to act this cowardly?"
At this moment, Song Zi chimed in and angrily growled," Brother Cang, we, the Song family have held our prestige for thousands of years, do you think we need to fear any clans or family?"
Then, Song Fa arrogantly added," Even the Three Great Sect, Five Ancient Family, and the Imperial Clans have to give us face in front of the Song's family, let alone these lousy power!"
Hearing this, Song Cang grew even more agitated, showing distaste toward Song Yin's attitude, smack the table, and said," Come with me, I will see for myself who this little sister come from to be so pretentious in front of our Song's Family!"
...
"Why would those outer gods want your purple bamboo?" Tulan raised her soft brows, causing her mound to lightly shake, which results in a couple of coughs from Song Jia and Song Yi.
"Actually, during that battle eighty years ago, I discovered that they weren't the ones that wanted our purple bamboo, there is a greater power behind them."
At this point, Song Jia had already grown numb to the continuous stream of information revealed by their conversation, remaining silent.
Tulan however, was startled upon hearing the mention of greater power," Greater power, there is another power that controls these outer gods?"
"Exactly! The outer gods weren't aware of our purple bamboo, it was actually the Star Palace that tasked the outer gods to invade our star system in order to seize our song's family purple bamboo!" He angrily pounds the stone table, but because the entire mountain is made by Ancestor Fu, it didn't cause a dent nor shudder.
"Not only that, my injuries from eighty years ago have caused some vultures to eye my song's family, I'm afraid not only will I be threatened by external threats, I have to face those internal threats as well." Just then, Song Jia shook his head, letting out a sigh, and looked at the ceiling, unable to form a clear thought on the situation.
Hearing Song Yi's helpless ordeal, Tulan stared into his eyes, seeing the paramount pressure and responsibilities that were reflected in his lifeless eyes, burdened by being the head of the song's family.
Of course, she had no plan on interfering with the affairs of this star stream.
"If only Ancestor Fu didn't leave back then, if only our Human Sage, Song Zan didn't leave the star system..." He lamented, reminiscent of the past.
Just then, Song Jia chimed in from the side," Father left back then due to the limit of this star's system, he wanted to break through and reach the nascent soul realm... Using the space shuttle left behind by Ancestor Fu, he was able to leave the star system and went to another system in order to pursue a higher realm."
Song Yi replaced his exhausted face with a bitter smile and said," Lady Snow White, it is about to be night time, if you have any other questions, we can always discuss them tomorrow. Would you like to stay here for the night?"
"No need, I have already heard what I needed to hear." She rejected, then stood up from her seat, which was followed by Song Jia and Song Yi.
Actually, the moment she learned that the purple bamboo was called Purple Bane-Lightning Golden Bamboo, she already had all she needed to know. A
s Song Yi continue to spill the secrets regarding the Song's family, speculation appeared in her heart.
Whether this speculation was true, she would naturally confront Yu Yan about it!
They both lowered their head in disappointment, then raised their arm to welcome her way out.
As they looked at her figure, she seemed to pause for a moment, this caused them to be confused," Lady Snow White?"
Before they could look up to meet her face, she vanished from where she stood, leaving behind a soft, calming ethereal voice," If you need any assistance, come find Young Master's Yan on his stream!"
