Qinghe Immortal Clan.

In the "Jinshanfang" meeting hall in Pingyang County in the northern part of Wei State.

Song Qingyu was sitting alone in the conference hall, holding a letter that he had just received not long ago, his eyes full of worry.

After a while, Huang Siyuan, dressed in white, walked in from the door of the meeting room. Seeing the letter in Song Qingyu's hand, she smiled and asked:
"Qingyu, I just heard from Yuanli that there is another letter coming from the sect. Is there any good news?"

In the past half month, although Huang Siyuan and others led the army of monks to defend "Jinshanfang", they also received news of the fall of "Tuoyun Mountain" and "Tiexian Fort".

Faced with the sudden increase in the number of monster troops and the worsening war situation in the north of Weiguo, they were very much looking forward to the early arrival of reinforcements from the Xiaoyao Sect to change the increasingly unfavorable battlefield situation for the human race.

Seeing Huang Siyuan with a hint of expectation on her face, Song Qingyu, who was holding the letter in his hand, sighed calmly, shook his head slightly and replied: "If there is good news, I will be the first to tell you.

This letter was delivered by my seventh brother himself. The armies of monsters from Tuoyun Mountain and Tiexian Valley have now gone to Guiyunfang. The pressure there is very high. The sect asked me to bring people over to provide support as soon as possible.

"Seventh Brother also said in the letter that it would take about a month for reinforcements from other places to come to our defense, so he asked the family to make some preparations in advance. If we can't defend Jinshanfang, we will all retreat to Funiu Mountain first."

"Did my husband really say that we should prepare to evacuate Jinshanfang?" When Huang Siyuan heard Song Qingyu say this, the smile that had just been on her face quickly disappeared along with the words she said.

Now the entire northwest of Wei State has fallen, but the northeastern area guarded by the Song family is still safe and sound, and this is all thanks to the army of monks from the "Jinshanfang" who desperately resisted the army of monsters here.

Whether it was Song Qingyu or Huang Siyuan, they both knew in their hearts that if they chose to evacuate the market town and allow the army of monsters to continue moving south, it would bring serious consequences to the human territory behind them.

Not to mention Pingyang County, which is the closest to "Jinshanfang", even Qinghe County where the Song family is located will probably not escape the fate of being swept by the army of monsters. By then, no one knows how many lives will die in the mouths of monsters in the entire northeast of Wei State.

Huang Siyuan took the letter from Song Qingyu, read it carefully, and was silent for a moment before raising her head and speaking to Song Qingyu in front of her:
"Even my husband has made such a bad plan. It seems that the situation in Guiyunfang has become very critical. Qingyu, you should hurry to Guiyunfang tomorrow.

With me here, it won't be easy for the monster army outside to break into the market. I estimate that if we hold on for another month and wait for reinforcements, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Don't worry, if I really can't hold on any longer, I won't act rashly and will definitely arrange for everyone to evacuate in advance. The situation in Guiyunfang is even more dangerous now, so you should also pay more attention to your own safety."

Seeing this, Song Qingyu immediately nodded and said, "Yes! Sister-in-law, I feel relieved with your words. The monster army will launch another attack in the next two days. I plan to fight this battle before leaving.

This time we will have a different opponent. Sister-in-law, you help to contain the White Wolf Demon King, and I will go deal with the Golden Toad and see if we can find a chance to kill this demon. If we can, our hope of defending Jinshanfang will increase a bit."

"Okay then! I'll follow your instructions."

Half a month ago, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan teamed up to kill the "Blue Feather Demon King". They thought they could defeat the army of monsters besieging the city in one fell swoop, but they did not expect to run into the "Golden Toad Demon King" and "White Wolf Demon King" who suddenly came to support them.

The fruits of victory that the "Jinshanfang" monks' army had just gained were also beaten back by these two sudden armies of monsters.

In the past half month, facing the fierce attacks of the army of monsters, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan led the army of monks of "Jinshanfang" to firmly defend the market formation, and did not let the monsters advance and gain any advantage.

However, the battlefield situation on the "Jinshanfang" side fell into a stalemate again and returned to the previous tense state of equal strength.

Although the monster side was stronger than the human cultivators due to the large number of low-level monsters, they did not have any particularly good solutions when facing the "Jinshanfang" defenders who were assisted by the third-level mountain protection formation, and they did not dare to send their troops south at will.

"Jinshanfang" also has some advantages because of the army of monsters. Currently, it can only rely on the "Jinshanfang" mountain protection formation to hold its ground, and is unable to repel the army of monsters that are besieging the market.

The strength of Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan and the two leading demon kings on the opposite side are not much different. In the previous fights, although Song Qingyu and his team were able to gain the upper hand occasionally, it was difficult for them to defeat the opponent and break the deadlock in a short period of time.

The two sides have been fighting fiercely on the battlefield recently, but neither the human race nor the monsters are able to break the situation and change the battlefield situation.

At this time, they received a letter for help from "Guiyunfang". Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan were very clear about the dangerous situation of the entire battle.

The monsters are now very powerful. Although Xiaoyao Sect has tried its best to resist, it is still no match for the monster army which is getting stronger and stronger with the arrival of reinforcements.

In just less than half a month, "Tuoyun Mountain" and "Tiexian Fort" fell into the hands of the enemy one after another. If Song Qingyu had not come out to help in time, "Jinshanfang" would probably have been in great danger by the army of monsters.

Just as Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan were discussing how to deal with the army of monsters tomorrow, Song Yuanli, who had been guarding the door, suddenly walked out of the "conference room" and quickly came to the two of them.

"Yuan Li, are there any unusual movements from the monster army?" Seeing Song Yuanli suddenly breaking in, Song Qingyu, who thought that the monster army was preparing to attack the city again, hurriedly asked.

Upon hearing this, Song Yuanli immediately shook his head and replied, "Reporting to my great-aunt, the monster army has not made any moves. It was Changze who came from home. He said he had something urgent to discuss and wanted to see you now."

"Changze? Wasn't he asked to guard Chiyanfang? Why is he here now? Is there something wrong between him and Yuxin again?" Song Qingyu asked again with a puzzled look on his face.

"That shouldn't be the case. I saw that he brought someone with him. From what he just said, it seemed that he brought this person specially to meet your two ancestors." Song Yuanli replied with some embarrassment.

"Oh! Who is it that you haven't seen before?"

Song Yuanli shook his head and said, "This person looks very unfamiliar. He doesn't look like a cultivator from our country. I can't tell his cultivation level. He seems to be a senior Jindan."

"A strange Jindan cultivator, could it be the fellow Taoist from the Tiandan League, who is here to look for your sister-in-law?" Upon hearing this, Song Qingyu looked at Huang Siyuan beside him, with a look of surprise and joy on his face.

The battlefield situation in "Jinshanfang" has now fallen into a tense state. Song Qingyu is struggling to break the deadlock and is worried that Huang Siyuan will find it difficult to handle the situation alone after he leaves.

Suddenly a Jindan cultivator came to visit. If Song Qingyu and the others could ask him for help, they might be able to immediately turn the situation on the battlefield around and resolve the current crisis they were facing.

If there is a chance to repel the fierce attack of the monster army on the market town in the next battle, Song Qingyu can leave here with peace of mind and lead people to reinforce "Guiyunfang".

Hearing that the person who came might be a strange Jindan cultivator, Huang Siyuan was also a little surprised. After thinking for a while, he immediately said to the two of them calmly:
"Alright! Qingyu, stop guessing here. Since they are outside, let them come in quickly. We will know who they are looking for after just one look!"

"Well! Yuan Li, go and invite the people in first, and then go and arrange some tea and spiritual fruits. Don't neglect this fellow Taoist!"

After Song Yuanli bowed in response, he immediately turned around and walked out. After a while, he brought in Song Changze and a strange man in black who were waiting outside the door.

"Greetings to the two ancestors!"

After entering the room, Song Changze immediately stepped forward and bowed to Song Qingyu and the others. Then he introduced the man in black next to them to the two of them, and told them about how he had helped him repel the army of monsters that besieged "Chiyanfang".

The man in black in front of them looked very unfamiliar. Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan exchanged glances, but they were surprised that neither of them saw the answer they wanted to know in each other's eyes.

Seeing this, Song Qingyu sent Song Changze and the other two away first, then with a smile on his face, he bowed to the man in black who had been silent since he came in and asked:

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me for being rude. I don't know where we have met you before. Could you please remind me?"

The man in black looked at Song Qingyu, then at Huang Siyuan not far away, with a look of surprise on his face. He bowed to Song Qingyu and then replied with some doubt:

"Didn't you say you would bring me here to find the ancestor of the Song family? Where is Song Qingming? Isn't he here?"

Hearing that the other party was looking for Song Qingming, Song Qingyu showed an expression of "I see" and quickly explained with a smile:

"So you are here to look for Brother Seven, no wonder you look so unfamiliar to us. How could Changze be so reckless and not ask for details first?

Don't misunderstand, fellow Taoist. Song Qingming is my elder brother. Usually, these younger generations are used to calling us ancestors. Changze must have mistakenly thought that fellow Taoist came to see me, so he hurriedly brought you here. "

"Oh! It's okay. I was in a hurry and didn't explain clearly. I don't know where Fellow Daoist Song is now. I have something to ask him. Can you two take me to see him?"

The man in black sighed softly after listening to Song Qingyu's explanation, and then he spoke out the purpose of his trip. "Seventh Brother is not here now. The two of us need to guard the market, so it is not convenient for us to take you to see him right away. I wonder what this fellow Taoist's name is, and if you have any urgent business to see him, can you tell us? I will help you convey a few words first.

Don't worry, fellow Taoist, Song Qingming is my brother, and this guy is also his Taoist partner, and we are both close to him." Song Qingyu finished speaking, and then turned his eyes to the other party, waiting for the black-clothed man's answer.

After Song Qingming formed the Jindan, he not only went to the "Donghuang Kingdom" to cultivate for many years, but also traveled in the "East China Sea Cultivation World" and near the Floating Cloud Mountains. It was not surprising that he met several unfamiliar Jindan cultivators.

However, the figure, appearance and tone of voice of the man in black in front of him made Song Qingyu feel a little strange, so he asked a few more questions out of concern, wanting to find out the other party's purpose in looking for Song Qingming.

After hearing Song Qingyu's introduction, the man in black looked at her and Huang Siyuan again, then slowly said, "You are Fellow Daoist Qingyu, right? I've heard Fellow Daoist Song mention you before.

My name is Li Xuan. I have known Fellow Daoist Song for many years. I came to him this time to ask him to do me a favor, but it is inconvenient to tell you. Can you tell me where Fellow Daoist Song is? I will go to him directly and not trouble you."

Song Qingyu smiled and said, "Daoyou, you misunderstood. It's not that we don't want to tell you. Daoyou, Li, you must know very well that our Wei country is suffering from the chaos of monsters. We are being attacked by monster armies everywhere and it is very dangerous.

The place where Seventh Brother is now is surrounded by a large army of monsters. Although you are a Jindan cultivator, it is impossible for you to pass through the blockade of the monster army alone. You can only go to Guyang Mountain and use the sect's teleportation array to get there.

However, the situation on the battlefield is very difficult now, and the sect is guarding the teleportation array very closely. It is definitely impossible for ordinary outsiders to use the teleportation, and we need the help of sect elders like us to lead the way."

"So, I won't be able to see Fellow Daoist Song now!"

Seeing that the other party seemed a little discouraged because he couldn't see Song Qingming now, Song Qingyu hurriedly smiled and explained:

"That's not the case. I'm going to lead people to Guiyunfang for reinforcement in two days. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay here and wait for me for two days. Then I will take you to Guiyunfang to meet Brother Seven."

However, Daoyou has been deliberately concealing your identity here today, which still makes me a little worried. Before that, Daoyou Li, can you give me another proof that you really know Brother Seven, so that I can take you to Guyang Mountain and explain everything to the sect."

After saying that, Song Qingyu looked closely at "Li Xuan", waiting for the other party's answer with a very calm expression.

Suddenly hearing Song Qingyu say that "Li Xuan" intentionally covered his face, Huang Siyuan, who was standing aside, suddenly became more vigilant and was also very curious about the other party's purpose in doing so.

"Except for Nascent Soul cultivators, few people can see through my magic weapon so quickly. I've heard from Fellow Daoist Song that you are also a smart person. I didn't expect that you really surprised me."

The voice of "Li Xuan" changed, and then he raised his hand and wiped it above his forehead, and took out a purple round bead magic weapon from it.

At the same time, "Li Xuan's" figure and appearance also changed. He changed from an ordinary-looking man in black to a beautiful and dignified young woman, restoring his original appearance.

When Song Qingyu saw the other person's true identity, which turned out to be a young woman disguised as a man, there was no surprise on his face.

Many years ago, when Song Qingyu was traveling alone, she had disguised herself as a man many times in order to make it easier to get around.

But she is a girl after all. Even if she pretends to be a man many times, there will occasionally be some unintentional actions of hers that make people with ulterior motives feel unusual.

The reason why Song Qingyu was able to see through "Li Xuan"'s concealment of his true face so quickly was because of her experience. She was very familiar with some of "Li Xuan's" actions and tone of voice, which allowed her to slowly see some clues.

The woman who called herself "Li Xuan" was Li Xuanyi, who followed Song Qingming to the Floating Cloud Mountain Immortal Cultivation World more than half a year ago, and then went to the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World" alone.

"To be honest, I have known Fellow Daoist Song for a long time, but he has never given me anything good. I wonder if this thing can prove to you that I really know Fellow Daoist Song!"

After revealing his true identity in front of Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, Li Xuanyi raised his hand gently with a calm expression, and soon a ball of green light appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"This is the Yuxuan Sutra. Are you from the same sect as my seventh brother?"

Seeing the green spiritual light in Li Xuanyi's hand, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan, who were already very familiar with Song Qingming's practice of this technique, immediately recognized it and showed a look of shock on their faces.

"Well! Since you know this, then the matter is easy to explain. To be honest, I entered the sect earlier than Junior Brother Song, so I can be considered his senior sister from the same sect.

It's just that the sect has ordered us disciples not to reveal our identities outside. You only need to know this much about this matter. Don't ask me about other things. Now you should be able to believe what I say!"

"Li Dao, Senior Sister Li, recently our sect has been in chaos due to the invasion of monsters from the northern border. We are also worried that someone with ulterior motives will take advantage of this to infiltrate the sect. I hope you will forgive me for my impoliteness just now."

After confirming Li Xuanyi's identity, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan looked at each other, then hurried forward, bowed their heads and made apology with a slight look of apology.

Although the Yuxuan Sutra technique deduced by Li Xuanyi is a little different from Song Qingming's "Qingyu Refining Treasure Technique", the "Yuxuan Sutra" spiritual energy it carries makes it easy to distinguish it from other similar techniques.

Moreover, when Song Qingming came back before, he also told the two girls that he was in the immortal cultivation world of "Donghuang Country", looking for subsequent skills and joining a sect.

Although Song Qingming did not mention the "Taixu Sect" in detail to Song Qingyu and the others due to sect rules at the time, he also told them that he had deduced the subsequent exercises of the "Yuxuan Sutra" there.

Now seeing that Li Xuanyi also possessed the "Yuxuan Sutra" skills, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan naturally believed in each other's identity immediately and followed Song Qingming in calling her "senior sister".

Seeing this, Li Xuanyi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You are all close to Junior Brother Song, so there is no need to be so polite. I came to Junior Brother Song this time to ask him for help with some personal matters. Please take me to see him in a few days.

Also, from now on, don’t reveal the relationship between Junior Brother Song and I in front of outsiders. Just say that he and I are good friends who met in Donghuang Country. I hope you can help cover it up.”

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Li, we have made note of this. It must be hard for you to come from afar. Now that Brother Seven is not here, if we don't treat you well, I'm afraid he will blame us for not knowing etiquette when we see him in a few days.

I have asked someone to prepare the best spiritual tea, please come with us to the cave to taste the tea and rest for a while." Song Qingyu nodded slightly in response, then smiled and stretched out his hand to Li Xuanyi, making a gesture of invitation.

"Then I won't be polite. I'll bother you for a few days!"

After revealing his true identity to Song Qingyu, Li Xuanyi quickly let go of himself, smiled and nodded in agreement. Soon, the three of them, led by Song Qingyu, came to a quiet cave to the west of the market.

After knowing the relationship between Li Xuanyi and Song Qingming, Song Qingyu and Huang Siyuan showed great respect to her, calling her "senior sister" all the time. Li Xuanyi, who was younger, was also quite happy to be called that, and she quickly became familiar with the two girls.

Huang Siyuan even personally brewed a pot of high-level spiritual tea for Li Xuanyi that she had brought from the "East China Sea Immortal Cultivation World" a few years ago.

Li Xuanyi, who often travels and has tasted many delicious spiritual teas, couldn't help but praise Huang Siyuan's tea-making skills after drinking it.

"Senior Sister Li, Sister Siyuan is not only good at making tea, but also famous for her spiritual cooking skills. It's a pity that due to the recent monster riots, she has been busy dealing with the monster army heading south all day long. I haven't tasted Sister Siyuan's cooking skills for a long time."

"Really? Then if I have the chance someday, I will definitely try Fellow Daoist Siyuan's cooking."

Hearing Song Qingyu praising Huang Siyuan in person, with a hint of aftertaste in his words, Li Xuanyi, who was also interested in delicious spiritual food, couldn't help but reveal a look of curiosity on his face.

Seeing that both of them looked at her, Huang Siyuan, who was holding a teapot in her hand, hurriedly said modestly: "Senior sister, don't listen to Qingyu's nonsense. I just know a little bit about spiritual cooking skills. How can I be as good as she said.

However, since you have come from afar, I must at least do my best to be a good host on behalf of my husband. There happen to be some spirit fish in the treasury of the market town. Tomorrow I will have someone fetch some and make a few signature dishes for you.

In the past few years, I have been practicing the art of alchemy, and my spiritual cooking skills have become a little rusty. I hope Senior Sister Li will not despise me."

"Haha! That's great, I'm all thanks to my senior sister!" Before Li Xuanyi could reply, Song Qingyu, who had been a little greedy, nodded happily.

Just as the three were chatting in the cave, the magic circle at the entrance of the cave suddenly fluctuated, and then a white sound transmission note flew in from outside and fell into Song Qingyu's hands.

"Qingyu, is it possible that the army of monsters is attacking the market again?" (End of this chapter)
