Chapter 665: Zhao Menglian's Reminder, Jinyu Mountain Incident
This time, "Tuoyun Mountain" was besieged by an army of monsters led by two monster kings. Xiaoyao Sect attached great importance to the letter for help sent by Lin Yutang and others.
Bai Yuxian, who had taken over as the sect leader, discussed with several elders in the sect and quickly agreed to send reinforcements to rescue "Tuoyun Mountain".
After all, the Xiaoyao Sect holds a large share in the "Tuoyun Mountain" market, and can obtain a fixed income of thousands of spirit stones from it every year, which is also an important source of income for the sect.
If Lin Yutang and his men really fail to defend the "Tuyun Mountain" market and lose it, it will be a considerable loss for the sect.
Therefore, after the Xiaoyao Sect received the news, it immediately sent Zhao Menglian, a veteran Jindan cultivator of the sixth level, to lead people to provide support.
Unexpectedly, when Zhao Menglian arrived at "Guiyunfang" and organized people to come, "Tuoyunshan" had already repelled the siege of the monster army with the support of Song Qingyu.
Zhao Menglian, who had not yet figured out the situation, immediately took a few foundation-building monks around her, left the army of monks on the flying boat, turned into a beam of light, and arrived at "Tuoyun Mountain" first.
Seeing Zhao Menglian and the reinforcements from Xiaoyao Sect coming, Lin Yutang, who had already directed the monks to clean up the battlefield at the foot of the mountain, hurriedly explained to Zhao Menglian about Song Qingyu's reinforcements and the previous battle that had taken place at the foot of the mountain.
Upon learning that Song Qingyu and Zhang Rong had cooperated to kill the "Green Crocodile Demon King", Zhao Menglian was a little surprised and immediately followed Lin Yutang to the "Golden Cloud Pavilion".
"Senior Sister Zhao and Fellow Daoist Zhao are greeting you!" Song Qingyu, who was chatting with Zhang Rong, saw Zhao Menglian coming, and they both hurriedly stood up and greeted her.
“After the sect received the news that Tuoyun Mountain was besieged by monsters, Senior Sister Bai immediately ordered me to lead people to come to support. I didn’t expect that you had already repelled the siege of the monsters just after I arrived here.
I rushed all the way, but still failed to catch up. If I had known that you were so powerful, I wouldn't have come here for nothing!" Seeing that Song Qingyu and the others were there, Zhao Menglian smiled and bowed in return.
"Haha! Senior Sister Zhao, please don't praise us so much. Fellow Daoist Zhang and I were just lucky. We took advantage of the carelessness of the monsters and killed a leading monster king first. Only then did we defeat the monster army. Otherwise, we would have to wait for Senior Sister Zhao to rescue us."
Zhang Rong, who was standing by, heard what Song Qingyu said and nodded, saying, "Fellow Daoist Song is right. We were able to repel the siege of the monster army so quickly this time, and it was indeed a bit of luck that we won.
If it weren't for the extraordinary magical power of Fellow Daoist Song, who killed the Green Crocodile Demon King with one sword, we would probably still be trapped. Fortunately, the two Fellow Daoists came to our aid in time, so that Tuoyun Mountain was able to defend the spiritual vein. On behalf of Tuoyun Mountain, Zhang would like to thank you two again."
"Alas! Fellow Daoist Zhang, please don't be like this. Ever since your master, Old Ancestor Chen, occupied this place, over the past few hundred years, you Tuoyun Mountain and your sect have always helped each other in the face of the threat of the monsters in the north.
Now that you are being besieged by a large army of monsters, we are here to help you. There is no need to be so polite. " Seeing Zhang Rong's grateful expression, Zhao Menglian walked up to sit beside the two of them and waved to him.
Zhang Rong asked someone to come in and give Zhao Menglian a cup of spiritual tea, then he asked Zhao Menglian with a worried look:
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, the monster riot in the northern border is about to happen. The monsters in the Floating Cloud Mountains are already ready to make a move. I have always been a little worried about this matter. I wonder if the sect has any plans for this monster riot?"
In recent years, monsters from the north have frequently begun to attack from the south. Zhang Rong, Lin Yutang and others have a premonition that the monster riot that occurs once every hundred years may come soon.
Although "Tuoyun Mountain" successfully repelled the siege of the monster army with the help of Song Qingyu this time, once the monster riot begins, the monsters from the Floating Cloud Mountains will definitely attack again.
By then, the entire northern part of Wei State will face a powerful threat from monsters, and Xiaoyao Sect and the Song family will also be under tremendous pressure.
For the Xiaoyao Sect, the most important place is definitely to guard "Guiyunfang" first. The Song family also has to deal with the army of monsters heading south to "Jinshanfang" and protect their own territory.
It would be hard to say whether there would be enough forces to take care of them and send people to support Tuoyun Mountain at any time. Therefore, Zhang Rong wanted to ask Zhao Menglian if Xiaoyao Sect had prepared a plan to support them in advance.
When the Ma family of Tiexianbao rebelled, the entire "Tuoyun Mountain" was massacred by the Ma family, causing heavy losses to the independent cultivators on the mountain. Only the two brothers Lin Yutang and Zhang Rong were left in Chen Jinliang's lineage.
Although Zhang Rong, a fake elixir cultivator, is still in charge of Tuoyun Mountain today, the overall strength is still obviously weaker than when Feng Yangde was there a hundred years ago.
The last time monsters rioted, Fengyang De was able to fight with the "Yunhe Monster King" for more than half a year and guard the "Tuyun Mountain" spiritual vein.
In addition to some heritage left behind by Chen Jinliang after his death, the Xiaoyao Sect also sent a number of cultivators to support "Tuoyun Mountain" in advance to help Feng Yangde and others guard the mountain protection formation.
Faced with the powerful "Yunhe Demon King" who has broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, if there is no external assistance, it will definitely be difficult for "Tuyunshan" to defend this spiritual vein for a long time with its current strength alone.
The three Jindan cultivators present naturally knew this very well.
When Zhao Menglian heard Zhang Rong ask whether Xiaoyao Sect had arranged a plan to support Tuoyun Mountain, she was already prepared and smiled to comfort him:
"Right now, the monsters from the northern border have not started to migrate south in large numbers. There is still some time before the monsters cause chaos. Fellow Daoist Zhang, don't worry. The sect will definitely make arrangements for this matter.
I have been in seclusion in recent years, and only came out early today because I suddenly received a message from Senior Sister Bai. There are indeed many things happening in the sect recently that I am not aware of yet, and I really cannot give a direct answer to you, fellow Taoist.
If Fellow Daoist Zhang is anxious, why not send a letter to ask Senior Sister Bai directly another day? I think she should have a rough idea by now."
"Oh! That's not necessary. I definitely believe in Master Bai. I just asked casually. Please don't be offended, fellow Taoist.
Daoist Zhao has been in seclusion for such a long time this time, I think he must be preparing for a breakthrough to the late Jindan stage. I didn't expect that in order to support us at Tuoyun Mountain, I would delay Daoist Zhao's seclusion and cultivation. I am really ashamed. "
Seeing that Zhao Menglian was not very clear about the sect's next arrangements, Zhang Rong immediately smiled and nodded. He did not ask any more questions and took the initiative to change the subject to another direction.
"Haha! Fellow Daoist Zhang, you are joking. It is not that easy for Jindan cultivators like me to break through the bottleneck of cultivation.
Senior Brother Li was stuck in the sixth level of the Golden Core for nearly eighty years before he was able to break through to the late Golden Core stage. My talent is not as good as his, and I have just cultivated to the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core stage. I don’t know when I will be able to break through to the late Golden Core stage.”
"Senior Sister Zhao is also a cultivator with different spiritual roots, and her talent is not much worse than that of Senior Brother Li. This statement is a bit too modest. Although it is not easy for Jindan cultivators like me to practice, as long as the opportunity comes, it will be a natural thing for us to break through our cultivation."
"Fellow Daoist Song is right..."
After the three of them chatted for a while in the "Jinyun Pavilion", Song Qingyu saw that it was getting late, so he took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye to the two of them. He took Song Yuanli and the other two who had already received their rewards, and prepared to leave Tuoyun Mountain together.
However, just when she was not far away from "Tuoyun Mountain", Zhao Menglian, who had also said goodbye and left, suddenly caught up with her and called out to Song Qingyu.
"Junior Sister Song, there is something I forgot to ask you just now. Is it convenient for us to talk alone?"
Song Qingyu nodded slightly when he heard that, and asked Song Yuanli and the other two to wait aside, while he took the initiative to come to the flying boat under Zhao Menglian's feet.
"Senior Sister Zhao, do you want to ask about Seventh Brother's news?" As soon as he stepped onto the flying boat, Song Qingyu took the initiative to speak out the doubts in his heart.
Zhao Menglian was slightly stunned when she heard this, then she waved her hand between the two of them and released another soundproof barrier, then she turned to Song Qingyu and chuckled and replied:
"Junior Sister Song is truly a person with a clear mind and a straightforward personality. I was still thinking about how to talk to you, but I didn't expect you to say it for me yourself.
It has been twenty years since Junior Brother Song left. He should be back soon. I wonder if he has sent any news recently."
"Since Seventh Brother went to Donghuang Country, he only sent back one letter ten years ago, and there has been no news since then. We only know that he is safe and sound when we frequently look through the family tree." Song Qingyu answered seriously.
After hearing Song Qingyu's answer, Zhao Menglian paused and continued to ask, "So, Junior Brother Song doesn't know when he will come back. Do you have any way to contact him?"
"The last time Brother Seven sent a letter back, he just reported that he was safe, but he didn't say where he was exactly. Besides, it's been almost ten years since then, so he's probably no longer there.
Senior Sister Zhao is anxious to find Brother Seven, but is there something wrong, or is it the intention of the head sister? " Song Qingyu shook his head and asked Zhao Menglian again.
Zhao Menglian nodded and said, "It was Senior Sister Bai who asked me to ask. Now that the monster riot is imminent, the pressure on the sect is increasing. It would be great if Junior Brother Song could get back in time!"
"Senior Sister Zhao, recently the monsters in the north have been moving south frequently. Suddenly, a lot of strange monsters have appeared in the Floating Cloud Mountains. Some time ago, traces of a monster king were also found near Jinshanfang. Isn't there still some time before the monster riot? Why are there so many strange monster kings appearing in the border area? Is it possible that this monster riot will start early?" Song Qingyu asked sincerely.
"You guessed right. I just learned the news from Senior Sister Bai not long ago. It seems that something happened in Jinyu Mountain in the north. Many monsters from the northern border have already poured into our area in advance.
I'm afraid this monster riot is very different from the previous ones, and it will be more violent. Now that Junior Brother Song has not returned, you should also make some preparations early to prevent the monster army from moving south in advance. "Zhao Menglian replied to Song Qingyu with a serious expression.
“It turns out that something went wrong at Jinyu Mountain. No wonder there have been so many monsters in the Floating Cloud Mountains in recent years.
Senior Sister Zhao, I wonder what happened at Jinyu Mountain? Why is it so serious that so many strange monsters suddenly broke into our area? "
Like humans, high-level monsters also have their own territories, and they will also fight against each other to compete for Lingshan territory.
Jinyu Mountain is located in the north of Wei State. It is the sacred mountain where the Golden Feather Demon King, a powerful Yuanying demon, resides. The territory of this Yuanying Demon King is thousands of miles around. Few strange high-level demon beasts dare to set foot there at will.
More than a thousand years ago, the Golden Feather Demon King who came from the northern border had just arrived in the Floating Cloud Mountains. He relied on his own powerful strength to defeat a former Demon King of Golden Feather Mountain and snatched the territory from him. Afterwards, he directly renamed this fourth-level spirit vein Golden Feather Mountain.
Not long after, the monsters in the northern border began to riot. The powerful Golden-Feathered Demon King took advantage of the momentum of the monsters in the northern border moving south and personally led his numerous monster armies to attack the Wei State in a mighty manner, hoping to take the opportunity to expand his territory towards the human race.
The one in charge of Xiaoyao Sect at that time was Daoxuan Zhenren, a previous Nascent Soul cultivator. This ancestor was also a cultivator with extraordinary talent. At that time, his cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm, and his fighting ability was also quite powerful among the nearby Nascent Soul cultivators.
Upon learning that the Golden-Feathered Demon King was leading a large demon army to attack southward, Taoist Master Daoxuan immediately organized all the forces of the sect and headed north to resist the attack of the demon beasts. The two sides launched a fierce battle in "Guiyunfang".
At this time, the Golden Feathered Demon King's cultivation was only at the peak of the third level of the Nascent Soul, and he had not yet broken through to the middle level of the Nascent Soul. Even with the assistance of many monsters under his command, he fought several battles with Taoist Master Daoxuan, but he was still defeated.
Later, under the coercion of Taoist Master Daoxuan, the seriously injured Golden Feather Demon King had to agree and signed a humiliating treaty with the Xiaoyao Sect, stipulating that the Nascent Soul cultivators of both sides would not intervene in the monster riots and attack each other's territory within a thousand years.
Over the past thousand years, every time there was a riot of monsters in the northern border, the main monster forces attacking the Wei country's territory were basically the monster armies under the command of the Golden Feather Demon Emperor.
However, after the Golden Feathered Demon King retreated to the north, he indeed always abided by the agreement and never appeared in person to attack the Xiaoyao Sect's territory again. As a result, both sides were able to control the impact of the monster riots to below the Jindan stage.
In the Floating Cloud Mountains north of Wei State, there are a total of more than twenty demon kings above the Jindan stage, most of which are subordinate to the Golden Feather Demon Emperor. These demon kings rarely go south across the border to attack human territory except when there are riots among demon beasts.
A few demon kings like the "Yunhe Demon King" who have no background can not pose much threat to the human cultivators even if they like to go south to harass.
Now that something has gone wrong at Jinyu Mountain, the monsters in the north of Wei State are out of control, and suddenly a lot of strange monster kings have appeared. If this trend continues, it will inevitably put more and more pressure on the Xiaoyao Sect.
After hearing from Zhao Menglian about the incident at Jinyu Mountain, Song Qingyu immediately had a bad feeling and hurriedly asked a question.
Zhao Menglian shook her head and said, "The sect hasn't figured out the whole thing yet, and I don't know the details. Senior Master Li and Senior Sister Bai are working hard to investigate and deal with this matter, and will definitely let you know the results as soon as possible.
Junior Sister Song, the reason why I didn't say it just now and wanted to tell you alone is because this matter is of great importance. If we are not careful, it may affect the future fate of our Xiaoyao Sect and so many cultivators in Weiguo.
You must be careful and don't spread the news outside in advance, otherwise, before the monster rebellion arrives, we will be in chaos first, and then I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."
Hearing Zhao Menglian's kind advice, Song Qingyu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister Zhao, I know the seriousness of the matter. Thank you for informing me of this matter in advance today. If Brother Seven comes back, I will also inform the sect as soon as possible."
Zhao Menglian smiled and nodded when she saw this, saying, "Well! I'm glad you understand. Junior Brother Song hasn't come back yet, so Qingyu, you have to be more careful.
If Tuoyun Mountain is besieged by monsters again next time, it is better to wait for the people from the sect to arrive before we act together, so that you don’t have to come alone to help. If you encounter a plot against the monsters, it will be a waste of time.
Also, due to the recent unstable situation in the north, all the sect's attention has been focused on the Floating Cloud Mountains, and many demon cubs have been discovered to have infiltrated the territory.
Some time ago in the Donglin County in the south, several immortal cultivation families were brutally wiped out by demon cultivators one after another, including a powerful foundation-building family. After Senior Brother Li went to investigate, he suspected that some Jindan demon cultivators had infiltrated our Wei country.
After you go back, you must also pay attention to this matter. Once you discover any abnormal situation related to the evil cultivators, remember to immediately send a letter to inform the sect's law enforcement hall. Do not act rashly to avoid suffering losses.
Junior Sister Song, what I said was actually what Senior Sister Bai told me. Now that the monster riot is imminent, the sect is also feeling a lot of pressure. We, the Jindan cultivators, must also pay attention to our own safety so that we can serve the sect in the future.
That's all I need to remind you of. Please also tell Junior Sister Huang that I won't make another trip." After Zhao Menglian finished speaking, she waved her hand to remove the soundproof barrier around them.
"Qingyu understands. I hope Senior Sister Zhao and Senior Sister Headmaster can rest assured that I will pay attention to these things."
After Song Qingyu nodded in response, he slightly bowed to Zhao Menglian, took out his flying sword, turned into a beam of light and left the spot.
The Fuyun Mountains in the north have been unstable in recent years, and Song Qingyu had a premonition that something was not right. After learning from Zhao Menglian about the incident at Jinyu Mountain, the pressure on Song Qingyu's shoulders increased a lot.
After picking up Song Yuanli and the other man not far ahead, Song Qingyu returned directly to Funiu Mountain without any delay and began to convene many cultivators in the family to discuss matters, in preparation for the upcoming monster riot that might arrive early.
The Song family has developed smoothly in recent years and its strength has increased a lot. In the twenty years that Song Qingming was away, the Song family added two foundation-building cultivators and dozens of Qi-refining cultivators.
Song Yuanli and others who had already established their foundation have made some progress in their cultivation over the past twenty years. The overall strength of the family has at least doubled compared to when Song Qingming had just formed his elixir a hundred years ago.
With the full efforts of the Song family in recent years, Qinghe County has expanded a lot of territory around the "Chiyan Mountain" market and from Yunwu Mountain to the east, attracting many foreign cultivators to settle down in Qinghe County, and even some foundation-building cultivators who brought their families to establish immortal cultivation families.
In addition, with the support of the Song family in recent years, the old immortal cultivation families in Qinghe County, such as the Huang family and the Gao family, have also developed very smoothly. The total number of cultivators in Qinghe County has now exceeded more than 3,000, which is nearly twice as many as a hundred years ago.
If they were to deal with the monster riots under normal circumstances in previous years, "Jinshanfang" would only have one or two monster kings and two to three thousand low-level monsters at most, which would not be such a big threat to the Song family now.
Even if the clan leader Song Qingming was not there, with the two Jindan cultivators Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan stationed in "Jinshanfang" and relying on the town's mountain protection formation to hold the "Jinshanfang" line of defense, there would definitely be no problem.
But now, according to what Zhao Menglian said, something happened in Jinyu Mountain, and a lot of strange monster kings suddenly appeared in the north of Wei State. It is difficult to predict what will happen when monsters riot next.
The reason why Bai Yuxian asked Zhao Menglian to remind Song Qingyu specifically was because she was afraid that the Song family did not understand the situation and underestimated the enemy, which might cause them to suffer losses.
After all, the Song family also needs to protect the territory of the Xiaoyao Sect. Once Song Qingyu and his men fail to hold the "Jinshanfang" defense line and allow the army of monsters to march straight into Jiangling County, the sect will also suffer huge losses.
In order to avoid leaking too much information and affecting the morale of the troops below, Song Qingyu did not tell too many people about this matter. He only explained the crisis situation in the north to a few core elders such as Song Yuanfang, who was in charge of the family.
After receiving instructions from the family ancestor Song Qingyu, Song Yuanli and Song Xuanting immediately recruited dozens of family cultivators to live in "Jinshanfang" and asked them to take turns going to the front line of the market to investigate the movements of the monsters and be ready to respond at any time.
Afterwards, Song Qingze also began to recruit and train reliable independent cultivators in the "Chiyanfang" and collected a large number of important strategic materials such as magical weapons and talismans that would be needed to deal with the upcoming battle with monsters.
Song Yuanfang contacted many immortal cultivation families under the Song family and asked them to secretly transport some of the spiritual rice and other supplies needed for the war to the "Jinshanfang" in advance, so as to be prepared to deal with the chaos caused by monsters at any time.
Just as the Song family was busy preparing to deal with the upcoming monster riot, thousands of miles away in the Jinyu Mountain, a man in white with a somewhat weird appearance looked at the many monster kings kneeling at his feet not far away and showed a satisfied smile.
"Haha! Congratulations to Brother Molong for successfully taking over Jinyu Mountain. I hope you can take good care of me in the future!"
Just as the man in white was deep in thought, a man in black with red eyes came in and congratulated him with a smile on his face. (End of this chapter)
