Qinghe Immortal Clan.

After the "Funiu Mountain" family discussed and decided on the strategy to expand northward, the entire Song family immediately began to mobilize.

The monks outside began to return to "Funiu Mountain" to await the family's dispatch. The family's "Gold Storage Pavilion" also opened the treasury and distributed the supplies needed on the battlefield to the monks who were confirmed to be about to go on the expedition.

Except for "Funiu Mountain", almost all the immortal cultivation families under the Song family have received conscription orders from "Funiu Mountain", requiring them to send some cultivators to follow the Song family to expand their territory to the north.

After receiving the conscription order, the foundation-building families in Qinghe and Pingyang counties immediately followed the Song family and began to mobilize.

Not only that, the markets "Chiyanfang", "Jinshanfang" and "Qinghefang" located in the territory of the Song family also began to post notices to hire independent cultivators to participate in the action of expanding the territory.

In order to invite many independent cultivators to participate, the Song family offered very generous conditions this time. As long as anyone made contributions by killing monsters, they would not only receive certain rewards.

Those with outstanding merits can also freely choose a spiritual vein below level three among these newly expanded spiritual veins for cultivation, or create a new immortal cultivation family, and in the future they can become vassals of the Song family and receive the protection of "Funiu Mountain".

As soon as this notice was posted, it immediately received responses from many independent cultivators in the Song family.

Upon hearing that following the Song family to expand their territory would give them a chance to seize spiritual veins and start a family of immortal cultivators, even some veteran independent cultivators in neighboring counties who had this idea came to Qinghe County to join in the fun.

Two months passed quickly, and at this time, the square west of "Chiyanfang" was already crowded with hundreds of independent cultivators who had rushed there after hearing the news.

Under the arrangement of the Song family monks, these people stood obediently in several rows and were patiently being called out one by one by several monks from the market law enforcement team.

Hundreds of cultivators also gathered on the other side of the square. However, compared to those scattered cultivators with disorganized formations, these people were organized into several groups, and their cultivation quality was obviously higher.

At this time, another group of monks in uniform came over here on the street east of the market. The leader, a middle-aged man, had just led the monks behind him to an open space when he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

"I thought Xinyun would be the leader of the Lotus Mountain team this time, but I didn't expect that it was Brother Gao who came in person. It's been a long time, Brother Gao!"

Gao Changjin turned around immediately upon hearing this, and seeing Li Chengyue and Luo Daozhen walking towards him, he immediately smiled and stepped forward to bow to them in return.

"Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Luo are all well. Originally, Xinyun should have come here, but he just happened to have made some progress in his cultivation a few days ago and went into seclusion to practice, so I had to leave the mountain."

"Oh! Fellow Daoist Xinyun is in seclusion again. This time, is he preparing to break through to the middle stage of foundation building? I have to congratulate Fellow Daoist Gao in advance. When Fellow Daoist Xinyun comes out of seclusion, please let us know, and let us have a chance to go to Lotus Mountain to ask for a drink."

"Haha! No problem, no problem. Lotus Mountain has always welcomed friends from all over the world. You two Taoist friends can come anytime you want. I have a few jars of fine wine that I have collected for many years, which is just enough to entertain you two."

"Fellow Daoist Gao is so generous, so it's settled then..."

Gao Changjin and the other two were chatting happily here, while several foundation-building cultivators led by the Huang family of "Taiyuan Mountain" who were standing not far away saw this scene and showed a bit of disdain on their faces.

"Humph! I was wondering why the Gao family has been targeting the business in Fangshi recently. These old guys really got together a long time ago. Brother Huang, I told you that the Gao family and the Li family have a special relationship, but you still didn't believe me. You can finally see it this time!"

"Gao Changjin, I really misjudged him before. On the surface, he looks honest and seems to dare not do anything, but he is actually very courageous. He even dared to get together with the Li family openly.

Don't worry, although Li Chengyue has good talent, it is not so easy to form a golden elixir. As long as Funiushan does not help him, it is wishful thinking for him to break through the golden elixir realm. "

The person who was speaking was named Huang Leping, an elder of the middle stage of foundation building from the Huang family of Taiyuan Mountain. The person who was talking to him was Chen Ziliang, the head of the Chen family of Tiexian Mountain, another foundation building family in Qinghe County.

Several decades ago, Chen Yun'an, the previous patriarch of the Chen family, came to Qinghe County with his family from Tuoyun Mountain as a casual cultivator and founded the Chen family of Tiexian Mountain.

After the Chen family took root in "Qinghe County", they have been developing well. Chen Yun'an is also relatively low-key. Although he is an outsider cultivator, he has handled the relationship with the major local immortal cultivation families well.

However, Chen Yun'an had some bad luck later on. During the last monster riot, he was unlucky like Huang Sibo and encountered a powerful monster, and died in the "Jinshanfang".

Fortunately, the Chen family received compensation after the war, and used the Foundation Establishment Pill to cultivate a new Foundation Establishment cultivator, Chen Ziliang. This gradually alleviated the embarrassment of the family not having a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Although Chen Ziliang successfully established his foundation and took charge of the Chen family, due to the sudden departure of Chen Yun'an, the Chen family's status in "Qinghe County" suddenly declined a lot, and the market business on which the family relied for survival was often squeezed out by other families such as the Li family and the Luo family.

In order to get rid of the difficulties faced by his family, Chen Ziliang took the initiative to find "Taiyuan Mountain" and form an alliance with the Huang family to fight against the relentless pressure from the Li and Luo families.

After the monster riot, the Chen family and the Huang family secretly formed an alliance. The Li family and the Luo family had also been in the same boat for a long time. The several foundation-building families in the entire Qinghe County also slowly split into two factions.

On one side is the old-school foundation-building family, the Huang family of "Taiyuan Mountain", followed by the Chen family of "Tiexian Mountain" and the Wang family of "Fengtou Mountain".

On one side is an alliance of the emerging foundation-building families, the Li family of Cuilong Mountain, the Gao family of Lianhua Mountain, and the Luo family of Gaopingling, whose strength is equally strong.

Among them, the Li family has also developed very rapidly in just over a hundred years under the leadership of Li Chengyue. The family not only has Li Chengyue, the patriarch who is at the ninth level of foundation building, but also two other new foundation building cultivators, and nearly two hundred Qi refining cultivators.

Today, the Li family of "Cuilong Mountain" has three foundation-building cultivators. Their strength has surpassed that of the Gao family when Gao Yubai was still alive. They have the confidence to challenge the Huang family of "Taiyuan Mountain", the number one foundation-building family in Qinghe County.

Huang Mengde from the Huang family and Li Chengyue from the Li family have both cultivated to the ninth level of the foundation-building stage. Both of them seem to have some hope of forming a golden elixir, but it is still unclear who has a greater chance of forming a golden elixir.

Although the two sides have not yet fought openly due to the Song family of "Funiu Mountain", they have already disliked each other in secret and have been vying for power in the market.

This time, after receiving the call from the Song family of "Funiu Mountain", the six major foundation-building families of "Qinghe County" sent a number of cultivators to "Chiyanfang" to participate in the action of expanding the territory to the north.

After both parties arrived here, they naturally split into two teams and stood in a group. Although they seemed to be chatting, their eyes were always staring at each other from a distance.

Just when many cultivators were busy in the middle of the square, a huge figure suddenly flew in the air outside the market town, and then an extremely large flying boat passed through the market town's mountain protection formation and arrived above the square.

Seeing this scene, the many monks present immediately quieted down and fixed their eyes firmly on the large flying boat in front of them.

This huge flying boat stopped after it arrived above the square, then slowly descended and docked directly on the open space in the middle of the square. After a while, three foundation-building monks wearing Song family uniforms walked down from the flying boat.

Liu Yuxin, who had been waiting below for a long time, saw Song Changze walking in front of him and immediately walked up to him with a happy face and greeted him. Then he turned around and waved to the leaders of several other foundation-building families, calling them all over.

"My fellow Taoists, our ancestors are already up there, please hurry up!"

After hearing Song Changze's order, Li Chengyue, Huang Leping and others did not dare to say anything more. They hurriedly called on all the monks they brought with them to board the flying boat.
Afterwards, Liu Yuxin arranged for the nearby market law enforcement team to lead the teams in batches to bring all the hired cultivators who were assigned to take on the mission onto the flying boat. After all the people were present, Song Changze and others returned to the flying boat and issued the order to head north.

This large flying boat was rented by Song Qingming after he made a special trip to the sect's "Guyang Mountain" and found the elder of the General Affairs Hall, Xu Ziyan, to quickly transport these low-level cultivators.

Otherwise, if they only relied on their legs, it would take them more than a month just to walk from "Chiyanfang" to their destination.

Moreover, when such a large team moves in a mighty manner, it is easy for the monsters to notice something is wrong in advance. By that time, the monsters will escape in advance, and everyone's work will be in vain.

After all the cultivators from Qinghe County boarded the flying boat, the boat traveled a long distance and arrived at the "Jinshanfang" in the north. At this time, hundreds of cultivators from Pingyang County had already gathered in the market.

The flying boat had just stopped here, and many cultivators from "Pingyang County" quickly boarded the flying boat together under the arrangement of Song Changze and others.

It was not until this large flying boat was full and could no longer carry any more people that it began to take off and head north under the command of the Song family, heading straight for the largest destination of this time, "White Lion Ridge".

The third-grade inferior spiritual vein "White Lion Ridge" is located in the northeast of Pingyang County, about 3,000 miles away from "Jinshanfang", which is already deep in the Floating Cloud Mountains.

"White Lion Ridge" was originally an unnamed fairy mountain. It was renamed this mountain by cultivators because it was occupied by a white lion demon king who had just formed a pill.

Later, the "White Lion Demon King" was killed by Song Qingming and the other sects, and "White Lion Ridge" slowly became a paradise for a group of second-level monsters. Before that, there were occasionally foundation-building cultivators who came here to hunt monsters.

Song Qingyu chased the "White Rhino Demon King" who attacked "Jinshanfang" last time. Seeing that the other party finally fled to "White Lion Ridge", he suspected that the demon might be hiding there.

This is also one of the reasons why Song Qingming was determined to wipe out this place. If this monster continues to hide here, it will pose a huge threat to the "Jinshanfang" closest to it. He must find a way to kill it and eliminate the trouble forever.

Otherwise, the territory that the family has worked so hard to expand to the north will always be under the other party's eyes, and the days to come will definitely be difficult. After traveling north for most of the day, the flying boat, which has crossed thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, finally arrived at the foot of a huge mountain thousands of feet high.

Song Changze, who was standing in front of the flying boat, saw the high mountain in front of him that reached into the sky. He immediately turned around and walked to the outside of a cabin in the middle and knocked on the door softly.

"Come in!"

Hearing the command from inside, Song Changze immediately opened the door and walked in slowly. Seeing Song Qingming and the other two who were enjoying the meal and chatting not far away, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Report to the ancestor! We are already near the White Lion Ridge, and there are less than 20 miles ahead."

Hearing this, Song Qingming put down the teacup in his hand and nodded slightly, saying, "Well! Tell Yuan Hao and the others to act according to the previously agreed plan. After encircling Baishiling, you will immediately split up and attack the mountain.

They were warned that whoever encountered the White Rhino Demon King must immediately send the designated signal and never give the demon a chance to escape.

Anyone who dares to disobey orders on the battlefield will be severely punished according to family rules."

"Don't worry, ancestor. I'll make arrangements right away."

After Song Changze left, Song Qingming stood up and walked to the side, opened the window and glanced at the "White Lion Ridge" in the distance.

Because the Song family suddenly attacked with the help of the sect's large flying boat this time, the monsters on the "White Lion Ridge" did not notice the arrival of the Song family cultivators in advance.

It was not until a large number of cultivators suddenly emerged from the foot of the mountain and surrounded "White Lion Ridge" from all directions that the low-level monsters hiding at the foot of the mountain began to flee in panic.

This time, in order to wipe out the "White Lion Ridge" in one fell swoop, the Song family sent out all the elites of the family, plus the immortal cultivation families under their command and the independent cultivators recruited from the market town, a total of nearly 1,500 cultivators were sent.

These cultivators who have come here have basically been carefully selected, and their cultivation is at least above the fifth level of Qi Refining.

In addition, in front of these cultivators, there were nearly thirty foundation-building cultivators including Song Changze and others. At this time, they had led the army of cultivators that had already been divided into four teams and were rushing towards the "White Lion Ridge" quickly from different directions.

"Leave a team to guard the intersection below, and the rest of you follow me up!"

Song Changze, who was rushing in the front, killed two low-level monsters that were fleeing in front of him with one sword. After giving an order to the cultivator behind him, he took the lead in controlling the flying sword under his feet to continue chasing up the mountain.

Soon, the many monsters on the mountain reacted and began to organize to resist the attacks of several groups of monks. For a while, the entire "White Lion Ridge" was filled with the sound of killing, breaking the original tranquility of the mountain.

There are many monsters on the "White Lion Ridge", a third-grade lower-grade spiritual vein. There are more than a dozen second-grade monsters and above, and the number of first-grade monsters is no less than the army of human cultivators that came to attack.

However, the human race has a clear advantage in foundation-building combat power, and there are six cultivators in the late foundation-building stage, including Song Changze, Song Yuanhao, Liu Yuxin, and Li Chengyue, who are much stronger than the monsters.

Under their leadership, after only fighting for less than half an hour, the armies of monsters that came to resist began to retreat and slowly fled to the top of the mountain.

Just as Song Changze and others were chasing and were about to reach the halfway point of the mountain, a deafening roar suddenly came from the top of "White Lion Ridge".

Immediately afterwards, Song Changze and others who were attacking upwards felt a pressure far beyond that of the foundation-building cultivators coming towards them, causing them to stop in a hurry.

The "White Rhino Demon King" is a demon king in the middle stage of the Golden Core. He is about five or six feet tall. He rushes down from the top of the mountain, like a huge mountain pressing down on them, making the many cultivators below feel a little scared.

Some timid Qi Refining cultivators were frightened by the pressure from the Demon King. Their hands and feet could not help but tremble and they wanted to retreat involuntarily.

"Not good! The third-level demon king is coming. Xuanyu, quickly send a signal to the ancestor. All Taoist friends, form a formation to block the demon king. The rest of you should go and block the low-level demon beasts first. If anyone dares to escape from the battlefield, the law enforcement team will deal with them according to the rules of the battlefield."

Seeing the "White Rhino Demon King" suddenly appear in front and rush towards him, Song Changze hurriedly shouted to the people around him who were still in a daze, and quickly conveyed orders to stabilize the morale of the troops.

Song Linfeng reacted quickly and took out a golden talisman from his body, cast a spell to turn it into a golden light that quickly flew into the air.

Afterwards, he and the other six foundation-building cultivators including Song Changze beside him each held a silver formation flag, and quickly formed a second-level top-grade "Seven-Star Azure Dragon Formation".

This magic formation was made by Song Qingming in his spare time. It only requires three or more foundation-building cultivators to jointly activate it. With the combined efforts of Song Changze and his seven companions, they can resist the attack of an ordinary Jindan demon king for half a quarter of an hour.

After the seven people activated the formation flags in their hands, a huge light shadow with a green dragon soon appeared in front of Song Changze and others. At this time, the "White Rhino Demon King" had also quickly killed in front of them, and the single horn on his head directly emitted a fierce golden light.

Seeing the golden light coming, Song Changze and others immediately waved the formation flags in their hands quickly, injected magic power into them, controlled the green dragon light in front of them, opened its huge mouth and spit out a ball of green flame to directly block the attack of the "White Rhino Demon King".

Seeing that Song Changze and others were able to block his powerful attack, the "White Rhino Demon King" was a little surprised. He stomped his foot hard on the ground in anger, and then rushed directly towards the crowd.

The huge body of the "White Rhino Demon King" ran wildly, causing the nearby ground to shake violently, making it difficult for some Qi Refining cultivators with lower cultivation to stand steadily.

Faced with this ferocious attack that was enough to shake the earth, Song Changze and his companions showed no panic. They changed the magic circle again, causing the size of the green dragon in front to increase several times. They took the initiative to step forward to resist the "White Rhino Demon King" and tried to stop it halfway.

However, the "White Rhino Demon King" is a demon king in the middle stage of the Golden Core after all, and his physical body is very powerful. Although the Azure Dragon light and shadow controlled by Song Changze and others looks equally huge, it is not as strong as the demon king's physical body.

After the two sides collided, the Azure Dragon's light and shadow quickly showed some signs of weakness. It only resisted the opponent for a moment before being smashed into pieces in mid-air by the "White Rhino Demon King".

Seeing this scene, Song Changze and his companions were also somewhat surprised. They did not expect that the Azure Dragon Shadow that they had summoned with great difficulty would be defeated so quickly.

After seeing the "White Rhino Demon King" defeat his opponent, he let out a roar of excitement, then gathered his strength again and rushed towards him.

Song Changze and his companions could only bite the bullet and inject the remaining magic power into the formation flags in their hands. With the help of the magic formation in their hands, they conjured up the last defensive shield to block the front.

This line of defense is the last resort of the "Seven-Star Azure Dragon Formation". If it is quickly broken by the "White Rhino Demon King", then the fate of them will surely be death.

Therefore, everyone did not dare to hide their skills at this moment, and tried their best to activate the flags in their hands to cast spells to resist the next attack from the "White Rhino Demon King".

Song Changze, who was standing at the front, saw that everyone was already in a very dangerous situation. With a flash of inspiration in his hand, he threw out a blue level 2 top-grade talisman which turned into a shield to block the front, adding an extra layer of defense for everyone.

However, this second-grade top-grade talisman was obviously unable to block the full-strength attack of the "White Rhino Demon King" who was already in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. It only blocked it slightly before being smashed directly by a corner of the opponent.

The "White Rhino Demon King" rushed through the talisman shield and soon crashed headfirst into the last shield.

In this confrontation, both sides tried their best. Only with a loud "boom" was heard, the "White Rhino Demon King" was blocked by the shield and failed to succeed in the attack. Instead, he was shocked back several steps.

The situation of Song Changze and others was even worse. Their formation was broken up by the huge impact force. Several foundation-building cultivators with lower cultivation levels, such as Song Xuanyu, were knocked away more than ten feet away.

The formation flags in the hands of Song Changze and others had already slipped out of their hands and fell to the ground beside them. At this moment, all seven of them spat out blood, obviously they were all seriously injured by the attack of the "White Rhino Demon King".

The only formation that could fight against it has been broken by the Demon King. Song Changze and others no longer have any means to resist. Seeing that the "White Rhino Demon King" is accumulating strength to launch another attack, despair suddenly appeared on everyone's faces.

Just as Song Changze and others were preparing to separate and flee, an extremely sharp sword light suddenly fell from the sky in front of the "White Rhino Demon King", forcing the demon king who was accumulating strength to retreat dozens of steps.

Sensing a familiar aura in the sword light, the "White Rhino Demon King" immediately looked up into the air and discovered that the person coming was Song Qingyu, who had chased it for hundreds of miles a few months ago. He couldn't help but reveal a bit of anger in his eyes.

"You guys step back first, leave this to me!"

Seeing Song Qingyu coming to the rescue in time, Song Changze and others who were still nervous relaxed instantly, and a bit of joy appeared on their faces. After responding, they hurriedly left the place together.

After Song Changze and his men left, Song Qingyu turned to look at the "White Rhino Demon King" and then cast a spell to summon his own life-saving magic weapon, the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword".

"Last time I didn't fight you enough and let you run away. Today you have no way to retreat. Come and try the power of my sword again!" (End of this chapter)
