Chapter 756 Deepest background

Yang Qing cleared his mind and continued to read about the Shi family. As he read further he discovered that the Shi family had been stagnating in their alchemy skills and were slowly being pushed away from the scene by a rival clan, the Luo clan which though had a shorter history in comparison to the Shi family, had already caught up to them and exceeded them to the point they had even garnered the cooperative deals with a few prominent organizations with one of them even being the rank 2, Maple leaf manor.

The then clan leader, afraid that his clan would lose out to the Luo clan, accepted the Zhou Clan's offer to venture into the Deer Mountain Range. The range was already known for its rich resources, it was just that the spirit beasts that called the place home deterred most from venturing into the place. There were even rumors back then about a domain expert dying within it which made most human cultivators wary of visiting the place.

The Shi clan leader out of a deep sense of crisis and determination to help his family move forward, journeyed to the Deer Mountain Range without hesitation.

As for the remaining two families, while he had been more curious about the Shi family because they seemed to have more resources and a huge web of connections, his judgment had been off as it turned out that amongst the six families, the Song family was the one with the deepest background.

Within the information, the author surmised that the other families likely did not know about the true background of the Song family, and after reading through their story, Yang Qing supported that guess too.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

The Song family had been part of the now-known Deng Dynasty, but 200,000 years ago, it went by a different name, the Song Dynasty, a rank 2 empire in its heyday, which it presently was still, but under a different name. The Song family presently resided in the Deer Mountain Range as one of the large noble clans within the Deer Mountain Kingdom but it had once been the ruling family of the Song Empire. However, their position had been usurped, not by the Deng family who currently ruled the Empire they called theirs once upon a time, but by one of their own, a branch of their family.

With them standing as a witness, the three empires agreed on how to share the grotto and its resources, with no doubt the Sixteen Heavenly Stars Treasure Pavilion having some shares in it not only for its services as the witness but also as a protective cover for the three empires that lacked a soul formation expert. To protect themselves against rank 1 organizations, allying with one was the only way, and it came at a cost that they gladly paid.

But even with the war ending, its effects still lived, more so to the ruling families of these empires who committed all they could as they stood to gain much more if things went their way. After the war, one of the remaining two domain experts from the Song main branch succumbed to his injuries and died, leaving only one. The main branch had thought even with the losses they had suffered they had nothing to worry about because they had more domain experts in their branches, only for years later for the branches to turn on them and seize the throne.

The last surviving domain expert sacrificed his life and created an escape path for the main branch, even then not many escaped as it wasn't only the side branches that turned on them but the other noble families within the Song dynasty did so too.

Luckily for them, the side branches were too busy trying to stabilize the situation in the Empire to go after them. The Empire was fragmented for a while as the Song side branches and the other major noble families all tried to get their hands on the throne and by default, access to the grotto.

However, in the end, it was a dark horse in the name of the Deng family that stood over the rest when a one-in-a-million genius appeared among their descendants who tore through all opposition in just a decade with the Song family being the biggest step stone to his rise as he eviscerated them root and stem, which turned out to be a blessing for the main branch who were in hiding, always afraid of being pursued by the branch family.

Eventually, the members of the main branch split into different groups with one of the groups making its way to the barren hinterlands that were at the border of the Deer Mountain Range.
