These people were Song Lingxue's family mbers or dependents, and the resources needed for cultivation could be applied for from the Martial Hall, but the Martial Hall would not interfere too much; henceforth, she would have to take care of them herself.
The Martial Hall would not take the initiative to care for ordinary disciples or the relatives of the true inheritors because if there were any negligence, it could lead to unnecessary disputes and troubles. Providing so cultivation resources without further involvent was actually a better choice.
"Junior understands," Song Lingxue nodded in agreent, a hint of hesitation flickering in her eyes. She had wanted to inquire about the news of the Myriad Realms through Xie Xingzhong, wanting to understand more about Chu Zheng's current real situation.
But after careful consideration, Song Lingxue still gave up on this idea. The more she said, the more mistakes she might make; it would be better to wait until her own cultivation improved before finding an opportunity to investigate.
Xie Xingzhong glanced at Song Tonghai and others, then his gaze shifted to Song Lingxue.
Understanding his intent, Song Lingxue raised her hand and summoned Song Yi, to take Song Tonghai and the others away to settle them.
Only after Song Tonghai and the others entered the palace did Song Lingxue turn back with slight confusion, "Senior, do you have any guidance?"
"I heard so rumors in the Battlefield of All Heavens, news brought by reinforcents from the Immortal Alliance. A huge change has occurred in your holand, the Cangyun Realm."
Xie Xingzhong's face was stern:
"The Cangyun Immortal King from the Cangyun Realm… no, he should now be called the Cangyun Immortal Monarch. He slew an Immortal Monarch and several Immortal Kings and Venerables, rebelled against the Immortal Alliance, and fled into the Vast Universe. The higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance are enraged. His bloodline has been implicated; the Primordial Spirit Holy Land has been uprooted!"
Song Lingxue's breath suddenly halted. Over the years, she had corresponded quite a bit with Chu Zheng, and occasionally he ntioned Shang Cangyun, saying that the Cangyun Immortal King was greatly indebted to him, but Chu Zheng did not inform her that Shang Cangyun had committed such a heinous cri!
Xie Xingzhong was indifferent to Song Lingxue's reaction and continued: "However...the bloodline of the Cangyun Immortal Monarch has not been entirely annihilated. So remnants, in desperation, used a world-shaking Immortal Treasure to forcibly break through the passage from the Cangyun Realm to the Vast Universe and fled into it. Several True Immortals pursued them into the Vast Universe but did not return."
Song Lingxue's heart pounded with alarm as she listened intently, fearing she would hear Chu Zheng's na from Xie Xingzhong's lips.
"What I want to say concerns Chu Zheng."
As soon as Xie Xingzhong said this, Song Lingxue's expression changed dramatically: "What does this have to do with my husband?"
"According to leaked information from the Immortal Alliance, before the Cangyun Immortal Monarch rebelled against the Immortal Alliance, a Demon Immortal noticed sothing unusual about Chu Zheng and wanted to capture him for interrogation by the Immortal Alliance, but was unexpectedly thwarted by the projection of the Cangyun Immortal Monarch. Their relationship was close."
"Taixuan Holy Land was also implicated because of this. The Immortal Alliance sent True Immortals to thoroughly investigate Taixuan with no result, but considering that there were still people from Taixuan Holy Land fighting in the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield with military achievents, and no bloodshed occurred, they inflicted a lighter punishnt, only taking away most of Taixuan Holy Land's cultivation resources, Immortal Treasures, and heirloom Fire Seeds, thus demoting it from the ranks of Holy Lands."
Shang Cangyun's identity was too special. Even the slightest association with him could bring unbearable weight to Taixuan Holy Land, as if its foundation of tens of thousands of years was lost in a single day.
"There is also so news about Chu Zheng. Rumor has it that Shang Cangyun forcefully made a move at the Starry Sky Barrier and battled with an Immortal Monarch to send soone into the Myriad Realms. According to the Immortal Alliance's deductions, there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that this person is Chu Zheng!"
Xie Xingzhong's expression turned even more solemn, and his tone grew heavier: "The Immortal Alliance has already issued a strict order and even dispatched Immortal Path Cultivators secretly to the Myriad Realms, all to capture Chu Zheng with all their might. Even bringing back his residual soul will suffice!"
"Martial Hall and Immortal Alliance are, after all, cooperating. Your relationship with Chu Zheng must not be revealed to others, and the fact that you can communicate with him must not be disclosed to anyone, not even a single word. Do you understand the stakes at hand?"
Only he and Yu Ning within the Martial Hall knew that Chu Zheng and Song Lingxue were husband and wife. Keeping this news under wraps was not challenging.
"Junior understands."
Regaining her composure, Song Lingxue's gaze deepened, and she gave a respectful bow, expressing her gratitude: "Thank you, senior, for informing . I shall repay this kindness in the future!"
Xie Xingzhong's words represented his stance, and to her, it was an imnse favor.
"As long as you are aware, try to contact Chu Zheng as little as possible. Any thod may leave traces and risk detection. Also, warn your father and others. I have said all there is to say."
Having finished a series of remarks, Xie Xingzhong unwittingly wiped his sweaty palms. He had never imagined that Chu Zheng would stir up such trouble. At such a young age, he had gotten involved with an Immortal Monarch and even alard the entire Immortal Alliance into pursuing him.
His minuscule cultivation base was so exaggerated it bordered on the preposterous.
Song Lingxue did not say more and, after another bow, turned and stepped into the palace.
She found a Quiet Room to ditate in, locked down the Formation to isolate all disturbances, and then, only then, did she take out the Spirit Communication Jade Scroll. After thinking for a long ti, she finally wrote down a ssage:
[May you be safe, my lord.]
```
[The Immortal Alliance has learned of your husband's connection with the Cangyun Immortal Monarch, implicating both greatly, with Primordial Spirits entirely wiped out. The bloodline of the Shang Family has been scattered into the Vast Universe, and Taixuan has thus been burdened, all year gathering a foundation that has now completely eroded, though fortunately without shedding a drop of blood.]
[Furthermore, the Immortal Alliance has secretly dispatched cultivators into the Ten Thousand Realms to hunt for your husband, with unspecified cultivation levels, please proceed with caution.]
[As for the ssages, leave no trace unless necessary, cut all communication otherwise, all is well, do not fret.]
```
After concisely revealing so information, Song Lingxue put away the Spirit Communication Jade Scroll, and exhaled deeply with turbid Qi, her organs aching due to the tension in her heartstrings.
At this mont, there was little she could do except try her best not to cause trouble for Chu Zheng; she would have to wait to see the Hall Master of the Martial Hall before making any further plans.
Thinking of this, a subtle worry erged within Song Lingxue.
The Hall Master of the Martial Hall, Ji Zhouyin, was a Supre Being who had stepped into the Ancestral Realm.
The Ancestral Realm was the absolute pinnacle, the end of the Dao, rumored to be able to see the past and future lives of all living creatures, omniscient.
Facing such a realm, she truly felt unsure, but now she could only take one step at a ti.

Ti flew swiftly, and at the end of the month, Song Lingxue received a ssage from the Martial Hall on ti.
The Hall Master of the Martial Hall had finally found the ti to summon her.
After calming her emotions, Song Lingxue walked out of the Quiet Room where she had been in seclusion, her expression serene.
Her wounds, nourished by dicinal cuisine and the Blood Fiend's essence, had almost fully healed. After eting Ji Zhouyin today, she would know which path lay ahead.
Life or death, all hinged on this eting.
Xie Xingzhong had been waiting outside early; not far away, a light portal to an unknown place was already activated.
Upon seeing Song Lingxue erge, he did not say much, simply gesturing with his hand. Xie Xingzhong's eyebrows were laden with gravity, as he had not been inford of the Hall Master's intention to see Song Lingxue himself, and this had slightly thrown him off balance.
This was the Hall Master of the Martial Hall, a Supre Being of the Ancestral Realm. In the Great Universe, what could possibly be kept from him?
"Be very careful."
Xie Xingzhong still reminded her, then stepped aside to let Song Lingxue pass into the light portal, without following.
As Song Lingxue stepped through the light portal, she did not notice any spatial fluctuations or feelings of discomfort, as if she had rely passed through an ordinary door.
Beyond the light portal was a simple Stone Hall, its stones a shade of purple-black, engraved with indecipherable patterns, and the sound of souls wailing and roaring seed to echo in her ears.
A figure was seated not far away, wearing a grey robe, close to forty years of age, with an ordinary appearance and no distin
guishing features, and of dium height.
Under these circumstances, the identity of this person before her was not difficult to guess.
Song Lingxue bowed respectfully, her deanor reverent:
"Greetings to the Hall Master."
"Your luck is good. Today, you have the chance to be 'Observing the Eons.'"
Ji Zhouyin examined Song Lingxue with a slight movent in his eyes, his tone indifferent:
"Not every True Inheritor has this privilege; it is a special permission from the Martial Ancestor."
In the short ti before, Song Lingxue had read many scrolls and gained deeper understanding of the Martial Hall.
Only one in the Martial Path could be ancestor nad "Martial."
That was the Martial Ancestor, the one who enjoyed all the Heavenly Fate of the Martial Path, a legendary figure on par with the Immortal Ancestor, second only to the Ancestral Dao in the Great Universe, a terrifying giant!
