Immortality Path: From the Blind Man at the Pharmacy
Chapter 264 - 151, 152. Xuanwu Swallowing the Moon, Crushing the Elusive Monk (Big Chapter - Seeking Subscriptions)_3

However, Gongyang Gu was already dead.

The King of Li Mountain did not wait to "accept the surrender" but was instead surrounded.

After a fierce fight, all his guards were killed, and he fled in panic with his son through whichever path he could take, now hiding somewhere in an unknown mountain ravine, with soldiers searching the mountains everywhere.

This was truly a dead end.

Song Cheng briefly reviewed the entire cause and effect and was left speechless.

It seemed that aside from his good looks, the King of Li Mountain was not particularly high in intelligence or emotional quotient.

Clearly, he didn’t understand who his enemy was.

The Empress Dowager kept undermining him, and yet he thought about sending someone to explain things.

Furthermore, his attitude was too passive and his nature too weak.

The Empress Dowager sent him away from Imperial Capital to attack Six Towns, and he obediently left, perhaps with the intention of avoiding the disaster... but how could he possibly avoid it?

Song Cheng pondered for a moment and decided it was best to check on them, given his deep relationship with Sister Su.

So, he sat cross-legged, thought of the tower, transformed into the appearance of a Two-Tailed Demon Fox, and leapt out following the "Visualization Passage"...

...

Autumn leaves rustled as if countless withered butterflies danced with the mountain wind.

The Yan Family father and son prayed devoutly.

Suddenly, the drifting yellow leaves came to a still; the noise quieted momentarily and then rustled again.

It was as if a dent had formed in the sky and earth, the yellow leaves turned into a vortex, swiftly gathering towards a certain spot.

In a few moments, it transformed into a two-zhang tall two-tailed fox.

Song Cheng lowered his head to look at the two men.

But seeing the graceful King of Li Mountain along with the valiant and formidable General Yan, both unkempt and in disrepair.

At this moment, seeing him, their eyes revealed uncontrollable excitement.

"Uncle Song! Uncle Song!" Yan Baixiang shouted excitedly, the goodwill on his head suddenly jumped from 90 to 93.

While the previously 50 goodwill King of Li Mountain, unexpectedly upon this first meeting, had a goodwill of 80, which then surged to 90 after Song Cheng appeared.

At this moment, the King of Li Mountain looked at the Two-tailed Xuan Fox excitedly.

Earlier this year, he was very disheartened to see a "male Xuan Fox" alongside the "Fairy Sister", but after the battle at Soul Severing Valley, the identity of that two-tailed Xuan Fox was quickly exposed.

It turned out to be the "Real Brother-in-law"—Song Cheng.

Realizing his misunderstanding, the King of Li Mountain’s goodwill went back up from 50 to 80.

Now, in such a life-and-death predicament, his son and he envisioned the Fairy Sister who did not come, but this Song Cheng did.

How could he not be excited, not be grateful?

At this moment, the King of Li Mountain bowed deeply and said, "Blade King Song, your righteousness is profoundly appreciated."

Song Cheng raised his hand, and words formed on the ground: ’I know all about your situation, where do you plan to go?’

The King of Li Mountain said, "I wish to go to Thundercloud State... Thundercloud State is my fief, if I can get there, even if someone wants to harm me, I will have the capability to resist."

Song Cheng nodded, deciding to escort them part of the way.

Consider it love for the house and its crow.

Sister Su had given him so much happiness; at the least, he should protect her descendants. As for the King of Li Mountain, he was merely incidental.

Afterward, the three of them began their "journey to the West".

During this time, they crossed mountains and fords, relying on Song Cheng’s extraordinary strength to frequently turn dangers into safety...

The King of Li Mountain felt endless gratitude towards this "Real Brother-in-law", and Yan Baixiang toward this "Uncle".

One night by the campfire, which blazed brightly, some gnawed animal bones were scattered around.

The King of Li Mountain collapsed into sleep.

Yan Baixiang then picked up some twigs, and under the flickering firelight, sketched on the ground, seemingly contemplating military formations.

Song Cheng, watching from behind, noticed the issue Yan Baixiang was facing almost immediately.

Thinking of the youth as Sister Su’s descendant, he wrote on the mud: There’s a problem with the formation.

Yan Baixiang looked perplexed, but soon began to discuss with Song Cheng.

Initially, Young General Yan thought, "You may be strong, but what do you know of military formations?" But very soon... Young General Yan was confused.

If the understanding of military momentum by generals in this world is "macro-level," grasped through "Inspection, Auscultation, Inquiry, and Palpation," then Song Cheng’s understanding was "micro-level," as he could "see cellular changes"...

This wasn’t just a matter of level but an entirely different perspective in approaching the issue.

A casual hint from Song Cheng often had Young General Yan pondering for a long time, and upon realization, he’d stare at the massive Ghostly Fox overhead with an incredulous expression filled with reverence as if looking at a deity.

Just like that, another half month passed.

During this time, with the ability to read data, Song Cheng carried the father and son duo and dashed when no one was around and slowed down when there were people.

The "Uncle Song," now called by Young General Yan, had become incredibly close.

Not just close, but also admired.

And his goodwill also continuously rose, amazingly reaching 99.

Clearly, Song Cheng had become very special in his heart.

The King of Li Mountain’s goodwill was also increasing, from 90 to 92.

He had never seen such a righteous and powerful Noble Family Child, which made him suddenly wonder, "Did the ’Fairy Sister’ intentionally look after Song Cheng?," "Could the ’Fairy Sister’ be cold on the surface but actually care about him?".

Autumn deepened.

The three men, lacking a map and given the vastness of Feng State’s territory, wandered around and finally arrived at a towering mountain that spanned from north to south, the end of which could not be seen at a glance.
