Qinghe Immortal Clan.
Chapter 678: Sudden change, crisis situation
Before the "Blue-Winged Demon King" could find the source of the murderous aura, a slightly serious voice from not far away reached his ears.
The "Blue-Winged Demon King" looked up and saw an extremely sharp green sword light appearing dozens of feet away from his side, accompanied by a tremendous momentum and coming straight towards him, as if it was going to tear it into pieces with one sword.
The owner of this sword light was Song Qingyu, who came to support "Jinshanfang" a few days ago.
In order to let the "Blue-Winged Demon King" relax his vigilance, Song Qingyu has not shown up on the battlefield since the beginning of the battle, and has been patiently hiding on one side of the market town looking for a suitable opportunity to fight.
After the "Blue-Winged Demon King" fought with Huang Siyuan for half an hour, the "Blue-Winged Demon King", who had already consumed a lot of his magic power, relaxed his guard.
Taking advantage of the opponent's lowered vigilance, Song Qingyu, who had been preparing for a long time, launched his strongest sword of the day at the "Blue Winged Demon King".
This was also the plan that Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu had made at the beginning. In order to retain the "Blue-Winged Demon King" to help Song Qingyu achieve success, Huang Siyuan also used a very precious third-grade low-grade talisman that he had on him.
The sword that Song Qingyu wielded was the "Meteor Flying Sword", her most powerful killing move after she cultivated her sword skills.
The power of this sword is extremely great. Except for those late Jindan cultivators with strong magical powers, ordinary Jindan cultivators can hardly resist it. Back then in "Tuoyun Mountain", Song Qingyu relied on this magical power to severely damage the "Green Crocodile Demon King" and finally killed it at the foot of Tuoyun Mountain.
However, although this attack is extremely powerful, there are conditions for unleashing this magical power. Not only does it require a period of time to accumulate mana in advance, but it will also consume most of one's own mana after using it. Without the certainty of victory, Song Qingyu dare not use it casually.
At this moment, the "Blue Winged Demon King" also felt tremendous pressure when facing Song Qingyu's sword, but its reaction speed was faster than the "Green Crocodile Demon King" back then. It had already discovered early on that Song Qingyu's sword was very powerful.
Therefore, the "Blue-Winged Demon King" did not choose to take the attack head-on, but hurriedly flapped his huge wings.
After several lightning bolts passed through its body, the "Blue-Winged Demon King" immediately turned into a blue light and disappeared from the spot with a sound of thunder and flew away.
Because the way ahead was blocked by talismans and there was also the "Purple Gold Seal" controlled by Huang Siyuan on the side, the "Blue-Winged Demon King" could only choose to go around from the side, which also bought Song Qingyu a lot of time.
Although the speed of the "Blue-Winged Demon King's" Thunder Escape Secret Art is not inferior to that of a demon king at the peak of the middle Jindan stage, the speed of the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword" chasing after him is also not slow.
The "Blue-Winged Demon King" was blocked by Huang Siyuan with all his strength, but he was ultimately unable to dodge Song Qingyu's sword. The sword pierced his abdomen, and he let out a scream.
At this moment, the "Blue-winged Demon King" was severely injured by Song Qingyu's attack, and he didn't care about the low-level monsters below. He immediately held his huge wound and turned into a blue light and fled desperately to the north.
Seeing this, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan looked at each other, and without paying any attention to the army of monks below, they immediately chased after them.
The "Blue-Winged Demon King" had been seriously injured at this moment, and even its own speed of escape had slowed down a lot compared to before. Song Qingyu and the others naturally did not want to miss the opportunity to kill it.
Killing a Jindan Demon King would not only earn them a lot of merit from the sect's Good Deeds Pavilion, but also yield a lot of valuable high-level demon beast materials, which they naturally could not easily miss.
Although the "Blue-Winged Demon King" was seriously injured, his speed was not much slower than Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan as he fled desperately. The three of them quickly chased to the north for hundreds of miles.
After holding on for a while, the "Blue-Winged Demon King" finally found it difficult to maintain his speed due to his increasingly serious injuries, and was gradually caught up by Song Qingyu and the others.
"You evil beast, you deserve to die today!"
After catching up with the "Blue-Winged Demon King", Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan did not give the other party a chance to escape and immediately launched an attack on him.
The "Blue-winged Demon King" was already seriously injured at this time and could not use any magical powers. Facing the siege of the two women, he was in despair and could only desperately activate his own inner elixir to resist.
However, this dying struggle was ultimately in vain. Less than half a quarter of an hour later, the "Blue-Winged Demon King" screamed and died in the hands of Song Qingyu and the others.
"Haha! We finally killed the monster. All our efforts were not in vain. Sister-in-law, I said I could severely injure the monster with one sword. I wasn't bragging to you, was I?"
After controlling his natal flying sword to take out the demon pill from the body of the "Blue-Winged Demon King", Song Qingyu hurriedly smiled and said something to Huang Siyuan beside him.
"Well! Qingyu, you have made a great contribution this time. I will definitely cook a meal for you personally to reward you later." Seeing that Song Qingyu looked like she wanted to take credit from her, Huang Siyuan quickly responded to her with a smile.
Just as the two were talking, two beams of light suddenly appeared to the north of them and rushed towards them at a rapid speed.
Seeing these two rays of light that seemed to be attracted by the fighting just now, Huang Siyuan and the others were also slightly startled and quickly showed some vigilance.
When the two beams of light came a little closer, the two could see clearly that they were a colorful golden toad and a three-eyed white wolf. The speed of these two monsters was not slower than that of Song Qingyu and the others. They were obviously demon kings whose cultivation had reached the Jindan stage or above.
"Why are there two more strange demon kings? Oh no, something is not right. Qingyu, let's retreat first!"
After seeing clearly that the two coming were powerful demon kings, Huang Siyuan's face changed and she immediately shouted something to Song Qingyu beside her.
Seeing this, Song Qingyu glanced at the corpse of the "Blue-Winged Demon King" in front of him, from which he had not yet collected the monster materials, and nodded without much hesitation. The two of them immediately turned around and left the place quickly.
Previously, in order to kill the "Blue-winged Demon King", Song Qingyu used her most powerful magical power, the "Meteor Flying Sword", and most of her magic power had already been consumed. Now facing two powerful Jindan Demon Kings, she had no confidence to fight against them.
Although they were reluctant to discard the high-level monster materials on the "Blue-Winged Demon King", their own safety was threatened now, and they could not think too much about these external things.
Seeing that Song Qingyu and the other person were trying to escape, the two demon kings who came to chase them also followed behind Song Qingyu and the other person relentlessly, and kept trying to attack them with magic in an attempt to keep them.
Fortunately, the two were not too far from "Jinshanfang" and after a chase and fight, they managed to escape back to the market place.
After Song Qingyu and the others chased out, the army of monsters that attacked "Jinshanfang" had already begun to retreat to the north because the "Blue-winged Monster King" had already issued a retreat order.
On the side of the monks from "Jinshanfang", except for a few monks who were still chasing monsters outside, the rest had already started cleaning up the battlefield.
Seeing their two ancestors coming back, the people below were about to cheer, but suddenly they saw the two demon kings chasing them not far behind them. They were suddenly confused about the situation and didn't know what was going on.
"Notify everyone to retreat to the market immediately!"
After Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu arrived above the battlefield, they immediately sent a message to the monks of the law enforcement team below, asking them to quickly retreat back to the market formation and notify the monks who were chasing the army of monsters to withdraw.
Afterwards, in order to prevent the demon king from slaughtering the monks below and causing too much loss to the "Jinshanfang" monk army, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu turned around and began to restrain the two pursuing demon kings.
The "Golden Toad Demon King" and the "White Wolf Demon King" who came in pursuit were both demon kings whose cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Golden Core. Their strength was obviously higher than that of Song Qingyu and the other two who were in a somewhat poor condition.
Fortunately, at this moment, Song Qingyu and the other person had already retreated to the vicinity of the mountain protection formation in the market town. Even if they were defeated by their opponents, they could retreat into the formation at any time, so they did not have too many worries in their hearts.
After fighting with the two demon kings for a while, seeing that the cultivators below had already fled back to the mountain protection formation, Song Qingyu and the other two immediately retreated and blocked the two demon kings outside the mountain protection formation.
The "Golden Toad Demon King" and the "White Wolf Demon King" who had just been chasing, tried to attack the "Jinshanfang" mountain protection formation. Seeing that they could not break through the formation for a while relying on just the two of them, although they were unwilling to give up, they quickly turned around and left "Jinshanfang".
Seeing that the two demon kings outside finally retreated, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, who were hiding in the mountain protection formation, finally felt relieved and a bitter smile appeared on their faces.
In the previous battle, after the two of them defeated the "Blue Winged Demon King" together, the victorious side chased and fought, and finally killed the biggest enemy in front of them. They thought they had completely solved the trouble in front of them.
Unexpectedly, the sudden appearance of two strange demon kings in just a moment changed the situation at the scene, and the two of them changed from pursuers to the pursued.
Thinking about what had just happened, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan looked at each other and both sighed helplessly.
"Sister-in-law, how come there are suddenly two more Jindan middle-stage demon kings here? Why didn't Guiyunfang send you a message in advance to let you know?"
Hearing the doubt in Song Qingyu's tone, Huang Siyuan, who had just recovered, immediately shook her head and replied: "Qingyu, there is something wrong with the origins of these two demon kings. I don't think they came from Guiyunfang. I also stayed there for a while before. I have basically seen the dozen demon kings brought by the Molong demon king, but I didn't find these two demon kings."
"What, they didn't come from Guiyunfang, then where did they come from? How come they appeared near Jinshanfang so coincidentally? Did they just come from the Northern Frontier?" Upon hearing this, the confusion on Song Qingyu's face deepened a little.
Huang Siyuan thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "At present, we can only be sure that they are most likely foreign demon kings. As for whether they came from the northern border, it is still hard to say.
However, I always feel that something is not right about this matter, so I still need to inform Guiyunfang as soon as possible to prevent any accidents."
After Huang Siyuan finished speaking, she immediately took out a red sound transmission talisman from her body. After saying a few words, she cast a spell and sent it into the air. Soon, the talisman turned into a red light and flew straight south to Guyang Mountain.
The two stayed on the city wall for a while, and saw that the monks who had gone to chase the army of monsters had begun to return to the market one after another, so they returned to their own cave.
In this battle, although the "Jinshanfang" side killed the "Blue-winged Demon King" and many low-level monsters, due to the sudden appearance of two demon kings, the human cultivators were unable to expand the results of the victory.
After the "Golden Toad Demon King" and the "White Wolf Demon King" failed to stop Song Qingyu and the others, the two demon kings, who were holding back their anger, took it out on the human cultivators who were passing by on their way back. Many cultivators who were less lucky died at their hands.
After informing the sect of the news, in order to prevent the army of monsters from returning, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu immediately organized the cultivators in "Jinshanfang" to step up preparations to deal with possible troubles.
As Song Qingyu and the others had expected, after the two demon kings retreated, within a few days they led a larger army of demon beasts, consisting of thousands of demon beasts, to the outside of the "Jinshanfang" mountain protection formation and surrounded the entire market town.
This time the army of monsters that came to attack "Jinshanfang" was not only larger in number and stronger in strength, but also very ferocious in attack. They were no longer like the monsters under the command of the "Blue-Winged Demon King" before, which only came to harass and contain, and would retreat immediately after fighting for a while.
Under the command of the "Golden Toad Demon King" and the "White Wolf Demon King", thousands of demon beast armies took turns attacking the "Golden Mountain Square" mountain protection formation. In just over ten days, the human cultivators lost a lot of cultivators.
Fortunately, Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu had already seized the opportunity to kill the "Blue-Winged Demon King" and defeated the army of monsters under its command, preventing the two armies of monsters from joining together.
Otherwise, if they had to face three demon kings and thousands of demon beasts at the same time, Huang Siyuan, Song Qingyu and the many cultivators of "Jinshanfang" would be under even greater pressure.
Just when "Jinshanfang" was suddenly besieged by the armies of two unfamiliar demon kings, Li Mufeng and others in the meeting hall of "Guiyunfang" were also shocked when they heard the battle reports from various places in Guyang Mountain.
Not only did the "Jinshanfang" suffer sudden changes, but for unknown reasons, several armies of demon kings suddenly appeared and besieged the "Tuoyun Mountain" and "Tiexianbao".
Now that the strength of the monster armies in these two places has suddenly increased, the pressure they face is even greater than that of "Jinshanfang". They are already in danger and cannot hold on for too long.
But at this moment, on the side of "Guiyunfang", the "Molong Demon King" has also been attacking the market formation for several days, making it impossible for the Xiaoyao Sect to spare enough strength to rescue "Tuoyun Mountain" and "Iron Immortal Fort".
Li Mufeng, who was standing at the top at the moment, also showed a bit of embarrassment on his face when facing the difficult problem before him.
Bai Yuxian, who was standing below, hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke first.
“Uncle Li, although there are four demon kings in Iron Immortal Castle, there is a third-level mid-grade mountain protection formation, so Senior Sister Li and the others can still hold on for a while.
But the guards at Tuoyun Mountain are relatively weak, and are now under siege by three demon kings. The demon beast army is more than twice the size of the defenders. Senior Brother Guangling and his men will definitely not be able to hold on. I think we can only make plans early and give up that place first."
After Bai Yuxian took over as the sect leader, she has always been more steady in her words when discussing important matters in the sect. Even she, the sect leader, has said that she wants to give up, which shows that the Xiaoyao Sect really has no better solution now.
"Uncle Li, what Senior Sister Bai said is correct. The monster army has suddenly increased in strength, and all the forces of the sect have been deployed to the front line. We no longer have any other forces to reinforce Tuoyun Mountain.
We should send a large flying boat to pick up Senior Brother Guangling and the others. As for the low-level cultivators and mortals on the mountain, we can only give up now."
As soon as Bai Yuxian finished speaking, the law enforcement elder Li Wutong, who also had an anxious look on his face, immediately expressed his thoughts.
After hearing what the two said, Li Mufeng, who knew that the situation on the front line had become extremely urgent, had a gleam of determination in his eyes, and then he slowly nodded to everyone present.
"The most urgent thing is that we still have to send people to Tuoyun Mountain to rescue Guangling and the others. However, it is not easy to break through the blockade of the monster army and bring them out. I wonder who among you can take on this important task!"
"Uncle Li, this matter is quite dangerous. I think I should go to Tuoyun Mountain. Don't worry, I will definitely bring Brother Guangling and the others out!" Seeing that Li Mufeng had made up his mind, Chen Xuanxin on the side took the lead and stepped forward, wanting to take on this important task.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Mufeng immediately shook his head and said:
“Right now, Guiyunfang is also under great pressure. If you, the late Jindan cultivators, show up outside, and the Black Dragon Demon King intensifies his attack, then the market’s mountain protection formation may be at risk of being breached by the monsters.
Once Guiyunfang is lost, I'm afraid we will have to hand over the entire northern part of Weiguo to the monsters. We can't take this risk now. You, Wutong, and Yuxian can't go."
"Uncle Li, I have been stationed in Tuoyun Mountain for a period of time, so I am quite familiar with the terrain there. Why don't I go there?"
Song Qingming, who had been standing below without saying anything, saw that Li Mufeng rejected Chen Xuanxin's idea of fighting, and immediately took the initiative to volunteer to go to "Tuoyun Mountain" for the rescue.
The mission of leading a large flying boat to break through the blockade of the army of monsters led by the three demon kings and rescue some cultivators from Tuoyun Mountain is too risky. Except for the three late Jindan cultivators present, the rest of the people are not very confident.
Among the many Jindan cultivators standing in the conference hall, excluding the three Bai Yuxians who were rejected by Li Mufeng, the one with the highest cultivation level is currently Song Qingming. Even if he does not take the initiative to stand up, this matter will most likely fall on his head.
Seeing Song Qingming volunteering, Li Mufeng, who was standing at the head, immediately showed a look of relief on his face, nodded slightly and said:
"Qingming, the sect is in a dangerous situation right now. You are the only one who can take on this responsibility. I will entrust this matter to you. I hope you can live up to everyone's expectations and help the sect solve its problems!"
Upon hearing this, Song Qingming immediately responded with a cupped hand: "Uncle Li, rest assured, I will do my best to bring Brother Guangling and the others back!"
After saying this, Song Qingming turned around and left the conference room without any delay.
After Song Qingming left, Li Mufeng turned around and said to Bai Yuxian, "Send another letter to Tiexianbao, asking Meng Lian and the others to find a chance to evacuate Tiexianbao as soon as possible and retreat to Zixingfang first."
"Evacuate Tiexian Fort, Uncle Li, isn't it a bit too early to ask Senior Sister Zhao and the others to evacuate now?" Upon hearing Li Mufeng say that they wanted to evacuate "Tiexian Fort", Bai Yuxian and the others below showed a hint of doubt on their faces.
"Tuoyun Mountain" and "Tiexian Fort" are two important defense lines in the northwest of Wei State. Once these two places fall at the same time, it means that the door to the northwest of Wei State is wide open.
By then, the army of monsters will surely march straight in from here and penetrate deep into the northern hinterland of Wei State. This will definitely be an unbearable and heavy loss for the Xiaoyao Sect, which rules Wei State.
Seeing the puzzled look on everyone's faces, Li Mufeng sighed and said, "Now that the monster army has suddenly received so many reinforcements, as long as Tuoyun Mountain is lost, the monster army over there will continue to move south, and Tiexian Fort will soon be surrounded by more monster armies.
Now there is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us, and Meng Lian and his men cannot hold on for too long. Once the monsters from Tuoyun Mountain move south, it will be too late for them to evacuate, and they will inevitably pay a greater price.
It would be better to break out and evacuate now, so that more manpower can be preserved.
The arrival of the monster reinforcements this time is a bit strange. I guess they might have come secretly from Zheng State. I have personally written a letter to Tianji Sect to inquire about this matter, and there should be a result soon.
Regardless of whether they come from Zheng State or not, it will take at least a month for us to wait for reinforcements to arrive. During this period, the sect must hold on to "Guiyunfang".
As long as this market is still there, the main force of the monster army will not dare to go south easily. No matter how much loss we suffer, we must hold on. Otherwise, once the monsters occupy Guiyun Market, it will not be so easy for the sect to take it back. "
Speaking of this, Li Mufeng's face showed a bit of sadness.
Since he took charge of the sect, there have been monster riots every hundred years. Although the monsters from the northern border would cause certain losses to the Xiaoyao Sect every time, the situation was basically still within the control of the sect and did not affect the foundation of the Xiaoyao Sect.
However, this time, the situation seems to be a little different. The entire Xiaoyao Sect has reached a critical moment concerning life and death. If they take a wrong step, the entire sect’s territory will be in danger of being devoured by monsters.
After hearing the explanation of Grand Elder Li Mufeng, the many Jindan cultivators below fell into silence. They were all Jindan cultivators who had practiced for many years, and they were naturally very clear about the current difficult situation of the sect. (End of this chapter)
