Qinghe Immortal Clan.

On the west side of the Skylark Mountains, deep in a mountain in the southern part of Yue State's immortal cultivation world.

Because this place is adjacent to the mountainous Skylark Mountains, there are many monsters and beasts nearby, and there are very few cultivators. Only a small number of low-level cultivators from outside come here to hunt monsters.

One afternoon, an old man in a black robe suddenly appeared in the forest.

This person was different from other monks who came here to hunt monsters. He was just walking alone in this dangerous forest, but there was no trace of nervousness or fear on his face.

Just as the old man in black robe was crossing a ridge, a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods not far ahead.

Soon, two "three-eyed wind wolves" that were half a person's height rushed out of the forest and blocked the old man in black robe, with a fierce look in their eyes.

Seeing these two "Three-Eyed Wind Wolves" in the late Qi Refining stage suddenly appearing and blocking his way, the old man in black robe, who seemed to have only the sixth level of Qi Refining, did not show the slightest panic on his face. Instead, he showed a hint of ridicule towards the other party.

Seeing that the old man in black robe did not take them seriously, the two "three-eyed wind wolves" howled in displeasure, and then one of the demon wolves jumped high and pounced quickly on the old man in black robe.

The old man in black robe just stood there with a calm expression. He did not choose to run away, nor did he dodge the attack of the "Three-eyed Wind Wolf".

Just as the "Three-eyed Wind Wolf" that had already pounced into the air was about to reach the old man in black robe with its sharp claws, a purple spiritual light suddenly emanated from its body, and soon formed a purple light shield three feet in front of the old man in black robe.

This purple light shield looked ordinary, but the moment it was touched by the wolf's claws, it suddenly made a loud noise.

Then the huge "Three-eyed Wind Wolf" was blown away like a fallen leaf blown by the wind, and hit a huge tree not far away, breaking it into two pieces.

Seeing this somewhat shocking scene, the other "Three-eyed Wind Wolf" that had just blocked the black-robed old man's back was suddenly frightened and quickly turned around and fled into the woods behind him.

"Humph! You blind fellow, you're blocking my way and you still want to run away!"

After the old man in black robe sneered, a black gas suddenly emerged from his body, and then turned into a sharp claw that quickly moved forward and grabbed the fleeing "Three-eyed Wind Wolf" in mid-air.

Only a few miserable wolf howls were heard, and then the unlucky "Three-eyed Wind Wolf" was swallowed up by the black smoke. Soon it turned into a skinny corpse and fell from mid-air.

“Hehe! Although the blood essence of these low-level monsters is not very useful, it is better than nothing. It is enough for me to save a few days of practice.

Senior Brother Wu and the others are really cowardly. They just hide in the cave all the time and don’t even dare to hunt the low-level monsters nearby. They still need me to help them clean up.”

The old man in black robe stood there with a look of satisfaction on his face, muttered something to himself, then turned around and walked towards the location of the body of another "Three-Eyed Wind Wolf".

"Hey! Who are you?"

Just as the old man in black robe was searching for the corpse of the "Three-eyed Wind Wolf", his eyes suddenly caught sight of a man in white standing under a tree not far away. He took a few steps back in surprise.

The man in white looked very young, and his aura was as quiet as the plants in the forest, completely imperceptible.

He just stood there with a smile on his face and looked at the other person quietly, but the old man in black robe immediately felt the danger, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Seeing the old man in black robe staring at him nervously, the smiling man in white stepped forward and slowly said:
"Who I am is not that important to you, I don't think you need to know!
With your level of cultivation, it is really a waste of your talent to hide in this deep mountain. Why don't you come with me? Let's go to another place and show off your abilities. How about that?"

Facing the invitation from the man in white, the nervous old man in black robe shook his head without thinking too much and said:
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. My cultivation is low, and I am afraid I don't have the skills you mentioned. Fellow Daoist, you should find someone else to help you!"

"Thank you for your kindness. I will take my leave now!"

After the old man in black robe finished speaking, he no longer wanted to care about the corpse of the "Three-eyed Wind Wolf" on the ground, and turned around and left.

But before he could walk far, a white light suddenly flashed not far in front of him, and then the figure of the man in white appeared in front of him again.

"Haha! It's not up to you to decide whether it works or not, so just come with me obediently!"

After the man in white finished speaking, a white folding fan suddenly appeared in his hand, and then it rolled up several rays of light and flew towards the old man in black robe.

"This is a magic weapon. You are a Jindan cultivator!"

Seeing the white folding fan magic weapon in the white-clothed man's hand, the old man in black robe was suddenly shocked. Without the courage to resist, he quickly turned around and fled desperately into the woods behind him, just like the "three-eyed wind wolf" he had just chased.

Just like the fate of the "Three-Eyed Wind Wolf", in the face of absolute strength, the old man in black robe also had no chance of escape.

Half a minute later, a white light flew into the air and landed on a large flying boat hidden in the clouds.

"Carry him away and search his soul first, just make sure he's not dead!"

He threw the black-robed old man who had already fainted in his hands onto the flying boat. Soon, two Qi Refining Stage disciples took the initiative to step forward and carried the motionless black-robed old man on the ground to the cabin nearby.

"Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Fang!"

As soon as the man in white finished speaking, he heard another voice from the side. He quickly turned around and bowed slightly to the two people who were walking towards him!
"I am just serving the sect, why should I say hard work? Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Song are polite!"

Li Wutong nodded slightly and said, "According to the information obtained from the previous soul search, the Jindan demon who controlled them is not nearby. This guy should be the last one to slip through the net.

Junior Brother Song and I have just consulted Senior Uncle Li and Senior Uncle Bai, and we are almost ready to take action."

After hearing what Li Wutong said, Fang Baixuan quickly responded, "Oh! Then I'll follow the instructions of the two senior brothers. It will save time if we start early, otherwise the people of Jiuyuan Sect will notice something."

After the three of them agreed, an order was quickly passed down, and the large flying boat surrounded by clouds and mist immediately set off to fly southwest.

Half an hour later, the flying boat finally crossed the mountains in the west and entered a flat land, and soon arrived at a market town backed by high mountains.

Song Qingming, standing on the flying boat, looked at the market town not far below, with a hint of excitement on his face.

It won’t be long before this market town, which has been ruled by the “Jiuyuan Sect” for hundreds of years, will belong to the “Xiaoyao Sect” of the Wei State.

The market town called "Nanyuefang" below the flying boat is not as big as the "Guiyunfang" in the north of Wei State, but it is much larger than the "Bai Shifang" controlled by the Song family. It is considered the largest market town in the southern part of Yue State.

Not only that, there is also a "Spiritual Stone Mine" that is being mined next to "Nanyuefang", and its output is more than twice that of the "Shuangfeng Mountain" vein found by the Song family back then.

This "spiritual stone vein" together with the "Nanyuefang" not far from Taiyue Lake can provide the "Jiuyuan Sect" with tens of thousands of spiritual stones every year. It is one of the most important industries of the entire "Jiuyuan Sect".

The purpose of Song Qingming and others coming here is to seize this property from the "Jiuyuan Sect".

While the people of "Xiaoyao Sect" on the flying boat were eyeing the situation below with fear, the people of "Nanyuefang" were completely unaware of this. There was still a constant stream of cultivators coming and going in front of the entrance of the market, and no one sensed the danger hidden around them.

A dozen monks from the law enforcement team who were guarding the entrance to the market town were checking the identities of the monks entering and leaving one by one, and collecting the spirit stones they had to submit to enter the market town.

"Stand up straight, you guys. Do you need to be taught how to line up? Who told you to cut in line? If you don't want to get in, get out of here!"

Among them, there was a cultivator who was only at the sixth stage of Qi Refining. Seeing that the team at the rear was somewhat messy, he shouted harshly, and then walked forward to maintain order.

When he came to the back of the team and was about to pull out a monk who had cut in line, a sharp flying sword suddenly pierced into the man's back and then emerged from his chest.

"Ah! What do you want to do?"

This cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining only had time to turn around and take a look behind him before he quickly fell down. Blood immediately oozed out of his body, dyeing the nearby ground blood red.

"Murder! Someone has killed someone."

".."

This sudden scene also frightened several monks who were queuing nearby. Soon the scene was filled with shouting and chaos.

"No one is allowed to move. Who dares to cause trouble in Nanyuefang?"

Just as the scene was in chaos, the voice of a foundation-building cultivator suddenly stopped everyone, and then a dozen cultivators from the market law enforcement team quickly walked in from the door, led by a middle-aged man.

After seeing the monk's body lying on the ground, the law enforcement team members immediately showed some anger on their faces.

But before they could figure out what was happening, several rays of light suddenly flashed in the crowd, and a dozen monks hiding in the crowd rushed directly to the lightly guarded entrance of the market town.

"Oh no! Someone is trying to destroy the formation, stop them now!"

Seeing that someone was trying to force his way into the market while they were away, the foundation-building cultivator reacted immediately and hurriedly shouted orders to the several cultivators who were still guarding the door to guard the large array of eyes at the entrance of the market.

At the same time, he hurriedly led the monks around him to rush back for help, trying to stop those strange monks who suddenly appeared at the door.

"Nanyuefang" is the most important market town in the southern part of Yue State. Jiuyuan Sect also attaches great importance to the protection of this place. Not only is there a foundation-building cultivator at the door, but there is also a second-level low-grade puppet beast to assist in the defense.

The monks of the law enforcement team gave a loud reminder, and several Qi Condensation monks who were still guarding the door immediately controlled a second-level low-grade rhinoceros puppet beast to block in front of the formation.

However, although he gave the order in a timely manner, the force guarding the door was still too weak compared to the monks who came to attack the center of the formation.

Among the dozen people who came to attack the market, there were four or five people who were above the foundation-building level. Facing a second-level low-grade puppet, they simply did not take it seriously. Not long after, with a loud bang, the large formation guarding the entrance to the market disappeared in front of everyone.

After breaking the formation, those people did not get too entangled with the law enforcement team at the door. They quickly rushed into the market and merged into the crowd coming and going on the streets of the market.

"Shit! These people are demon cultivators. Quickly activate the mountain protection formation to seal off the market town. Send a message to Master Liu. We must find these demon cultivators."

After the demon cultivators who attacked them rushed into the market town, the foundation-building cultivator in the law enforcement team immediately turned pale and ordered the surrounding cultivators to fully activate the "Mountain Protection Array" to block the entrance to the market town.

Then he took out a sound transmission talisman and urgently informed a Jindan elder of the "Jiuyuan Sect" who was in seclusion in the back mountains about what had just happened at the door.

"Everyone hurry up and chase them, those demon cultivators are hiding in the market ahead.

The elders have ordered that we must not let them escape and we must avenge our fellow disciples who died!"

Just as the monks of the "Nanyuefang" law enforcement team were acting quickly, they suddenly saw hundreds of unfamiliar monks appear in the distance, shouting and chasing towards the market quickly.

Seeing this somewhat strange scene, the foundation-building cultivator who was guarding the entrance to the market town immediately led his men to block the entrance to the market town and stopped the many "Xiaoyao Sect" cultivators who were chasing after them.

"This place belongs to my Jiuyuan Sect. What are you people from Xiaoyao Sect doing here?"

"What for? Of course we are here to encircle and suppress the demon cultivators."

“A few days ago, this group of demon cultivators raided the Cuihu Island Market and killed more than a dozen of our sect’s disciples and hundreds of mortals. Our sect tracked them for more than half a month and only today discovered that they had been hiding here the whole time.

You are blocking here, are you intending to protect these demon cultivators?"

Facing the questioning from the cultivator from the Jiuyuan Sect, an older foundation-building cultivator from the Xiaoyao Sect immediately stepped forward and asked a question in return.

Hearing the other party mention the devil cultivator, the Jiuyuan Sect's foundation-building cultivator's face suddenly changed, and he shook his head and said, "What devil cultivator? I don't understand what you fellow Taoists mean.

This is the market town under the jurisdiction of our sect, how could there be a demon cultivator here? Have you come to the wrong place? "

“Humph! So many eyes saw them entering the market, and you dare to lie in broad daylight.

Since you are so stubborn, let us all see if there are any demon cultivators here."

After the cultivator from the "Xiaoyao Sect" angrily scolded the other party, a magical instrument called a bowl appeared in his hand with a flash of spiritual light. He then cast a spell directly to illuminate the surroundings, and soon collected a wisp of demonic energy that had not yet disappeared at the entrance of the market.

Seeing this scene, even if the Jiuyuan Sect's foundation-building cultivator was dumb, he knew that the other party had come prepared this time. He signaled the cultivator beside him to report the news, and then he gritted his teeth and said:
"Just based on this trace of demonic energy at the door, it doesn't prove that there are demon cultivators hiding in the market. I think you fellow Taoists should wait here first, and let me go and check it out.

If there really are demon cultivators, we will definitely find them out and hand them over to you, which will be considered as giving you an explanation."

After hearing the explanation from the Jiuyuan Sect cultivator, the old man from the Xiaoyao Sect who was in the foundation building stage immediately said with an unhappy look on his face:

"Haha! Your Excellency really has a good plan. Once you slowly catch them, I'm afraid we won't even be able to find the trace of the demon cultivators by then.

These demon cultivators have killed so many of our fellow disciples and have a deep blood feud with our sect. You are obstructing us by doing this. Could it be that you are colluding with these demon cultivators and deliberately instigating them?"

Seeing that the people from the Xiaoyao Sect had tied their side to the demon cultivators in just a few words, the cultivator from the Jiuyuan Sect immediately became furious and said:

"Which eye of yours saw us colluding with the demon cultivators? I think your pursuit of the demon cultivators is fake, and you came here to cause trouble on purpose!"

"Since you insist on covering up for these demon cultivators, don't blame us for being rude. Come on, everyone, tear down their nest."

".!"

The two sides had a disagreement and immediately started fighting.

Soon, the monks from the two sects started fighting at the door.

Seeing that the other side had more people and more power, the monks of the Jiuyuan Sect immediately fled into the market after leaving behind several corpses, and began to use the mountain protection formation to resist the enemy's attack.

As the fighting started here, it immediately alarmed the Jindan elder of the "Jiuyuan Sect" who was in seclusion on the mountain. With a flash of white light, an old man with yellow clothes and some graying hair appeared above the city wall.

Seeing the old man in yellow coming, the many "Jiuyuan Sect" monks who were guarding the market town immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who are you? How dare you attack my Nanyuefang?"

After stepping forward and casting a spell to repel several foundation-building monks of the "Xiaoyao Sect" who were attacking the market town, the old man in yellow immediately questioned the people below.

However, before he could figure out the whole story, he suddenly felt a danger coming from mid-air. Frightened, he instinctively stepped back, trying to escape back into the mountain protection formation behind him.

As the old man in yellow made a move, a sword light hidden in the air appeared in front of his eyes, and it rushed straight behind him with a very sharp momentum.

Seeing that the opponent was coming too fast, the old man in yellow gritted his teeth and threw out the most powerful talisman he had.

The talisman changed in mid-air and instantly turned into a shield blocking in front of him.

The old man in yellow is named Liu Jinhe.

Although this person is an elder of the "Jiuyuan Sect", he is actually not a true Jindan cultivator, but a fake elixir cultivator who succeeded in forming an elixir by using external elixir.

Due to the limitations of a fake elixir cultivator, Liu Jinhe has only reached the second level of the golden elixir after more than two hundred years of golden elixir formation. His fighting ability is still somewhat inferior to those who have just formed the golden elixir formation.

Precisely because Liu Jinhe himself is not strong, he was appointed by the sect to guard "Nanyuefang" all year round and rarely gets involved in the core affairs of the sect.

Even though he had been in the Dan stage for many years, Liu Jinhe's strongest means of defense was just a third-grade low-grade defensive talisman. Facing the sword that Song Qingyu had been preparing for a long time, it was completely vulnerable.

The shield formed by the talisman only blocked Song Qingyu for a moment before it was cut in half by the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword".

"ah!.."

Then, accompanied by a scream, one of Liu Jinhe's arms was cut off by Song Qingyu's fierce sword, and flew into the air along with the spurting blood.

Fortunately, the talisman just now gave Liu Jinhe some time to react, allowing him to dodge the fatal blow.

After paying the price of an arm, Liu Jinhe successfully escaped back to the "Mountain Protection Formation" in the market town.

Seeing that the other party still escaped with his life, Song Qingyu sighed slightly. Before she could react, several beams of light fell beside her. They were Li Wutong and others who arrived from the flying boat a step later.

"Attack the formation with all your strength and try to break it before their reinforcements arrive!"

Following Li Wutong's order in mid-air, numerous "Xiaoyao Sect" monks immediately began to cast spells to attack the "Nanyuefang" mountain protection formation, and bursts of fierce roars suddenly rang out over the entire market town.

Liu Jinhe, who had just saved his life, fled back to the mountain protection formation and immediately instructed the many cultivators beside him:
"Quick! Send a message to the sect, tell them that someone is attacking the market town, and ask them to send people over for support, quickly!"

In "Nanyuefang", apart from Liu Jinhe, the fake elixir cultivator, there were only eight foundation-building cultivators from the "Jiuyuan Sect" and several hundred Qi-refining disciples stationed there.

Even if we include those independent cultivators in the market town and cultivators from surrounding families, there are less than twenty foundation-building cultivators.

Among the cultivators from the "Xiaoyao Sect" who came from outside to attack the market town, there were more than a hundred cultivators at the foundation-building stage and above, as well as nearly a thousand carefully selected Qi-refining disciples.

In addition, six highly skilled Jindan cultivators, Song Qingyu, Song Qingming, Li Wutong, Fang Baixuan, Shen Tongzhou, and Yun Nishang, participated in the attack on the formation.

In the face of such a huge disparity in power, even if "Nanyuefang" was guarded by a third-grade intermediate mountain protection formation, it would be difficult to withstand the repeated sieges from the cultivators outside.

In just less than a quarter of an hour, the power of the mountain protection formation had been greatly weakened, and it was already in danger of not being able to hold out for long.

Seeing that the power of the "Fangshi Formation" in front of him had been weakened a lot, Li Wutong, who was attacking the formation, immediately threw a golden ball into the formation in front of him.

"Oh no! It's a level 3 array-breaking bead. Everyone, run!"

Seeing the "Formation Breaking Pearl" thrown by Li Wutong, Liu Jinhe, who was commanding the monks to defend the city, knew that he would not be able to wait for the sect's reinforcements to arrive.

Seeing this, Liu Jinhe decisively left behind the many low-level cultivators around him and headed straight for the teleportation array in the middle of the market town.

This teleportation array is a teleportation array in "Nanyuefang" that is directly connected to the Jiuyuan Sect's mountain gate not far away. As long as the teleportation array is successfully activated, Liu Jinhe will be able to quickly escape from here.

Facing the six highly skilled Jindan monks outside, Liu Jinhe would have no chance of survival if he chose to escape from the market town.

If he wants to survive, this is his only way out!
Just as Liu Jinhe entered the teleportation platform and was about to activate the only teleportation array in this market town to escape, a sword light suddenly flew in from the sky above his head.

It was Song Qingyu, who had just fought with Liu Jinhe, and he chased directly to the teleportation array where he was.
