Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Among them, Song Qingming, Chen Xuanxin, Li Wutong, Jin Ziyuan and Chu Fengping, five powerful Jindan cultivators, were responsible for blocking the "Golden Tiger Demon King" and the other three Jindan mid-stage demon kings who came to reinforce.

Bai Yuxian, Huang Siyuan, Fang Baixuan and Xu Ziyan focused on besieging the two weakest demon kings among the many demon kings, "White Ox" and "Green Python".

Not long after the battle here started, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" had already sent a message to inform the many demon kings on the west and north sides of the siege formation.

It's just over ten miles away, so it will still take some time for the demon kings in the other two locations to receive the message and rush here.

Now, the people of Xiaoyao Sect only have about half a quarter of an hour left.

If during this period they are unable to kill the "White Bull Demon King" and "Green Python Demon King" who have been surrounded, and the demon kings in other locations rush to the battlefield to support them, the Xiaoyao Sect will have to return empty-handed like the previous times and withdraw to the mountain protection formation.

They were suddenly besieged by four Jindan cultivators from the Xiaoyao Sect, including Bai Yuxian, a top-level Jindan master. The "White Bull Demon King" and the "Green Python Demon King" immediately felt tremendous pressure.

Seeing that the "Golden Tiger Demon King" and his four companions had been blocked by Song Qingming and others and could not come to the rescue, the many low-level monsters below were also firmly entangled by the army of cultivators rushing out of "Guiyunfang".

The two demon kings, who had been beaten back repeatedly and surrounded by Huang Siyuan and others and unable to escape, could only roar for help to the "Golden Tiger Demon King".

Although Song Qingming's cultivation is still at the sixth level of the Golden Core, now that he has practiced the "Green Jade Treasure Refining Technique", he holds several third-level top-grade magic weapons, and his fighting strength is no weaker than that of an ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

After more than a year of seclusion, Chen Xuanxin made a breakthrough and came out to "Guiyunfang" not long ago. His cultivation has successfully broken through to the seventh level of Golden Core.

Although he had just broken through to the late Jindan stage not long ago, Chen Xuanxin, who practiced the sword cultivation method, was now as powerful as an eighth-level Jindan cultivator.

Although the "Golden Tiger Demon King" was a great demon king at the peak of the Golden Core stage and possessed extremely powerful magical powers, he was still unable to break through the blockade of Song Qingming and Chen Xuanxin, two late Golden Core stage demon kings.

Knowing that the "White Bull Demon King" and the "Green Python Demon King" were in a bad situation, it could only keep sending messages during the battle, urging the demon kings in the other two directions to come to support as soon as possible.

The physical body of a demon king who has cultivated to the Jindan level is already extremely strong. Unless he is careless or attacked by surprise, very few Jindan cultivators can quickly break through the opponent's defense and kill a demon king of the same level in a head-on battle.

However, Bai Yuxian's cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage after all, and the gap in strength between him and the "White Bull Demon King" who is only in the early Golden Core stage is still very large.

With the assistance of Huang Siyuan, the "White Bull Demon King" relied on his thick skin and flesh, and desperately used his innate inner elixir and his powerful body to resist the attacks of Bai Yuxian and Huang Siyuan.

However, due to the huge gap in strength, he was killed on the battlefield by Bai Yuxian's sword before the reinforcements from the monster side arrived.

After taking the golden elixir from the body of the "White Bull Demon King", Bai Yuxian and Huang Siyuan did not bother to collect other materials from the body of the "White Bull Demon King", and immediately turned around and joined the battle to besiege the "Green Python Demon King".

The "Green Python Demon King" has cultivated a venomous power and is much stronger than the "White Bull Demon King". In the beginning, he faced the attacks of two Jindan cultivators, Xu Ziyan and Fang Baixuan, alone, and fought back and forth without losing the upper hand.

But after Bai Yuxian and Huang Siyuan joined the battle, the "Green Python Demon King" was suddenly surrounded by four people and could not resist.

Fortunately, Bai Yuxian and the others had just joined the battle to besiege it when long howls were heard from the horizon not far from the battlefield. Three beams of light were rapidly approaching the battlefield. They were the demon kings with faster escape speeds who had already learned the news and rushed over first.

After seeing the "White Bull Demon King" being killed by Bai Yuxian, the "Green Python Demon King" who was besieged by everyone was already a little desperate.

Seeing the reinforcements coming soon, he suddenly felt more confident and breathed a sigh of relief. He spat out his own inner elixir and released venom with all his strength to resist the siege of everyone, hoping to delay time and wait for rescue.

Faced with the large amount of venom spit out by the "Green Python Demon King", Huang Siyuan and others had low cultivation levels and were unable to attack the opponent at close range. Only Bai Yuxian could hold up a shield to resist the venom while using other means to continue attacking the "Green Python Demon King".

However, at this time, Bai Yuxian needed to expend a lot of energy to resist the venom of the "Green Python Demon King", and for a while he was unable to quickly break through the magic shield released by the "Green Python Demon King's" inner elixir.

Just when the "Green Python Demon King" had breathed a sigh of relief, he did not expect that the three demon kings who came to support had just approached the battlefield not far away, and suddenly several powerful golden crossbow arrows flew out from the top of the city wall and headed straight for the demon kings who were rushing on the road at full speed.

These crossbow arrows were fired from four level three "Feiyun Crossbows" that had been configured long ago in "Guiyunfang". Their power was close to 70% to 80% of the strength of a Jindan cultivator, equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Jiadan cultivator.

Although such an attack would not cause too much damage to these demon kings in the middle and late stages of the Golden Core Realm, it would still be somewhat uncomfortable to be hit by it forcefully.

Seeing this, the demon kings had to stop and cast spells to block the rapidly approaching golden arrows.

After they solved the immediate problem and started on their way again, during this delay, all the venom stored in the body of the "Green Python Demon King" had been used up.

At this moment, the "Green Python Demon King" also lost his last means of resisting the attacks of everyone, and soon fell into the siege of the four Xiaoyao Sect Jindan monks again.

Even though the "Green Python Demon King" tried hard to control his inner elixir to resist, it still could not escape the fate of being beheaded by Bai Yuxian's sword, and died at the hands of the Xiaoyao Sect before reinforcements arrived.

After taking the demon king's inner elixir, seeing that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, Bai Yuxian immediately issued a retreat signal on the battlefield, leading everyone to fight and retreat, and withdrew to the mountain protection formation.

Before the battle to attack the monster army, the sect had already warned everyone, no matter if they were the Jindan elders or the low-level cultivators in the foundation-building and Qi-refining stages, that no one should linger in the battle or covet the monster materials on the battlefield.

As long as the order to retreat is received, all participating monks must retreat back to the nearest market formation as quickly as possible.

Although three Jindan Demon Kings with higher cultivation levels came to help, the people of Xiaoyao Sect who had successfully killed the two demon kings, "Green Python" and "White Bull", were not inferior to the other side in terms of the number of Jindan cultivators, and none of them were left behind by the "Golden Tiger Demon King" and his men.

After seeing that Song Qingming and the others had successfully escaped back to the market formation, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" standing outside the mountain protection formation was very angry. He led the army of monsters to attack the market formation, trying to force Song Qingming and the others out.

However, as we are outnumbered by the enemy, the people of Xiaoyao Sect naturally would not go out and fight these demon kings head-on as the "Golden Tiger Demon King" wishes.

He just ordered the low-level monks who were operating the "Flying Cloud Crossbow" and "Lingguang Giant Cannon" on the top of the city wall to attack the monsters that were attacking the market formation at close range when the monsters were approaching, so as to prevent the monster army outside from attacking the city.

After all, the mountain protection formation of "Guiyunfang" has reached the third-grade upper level. Without the help of Nascent Soul cultivators, it would be difficult to break through the formation in a short period of time relying solely on those Golden Core Demon Kings.

After attacking frantically outside the formation for several hours, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" not only failed to break through the defense of the city's mountain protection formation, but also lost nearly two hundred low-level monsters under the attack of the "Flying Cloud Crossbow" and "Lingguang Giant Cannon" controlled by the Xiaoyao Sect monks.

The "Golden Tiger Demon King" who was ultimately unable to force Song Qingming and the others out had no choice but to retreat and stop attacking the market formation. He joined forces with other demon kings and besieged the "Guiyunfang" from a distance.

Seeing that the Demon King's army was slowly retreating, Bai Yuxian and others, who were originally a little worried, immediately relaxed their tense nerves.

Just as everyone was preparing to head to the north of the market town to watch the battle between Grand Elder Li Mufeng and the "Black Dragon Demon King", a green light descended from the sky, passed through the mountain protection formation, and landed in front of everyone.

"Meet Master Li!"

Seeing that Li Mufeng was safe and sound, Song Qingming and others who were worried about his safety immediately showed joy on their faces and bowed respectfully to Li Mufeng.

Li Mufeng, who had just finished a great battle, still had a look of fatigue on his face.

After taking a quick look at everyone present, Li Mufeng saw that Bai Yuxian and the others had not encountered any accidents and had returned here safely. A look of relief also appeared on his face, and he nodded to everyone.

"I fought the Black Dragon Demon King to a draw. How are you all doing? Did you gain anything from this battle?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuxian immediately took out two palm-sized demon king inner cores that were glowing brightly from her body and placed them in front of Li Mufeng.

"We lived up to Master Li's trust. We successfully killed two demon kings in this battle. Now the demon beast army in the east has withdrawn and stopped attacking the market formation."

"Oh! This is a very good thing. You all have done a great job. This way, we have a great chance of holding on to Guiyunfang. As long as we hold out until reinforcements arrive from Pei State, we will have a good chance of forcing back the monster army and ending this turmoil.

This is not the place to talk, let’s go back and talk slowly!”

Seeing the two demon king inner pills that Bai Yuxian had just taken out, Li Mufeng showed a rare look of joy on his face, and hurriedly led everyone back to the meeting hall of the market. In the previous battle, Song Qingming and others took the initiative to attack unexpectedly, not only killing the two demon kings of the opponent, but also many monks below cooperated with the "Flying Cloud Crossbow" and "Lingguang Giant Cannon" on the city wall, killing thousands of low-level demon beasts, which was considered a heavy blow to the demon beast army in the east.

Although the Xiaoyao Sect also paid a lot of spirit stones and lost more than 200 monks in this battle.

However, this battle successfully repelled the monster army's continuous siege of the market town and temporarily resolved the crisis of the "Guiyunfang" mountain protection formation being breached by the enemy. For the Xiaoyao Sect, it was already a great strategic victory.

After this battle, there were still sixteen demon kings left on the monster side. On paper, their strength was still far superior to that of the Xiaoyao Sect. However, it was not as easy as before for them to capture the "Guiyunfang" guarded by nine Jindan monks.

Although Song Qingming and others do not have enough strength to repel the attack of the army of monsters, with the support of the "Guiyunfang" mountain protection formation, they are definitely capable of defending the "Guiyunfang" market.

As long as this most important stronghold in the north of Wei State is firmly guarded, the army of monsters will not dare to easily cross this place and head south to Wei State. Otherwise, once their retreat is cut off, they will repeat the mistakes of a hundred years ago.

This time, the siege of the monster army was temporarily repelled, which was the first major victory achieved by "Guiyunfang" since it was besieged by the monster army.

Since the monster riot, "Guiyunfang" has been in danger many times in more than a month, and the morale of the Xiaoyao Sect monks guarding this place is also somewhat low.

In order to boost the morale of the many monks in "Guiyunfang", Li Mufeng took advantage of this great victory and asked Xu Ziyan, the general affairs elder, to take out some reserve supplies, held a celebration banquet in the market, and rewarded many spiritual objects to those monks who had made contributions in this battle.

Just as the Xiaoyao Sect was celebrating the victory in the market town, on a high mountain north of "Guiyunfang" where tens of thousands of monsters gathered, a dozen Jindan Monster Kings were looking at the "Molong Monster King" who was sitting at the top with bitter faces.

This time, they were suddenly attacked by Song Qingming and others, and lost two demon kings and thousands of low-level monsters at once. The "Black Dragon Demon King" was obviously very dissatisfied with the result of the previous battle and the performance of the demon kings below.

After taking a glance at the many demon kings who were still trembling with fear below, the "Black Dragon Demon King" turned around and asked the "Golden Tiger Demon King" beside him:
"Have you found out where the two Jindan cultivators who came to support Xiaoyao Sect this time came from?"

"Reporting to the ancestor, the one who stopped me yesterday with Chen Xuanxin was Song Qingming from the Song family in Qinghe County. The other woman looked like she had just completed her golden elixir. She should be a Jindan cultivator who succeeded in forming a golden elixir in recent years from the Xiaoyao Sect. She is not an outsider either."

Hearing the question from the "Black Dragon Demon Emperor", the "Golden Tiger Demon King" hurried forward and carefully answered.

Although the "Golden Tiger Demon King" has been following the "Black Dragon Demon King" for nearly a thousand years, he is already considered its absolute confidant.

However, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" has always been a little afraid of his ancestor's strange temper. This time, the army of monsters he led suffered a defeat, and he felt like a thorn in his back, fearing that the "Black Dragon Demon King" in front would blame him.

"Song Qingming! Didn't you say last time that this person had disappeared for a long time? How come he suddenly popped up again? Logically, the people of the Song family should be fully defending Jinshanfang at this moment. How did he come here so quickly? Why didn't we receive any news in advance?

Could it be that something happened to the Nine-Patterned Flood Dragon?" Hearing the name Song Qingming, the "Black Dragon Demon King" calmly held his chin and asked again.

Upon hearing this, the "Golden Tiger Demon King" immediately nodded and replied: "Ancestor, I have confirmed with several Taoist friends who have fought with him, and it is definitely this person.

According to the information I got before, Song Qingming's cultivation was originally similar to Yun He and the others. However, when I fought with him this time, I found that his magical powers were quite strange, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth level of the Golden Core. Fellow Daoist Jiu Wen should not be his opponent.

Song Qingming suddenly appeared here, I'm afraid... I'm afraid the army attacking Jinshanfang may be at a disadvantage." "Golden Tiger Demon King" said, and then carefully glanced at the "Black Dragon Demon King" who was looking at it.

"Humph! I asked it to go to Jinshanfang to hold back the Song family members. Now Song Qingming has come here, but it didn't even notice this. What a waste."

The "Golden Tiger Demon King", who had just raised his eyes, heard the angry rebuke from the "Black Dragon Demon King" and hurriedly lowered his head again and dared not say anything more.

"Ancestor! This time Song Qingming and the other two came to help us, and we lost fellow Taoists Bai Niu and Qing Mang. It may be difficult for us to attack Guiyunfang by force.

I think it would be better to trap them first, and then send our troops south to harass the human territory. Maybe we can force them out to fight with us."

Seeing the "Golden Tiger Demon King" standing in front being scolded, the "White Dragon Demon King" on the side suddenly took the opportunity to speak out what was in his mind.

After hearing the White Dragon Demon King's proposal, the Black Dragon Demon King looked at it calmly, then shook his head and said:

“This time I am leading you southwards to capture the sacred mountain of Guiyunfang in one fell swoop, not just to take advantage of the human race’s territory for a small fight like you did before.

We still have an absolute advantage now, and dividing our forces at this time will undoubtedly give them a chance to catch their breath. If we cannot capture Guiyunfang within half a year, once Xiaoyao Sect and other places send reinforcements, we will probably be caught in a situation of being attacked from both sides.

Don't treat the people of Xiaoyao Sect as fools, thinking that you can force them out by just killing some mortals. If these human cultivators were so easy to fool, you wouldn't have failed to conquer Weiguo for thousands of years.

It has only been a hundred years since you last divided your forces and marched south, where you were ultimately defeated. How come you have forgotten everything so quickly?"

When the "Black Dragon Demon King" mentioned the attack on "Guiyunfang" a hundred years ago, the "White Dragon Demon King" immediately lowered his head.

Back then, it gained the trust of the "Golden Feather Demon King" and confidently led tens of thousands of monsters on the Golden Feather Mountain to attack "Guiyunfang" in the south. However, it took more than half a year and still failed to capture the place.

In the end, the "White Dragon Demon King" had no choice but to split his troops and march south to attack Gaoyun County of Wei State, trying to force the Xiaoyao Sect to take the initiative to walk out of "Guiyunfang" and fight them.

Although the "White Dragon Demon King"'s strategy of luring the enemy into a trap was somewhat vicious, the Xiaoyao Sect did not fall for the monster's trick.

Even though Gaoyun County lost millions of mortals in the subsequent monster invasion, the Xiaoyao Sect monks guarding "Guiyunfang" did not choose to rashly walk out of the market to fight a decisive battle with the monster army.

In the end, its move of dividing its forces and marching southward gave the Xiaoyao Sect the opportunity to finally gather its strength and defeat the defeated enemies one by one.

Although the "Golden Feather Demon Emperor" did not blame him too much after retreating to Jinyu Mountain last time, the "White Dragon Demon King" was still brooding over the failure to break through "Guiyunfang" last time, so he took the initiative to mention to the "Black Dragon Demon Emperor" his unsuccessful strategy of dividing the troops.

In the opinion of the "White Dragon Demon King", the reason why the division of troops failed was because the strength of the monster side was still insufficient at that time.

Now that the "Black Dragon Demon King" is fighting in person, and there are so many demon kings present, as long as they can break through Gaoyun County in one fell swoop and reach Yangshan County, the core area of ​​​​the Xiaoyao Sect, the Xiaoyao Sect will definitely choose to send troops to rescue, so that they want to capture "Guiyunfang" It will be much easier than it is now.

However, the "Black Dragon Demon King", who had a rather strange temper, obviously did not like his more complicated strategy. He still wanted to defeat the Xiaoyao Sect directly from the front in order to achieve his goal of conquering the entire Wei State in the future.

After rejecting the White Dragon Demon King's proposal, the Black Dragon Demon King turned around and instructed the many demon kings present: "Black Ape, send someone to Jinshanfang first to see what's going on with the Nine-Pattern Dragon.

After the others go back, they should control the monsters in their own group so that no trouble occurs. After two days of truce and rest, they can continue to attack Guiyunfang. We cannot give them too much chance to breathe at this time.

Don't worry, everyone. Xiaoyao Sect is not the only one that can ask for reinforcements. This time I have already made an agreement with the Red Cloud Demon King. After he conquers the northern part of Zheng State, Red Cloud Mountain will immediately send people to support us.

As long as we can consume more of Xiaoyao Sect's power, we will be able to capture this market once the reinforcements from Chiyun Mountain arrive, so we don't need to be too anxious."

"I will obey my ancestor's orders!"

Upon hearing the order from "Molong Demon King" to continue attacking "Guiyunfang", the many demon kings present did not dare to say anything more and hurriedly retreated in unison.

After the other demon kings had left, the "Black Dragon Demon King" stood up and spoke to the "Golden Tiger Demon King" who was left behind by him:
"Tomorrow you go to Chiyun Mountain and help me deliver a letter to that old man Chiyun, asking him to move faster and send someone to join us."

"Ancestor, if Chiyun Mountain makes excuses and refuses to send troops to support us immediately like last time, what should we do?" After hearing the words of the "Black Dragon Demon King", the Golden Tiger Demon King responded and asked again.

Upon hearing this, the "Black Dragon Demon King" snorted with a smile and replied:
"Humph! I know that this old guy must want to wait until we and Xiaoyao Sect are both injured before he takes action to gain more benefits. The reason why I rejected Bai Long's proposal is that I don't want to fight Xiaoyao Sect too hard at this moment and cause us to suffer too much loss.

When you go, just keep urging them. If they ask about the battle situation here, you can say that we have fought several battles with Xiaoyao Sect and both sides have suffered heavy losses. Remember not to let that old fox see any clues."

"Haha! The ancestor is really thoughtful. Don't worry, I know what to do about this matter."

After hearing the explanation from the "Black Dragon Demon King", the "Golden Tiger Demon King" immediately smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked away. (End of this chapter)
