Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Four days later, in Huixian Pavilion on the top of Funiu Mountain, Song Qingyu stood on the roof, looking at the distant scenery with a slightly sad look on his face.

It has only been half a year since the battle of "Tuoyun Mountain" repelled the invading army of monsters from the Floating Cloud Mountains in the north, but unexpectedly, powerful demon cultivators have appeared in Qinghe County to cause trouble again. Thinking of what has happened recently, Song Qingyu felt helpless.

"The storm is coming. It really is a troubled time!"

Just as Song Qingyu was lost in thought, Song Yuanfang had already quickly come to the attic. When he saw his figure appear, Song Qingyu immediately put away the sad expression on his face and replaced it with a very relaxed look.

"Yuan Fang, how are you doing? Are you ready?"

Song Yuanfang stepped forward and replied in a calm voice: "Reporting to my great-aunt, everything is ready. Except for the Gao family, the foundation-building cultivators from other affiliated families have also gathered in the family meeting hall.

Grandma, do you want to wait a few more days? I think Grandma Siyuan will be back soon, and it will be safer if she goes with us."

"It doesn't matter! The situation is pressing now. Gao Yubai is still in the hands of the evil cultivator and his life or death is unknown. We can't just sit here and wait. Otherwise, how will outsiders look at us in the future?

Yuanfang, I will take them out first, and I will leave everything here to you. " Song Qingyu entrusted Song Yuanfang with a serious look on his face, and then turned around and left the "Huixian Pavilion".

After sending a letter to Xiaoyao Sect to explain the Gao family's affairs, Song Qingyu waited for several days but still saw no one from the sect. He could no longer hold back.

Judging from the information provided by the Gao family, Gao Yubai is still alive. If they continue to ignore his life or death and eventually let him die at the hands of an evil cultivator, it will definitely have some impact on the reputation of the Song family.

After all, eliminating demons and defending the way are the duties of all righteous cultivators. If the Song family allowed their vassal families to be bullied by demon cultivators and did nothing, it would be unacceptable no matter where they are.

After some deliberation, Song Qingyu decided to gather the foundation-building cultivators from the vassal families of Qinghe County alone, and prepare to go to the "Bailin Mountain" where Gao Yubai disappeared to check the situation.

In the meeting hall of the Song family in Funiu Mountain, Song Changze, Song Yuanhao, and Song Yuanxue, three foundation-building elders of the Song family, as well as Huang Mengde, Li Chengyue, Wang Huaqing, Chen Yun'an, Luo Daozhen and other affiliated immortal cultivation families of the Song family, a total of eight foundation-building cultivators have gathered here.

Luo Daozhen is a casual cultivator who migrated from Zheng State a few years ago. He originally occupied a second-level spiritual vein near Guiyunfang and founded a family of immortal cultivators. Now there are dozens of cultivators in his family.

A few years ago, due to the impending monster riot in the northern border, Luo Daozhen did not want to move his family to Guiyunfang for refuge, so he asked around and wanted to move his family to a safer place.

Later, Luo Daozhen got in touch with the Song family through someone and purchased a second-level spiritual vein near "Chiyunfang". He moved his entire family to Qinghe County and became the sixth foundation-building family in Qinghe County.

Luo Daozhen and Chen Yun'an have similar cultivation levels, and are both sixth-level Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, he is younger than Chen Yun'an, so there is still some hope that he can break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage in the future.

Seeing Song Qingyu walking in from the door with a smile on his face, everyone quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings to the ancestor!"

Song Qingyu glanced sharply at everyone present, then said calmly, "Everyone! I think you all know the purpose of this trip."

Killing demons and eliminating evil is the most important task for our generation of righteous monks. I hope you can work together to fight the enemy and don't let me down. Saving people is the most important thing now. I won't say more. Just follow me and set off!"

"We will follow the orders of our ancestor!" Everyone responded in unison, and immediately followed Song Qingyu and walked out of the conference room quickly.

This time, in addition to Song Qingyu, the Jindan ancestor, the eight foundation-building cultivators summoned here all have cultivation levels above the middle stage of foundation-building. They are also the strongest group of foundation-building cultivators that can be gathered in the entire Qinghe County.

After leaving Funiu Mountain, Song Qingyu led everyone to the "Lotus Mountain" of the Gao family in the south. After meeting up with Gao Jang Geum of the Gao family, the group of ten people came to the "Bailin Mountain" not far from the Gao family.

As soon as they arrived near "Bailin Mountain", everyone saw demonic energy rising into the sky from the side of the distant mountain top, as if a magician was casting a spell to refine some powerful magic weapon.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu and others did not delay any longer. They simply sped up their escape speed and turned into streaks of light, flying towards the location of the evil energy on the top of the mountain.

After arriving there, Song Qingyu and his companions soon found Gao Yubai, who was tied to a rack and unconscious, in an open space. Beside him were many other Qi-refining cultivators of the Gao family who were also motionless.

Not far from where the Gao family members were tied up, there were four foundation-building magic cultivators sitting cross-legged, trying their best to cast a spell to refine a blood-red jade plate that was emitting bursts of powerful demonic energy. It seemed that they wanted to use Gao Yubai and the others to refine the magic weapons in their hands.

"Chief, are you okay?"

Upon seeing the unconscious Gao Yubai and the demon cultivator casting a spell not far away, Gao Changjin, who was standing nearby, suddenly became excited and couldn't help but want to rush forward to rescue his many clansmen.

"Don't be anxious. Everyone, listen up. Deal with these demon cultivators first and then go save people."

Before Gao Changjin could take two steps, Song Qingyu immediately stopped him with a light rebuke, and then ordered the many cultivators around him to attack those demon cultivators.

Seeing Song Qingyu, a Jindan cultivator, leading so many foundation-building masters to come here, the foundation-building magic cultivators who were tempering magic weapons immediately panicked.

After putting away the blood-red jade plate that was still in the air, these demon cultivators immediately turned around and fled towards a palace behind them.

"Don't run away, you evil thief!"

Seeing that these demon cultivators were trying to escape in front of them, everyone, who were eager to prove their abilities in front of Song Qingyu, the Jindan ancestor, immediately flew after them.

The other side only had four demon cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the one with the highest cultivation level was only at the eighth level, which was not that powerful.

Including Gao Changjin, there were a total of nine people from Qinghe County. Except for Gao Changjin who had established his foundation relatively late and was only at the third level, all of them were cultivators above the middle stage of foundation building.

The combat power of the cultivators from Qinghe County is more than double that of these demon cultivators, so taking them down is a sure thing.

Including several foundation-building cultivators from the Song family, no one present wanted to miss this great opportunity to make merit by killing the demon cultivator. Only Song Yuanxue, who was more cautious, acted a little slower.

Before those demon cultivators could escape into the hall, Li Chengyue, who was the first to catch up with them, cast a spell and threw out a seal in his hand. The seal grew with the wind and quickly turned into a huge copper seal more than ten feet wide, which smashed directly on the heads of those demon cultivators.

Seeing that the huge bronze seal in Li Chengyue's hand was about to fall, the four demon cultivators who had no time to dodge stopped their steps, turned around and threw the magic weapon they had just tempered in mid-air to the people who were chasing them.

The "blood-colored jade plate" flew into the air and with just a light strike, it bounced back Li Chengyue's huge golden seal magic weapon.

Then, this "blood-colored jade plate", under the control of several demon cultivators, suddenly shot out nine rays of blood-colored light, and all the nine people from Qinghe County who were chasing them were put into a blood-colored cage.

Faced with this sudden change, Li Chengyue and the others did not take it too seriously at first. They hurriedly waved the magic weapons in their hands and launched a fierce attack on the blood-colored light shield, trying to break this blood-colored cage.

However, they never expected that with the full strength of the four demon cultivators sitting cross-legged on the ground activating the "Blood Jade Plate", the blood-colored cage had a very strong recovery ability. It had just opened a gap and it was immediately restored before everyone could rush out.

Li Chengyue, Song Yuanhao and others each used many powerful methods at their disposal, but failed to break the blockade of the bloody cage and were trapped inside.

"What the hell is this thing? Why is it so tough?!"

After discovering that there was something wrong with the bloody cage, the people trapped in the cage suddenly felt something was wrong and couldn't help but become anxious.

Song Qingyu, who was standing not far behind, had already noticed that something seemed to be wrong in front of him.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu, who originally didn't want to intervene in the battle, immediately flew into the air and swung out an extremely powerful sword energy, heading straight for the four demon cultivators who were sitting cross-legged, trying to stop them from continuing to cast spells and rescue the people from Qinghe County who had just been trapped.

However, just as Song Qingyu made his move, an evil wind suddenly blew up from behind the four demon cultivators, followed by a ball of red blood mist appearing in the air in front of them, revealing a figure in black.

The man in black faced the sword energy shot by Song Qingyu which was already very close to him, but there was no panic on his face, and he smiled lightly.

The man in black quickly raised his hand and waved it, and a magic weapon similar to the "blood-colored jade plate" that the others had just taken out appeared out of thin air in front of him.

This "Blood Jade Plate" is obviously much more powerful than the one controlled by the four foundation-building monks just now. It is obviously a third-level magic weapon of high quality.

As soon as the sword energy released by Song Qingyu reached the shield formed by the "Blood Jade Plate", a sharp sound of metal collision was heard.

But in a moment, the sword energy that was confronting the man in black disappeared in mid-air. "Haha! Bullying these juniors is not a glorious thing. If you want to fight, how about I meet you!"

After blocking Song Qingyu's attack, the man in black took back the magic weapon in front of him with a smile, and looked at Song Qingyu not far away with a mocking expression.

"Golden Core Demon Cultivator, I guessed it right after all!"

After seeing the aura emanating from the person in front of him, Song Qingyu's face suddenly showed a look of surprise. He looked solemnly at the man in black who suddenly appeared in front of him, and his hands involuntarily gathered a ball of magic power again.

The powerful attack that the man in black had just unleashed showed that his cultivation was obviously much higher than Song Qingyu's, and he had almost reached the sixth level of the Golden Core.

Although before coming here, Song Qingyu already had a premonition in his heart that the one who attacked Gao Yubai and the others might be a demon cultivator above the Jindan stage, but when he saw the black-clothed man, a demon cultivator master at the sixth Jindan level, Song Qingyu couldn't help but show a bit of surprise on his face.

It would be unlikely for a demon cultivator with such a high level of cultivation to target an ordinary foundation-building family like the Gao family. Moreover, the man in black in front of him was not at all surprised by the appearance of Song Qingyu and others. It was obvious that he had already guessed that they would come to rescue Gao Yubai.

"The other party has been deliberately staying here waiting for our help. Could it be that their real purpose is to target me?" After quickly calculating in his mind, Song Qingyu suddenly felt something was wrong.

Without much hesitation, Song Qingyu swung the sword again and slashed at the man in black. Then he turned around and wanted to leave the open space.

Unexpectedly, just as Song Qingyu was about to move, a man covered in a black robe quickly flew over from not far behind her and threw a fierce punch to block her way.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of purple mist in the air flew above her head, and then suddenly more than a dozen blood-red rays of light flew out of the purple mist and landed on the ground not far away from Song Qingyu.

"Fellow Daoist, now that you are here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

After a woman's laughter was heard from the purple mist, streaks of blood suddenly flew out from all around the open space where Song Qingyu was and gathered in the sky.

After these blood lights flew into the air and gathered into a ball, they immediately turned into a huge blood-colored cage with a radius of several hundred feet, covering all the people present, including those demon cultivators, in the blood-colored shield.

After the blood-colored light shield was formed, the purple mist in front of Song Qingyu changed again and turned into a somewhat charming woman in purple, who looked at her with a smile.

This purple-clothed woman with evil spirits had a cultivation level similar to Song Qingyu, and was also a troublesome third-level Jindan demon cultivator. And the black-robed man who had just forced Song Qingyu to retreat also had a cultivation level of the second level of Jindan, judging from his aura.

However, through the fight with the man in black just now, Song Qingyu clearly felt that there was no life at all in the other party. He should be just a golden elixir corpse puppet cultivated by the devil, and his controller was the black-clothed man in the sixth level of golden elixir not far away.

Seeing that the other side had another Jindan third-level demon cultivator whose cultivation was not inferior to his own, and who also used a Jindan corpse puppet with considerable strength, Song Qingyu, who was already trapped, frowned instantly.

However, Song Qingyu did not seem too panicked at this moment. Instead, his face became calm. He spoke to the two people in front of him in a calm tone:
"You are really brave enough to still stay here. Don't you really take my Xiaoyao Sect seriously?"

Facing Song Qingyu's verbal intimidation, the man in black replied with contempt:

"Fellow Daoist Song, it has come to this. I think you should stop threatening me. To tell you the truth, we have carefully prepared all of this for you.
The Blood Sea Demon Cloud Formation outside is made up of the blood essence of tens of thousands of mortals and cultivators. Even a cultivator in the late Jindan stage would have difficulty escaping. Now that you have fallen into the formation, it is unlikely that you will leave here alive."

"Haha! Senior brother, don't pay attention to her. She is pretending to be so pretentious. She is probably trying to delay time and wait for the people from Xiaoyao Sect to come to the rescue!
But it's a pity that Xiaoyao Sect doesn't know what happened here yet, and there is no chance that reinforcements will come here today. I advise you to give up this idea and accept the reality."

The purple-clothed woman laughed and mocked Song Qingyu, then waved her hand and threw out a red sound transmission talisman. It was the emergency sound transmission talisman she had sent to Guyang Mountain a few days ago to ask for help.

Seeing this talisman appear in the other party's hand, Song Qingyu's face suddenly became a little ugly, as if he had never thought that the sound transmission talisman he sent to the sect had already been intercepted by the other party.

"So you guys have been hiding near Funiushan Mountain. You really have some deliberate plans. No wonder the sect didn't send anyone here for so long. Today I finally know the reason."

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Song is really smart, but it's a pity that he became smart too late!" After hearing Song Qingyu's belated words, the purple-clothed woman felt that she had fooled the other party and couldn't help laughing a few more times.

"Fellow Daoist Song, I advise you not to count on it too much. Before we came to deal with you, we had already found out that the head of your family has gone out to gain experience, and the other Jindan elder is no longer in the family. You are the only Jindan cultivator left in Qinghe County.

Now that no one from Xiaoyao Sect will come to your rescue, you will have no chance of escaping. I think you should be aware of your current situation.

If you voluntarily take this elixir and join my Demon Sect's Cang Yun Sect, we will all be fellow disciples from now on, and we will naturally not make things difficult for you.

I am trying to persuade you with kind words, but if you still don't know what is good for you.

Hehe! I have already refined the souls of hundreds of cultivators into this magic weapon. I just need a powerful Jindan cultivator's soul. If I refine you into it, it should increase its power a lot. I don't need to remind you what to choose, Brother Song! "

The man in black was holding a blood-red elixir in one hand and using the other hand he was casting a spell to release a black flag. As soon as the flag was raised, bursts of soul-stirring ghost howlings came from the scene.

"Brother! I was thinking of killing her and turning her into a corpse puppet. Why are you saying so much to her? Maybe you can't bring yourself to do it because you think this girl is pretty!"

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, the woman in purple next to him suddenly looked unhappy and asked in confusion.

"Hmph! You evil villains, there's no need to pretend here. Just use whatever means you have. Even if I can't leave here today, I will definitely not let you off easily!"

Looking at the two people opposite her singing the same tune, as if their fate had already been decided, a cold light flashed in Song Qingyu's eyes, and with a move of her magic power, her life-saving magic weapon, the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword", immediately appeared beside her.

"Humph! You really don't know what's good for you."

Seeing that Song Qingyu was unmoved by his words of inducement, the man in black turned cold and immediately commanded the black-robed corpse puppet beside him to attack directly towards where Song Qingyu was.

"Senior Brother, let me meet her first!" The purple-clothed woman on the side was unwilling to be left behind, so she turned into a purple cloud and flew towards Song Qingyu. The two sides immediately started fighting.

Song Qingyu practiced the art of sword cultivation, and his fighting ability was much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators of the same level. Although the purple-clothed woman was also a third-level Jindan cultivator, with the help of a black-robed human corpse puppet of the second-level Jindan, she still could not gain any advantage in front of Song Qingyu.

Seeing that the woman in purple was unable to defeat the opponent, the man in black was about to join the battle, but he heard the cries for help from several foundation-building demon cultivators below.

"Master, these people are about to escape!"

The fight had already started on Song Qingyu's side, but the nine foundation-building cultivators from Qinghe County who had been trapped in the blood-red cage below had no idea what was happening outside.

Seeing that Song Qingyu had not come to help, the people from Qinghe County who were trapped inside had no choice but to take out a set of formation flags they had prepared before and began to form a formation and work together to attack the bloody cage that trapped them.

This set of third-level low-grade formation flags was refined by Song Qingming after he broke through to the third-level formation master, and has been stored in the family's treasury.

This time, when they came to deal with the demon cultivators, in order to prevent any problems, Song Yuanfang took out this set of formation flags from the Gold Storage Pavilion and gave them to Song Yuanxue to carry.

This third-level lower-grade formation is called the "Qiankun Fengyun Formation". It is a formation that can combine formations to share the damage from the attacks of high-level enemy cultivators. It can also gather the power of some of the cultivators to counterattack the enemy.

When Song Qingming was still a foundation-building cultivator, he participated in the battle to encircle and suppress the Black Flame Tiger in Tuoyun Mountain. He once used this formation with others to restrain the demon king in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

After the nine people trapped in the blood-red cage activated the "Qiankun Fengyun Formation", the strength they exerted was equivalent to that of half a Jindan cultivator.

Under the joint attack, the four foundation-building demon cultivators who were controlling the cage outside suddenly felt tremendous pressure and could only ask for help from the man in black in mid-air.

Seeing this, the man in black hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and released six foundation-building corpse puppets to help. He then rushed directly towards Song Qingyu, wanting to quickly end the battle and get rid of Song Qingyu, his most powerful Jindan opponent.

The man in black had just joined the battle. Facing the attack from three people, Song Qingyu was under increasing pressure and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

However, although she was no match for the opponent's siege at this moment, she also demonstrated her powerful attack power as a sword cultivator. After fighting for more than a hundred rounds, although she was gradually suppressed by the opponent, she was still able to counterattack from time to time, making them dare not get too close.

Just as everyone was fighting inside the blood-colored light shield, a huge sword light suddenly appeared outside the light shield and slashed on it. This one blow caused the entire blood-colored light shield to shake violently, making a trembling sound.

"What's going on? Who is here?" (End of this chapter)
