Qinghe Immortal Clan.

After taking on the mission of rescuing "Tuoyun Mountain", Song Qingming immediately took the teleportation array in "Guiyunfang" and rushed back to Guyang Mountain first.

After receiving two large flying boats from the sect's General Affairs Hall, Song Qingming immediately took more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators with him and flew directly to the north on the flying boats.

The mountain protection formation of the "Tuoyun Mountain" market town is only of the lower third grade. Facing the siege of an army of monsters several times larger than its size, it is already in danger. For fear of any unexpected events over there, Song Qingming kept urging the flying boat to speed up all the way.

After spending half a day, everyone finally arrived at a location more than ten miles away from "Tuoyun Mountain".

Afterwards, Song Qingming stopped the flying boat, took out the "Phantom Boat" to hide his body, and quietly flew towards the "Tuoyun Mountain".

Just after passing a few hills, Song Qingming heard the roar of fighting coming from the direction of "Tuoyun Mountain". Feeling a little anxious, Song Qingming hurriedly increased the speed of his flying boat.

After arriving at the battlefield, Song Qingming was immediately impressed by the scene of thousands of monsters frantically attacking the mountain protection formation of the market town.

Seeing that the market formation of "Tuoyun Mountain" was still stable and had not been broken by the army of monsters, Song Qingming felt relieved. After walking around "Tuoyun Mountain", he found a place where the monsters' power was relatively weak and sent a sound transmission note into it.

After waiting for a while, Song Qingming saw a colorful light shining on Tuoyun Mountain, then he turned around and returned to the location of the large flying boat.

"Uncle Qi, how is the situation at Tuoyun Mountain?"

Seeing that Song Qingming finally came back after such a long time, Song Xinyu, who had been waiting on the flying boat for a long time, hurried forward and asked.

Hearing this, Song Qingming smiled and nodded gently, saying, "The situation at Tuoyun Mountain is relatively stable at the moment, and I have just contacted Senior Brother Guangling.

There is currently no Demon King guarding the south side of Tuoyun Mountain, so the guarding force is relatively weak. We will rush in from there later, and then Senior Brother Guangling and the others will come out to support us.

I will help clear the way in this battle, and you will be responsible for guarding the flying boat. There are many monsters this time, and I may not be able to take care of the flying boat later. You must follow me closely and don't get too entangled with the monsters."

"Seventh Uncle, don't worry, leave the flying boat to your nephew!" Hearing Song Qingming's instructions, Song Xinyu quickly nodded in response.

"Yes! Xinyu, I'm still confident in your work, but you have to be careful too. In case of any unexpected situation, you must protect yourself first."

As the first cultivator of the Song family who successfully established his foundation in the sect, Song Xinyu had successfully cultivated to the ninth level of foundation building in the past two years, and was only one step away from the Golden Core realm.

Song Xinyu had good talent, and he had no shortage of resources for cultivation after joining the Xiaoyao Sect. However, while his early cultivation went smoothly, things started to go wrong after he reached the middle stage, and he was stuck at the bottleneck of the late foundation-building stage for thirty years.

Although he managed to break through to the late stage of foundation building after many attempts and taking a lot of spiritual objects, it also delayed his time to reach the gold realm.

Song Xinyu is now over 170 years old. Although he can try to reach the Golden Core realm if he spends a few more years polishing his cultivation, he doesn't have much time left, and at most he will have one or two chances to form a Golden Core.

In the past six months or so, due to the tense fighting situation on the sect's front line, Song Xinyu was also sent to "Guiyunfang" to fight.

The reason why Song Qingming brought Song Xinyu to "Tuoyun Mountain" this time was that he wanted to keep her by his side so that he could take care of her at will.

After all, Song Xinyu was almost at the stage of forming a pill. If something unexpected happened on the battlefield at this time, his path in this life would probably be completely ruined.

After explaining things to everyone, Song Qingming ordered the flying boat to speed up and fly directly to "Tuoyun Mountain". They soon arrived at the south side where the defenses of the monsters were weaker.

Seeing two giant flying boats flying towards this side quickly in the distance, some low-level flying monsters in the monster army immediately surrounded them with some curiosity.

"Activate the flying boat formation, speed up and rush over with me!"

Seeing that there were already many monsters surrounding them from a distance, Song Qingming, who was standing in front of the flying boat, gave an order to the people behind him, then immediately jumped out of the flying boat, raised his hand and released several sharp sword lights, cutting a dozen low-level monsters in the front into several pieces.

Such a powerful Jindan cultivator suddenly appeared in front of the flying boat. The low-level monsters flying over were also frightened and dared not to block him anymore. They immediately made way for Song Qingming and the flying boat behind him.

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately sped up the large flying boat behind him and soon arrived above the army of monsters that were attacking the mountain protection formation of Fangshi. He wanted to directly pass through the blockade of the monster army and enter the "Tuoyun Mountain".

Responsible for attacking the "Tuyun Mountain" market formation here are an army of more than 20 Foundation Establishment stage monsters and nearly a thousand Qi Refining stage low-level monsters.

When these monsters saw the giant flying boat flying overhead, they immediately surrounded it and began casting spells to attack Song Qingming and the flying boat behind him.

If Song Qingming was the only one who wanted to pass through the blockade of thousands of low-level monsters below and enter "Tuoyun Mountain", it would not be a difficult task at all for him who had already reached the sixth level of Jindan.

But this time, Song Qing not only had to go in himself, but also had to safely bring the two large flying boats behind him into "Tuoyun Mountain".

At this moment, facing the simultaneous attack of so many low-level monsters in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages below, in addition to dealing with the monsters in front, he also had to divide some of his energy to help guard the flying boat behind him.

Although the Xiaoyao Sect's large flying boat was equipped with a powerful second-grade superior formation, it was still difficult to withstand the attack from the monsters.

If you want to rescue the many monks trapped in Tuoyun Mountain, using a large flying boat is definitely the safest way. The two flying boats brought by Song Qingming are the key to the success of this rescue of the monks in Tuoyun Mountain.

If the flying boat is damaged during the battle or something goes wrong, then all the efforts of Song Qingming and others to come to the rescue will be wasted.

At this moment, not only Song Qingming, but also Song Xinyu and others standing on the flying boat, had also jumped out of the flying boat on their own initiative, protecting the flying boat and using their magical powers to resist the flying monsters that came to attack.

They were all selected by Song Qingming. They had fought against the army of monsters on the battlefield many times and were foundation-building cultivators with rich experience in fighting. At this time, under the leadership of Song Xinyu, they faced the various monsters that were surging on them, and they all behaved very calmly.

Song Qingming and his men had just charged into the sky above the army of monsters when a gap opened up in the "Tuo Yun Mountain" mountain protection formation ahead. Hundreds of "Tuo Yun Mountain" monks who had been prepared in advance immediately rushed out of the mountain protection formation and charged towards the army of monsters ahead that were besieging the flying boat.

The leader Zhang Rong and a dozen foundation-building cultivators transformed into a dozen sword lights, directly crossed the army of monsters in front and rushed to the vicinity of the flying boat, helping Song Qingming and others to escort the flying boat quickly towards "Tuoyun Mountain".

With the help of Zhang Rong and others, the pressure on Song Qingming and his team was immediately reduced a lot. After killing many monsters, they quickly fought their way through the monster army and came to a place not far from the mountain protection formation.

Just as everyone was fighting hard with the monsters and were about to bring the flying boat to "Tuoyun Mountain", two beams of light suddenly appeared from the west of the market and flew towards them quickly. They were the two Jindan Monster Kings who had besieged the market in two other places not long ago.

One of these two monsters is in the early Jindan stage, while the other one is much stronger, not much different from Song Qingming, and has reached the peak of the middle Jindan stage.

Seeing the two demon kings in the distance, who had already begun to gather their magic power and prepare to attack the large flying boat in front of them before they arrived, Song Qingming did not hesitate at all. He directly turned into a beam of light and took the initiative to meet the two demon kings, blocking them in mid-air.

It was still difficult for Song Qingming to stop two demon kings at the same time as he was alone, so Song Qingming quickly cast a spell and summoned out "Golden Wind". With the help of this third-level Jindan corpse puppet, he was able to stop the two demon kings.

After fighting with the two demon kings for a while, the relatives breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two large flying boats behind them had successfully entered the "Tuoyun Mountain" mountain protection formation. They no longer paid attention to the two demon kings and directly retreated back to "Tuoyun Mountain".

Although he finally ran into two demon kings who came to obstruct him, fortunately Song Qingming managed to escape danger without any danger and lived up to everyone's expectations. He successfully brought the two large flying boats into "Tuoyun Mountain", which can be regarded as the first step in completing the mission.

Not long after Song Qingming entered "Tuoyun Mountain", he soon saw Guangling Zhenren who had just restrained another Cloud Crane Demon King in the east of the market town. He immediately took the initiative to step forward and salute, and greeted this courageous senior Jindan elder of the sect.

"Brother Guangling, I am here on the orders of Uncle Li to help you break out. I wonder how your preparations are going?"

Master Guangling smiled and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Song. It took us half a day to receive the news of the retreat. I'm afraid it will take another day or two to start the evacuation. I'll have to trouble you to wait for two more days.

Junior Brother Song, rest assured, although several demon kings are attacking us, the market formation is still relatively stable. We should be able to hold out for another two days without any major problems."

"No problem! I'll trouble you to arrange this matter. If you need any help, please let me know. Don't be polite to me."

When Song Qingming heard Master Guangling say that they would have to wait for two more days, there was no surprise on his face. He smiled and nodded.

In order to deal with the monster riot, Zhang Rong, Lin Yutang and others have recruited thousands of cultivators on Tuoyun Mountain to help them guard the market. Together with the hundreds of reinforcements from Xiaoyao Sect and the thousands of independent cultivators who originally lived on the mountain, there are still about 3,000 cultivators on Tuoyun Mountain.

Although Song Qingming brought two large flying boats, they can only carry more than 2,000 people at most. How to arrange them still depends on Master Guangling and Zhang Rong. Song Qingming does not want to intervene directly in this matter at the moment.

Outside of "Tuoyun Mountain", there are a total of three demon kings besieging this sacred mountain. Two of them are in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and the other one is weaker but has also reached the peak of the early stage of the Golden Core.

Whether it is Zhang Rong or the old and weak Guangling Zhenren, without the help of the mountain protection formation, they are no match for any demon king. If the two of them fight outside, they can only deal with one of the demon kings at most.

After evacuating "Tuoyun Mountain", Song Qingming will face a tough battle, so he needs to take a rest and recuperate.

Two days passed quickly. Song Qingming, who was meditating in a cave on the top of the mountain, received a message from Song Xinyu early in the morning. He immediately walked out of the cave and came to the location of two large flying boats on the top of Tuoyun Mountain.

After two days of hard work, most of the cultivators in the market and some important spiritual objects that had to be taken away had already boarded the flying boat. Only hundreds of elderly cultivators who could not get on the flying boat and thousands of ordinary mortals were left.

Fortunately, before the monsters besieged the city, Zhang Rong and his men, who had already sensed that the monster riot was somewhat dangerous, had already dismissed most of the mortals on "Tuoyun Mountain" and relocated them to the nearby mountains.

The only mortals who remain on the mountain to help protect this sacred mountain are a small number of warriors with innate cultivation.

Song Qingming glanced at the hundreds of cultivators who were unable to board the flying boat and found that many of them had white hair and beards, and they were basically older cultivators.

What surprised Song Qingming was that there was a person standing in front of these people who he was very familiar with. It was Lin Yutang, the foundation-building cultivator who had been in charge of "Tuoyun Mountain" with Zhang Rong for nearly a hundred years.

Like most of the monks behind him, Lin Yutang also had a head full of white hair and an extremely old face due to his nearly old age. However, at this moment he was still trying hard to force a smile, loudly encouraging the people left behind, and he still looked very energetic.

Seeing that Lin Yutang was still standing among the remaining crowd, Song Qingming had a slightly puzzled look on his face. Before he could ask the person next to him, Zhang Rong, who was standing next to him, walked quickly to Song Qingming with an anxious look on his face and bowed to him.

"Have you arranged everything here?"

Hearing Song Qingming's question, Zhang Rong nodded with some embarrassment and said, "Everything has been arranged. Except for the people who stayed behind to break through, everyone else has gone up.

Fellow Daoist Song, Senior Brother Lin. He insisted on staying and breaking out with other cultivators. I have tried to persuade him several times in the past two days, but he didn't change his mind.

You also know his current physical condition. It is dangerous to use his magic power rashly. It will definitely be dangerous if he stays. I wonder if you can help me persuade him.

After Master left, Tuoyun Mountain suffered many misfortunes. If Senior Brother Lin hadn't helped me and was able to hold the overall situation on his own, I'm afraid Tuoyun Mountain would have fallen into the hands of others by now."

Seeing a hint of sob in Zhang Rong's tone, Song Qingming, who knew the deep feelings between them as brothers over the years, did not say much. He nodded slightly and walked directly to where Lin Yutang was.

"Senior Song!" Seeing Song Qingming walking towards him, Lin Yutang, with a slight surprise on his face, hurriedly turned around and saluted him with the many low-level cultivators behind him.

Song Qingming glanced at everyone with a smile, then immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to stand up.

Then Song Qingming moved his magic power and cast a spell to release a soundproof ban between himself and Lin Yutang, and then he asked this old friend who had dealt with him for many years:
"I just heard that you were going to stay and lead the remaining monks to break out, so I came here to advise you.

Over the years, you have worked hard to rebuild Tuoyun Mountain, and you have done them a great service. The monster rebellion is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, so there is no need to worry too much about it."

Hearing what Song Qingming said, Lin Yutang was already prepared in his heart. He nodded calmly and replied:
"I appreciate Senior Song's kindness. Our master gave Tuoyun Mountain to us brothers and sisters, but we have never been able to fulfill his wish and let the people on the mountain live a peaceful life. We brothers and sisters have let him down.

Now I am already an old man, and leaving with you would only mean prolonging my life for a few more years, which does not mean much to me.

I have just promised in public that I am determined to break out with those who stay behind. Regardless of whether we are lucky enough to escape or not, if I can kill a few more monsters, it will be my last contribution to Tuoyun Mountain.

I, Lin Yutang, have practiced for more than 200 years in this life. Although I have not done anything great, I am definitely not a person who does not keep his word. I can take back what I have said. Senior, please do not advise me anymore."

Seeing that Lin Yutang had made up his mind and there was no wavering in his eyes, Song Qingming was silent for a moment, but still did not try to persuade him again. He just bowed slightly to Lin Yutang in front of everyone.

"Fellow Daoist, take care!"

Song Qingming's salute was an expression of his sincere heartfelt respect for Lin Yutang, an old man who was ready to face death.

After practicing for so many years, Song Qingming has seen too many people who are profit-driven and self-centered in the world of immortal cultivation. It is indeed rare to find a cultivator like Lin Yutang who is fearless in the face of life and death for the sake of the overall situation.

"Senior, take care!" After Song Qingming removed the soundproof barrier around him, Lin Yutang returned the greeting with a smile, then strode towards the group of remaining monks.

The hundreds of monks who stayed behind were all old and had not much time left. Some of them, like Lin Yutang, chose to stay voluntarily to leave more chances of escape to the younger generations, while others were forced to stay after being selected.

However, when they saw that Lin Yutang, a foundation-building cultivator who had the opportunity to leave on a flying boat, was determined to stay and fight with them to break through, most people were still moved.

After Song Qingming turned around and returned to the flying boat alone, Guangling Zhenren, who had already prepared, flew into the air with a serious face and gave instructions to the people below:

“My fellow Taoists, the flying boat will evacuate to the south first. You all should wait until the monster army has gone south, and then find an opportunity to break out. This way, you will have a better chance of success.

For those who are lucky enough to successfully break through, remember not to evacuate to the west of Iron Immortal Fort, but try to go east, there will be fewer monsters there."

After finishing speaking, Master Guangling immediately returned to the flying boat and commanded it to start moving.

Seeing Song Qingming shaking his head at him after returning to the flying boat, Zhang Rong, who had been waiting on the flying boat for a long time, had a trace of loneliness in his eyes, turned around and walked to the bow alone.

After saying goodbye to those who stayed behind, two large flying boats that were already filled with cultivators moved side by side and slowly approached the location of the mountain protection formation.

A few days ago, Song Qingming led the flying boat into "Tuoyun Mountain". The three demon kings that besieged the place guessed that the cultivators on the mountain wanted to evacuate.

In the past few days, the army of monsters has weakened its siege on the "Tuoyun Mountain" mountain protection formation, and has continuously sent out second-level monsters to patrol the air to prevent Song Qingming and others from escaping.

The two large flying boats that Song Qingming and his companions were riding on had just rushed out of the "Tuoyun Mountain" mountain protection formation from the south. Several second-level monsters patrolling in the air immediately discovered them and made bursts of calls to notify several nearby monster kings.

Soon, the three demon kings who had been waiting for a long time brought thousands of demon beasts and surrounded the two flying boats where Song Qingming and others were.

"Everyone, whether we can evacuate safely depends on this battle. Follow me to fight the enemy! Don't let these high-level monsters get close to the flying boat."

Seeing the surging army of monsters, after Master Guangling gave an order, dozens of foundation-building cultivators standing on the flying boat, led by three Jindan cultivators, immediately jumped into the air to guard the flying boat on all sides.

If they want to evacuate "Tuoyun Mountain" safely, they must break through the blockade of the army of monsters in front of them, and what awaits them next will be a tough battle.

If anything goes wrong and they fail to defend the flying boat behind them, the more than 2,000 Qi Refining cultivators on the boat will face an army of monsters that is several times larger than their own. I'm afraid not many of them will be able to escape safely, and this rescue mission will be a complete failure.

Song Qingming took the lead and stepped forward to block the "Flame Lion Demon King" with the highest cultivation level and another "Golden Horned Demon King" in the early Jindan stage. Zhenren Guangling and Zhang Rong teamed up to fight their old rival, the "Cloud Crane Demon King".

The remaining dozens of foundation-building monks also fought with the pursuing second-level monsters, trying their best to contain these high-level monsters and prevent them from attacking the two flying boats behind them that were full of monks.

At the same time, the second-level "Feiyun Crossbow" installed on the two flying boats had begun to fire arrows, attacking the low-level bird monsters that were swarming in from outside.

There are many Qi-refining monks hiding on the flying boat. Some of them are in the late Qi-refining stage and have high cultivation and can cast high-level spells. They can also cast spells in the flying boat formation to attack the monsters outside.

The remaining monks with lower cultivation bases could only throw a few talismans at such a high altitude, and could not reach the enemies outside. They could only cast spells with all their strength to help support the formation protecting the flying boat. (End of this chapter)
