Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Five days later, in the meeting hall of "Jinshanfang".

Song Qingming, who was sitting alone at the top seat, carefully looked at the battle report in his hand.

There were nearly forty foundation-building cultivators standing below, most of them were from the "Jinshanfang" who had participated in the battle with monsters a few days ago.

When Song Qingming turned to the last page about the battle and the casualties of the "Jinshanfang" monks, his originally happy face suddenly became solemn.

Although "Jinshanfang" won a great victory in this battle and defeated and severely damaged the army of monsters, it also suffered considerable losses.

Four Foundation Establishment cultivators were killed on the spot, and nearly three hundred Qi Refining cultivators were also lost. Many cultivators were injured in the battle and had to return to the rear to recuperate.

Huang Siyuan also injured her lungs in the previous battle with the "Nine-Patterned Dragon" alone, and is now in seclusion to recover.

Although the Song family did not lose any foundation-building cultivators in this battle, they also lost more than 30 people. Among them, Song Xuanqing, a family elder who was at the second level of foundation-building, was seriously injured in this battle and has been arranged to be sent back to the family's Funiu Mountain for treatment.

Looking at the list of cultivators who had died in battle, although it was not the first time he had seen this, Song Qingming still found it difficult to calm down.

Among these people, there were descendants and juniors whom he had met, as well as disciples and vassals who had visited him. They were standing in this hall with smiles on their faces a few days ago, but when he looked back, they were all cold names.

However, after experiencing so many cruel things like this, although Song Qingming was touched in his heart, he was able to quickly adjust his mentality.

After closing the battle record book in his hand, Song Qingming looked up at the people sitting there and smiled again.

"In this battle, you all performed well. Once the merits of the law enforcement team are counted, I will report this matter to the sect and record the merits for all of you.

A reward ceremony will be arranged in ten days for those who have made outstanding contributions on the battlefield, and I will personally distribute the rewards to everyone at that time.

In addition, a portion of compensation spirit stones can be distributed first to the monks of each family who died in battle. Each family should arrange someone to go directly to the treasury to collect it.

You must personally take care of this matter, and do not withhold the compensation and merits of the victims of the vassal families. Otherwise, if it is discovered in the future, it will be handled according to the sect's rules. Don't be careless."

"Thank you for the reward, we will keep it in mind!"

According to detailed statistics after the war, in this battle, the monks of the "Jinshanfang" killed a total of 26 second-level monsters and 1,386 first-level monsters, in addition to the demon king "Nine-Pattern Dragon" killed by Song Qingming and the others.

After being processed and collected, the materials from these monsters have now filled up the treasury of "Jinshanfang".

According to the previous rules, although these spoils will eventually be transported back to the sect, Song Qingming has the right to take out a portion of the monster materials first to be used as compensation for the dead and to reward those who have worked hard on the battlefield.

In this battle at "Jinshanfang", Song Qingming was very satisfied with the performance of the monks under his command.

When he and Huang Siyuan failed to kill the "Nine-Patterned Dragon" and the outcome of the battlefield was decided, facing the ferocious army of monsters, few people dared to retreat on the battlefield, and they all showed their blood to defend their land and homes.

Now that they had finally spent so much effort to defeat the army of monsters, Song Qingming naturally did not want to let those cultivators who were looking forward to rewards wait too long, so he directly announced the holding of a good deeds conference.

Hearing that an awards ceremony would be held soon, everyone present became excited.

Compared to a hundred years ago, when it took more than half a year and dozens of battles to fight the "White Lion Demon King" before repelling the army of monsters, this time the monks of the "Jinshanfang" repelled the army of monsters in less than a month, and starting to celebrate and receive rewards was definitely something they had not expected at the beginning.

Although the army of monsters led by the "Nine-Patterned Dragon" was defeated in one battle, this does not mean that the monster riot that swept across the entire northern Wei State is over.

However, having such a good beginning is definitely a very exciting thing for all the monks guarding the "Jinshanfang".

Just as Song Qingming expected, after killing the leading demon king "Nine-Patterned Dragon", for the following period of time, only a few scattered and insignificant demon beasts came south to harass the north, and there were no more large-scale armies of demon beasts.

Ten days later, a commendation ceremony was held in "Jinshanfang" as scheduled.

This time, not only did Song Qingming personally preside over the conference, but Huang Siyuan, who was in seclusion to recuperate, also came out to the conference site to encourage and reward these monks who had made meritorious services on the battlefield.

In this great battle with the army of monsters, the best performers were naturally the few cultivators with the highest cultivation levels in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Among them, Song Yuanli, Huang Mengde and other five people all had the record of killing a level 2 or above monster alone, and each was rewarded with a level 2 top-grade magic weapon.

Next were a dozen foundation-building cultivators headed by Song Yuanhao who had performed well on the battlefield and cooperated to kill second-level monsters. Each of them was rewarded with a second-level mid-grade magic weapon.

Although their military achievements were not as brilliant as those of the previous ones, their heroic performance on the battlefield was not much worse than theirs.

In addition to these foundation-building monks, there were also dozens of Qi-refining monks who had made outstanding achievements on the battlefield, and they were also rewarded with magic weapons, talismans and other spiritual objects.

These spiritual objects used as rewards were all obtained by Song Qingming at an equal price from the surrounding foundation-building families or the market town using the materials from the captured monsters. Many of them came from the Song family and the "Chiyanfang" controlled by them.

For this purpose, the Song family also exchanged a lot of monster materials from the "Jinshanfang" treasury and transported them back to Funiu Mountain.

After the commendation meeting was over, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan had just returned to the cave residence not long ago when a ray of light suddenly flew from the sky and landed in a small courtyard in the middle of the market town.

After a while, Song Yuanli, holding a sound transmission note that flew from Guyang Mountain, hurried to the outside of Song Qingming's cave and sent a sound transmission note inside.

"Seventh Uncle, there's a letter from the sect!"

Song Qingming, who was drinking tea and chatting with Huang Siyuan, received the sound transmission from Song Yuanli. He hurriedly called him into his cave and took the sound transmission note from his hand.

After the great victory over the monster army in the battle of "Jinshanfang", seeing that the monster army here no longer dared to move south on a large scale, Song Qingming sent a message to inform the sect's General Affairs Hall of the situation here, and asked them about the details of the wars in other places of Weiguo.

Although he had repelled the army of monsters, Song Qingming knew very well that this monster riot was far from over and it would certainly not be so easy to get through.

In case the war situation in other places goes unfavorably, they must be ready to go and provide support at any time.

When Song Qingming heard Song Yuanli say that news had been received from the sect, his expression immediately became serious.

After opening the sound transmission note sent by Song Men and taking a closer look at it, Song Qingming's expression gradually became solemn, and his brows slightly wrinkled, with a look of worry on his face.

"Husband, what's wrong? Is there a problem at Tuoyun Mountain and Tiexian Fort?" Seeing that something was wrong with Song Qingming's face, Huang Siyuan, who was sitting next to him, immediately asked.

After hearing this, Song Qingming put away the sound transmission talisman in his hand, shook his head and replied: "It's not that there are problems in those two places, the trouble is in Guiyunfang.

According to the sect's message, in addition to the Black Dragon Demon King leading the team himself, there were also 18 demon kings who came to Guiyunfang at once. Now the sect is in a state of emergency, and even Junior Sister Xu and Senior Brother Chen have rushed to the front line of Guiyunfang to provide support."

"What? Eighteen demon kings. How could Jinyu Mountain send out so many demon kings at once? Is this new demon king crazy? They are coming out in full force to attack Guiyunfang. Aren't they afraid that their lair will be occupied by other demon clan forces?"

When Huang Siyuan heard from Song Qingming that eighteen demon kings came to "Guiyunfang" at once, an expression of disbelief and shock suddenly appeared on her face.

There are about a dozen demon kings living near "Jinyu Mountain". Together with those demon kings that moved south from the northern border during demon beast riots, there are usually only more than twenty demon kings in the north of Wei State during demon beast riots.

Back when the Golden Feather Demon Emperor was still around, every time there was a monster riot, although many monsters from "Golden Feather Mountain" would go south to attack the human territory, they never came out in full force. At least a group of demon kings would be left behind to guard the sacred mountains under their command.

If we say that there were eighteen demon kings appearing at the same time in "Guiyunfang", then together with the demon kings responsible for restraining the three places of "Jinshanfang", "Tuoyunshan" and "Tiexianbao", the total number is almost more than twenty.

With so many demon kings heading south to besiege "Guiyunfang" at the same time, the demon army under "Jinyushan" can indeed be said to have come out in full force.

The Xiaoyao Sect stationed in "Guiyunfang", plus Chen Xuanxin and Xu Ziyan who went to support, only had seven Jindan cultivators in total.

With the Nascent Soul cultivators of both sides restraining each other and unable to intervene, even if the seven people from the Xiaoyao Sect had the support of the "Guiyunfang" mountain protection formation, they would find it difficult to hold out for long against the full-scale siege of eighteen demon kings.

Therefore, this message came to Song Qingming, in addition to explaining the specific situation of several other places in Weiguo, it also asked for help from him, hoping that Song Qingming would quickly go to "Guiyunfang" to support the sect in protecting this market. "Tuoyun Mountain" was restrained by the Yunhe Demon King in the middle stage of the Golden Core. The two people, Guangling Zhenren and Zhang Rong, could only barely resist the opponent together, and had no way to spare any strength to support "Guiyunfang".

Outside the "Iron Immortal Castle" guarded by Zhao Menglian and Hu Qingyun, three demon kings also came this time. Although these demon kings were unable to attack the "Iron Immortal Castle" for a while, Zhao Menglian and his men were also unable to escape.

Only in the "Jinshanfang" which was somewhat despised by the monsters, Song Qingming unexpectedly killed the "Nine-Pattern Dragon" and quickly repelled the army of monsters. This gave the Xiaoyao Sect a lot of hope, and they quickly sent a message asking him to go to the "Guiyunfang" for support.

After learning that the "Guiyunfang" on the front line was in danger, Song Qingming did not dare to delay too much and returned to Funiu Mountain with Huang Siyuan.

Now the "Nine-Pattern Dragon" has been killed by Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan together, the monsters to the north of "Jinshanfang" are no longer a threat, and there is a third-level mountain protection formation.

As long as Song Yuanli and his men can be more cautious, even if they encounter one or two ordinary demon kings, the thousands of cultivators inside can hold the formation for half a day and wait for support from the sect.

After returning to Funiu Mountain, seeing that Song Qingyu was still in seclusion and had not come out, Song Qingming left her a letter and immediately went to Guyang Mountain with Huang Siyuan. They took the sect's teleportation array and directly arrived at the "Guiyunfang" front line.

After Song Qingming and his wife arrived at the market town, the people of the Xiaoyao Sect who were resisting the attack of the army of monsters in the market town were very excited and relieved to hear the news.

On the second day, the supreme elder Li Mufeng gathered all the Jindan elders in "Guiyunfang" in the meeting hall, preparing to organize a counterattack against the monsters and first repel the continuous attacks of the monster army outside on the market's mountain protection formation.

In addition to the leading Black Dragon Demon King, the army of monsters that came to besiege "Guiyunfang" this time included more than 20,000 monsters. Among them, there were more than 500 second-level monsters in the foundation-building period, and as many as 18 Golden Core Demon Kings who could influence the situation on the battlefield.

In "Guiyunfang", although Xiaoyao Sect has gathered most of the sect's strength here, there are currently less than two hundred foundation-building cultivators in the market. Together with Song Qingming and his wife who came to support, there are only nine Jindan cultivators.

Even if we add in the independent cultivators who have settled in "Guiyunfang" for many years and help guard the market, the overall strength of the Xiaoyao Sect is only about half of the monster army. The gap in strength between the two sides is still very obvious.

More than half a month ago, the Black Dragon Demon King led so many monsters to "Guiyunfang" and almost caught the Xiaoyao Sect off guard.

Fortunately, the sect's supreme elder Li Mufeng had already moved into "Guiyunfang" in advance to take charge. In addition, the square's third-level top-grade mountain protection formation was powerful enough to barely block the first wave of fierce attacks from the monsters.

After discovering that a large army of monsters had come out in full force to besiege "Guiyunfang", Li Mufeng hurriedly transferred all the remaining mobile forces that stayed in the sect to support the front line at any time to the "Guiyunfang" front line, and only then did he manage to stabilize the current situation.

However, although the Xiaoyao Sect has defended "Guiyunfang", the army of monsters is now so powerful that they can only rely on the mountain protection formation for defense and have no ability to repel the siege of the monsters.

For more than half a month, the "Guiyunfang" has been under continuous attack by the army of monsters. Although there have been no problems with the mountain protection formation of "Guiyunfang" so far, it will not be able to hold out for too long if it does not find a way to repel the fierce attack of the army of monsters.

In the thousands of years of history of Xiaoyao Sect, the last time they encountered such a large-scale army of monsters marching south was more than a thousand years ago when the "Golden Feathered Demon Emperor" led the invading army of monsters.

In the battle more than a thousand years ago, the reason why Xiaoyao Sect was able to successfully repel such a powerful attack from the "Golden Feathered Demon Emperor" was not only due to the support of the monks from Pei State in the south, with whom they had a better relationship.

This was mainly because the former Nascent Soul Grand Elder Daoxuan Zhenren had powerful magical powers and defeated the leading "Golden Feathered Demon King" several times in the battle, which forced the monsters to withdraw and sign an alliance with the human race.

Faced with the overwhelming attack of monsters from the north, the Xiaoyao Sect, which is already finding it difficult to bear the pressure, has sent letters to neighboring friendly countries asking for help.

However, now the entire northern border is in turmoil with monsters and beasts, and the surrounding countries also have their own troubles to deal with. It will certainly be difficult for the Xiaoyao Sect to wait for reinforcements from other sects in a short period of time. If they want to defend "Guiyunfang", they currently have to rely on their own strength.

In the past half month, Xiaoyao Sect's Grand Elder Li Mufeng also fought several battles with the "Black Dragon Demon King" who was the leader of the monsters. Both sides were cultivators in the middle Nascent Soul stage, and Li Mufeng was unable to gain any advantage over the "Black Dragon Demon King".

Now that the Nascent Soul cultivators of both sides are evenly matched, if Xiaoyao Sect wants to interrupt the attack of the monster army on the "Guiyunfang" mountain protection formation and temporarily resolve the crisis, it can only rely on Song Qingming and other Jindan elders of the sect.

According to the information currently available to the Xiaoyao Sect, there are a total of eighteen demon kings who are currently attacking the mountain protection formation outside "Guiyunfang". They are leading an army of demon beasts and are taking turns attacking the mountain protection formation of "Guiyunfang" from the north, east and west.

There are six demon kings in each direction, and each of them is commanded by a powerful late Jindan demon king.

Because the power of the monsters far exceeded that of the Xiaoyao Sect, no matter which direction Bai Yuxian and his men attacked from in the previous few times, they were unable to defeat the enemy. They were forced back by the monster kings who came to support them from the other two directions, and had to return empty-handed to the mountain protection formation in the market town.

With the addition of Song Qingming and the other two this time, the Xiaoyao Sect, whose Jindan cultivators have become more powerful, finally has a chance to break the current crisis.

Although the Xiaoyao Sect failed to repel the siege of the monster army in the previous counterattacks, they did obtain a lot of useful intelligence.

There are two great demon kings in the late Jindan stage guarding the north and west sides of "Guiyunfang". The only thing is that the six demon kings in charge of commanding the army of monsters in the east of the market are slightly weaker, with only one great demon king in the late Jindan stage among them.

Therefore, everyone in the Xiaoyao Sect also chose this direction for their counterattack.

As long as they can catch the enemy by surprise and severely injure or kill one or two demon kings on the other side before the other two demon beast armies can react, they will surely be able to crush the enemy's morale and force the demon beast armies to temporarily stop their siege from all sides, thus alleviating the pressure on the market city's mountain protection formation.

After everyone discussed it, Li Mufeng took the initiative to rush out from the north of the market on the second day and fought with the "Black Dragon Demon King" again.

While the attention of many monsters in the north was distracted by the battle between two Nascent Soul cultivators, Bai Yuxian, Song Qingming and others quietly gathered on the east side of "Guiyunfang".

The six demon kings who were commanding the army of monsters to attack the mountain protection formation did not notice the movements of the Xiaoyao Sect monks in the market town, and were still taking turns to cast spells to attack the market town formation.

Taking advantage of the gap when the two weaker demon kings were attacking the formation, the sect leader Bai Yuxian gave an order and the nine Jindan elders of the Xiaoyao Sect quickly rushed out of the mountain protection formation and headed straight for the two demon kings who were casting spells.

Seeing so many Jindan cultivators rushing towards them, the two demon kings, whose strength was only at the early Jindan stage, were immediately startled. They quickly stopped casting spells and turned around to retreat quickly.

"Demon King, where are you going!"

Seeing that the two demon kings wanted to escape, Bai Yuxian, who had been prepared, roared angrily. A white light flashed under his feet, and his body changed several times and he had caught up with one of the slower white bull demon kings not far behind him.

Bai Yuxian's face was calm. He moved the magic power in his hand and released a long silver whip to tie up one of the hind legs of the "White Bull Demon King", forcing it to stop in mid-air.

Seeing this, another "Green Python Demon King" not far away immediately turned around to help, wanting to help his companion "White Bull Demon King" out of the predicament.

However, as Bai Yuxian was a cultivator at the peak of the Jindan stage, he felt no pressure at all facing two Jindan early stage demon kings alone. He suppressed the two demon kings in just a few rounds.

When Song Qingming and others attacked, thousands of cultivators in the market town had already cooperated and rushed out from the mountain protection formation, and began to restrain the low-level monsters below.

Located above the city wall of Fangshi, many second-level "Flying Cloud Crossbows" and a more powerful "Lingguang Giant Cannon" that had been gathered here in advance also began to attack the monsters below.

Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, the army of monsters that had just begun to wantonly besiege the market formation were unable to react for a moment, and in just a few moments they lost nearly two hundred monsters.

"Hmph! Xiaoyao Sect leader, you should stop being so arrogant. I will come and meet you!"

Just when Bai Yuxian had just caught up with the two monsters, the "White Bull Demon King", four beams of light flew over from the horizon not far away. Among them, the one who had already arrived nearby was the "Golden Tiger Demon King" who commanded the army of monsters on the east side of the market town.

The "Golden Tiger Demon King" came to Jinyu Mountain from the northern border not long ago following the "Black Dragon Demon Emperor". This demon has followed the "Black Dragon Demon Emperor" for many years and has gained his trust.

In addition, the cultivation of the "Golden Tiger Demon King" has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, and its fighting strength is not much worse than that of the White Jade Immortal. This is why it can lead an army of monsters alone.

Seeing that the sharp claws of the "Golden Tiger Demon King" were already in front of her, Bai Yuxian did not dare to be careless. She was about to turn around to resist, but a sword light had already blocked her in front of her, blocking the attack of the "Golden Tiger Demon King".

"Senior Sister Bai, please focus on dealing with these two monsters. Leave these monster kings to me and others!"

At the same time, among the people of Xiaoyao Sect, Chen Xuanxin and Song Qingming, who had the fastest escape speed, had also arrived at the battlefield and stopped the "Golden Tiger Demon King" who wanted to come up to help.

Seeing that Song Qingming and the other man had already stopped the most troublesome "Golden Tiger Demon King", Bai Yuxian felt relieved and began to concentrate on dealing with the two demon kings in front of him.

Soon, everyone from Xiaoyao Sect and the other four demon kings arrived at the battlefield one after another, and many Jindan cultivators from both the human and demon races immediately engaged in a very fierce melee.

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with various spiritual lights and flying sparks. Many unlucky monsters that did not have time to escape were killed by the battle between these Jindan monks. (End of this chapter)
