Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Leading the way was a middle-aged man riding on a golden flying sword. He turned into a golden light and instantly arrived in front of the battlefield.

Under the control of the middle-aged man, the golden flying sword turned into several powerful golden sword rains, knocking away a leading third-grade inferior puppet beast in front.

"Golden Core Monk! The other side has reinforcements, retreat quickly."

Seeing this somewhat shocking scene, dozens of "Jiuyuan Sect" monks who had just rushed into the formation were so scared that they took a few steps back.

Not long after, the "Jiuyuan Sect" monks who had just rushed into the formation were directly beaten back under the fierce attack of the golden sword light.

"Master Chen and his men have come to support us. Let's drive the enemy out and repair the formation!"

Hundreds of "Xiaoyao Sect" monks who were struggling to defend the city were already feeling a little desperate when they saw their formation was broken by the enemy.

Unexpectedly, reinforcements from the sect's rear arrived in time and gradually helped them stabilize the situation. Soon, the "Xiaoyao Sect" used the spirit stones in their hands to restore most of the "Fangshi Formation".

The only gap that was damaged by the enemy's "Array-Breaking Bead" was as stable as a rock because it was guarded by Chen Xuanxin, a peak Jindan cultivator. No enemy cultivator could break into the formation from here.

In this way, the battle lasted from day to night, and both sides stopped fighting again and retreated to their own monastic settlements.

The group, who had fought with the Jindan cultivators of the Jiuyuan Sect for two days in the sky, had just returned to the top of the city wall when they saw Chen Xuanxin walking towards them with a serious face.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers and sisters!"

"Junior Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to come. Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise we would have a hard time withstanding the opponent's counterattack today. Nanyuefang will change hands again.

Now that the Jiuyuan Sect has more and more people, I am afraid there will be another bloody battle tomorrow. I don’t know if we can successfully defend this place next time.”

When the Xiaoyao Sect attacked "Nanyuefang" before, they did not choose to bring too many people because they were afraid that the news would leak out in advance. They only selected thousands of more elite cultivators in the sect.

After successfully capturing "Nanyuefang", the "Xiaoyao Sect" in the rear received the news and immediately dispatched troops to the front line for support.

It’s just that because “Nanyuefang” is located far away in the territory of Yue State, the reinforcements led by Chen Xuanxin arrived a little later than those of “Jiuyuan Sect”.

Hearing the worry in Li Wutong's tone, Chen Xuanxin immediately responded to him: "Don't worry, fellow disciples, the few people I brought are just the vanguard.

There are more than a thousand people brought by Senior Brother Jin and Junior Brother Zhang behind them. It is estimated that they will arrive in half a day at most.

We also brought a few level 3 Feiyun crossbows this time to strengthen the defense of the market. It will not be easy for Jiuyuan Sect to capture this place."

"Haha! Senior Brother Jin and Senior Brother Zhang are here too, and with the help of the Level 3 Feiyun Crossbow, we will definitely be able to hold this place.

Damn it, I've been so frustrated with the fights I've had these past two days. Tomorrow we'll let the people of Jiuyuan Sect know how powerful we are!"

Shen Tongzhou was besieged by two Jindan cultivators from the Jiuyuan Sect these two days. Although he managed to hold on, he suffered a lot of injuries. There was even a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth when he spoke.

Hearing that reinforcements from the sect in the rear had arrived, Shen Tongzhou suddenly became excited and vowed to vent the anger that had been pent up in his heart for the past few days.

Song Qingming and others standing nearby, like Shen Tongzhou, also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Chen Xuanxin said.

Now that the sect’s reinforcements have arrived, their confidence in defending “Nanyuefang” has increased a lot.

Although the overall number of cultivators on the "Xiaoyao Sect" side is still less than that of the other side, with the addition of Chen Xuanxin and others who came to support, Song Qingming and others still have the advantage in Jindan combat power.

As long as they can hold the "mountain protection formation" in the market town and gain a foothold, and wait for the reinforcements and supplies from the sects in the rear to slowly arrive, the "Xiaoyao Sect" will be able to completely take over this market town.

Just when everyone from the "Xiaoyao Sect" in the market town was happily welcoming Chen Xuanxin and other reinforcements, on a high mountain about ten miles north of the market town, Yue Wuji and other monks from the "Jiuyuan Sect" did not look so good at the moment.

In the previous two days of fighting, they had already gained the upper hand and were about to recapture "Nanyuefang". However, they did not expect that at the critical moment Chen Xuanxin led his men to attack and drove them out of Nanyuefang.

Everyone watched victory so nearly come to them, only to have it slip away from them. They all felt extremely disappointed.

In order to boost his own already somewhat frustrated morale, Yue Wuji, the head of the Jiuyuan Sect, could only force a smile and say to everyone:
“Although we didn’t do our best in today’s battle, we still have several times more people than the enemy. We still have the advantage, so don’t be so discouraged.

I have received news that Junior Sister Ma has come out of retreat and successfully advanced to the late Jindan stage. She will be able to lead the sect's reinforcements here tomorrow."

"Oh! Junior Sister Ma actually managed to break through during her retreat this time. This is really a great thing.

In this case, even if the other side has an extra Chen Xuanxin, we are not without any chance of winning. As long as everyone works together, we will be able to capture Nanyuefang in one fell swoop tomorrow!"

Upon hearing that reinforcements were arriving soon, the faces of the people from the Jiuyuan Sect, who had originally looked a little depressed, suddenly showed a bit of joy.

Seeing this, Yue Wuji also took advantage of the situation and said, "Xiaoyao Sect is now stronger than us, and a long battle will be disadvantageous to the sect.

I have decided to use the Wind Spirit Sword Formation tomorrow to capture the market town in one fell swoop!
Now that the foreign enemies have reached our doorstep, we have no way to retreat. We hope that you can work with the sect to overcome the difficulties together."

"We are willing to be loyal to the sect!"

Hearing the excited voices of everyone present, Yue Wuji's face suddenly showed a little more smile, and he felt more confident about tomorrow's battle.

When everyone had left, Yue Wuji secretly sent a message to Linghu Jie who was standing nearby, leaving him alone.

"Junior Brother Linghu, before this expedition, the Grand Elder left me a fourth-level spiritual talisman and asked me to keep it for use at a critical moment.

Tomorrow I plan to take action against Chen Xuanxin and see if there is a chance to use my trump card to kill this man.

"Junior Sister Ma will be here tomorrow to help contain Li Wutong, and I'll leave Song Qingming to you to help deal with. What do you think?"

In the battle in the previous two days, Song Qingming faced Yue Wuji, a veteran Jindan peak-level cultivator who had once reached the Nascent Soul stage. The two fought back and forth and were evenly matched. The strength they displayed was far beyond that of an average Jindan late-stage cultivator.

Although Linghu Jie has reached the eighth level of Golden Core cultivation, his magic weapons and supernatural powers are far inferior to those of the sect leader Yue Wuji.

In the past two days, when fighting with Li Wutong, who had the same level of cultivation, Linghu Jie was still somewhat inferior to the opponent and could only barely restrain his opponent.

Hearing Yue Wuji asking him to deal with Song Qingming, Linghu Jie, who had always been cautious, thought for a moment and immediately said with an embarrassed look:
“Master, you have also witnessed Song Qingming’s level of magical power. His cultivation speed is so fast that it is no worse than Chen Xuanxin. I am afraid that he will be a master who has great hope of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm in the future.

It's not that I'm afraid of him, but I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to completely control him by myself. What if I lose to him and cause trouble for you? What should I do? "

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. I still have a Level 3 Puppet Beast that I brought from the sect and haven't used it yet. I will give it to you to command tomorrow.

Junior Brother Lu will also come with Junior Sister Ma tomorrow. I will arrange for him to help you contain the other party.

With their help, Junior Brother will have two more helpers. I think he can almost hold Song Qingming back.

Now that the sect is in trouble, we have all been protected by the sect for many years. I hope that you can stand up for the sect and stop the people from Xiaoyao Sect tomorrow."

"Master, rest assured. Song Qingming will be handed over to Junior Brother Lu and me. I will definitely not let you and the sect down!"

After some discussion, seeing that Linghu Jie finally agreed, Yue Wuji smiled a little more.

The next day, early morning!
The winter morning sun had not yet completely dispelled the fog on the battlefield, and in the sky above the north of "Nanyuefang", four large flying boats dozens of feet long were rapidly approaching the direction of the market.

"attack!"

As the horn heralding the battle sounded above the flying boat, countless monks from the Jiuyuan Sect swarmed towards the distant market like ants.

"Set up the formation and meet the enemy!"

When the enemy was about to approach the front of the market town, a purple light instantly enveloped the entire market town, and then thousands of people in uniform clothes rushed out from the purple light, and the two sides were engaged in a fight in less than a moment.

After the many Qi-refining and foundation-building monks below started fighting, more than a dozen rays of light of different colors flew out from both sides at the back of the battlefield.

A moment later, in the sky above the battlefield, more than a dozen Jindan monks holding magic weapons suddenly appeared and stood on both sides.

“Li Wutong, you invaded our territory without any reason and massacred our Jiuyuan Sect cultivators. This is a blatant betrayal of our alliance in the Floating Cloud Mountains to fight the enemy together. The major sects will definitely investigate this matter in the future.

I advise you to evacuate Nanyuefang as soon as possible and hand over the murderer who killed Junior Brother Liu to our sect.

Otherwise, when our sect takes back the market, we will never let you go!" "Master Yue, you haven't forgotten all the dirty things that Jiuyuan Sect did in the past!

The remnants of the Ma family are right here. If you are willing to hand Ma Qiudie over to our Xiaoyao Sect for disposal, perhaps we can consider talking to you.

If you don't want to, don't blame us for not giving you a chance!"

When Ma Qiudie, who was standing in mid-air, heard Li Wutong mention the Ma family rebellion in "Iron Immortal Castle" that year, an ugly look suddenly appeared on her face.

Ma Qiudie is also a cultivator who reached the Golden Core stage at about the same time as Song Qingming, and now his cultivation has broken through to the seventh level of the Golden Core stage.

Although her cultivation speed is not as fast as Song Qingming's, it is still faster than most of the cultivators present. Now she has officially become a disciple of the sect's supreme elder Wu Jiuyuan and has become one of the core cultivators of the "Jiuyuan Sect".

Facing the unreasonable request made by Li Wutong, Yue Wuji naturally would not agree to it, and he directly opened his mouth and scolded:
"Humph! You guys want to get beauty and want us to hand over our people. Do you really think that my Jiuyuan Sect is made of clay?"

"If you yourself are unwilling to hand over the person, why bother talking so much? In the world of cultivation, problems cannot be solved with words alone.

If you want to take the market back from us, then you, the Jiuyuan Sect, have to show your abilities!"

As Li Wutong took the initiative to show his own life-saving magic weapon, the two sides immediately started fighting after a disagreement, and both the number of people and the scale of the battle were much larger than the previous two days.

Compared with the battles of the previous two days, the "Xiaoyao Sect" received support from Chen Xuanxin, a peak Jindan master, and the "Jiuyuan Sect" also had Ma Qiudie and another Jindan cultivator with a lower cultivation level named Lu who had just formed a Jindan not long ago.

This time, Yue Wuji directly faced Chen Xuanxin, who had the highest cultivation level among all the people in the "Xiaoyao Sect", while Li Wutong fought with Ma Qiudie, who had just broken through the seventh level of the Golden Core.

Song Qingming's opponents also changed to Linghu Jie and a Jindan cultivator named Lu who was only at the first level of Jindan.

Right from the start, Linghu Jie took the initiative and directly threw out a third-grade low-grade puppet beast in the shape of a black eagle. He then controlled the puppet beast in front of him and formed a small "Three Talents Formation" together with his fellow Jindan disciple named Lu.

This "Three Talents Formation" that can gather the power of many people and use it in one place does not have high requirements for the user. As long as the formation level reaches the top level, it can be used easily by a formation master.

However, the power of the formation was far inferior to that of a high-level formation. With the support of the two people behind him, the pressure on Linghu Jie in front of him could only barely increase to the ninth level of the Golden Core, which increased his combat power by about 20%.

Seeing Linghu Jie and the other two rushing towards him, Song Qingming was not in a hurry. He directly summoned out his life-saving magic weapon, the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", which turned into a golden shield to block himself.

The third-grade top-grade flying sword magic weapon in Linghu Jie's hand could not break through the defense in front of Song Qingming when it encountered the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror" blessed by the Qingyu Refining Treasure Technique. Instead, it was forced back by the spiritual light emitted from it.

Seeing that he was unable to withstand the attack, Linghu Jie immediately switched from offense to defense and directly activated a magical bronze bell to block in front of him.

This magic weapon is also the most proud defensive magic weapon of Linghu Jie. With the magic power of the two people behind him, the bronze bell immediately became several times larger and blocked the five-colored golden light from the opposite side.

But just as he blocked the attack of the "Five Elements Divine Light Mirror", a man in a black robe came over from the other side with a big axe, and chopped the bronze bell directly with the axe, pushing Linghu Jie and others back several steps.

"Golden Core Corpse Puppet! I never saw him use it before, and I thought he didn't bring it with him. It turns out he has a backup plan."

Seeing the "Golden Wind" suddenly attacking him, Linghu Jie immediately recognized it as a golden elixir "corpse puppet" that followed Song Qingming.

Song Qingming had used this thing when he participated in the "Iron Immortal Castle" battle. Linghu Jie naturally knew that Song Qingming had a golden elixir "corpse puppet" on his body.

However, the cultivation level of "Golden Wind" back then was only the first level of Golden Core, but now it has been upgraded to the fifth level of Golden Core by Song Qingming, which was somewhat beyond Linghu Jie's expectations.

No one knew what special means Song Qingming had found to raise the cultivation of "Golden Wind" to the fifth level of Golden Core so quickly.

Not only was Linghu Jie unable to figure this out, but even many people in the Xiaoyao Sect were curious about how Song Qingming managed to do this.

Later, Xu Ziyan, who was very interested in this, took the initiative to ask Song Qingming about this matter, and learned that he was able to improve the speed of practicing "Golden Wind" after getting Li Xuanyi's help to find the "Flame Spirit Water".

Because this method is really harsh and requires finding a rare spiritual object called "Flame Spirit Water" to cleanse the corpse puppet's body, everyone gradually lost interest after inquiring about it.

Faced with the joint urgency of Song Qingming and "Golden Wind" at this moment, Linghu Jie and others also felt a lot of pressure, and could only rely on the bronze bell magic weapon in front of them to hold back Song Qingming.

The situation on the other side was not much different from before, except that Li Wutong was more relaxed in dealing with Ma Qiudie, none of them gained much advantage over the other side.

While the high-level cultivators above were fighting desperately, in front of the market formation below, the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining disciples of both sides were also fighting fiercely.

The Xiaoyao Sect, with the support of the "Mountain Protection Array", was at a disadvantage because they had fewer people than the enemy and could only defend passively. However, with the help of the "Mountain Protection Array", they were not defeated by the enemy for a while.

Just as the monks of both sides on the battlefield began to enter a stalemate, dozens of "Jiuyuan Sect" monks hiding on a large flying boat suddenly formed a formation and turned into a huge flying sword dozens of feet long and rushed into the battlefield.

These dozens of "Jiuyuan Sect" cultivators all have foundation-building cultivation. The "Wind Spirit Sword Formation" they formed is also a major killer move prepared by the "Jiuyuan Sect". Its power when in operation is no less than that of ordinary late Jindan cultivators.

As soon as the Jiuyuan Sect's "Wind Spirit Sword Formation" entered the battlefield, it killed more than a dozen "Xiaoyao Sect" monks nearby in just a moment, and the golden sword head went straight into the "Mountain Protection Formation" behind it.

The "Nanyuefang" mountain protection formation had already been damaged in yesterday's attack and has not yet been fully repaired. Now only half of its power is left and it is somewhat unable to withstand an attack like the "Wind Spirit Sword Formation".

With just one blow, the entire market town's "mountain protection formation" began to shake and became a little dimmer!

Just as the opponent's killing move was about to break through the formation, two beams of light suddenly flew out from the market, released magic weapons to block the front, and stopped the enemy's "Wind Spirit Sword Formation".

The two beams of light belonged to Jin Ziyuan and Zhang Tieyang who had just arrived at the market to provide support not long ago.

Because the other party didn't know that Jin Ziyuan and the other two were coming to support them, they originally planned to hide in the market town and launch a surprise attack on other Jindan cultivators of the Jiuyuan Sect.

Unexpectedly, the opponent also hid a deadly move called "Wind Spirit Sword Formation".

If Jin Ziyuan and the other two had not appeared in time to block the opponent's attack, once the Jiuyuan Sect broke through the "Mountain Protection Formation" of the market town, the "Xiaoyao Sect" with a numerical disadvantage would definitely find it difficult to defend the market town.

After the attack was blocked by Jin Ziyuan, the Jiuyuan Sect cultivator did not lose heart and controlled the "Wind Spirit Sword Formation" to continue attacking. Soon, he and Jin Ziyuan were entangled in a fight.

This "Wind Spirit Sword Formation" composed of dozens of foundation-building monks is an extremely powerful trump card of the "Jiuyuan Sect". It is equivalent to the strength of a late Jindan monk like Li Wutong.

The fighting abilities of both Jin Ziyuan and Zhang Tieyang were relatively average. Facing the "Wind Spirit Sword Formation", they not only failed to gain the upper hand, but were actually at a disadvantage. For a moment, they looked somewhat unsightly.

Song Qingming and others who were floating above were a little anxious when they saw Jin Ziyuan and others gradually falling into a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Song Qingming, who still had strength left, cast a spell again and released hundreds of golden spirit insects, commanding these "Golden Fantasy Butterflies" to go and help, which helped Jin Ziyuan and the others stabilize their position.
-
Just as the fierce battle in "Nanyuefang" was raging, high in the sky to the north of the market, two people standing in the air were looking at each other face to face, with murderous intent in their eyes.

"Li Mufeng, stop trying to evade me with your talk about hunting down the demon cultivators. We both know that your Xiaoyao Sect is here for Nanyuefang.

Our Floating Cloud Mountain Hundred Sect Alliance was established only 20 years ago, and you have betrayed us and started a war with our Jiuyuan Sect. Aren't you afraid that both of us will suffer losses in the end, and the demons will take advantage of us in the future?"

"Haha! Brother Wu, you are joking. Our sect came to Yue Kingdom only to eliminate the demon cultivators. It is clearly your Jiuyuan Sect that is attacking our cultivators. We did not initiate the war.

Our sect is not one that likes to interfere in the affairs of other sects, and it is even more impossible for us to disregard the ethics of human cultivators and collude with the demon clan.

Besides, there are so many eyes watching us, how can you just say nonsense? Brother Wu, please take back what you said!"

Faced with Wu Jiuyuan's questioning, Li Mufeng blocked it with a few words, and then looked at the other party calmly.

Seeing the sarcasm in the other party's words, which clearly showed that they would never admit the fact that the "Xiaoyao Sect" took the initiative to tear up the alliance and invade the Kingdom of Yue, Wu Jiuyuan's face began to tremble with anger.

However, as a Nascent Soul cultivator who had practiced for many years, Wu Jiuyuan quickly suppressed his anger. After carefully glancing around him, he sternly asked Li Mufeng:
"You are blocking my way here. Could it be that you have arranged for Bai Yuxian to go to Nanyuefang?"

Li Mufeng heard this and shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. As Yuanying cultivators, how can we directly interfere in the affairs of the Jindan cultivators below? Anyway, I know this rule, so there is no need for Brother Wu to remind me."

Because the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator is so overwhelming that a random strike can kill hundreds or even thousands of low-level cultivators below, when the two sects in the Floating Cloud Mountains' immortal cultivation world are fighting, the Nascent Soul cultivators generally will not give up easily.

This is also a rule that both sides agree on in the internal struggles among human cultivators.

Otherwise, if the Nascent Soul cultivator disobeys the rules and attacks at will, the result is likely to be a lose-lose situation, causing a tragic scene that neither side wants to see.

In response to Wu Jiuyuan's question, Li Mufeng did not want to hide it from him and directly told him the answer he wanted.

After hearing Li Mufeng's reply, Wu Jiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded:
"Since you know the rules, then we will both rely on our own abilities!" (End of this chapter)
