Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Seeing the small flying boat coming from afar, the "Black Dragon Demon King" who was hiding on the top of a mountain said a word and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

The flying boat that came to support was moving at an incredibly fast speed, far beyond the reach of a Jindan cultivator. The "Black Dragon Demon King" immediately determined at a glance that there must be a Yuanying cultivator on the flying boat.

Just as the two Demon Kings were preparing to intercept the flying boat's retreat, the flying boat that was being besieged by the "Golden Tiger Demon King" suddenly underwent a different change.

Originally according to the plan of the "Black Dragon Demon Emperor", they only needed to delay the flying boat to lure the reinforcements from the "Xiaoyao Sect", and then cooperate with the main teams led by the two demon emperors to attack from both sides and kill all the human cultivators who came to reinforce here.

Upon seeing the arrival of reinforcements from the "Xiaoyao Sect", the "Golden Tiger Demon King" immediately gave orders to take all the demons off the flying boat and go forward to besiege the human monks who came to support.

"Humph! It's too late for you to leave now. Today is the day you die."

Unexpectedly, an angry shout suddenly came from the large flying boat behind them, and then dozens of foundation-building cultivators led by Song Qingming and Zhao Mengling rushed out of the flying boat and stopped the many monsters that wanted to retreat.

Seeing Song Qingming and many other cultivators suddenly rushing out from the flying boat, the demon cultivators such as the "Golden Tiger Demon King" were shocked. They immediately realized that they came to lure the enemy, as if the other party had been prepared and had also fallen into an ambush by the human cultivators.

In the past six months or so, the two sides have been confronting each other in the "Baiyun Valley". In order to ease the previous pressure and force the human monks to withdraw, the "Molong Demon King" frequently arranged for his demon kings to lead elite level 2 and above demon beasts to ambush the rear supply lines of the "Xiaoyao Sect".

These monsters are small in size and move quickly. They always launch sneak attacks on weaker supply convoys and flying boats, destroy the cargo on them and quickly flee the scene, making it impossible for the monks coming to support them to catch up with them.

In just half a year, five or six convoys carrying supplies to and from the front line had been attacked, and even a large flying boat was forcibly destroyed by them due to untimely rescue.

As a result, the "Xiaoyao Sect" suffered hundreds of casualties and a large amount of supplies sent to the front line were lost. This was a headache for the "Xiaoyao Sect" and it has been trying to find a solution to the hidden dangers in the rear recently.

In order to deal with these small groups of monsters that came to attack the supply convoy, the "Xiaoyao Sect" decided on this method of waiting for the opportunity after some discussion.

First, let Song Qingming and some other high-level cultivators hide quietly in the flying boat that transports supplies. When the demons come to attack the flying boat, they will suddenly rush out to catch the enemy off guard, and then cooperate with the cultivators who come to support to catch them all in one fell swoop.

In order to prevent the enemy from discovering anything unusual during the battle, only Jin Ziyuan, who was escorting the flying boat, knew that Song Qingming and his companions were hiding in the flying boat.

At that time, the other low-level cultivators on the flying boat were also shocked when they saw Song Qingming and others suddenly rush out of the warehouse. They didn't know where they came from.

In this battle to attack the flying boat, both sides were plotting against each other at the beginning, but neither of them knew the other's plan.

At this time, Song Qingming and others who rushed out from above the flying boat thought that the only ones coming to intercept the flying boat were the army of monsters led by the "Golden Tiger Demon King", and they were still happy that they finally caught the other party this time.

At this time, Bai Yuxian, who was standing on a flying boat in the distance, was controlling the flying boat and was quickly approaching this flying boat. Seeing from afar that Song Qingming and others had entangled their opponents, everyone on the flying boat was also very excited.

Just when they thought they had succeeded, seven or eight beams of light suddenly appeared on the other side of the mountain and quickly moved towards their location.

The two beams of light rushing in the front had an aura no weaker than that of Bai Yuxian standing at the front of the flying boat. They were obviously two powerful Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Not good! The enemy has also set up an ambush. The Black Dragon Demon King has arrived. Everyone, get ready to fight."

Seeing the escaping light coming from not far away, Bai Yuxian was the first to realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly reminded everyone on the flying boat to prepare to deal with the high-level demon cultivators attacking from not far away.

In order to lure and kill Bai Yuxian this time, the demon clan has sent out all its elite troops. In addition to the "Black Dragon Demon King" and the "Green Heron Demon King", there are also nine demon kings.

Four of them are already entangled with Song Qingming and others, and the remaining five demon kings are now following the two demon emperors, ready to help deal with the other helpers brought by Bai Yuxian and create opportunities for the two demon kings to kill Bai Yuxian.

On Bai Yuxian's side, in addition to herself, she also brought five Jindan cultivators, namely Li Wutong, Chu Fengping, Huang Siyuan, Zhou Ziyang and Ma Bochen, a Jindan elder sent by Pei State Zhenyang Sect to provide support.

As soon as the Jindan cultivators from both sides met, they quickly started fighting each other. Bai Yuxian was soon surrounded by the two Demon Kings, one in front and one behind.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Bai, I'm afraid you can't leave today."

Seeing that there was only Bai Yuxian, a Nascent Soul cultivator, on the flying boat as he had expected, the "Black Dragon Demon King" was overjoyed and immediately mocked Bai Yuxian.

In his eyes, Bai Yuxian's cultivation had just broken through the Nascent Soul stage not long ago, and she was far from being his opponent in a one-on-one fight. With the help of the "Green Heron Demon King", Bai Yuxian would definitely not be able to escape today.

However, Bai Yuxian, who was surrounded, did not seem too panicked although her face was a little solemn. After being surrounded by the two demon kings, she did not choose to escape immediately, but directly took out a green semicircular jade pendant and placed it in her hand.

"Since we have already met, I must learn a few moves from the Demon King today. However, I don't want to accompany you two who are outnumbered and bullying the weak. If we want to fight, we must be fair."

After Bai Yuxian finished speaking, she cast a spell to activate the jade pendant in her hand. Soon, the jade pendant in her hand automatically flew into the air and turned into a ball of white light.

Seeing this scene, the "Molong Demon King" who was still a little confused about what the other party wanted to do, saw that Bai Yuxian seemed to be trying to use some powerful magical power.
After exchanging glances with the "Green Heron Demon King", the two of them immediately took the initiative to attack Bai Yuxian's location, trying to stop the other party from casting spells.

However, despite their quick movements, they did not interrupt Bai Yuxian's spell as they had hoped. As the green jade pendant turned into a ball of white light, a figure soon appeared in the spiritual light and stepped forward to stop the "Black Dragon Demon King" who was attacking here.

"It's you, Li Mufeng!"

Seeing his old rival Li Mufeng suddenly appear from the white light, the "Black Dragon Demon King"'s face changed and he was a little surprised. He didn't understand how Li Mufeng suddenly appeared from the white light.

"You are really good at scheming. You actually ambushed us here. If Yu Xian hadn't brought the Yin-Yang Heart Jade with her, we would have almost been succeeded by your evil plan."

Li Mufeng, who stopped the "Black Dragon Demon King", glanced at the entire battlefield and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that the "Black Dragon Demon King" had already waited for reinforcements and successfully ambushed Bai Yuxian and others here.

Fortunately, recently, Li Mufeng was worried about Bai Yuxian going out alone to provide support, so he gave Bai Yuxian a set of teleportation jade rings passed down by the sect's ancestors and asked her to carry them with her just in case.

The "Yin Yang He Xin Jade" is divided into two pieces of yin and yang. As long as the person holding one of the jade pendants casts a spell to activate the magic weapon, he can directly teleport the person holding the other half of the jade ring to his side within a certain distance.

However, this magic weapon is not like a teleportation array, which can be used unlimitedly as long as there are enough spirit stones. Instead, it has a certain time limit, and a cultivator can only use it once a day.

This set of teleportation jade rings can be used by cultivators at the Jindan stage and above, but the teleportation distance is slightly shorter and is only effective within a thousand miles. If used by a Yuanying cultivator, it can be used to teleport about five thousand miles.

It was precisely because he had the "Yin-Yang Jade" on him that when Bai Yuxian saw the two Demon Kings coming to besiege him, he did not choose to escape at the first moment. Instead, he decisively used this magic weapon to teleport Li Mufeng, who was far away outside the "Baiyun Valley", directly over.

Hearing what Li Mufeng said, the "Black Dragon Demon King" couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He had planned this situation carefully and thought he had blocked Bai Yuxian and that the plan was foolproof. However, he never expected that the other party had such a rare teleportation magic weapon in his hands, which led to a huge change in the entire battle situation.

The demon clan, which had originally been confident of victory, suddenly had most of its advantage offset by the other side due to the appearance of Li Mufeng, and the two sides began to become evenly matched.

The human cultivators also felt very regretful. This time they had hooked up the "Golden Tiger Demon King" and so many demon masters. They could catch them all in one fell swoop and severely damage the demon army, thus opening up the situation on the front battlefield.

Unexpectedly, this time the other party not only came out in full force, but also received reinforcements from the "Green Heron Demon King". They originally wanted to hunt them but ended up attracting tigers, which completely ruined the original plan of the human cultivators.

It was supposed to be a small-scale sneak attack on logistical supplies, but as the fighting went on, high-level monks from both sides rushed out from behind and joined the battlefield, turning the battle into a head-on confrontation between the human monks and the main force of the demon clan.

The monks on both sides who were fighting were all surprised at this moment. They didn't expect that the battle that they thought they had a sure victory would accidentally turn into the current evenly matched battle.

However, now that the monks from both sides have already started fighting, there is no time to think so much. In order to win this battle, everyone is trying their best to use their strongest magical powers to fight the enemy.

High in the sky, the duel between the four Nascent Soul cultivators was particularly fierce.

The strength of Li Mufeng and the "Black Dragon Demon King" is not much different. They are also old rivals and are very familiar with each other's magical powers. Naturally, they are evenly matched in a fight. Even if each of them uses their full strength without reservation, it is still difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time.

After all, Bai Yuxian had just formed his Nascent Soul not long ago, and both his cultivation and fighting skills were slightly weaker than the "Green Heron Demon King" who was at the third level of the Nascent Soul.

After the two sides fought, Bai Yuxian seemed to be fighting back and forth with the "Green Heron Demon King", but Bai Yuxian's strength was obviously slightly weaker and he soon fell into a disadvantage.

Fortunately, the gap in strength between the two sides was not too big. Although the "Green Heron Demon King" could gain some advantages in the battle, it was not so easy to quickly defeat the opponent. The battlefield of the Jindan cultivators below was divided into two parts. On one side, Chen Xuanxin and the other five who came with Bai Yuxian to support faced the five demon kings of the demon clan.

On the other side, Song Qingming, Zhao Mengling and Jin Ziyuan were fighting against four demon masters led by the "Golden Tiger Demon King".

Although the number of people on both sides is almost equal, the demon clan sent out elite masters this time. The cultivation levels of more than a dozen demon kings are basically above the middle stage of the Golden Core. There are three great demon kings in the late Golden Core stage alone. The overall strength is slightly higher than that of the human race.

There are only more than sixty foundation-building cultivators on the human side, which is much less than the hundreds of second-level monsters of the demon race.

Fortunately, the human cultivators still have a large flying boat that can provide some help. The seven or eight second-level Feiyun crossbows on it are equivalent to several foundation-building cultivators.

Moreover, once the cultivators of the human race encounter danger, they can use the flying boat formation to temporarily avoid it.

Although their overall strength was inferior to that of the enemy due to the small number of foundation-building cultivators, the human cultivators had some geographical advantages and were able to barely maintain the balance on the battlefield.

The battle was extremely fierce, with the monks from both sides fighting from the afternoon until dusk.

Finally, after a large number of reinforcements from the rear of the "Xiaoyao Sect" arrived at the battlefield on flying boats, the "Black Dragon Demon King" took the initiative to lead the monsters to evacuate the battlefield.

Although the final result was that the human cultivators repelled the enemy and saved the large flying boat that was transporting supplies, the demon clan took the initiative to retreat under the leadership of the "Black Dragon Demon King", and their strength was not greatly damaged.

On the other hand, the "Xiaoyao Sect" not only lost more than 20 foundation-building cultivators, but also several Jindan cultivators were seriously injured.

Even Bai Yuxian, the Nascent Soul ancestor, was unfortunately injured by the poison pill of the "Green Heron Demon King" during the battle. After returning to the base, Bai Yuxian immediately began to retreat to heal his wounds.

On the way back to the front line after the battle, everyone from the "Xiaoyao Sect" had a somewhat ugly look on their faces.

Now that the ancestor Bai Yuxian of the "Xiaoyao Sect" is injured, and the demon clan has received a powerful reinforcement in the form of the "Green Heron Demon King", the power of the two sides has begun to gradually reverse, and the demon beasts are now in the upper hand.

In this situation, if no other reinforcements come to help, the "Xiaoyao Sect" will not be able to capture the tightly defended "Baiyun Valley", and it will be difficult to defeat the monsters even in a head-on confrontation outside.

But if they retreat now, the spiritual veins they had previously conquered are so close to the "Baiyun Valley" that they will definitely not be able to defend them, and they will have to hand them back to the demon clan.

After working hard for more than half a year, sacrificing thousands of monks' lives and a large amount of supplies, no one would be willing to accept a direct retreat.

Moreover, with so many cultivators and supplies all at the front line of "Baiyun Valley", it is not an easy task to withdraw them all. Once the cultivators have large-scale abnormal movements, the demon clan will be able to detect it immediately and will most likely pursue them directly.

If such a large-scale retreat is entangled by the demon army, it is very likely to lead to a rout. By then, it is unknown how many cultivators will be lost before they can safely retreat to the south.

Whether staying to continue fighting or choosing to retreat directly, the risks involved were great, and the "Xiaoyao Sect" was caught in a dilemma for a while.

After the demon clan withdrew to "Baiyun Valley", although their elaborate arrangements failed to lure the enemy, "Molong Demon King" and his men were not too disappointed.

Although the previous battle did not cause any damage to the foundation of the "Xiaoyao Sect", they had already seen the strengths and weaknesses of the human cultivators. After returning, the "Black Dragon Demon King" immediately began to prepare for war, intending to counterattack the human cultivators to regain the previously lost territories.

Just as the demon cultivators in the "Baiyun Valley" were preparing to rest and immediately counterattack the human cultivators outside, a piece of news that made them very happy soon reached the ears of the "Black Dragon Demon King" who was discussing a counterattack plan.

"Bai Long, are you sure that Xiaoyao Sect has already started to withdraw its troops? Is this a mistake?"

The "Black Dragon Demon King" who was discussing a counterattack with many demon monks in the main hall suddenly heard the White Dragon Demon King standing below suddenly come to report that the human monks outside the valley had begun to withdraw. He opened his mouth to confirm with some disbelief.

Upon hearing this, the "White Dragon Demon King" immediately nodded respectfully and replied:
"Reporting to the ancestor, I just heard the men outside report that Xiaoyao Sect has a flying boat full of supplies heading south, so I went to check it out with fellow Daoist Jinhu, and found that the flying boat was indeed full of supplies.

Now that the war is imminent, they have begun to transport supplies back. My subordinates have analyzed that the human monks are indeed showing signs of retreating."

As soon as the White Dragon Demon King finished speaking, the Golden Tiger Demon King on the side immediately stepped forward and echoed, “Ancestor, Daoist Fellow White Dragon is telling the truth, I saw it with my own eyes.

I think after the battle a few days ago, they must have realized that they are no match for us, so they want to escape early. Old Ancestor, do you think we should counterattack immediately to prevent them from escaping secretly? "

"Fellow Daoist Qinglu, what do you think about this matter?"

After receiving replies from the White Dragon and Golden Tiger Demon Kings, the "Black Dragon Demon King" did not express his opinion directly. Instead, he turned around and asked the "Green Heron Demon King" who was sitting next to him, wanting to hear the other party's opinion.

The "Blue Heron Demon King" who was playing with a white dagger in his hand heard the question from the "Black Dragon Demon King" and immediately smiled and answered:
"Haha! That Bai Yuxian was hit by my poison pill last time. Even if they have antidotes, it will be difficult to fully recover from the poison in a short period of time.

If Bai Yuxian is unable to use his full strength, Xiaoyao Sect will definitely not be our opponent. I guess they are now out of options and that’s why they want to retreat.

I think, brother, you don't need to rush into a decisive battle with them. Just wait patiently for a few more days. When they start to retreat, we will surely win if we go after them.

By then, Brother Mo Long will not only be able to defeat Xiaoyao Sect, but he may also be able to move south and seize the northern territory of Wei State."

"Brother, you are right. We can't be too hasty in dealing with these cunning humans. We must wait for the right time to strike. If we want to fight, we must inflict heavy damage on them at once and not give them a chance to make a comeback easily.

Don't worry, if we can really take over the northern part of Weiguo in one fell swoop this time, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. No matter how much territory we capture, we can just divide it equally."

"Haha, then I thank you in advance, bro."

After the "Green Heron Demon King" finished speaking, he looked meaningfully at the "Black Dragon Demon King" beside him, and soon saw a hint of greed in the other's eyes. The two of them laughed at the same time in the hall.

A few days later, on an ordinary second-level spiritual vein dozens of miles away from "Baiyun Valley".

Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian were sitting in a huge white tent that was temporarily built on the top of the mountain. Song Qingming and many other Jindan cultivators were standing below, discussing with the two about withdrawing to the south.

After a fierce battle with the demon clan a few days ago, although the "Xiaoyao Sect" suffered little loss, it still had the strength to fight against the enemy.

But now that the demon clan has received a powerful reinforcement in the form of the "Green Heron Demon King", the "Xiaoyao Sect" has lost its original advantage on the battlefield.

If they continue to fight, and if reinforcements from other places cannot arrive in time, they will most likely be eroded step by step by the counterattack of the demon clan.

For this reason, after careful consideration, Li Mufeng decided to temporarily abandon the spiritual veins he had captured in the surrounding areas and decisively withdraw to avoid being entangled by the demon army and being unable to escape.

Although they knew that if they retreated completely, the demon tribe would most likely pursue them halfway and they would inevitably suffer some losses along the way, the Xiaoyao Sect had no better solution at the moment and could only take one step at a time and see what happened.

Just as everyone was discussing this, Yun Nishang, who was ordered to guard the rear, suddenly rushed to the front line with a letter, bringing excellent news to the "Xiaoyao Sect" which was discussing retreat.

Thousands of reinforcements led by Zheng Zitong, the Yuanying Grand Elder of the "Xingchen Gate" of the Wu State, have arrived in the territory of Wei State and will reach the front battlefield in two days at most.

The "Xingchen Gate" was originally located in the territory of Zheng State in the east, helping the two major sects of Zheng State to deal with the "Red Cloud Demon King" in the north and recover the territory that Zheng State had lost in the past few hundred years.

After receiving the call for help from the "Xiaoyao Sect", they, who had already forced the "Red Cloud Demon King" to retreat, rushed directly from the west of Zheng State through the "Yunwu Mountain" to the Wei State.

Upon hearing that reinforcements from the "Xingchen Gate" would be arriving soon, the gloom on the faces of all the people from the "Xiaoyao Sect" present immediately disappeared, and they all showed some excitement.

"Haha! The reinforcements from Xingchenmen are here. We don't have to be afraid of them this time. As long as the demon army dares to come out, we will make them know how powerful we are."

"Uncle Li, do we not need to retreat anymore? Should we send a message to Junior Sister Xu and the others to bring back the supplies?"

"No! We still need to continue the retreat. Send the order to the flying boats to transport supplies to the south as quickly as possible. Don't let the demon tribe see any clues." (End of this chapter)
