Qinghe Immortal Clan.

An hour later, above "Nanyuefang".

Up to now, in this great battle, except for the many Jindan cultivators in the sky, many low-level cultivators in the foundation-building and Qi-refining stages on both sides have been killed or injured, and there are hundreds of corpses of cultivators who have lost their breath on the battlefield.

In mid-air, Linghu Jie and the Jindan cultivator surnamed Gu, who were fighting with Song Qingming, were now facing the fierce attack of Song Qingming and the "Golden Wind". They could only passively defend and were unable to hold on.

"Boom!" After a loud bang, the golden bronze bell in front of Linghu Jie suddenly showed a crack under Song Qingming's repeated attacks, and then the protective shield transformed by the bronze bell immediately shattered in front of him.

Seeing that his strongest defensive magic weapon was broken by Song Qingming's attack, Linghu Jie was also surprised. He could only take out a defensive talisman and cast a spell to block in front of him, and only then could he barely block the giant axe in "Golden Wind"'s hand.

Then, without waiting for Song Qingming's next attack, Linghu Jie immediately dodged to the side and hurriedly cast a spell to urge the black eagle puppet beast behind him to move forward to resist the opponent.

Under the powerful attack of Song Qingming's "Golden Treasure Halo", as expected, this third-level inferior puppet beast only resisted for a moment before being directly destroyed by Song Qingming on the spot.

Then it turned back into a palm-sized black wooden block and fell directly from the sky.

The third-grade inferior puppet beast behind him was destroyed by Song Qingming's attack. The "Three Talents Formation" cast by Linghu Jie and the Jindan cultivator surnamed Lu immediately lost its effect, and they were forced to deal with the attacks of Song Qingming and "Golden Wind" alone.
Whether it is Linghu Jie or the cultivator surnamed Lu, without the support of the "Three Talents Formation", their fighting strength is obviously no match for Song Qingming and "Golden Wind".

After only fighting for dozens of rounds, the two felt that they could not hold on any longer and began to send messages to the surroundings for help.

"Senior Brother Linghu, save me!"

Hearing the Jindan cultivator named Lu beside him asking for help, Linghu Jie, who was forced to retreat again and again by Song Qingming, ignored the other party and could only send a message to the sect leader Yue Wuji who was not far away.

"Master, I can't hold on any longer. Please make up your mind quickly!"

Not long after Linghu Jie finished speaking, the Jindan cultivator named Lu was blown away by an axe from the "Golden Wind" controlled by Song Qingming. He could hardly stand steadily, and after a scream, he almost fell from the air.

Seeing that Linghu Jie and the other man were unable to hold on, and that the many "Jiuyuan Sect" monks on the battlefield below were also unable to make any progress, Yue Wuji, the leader of the "Jiuyuan Sect", became a little anxious.

After a moment, Yue Wuji's eyes showed a bit more determination. After blocking Chen Xuanxin's attack with the magic weapon in his hand, he directly shook off the opponent and moved towards Linghu Jie and the others.

"Your opponent is me, where are you going!"

Seeing that the other party wanted to interfere in other people's fights while fighting with him, Chen Xuanxin showed a trace of displeasure on his face, and controlled the flying sword magic weapon in his hand to chase after the other party.

The flying sword in Chen Xuanxin's hand had just caught up with him. After Yue Wuji turned around, he did not choose to use his magical powers to resist the danger that was so close. Instead, he took out a golden talisman and cast a spell to turn it into a sharp sword and threw it at Chen Xuanxin in mid-air.

"This is a level 4 spiritual talisman!"

The golden talisman that Yue Wuji took out was a fourth-level low-grade talisman given to him as a trump card by Wu Jiuyuan, the supreme elder of the Jiuyuan Sect. Its power even exceeded that of ordinary magic weapons of the same level.

Just as it appeared, the powerful aura emanating from the golden talisman had already attracted the attention of many cultivators in the surrounding area, and they all showed a hint of surprise.

In this Jindan-level battlefield, spiritual objects above level four are extremely rare. Although Chen Xuanxin was prepared, he did not expect that the other party would suddenly take out such a powerful level four spiritual talisman.

At this critical moment, Chen Xuanxin could only use all his strength to activate his natal flying sword to block in front of himself, and it instantly collided with the talisman released by the opponent.

The power of this attack was extremely huge. The aftermath from the middle alone was enough to cause several of the closest monks to retreat several feet away.

Chen Xuanxin, who was at the center of the battlefield, forcibly took the opponent's attack, but his natal flying sword was also knocked away, leaving several huge cracks.

Chen Xuanxin's natal magic weapon was severely damaged, and he was also in a bad condition. He was directly knocked away on the spot and spit out several mouthfuls of blood. It was obvious that he was seriously injured in the previous attack.

However, in order to launch this sudden attack, Yue Wuji was unable to completely avoid the sword that Chen Xuanxin had swung at him from behind, and three fingers of his right hand were cut off by the opponent's sword.

His hands were bleeding profusely, so he quickly swallowed a healing pill, which made his complexion look a little better.

Seeing that Chen Xuanxin was seriously injured by his attack not far away, he did not have time to refine the elixir in his body, and immediately controlled the magic weapon in his hand to kill Chen Xuanxin.

Seeing that the opponent was approaching again, Chen Xuanxin could only grit his teeth and control the flying sword to fight with him again.

However, Chen Xuanxin, whose strength was originally not weaker than that of the opponent, was obviously greatly affected after being severely hit by the opponent, and was forced to retreat repeatedly by Yue Wuji.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Xuanxin could only send a message to Song Qingming who was standing beside him for help.

Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately and decisively gave up suppressing his opponent, went to help Chen Xuanxin stop Yue Wuji, and replaced his original opponent Linghu Jie with him.

After Song Qingming and Chen Xuanxin swapped opponents, they were able to barely maintain the balance on the battlefield. They fought until it was getting dark, then they withdrew their troops.

This battle was much more intense in the first two days, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

The "Xiaoyao Sect" lost more than thirty foundation-building cultivators and more than two hundred Qi-refining cultivators.

As for the Jindan cultivators, Shen Tongzhou, Jin Ziyuan, Yun Nishang, and Song Qingyu were all injured in the battle, but the impact on them is not that great at the moment.

The one who was most seriously injured was Chen Xuanxin, the person with the highest cultivation level in the sect on the battlefield.

After suffering a sneak attack from Yue Wuji, Chen Xuanxin's injuries were quite serious. Even if he could go back to the battlefield after healing, he could only barely exert about half of his strength in his prime.

As for the "Jiuyuan Sect" on the opposite side, because they were the one that took the initiative to attack, although they had the advantage in numbers, they suffered more losses in low-level cultivators than the "Xiaoyao Sect".

Most of the Jindan cultivators from the Jiuyuan Sect, such as Yue Wuji and Linghu Jie, were also injured.

The most seriously injured one was the Jindan cultivator named Lu, whose own magic weapon was nearly destroyed on the spot by the "Golden Wind". In the end, he had no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield early.

Yue Wuji returned to the base, and after refining the healing elixir in his body, he immediately came out of seclusion and went to the tent where everyone was discussing matters.

"How is Junior Brother Lu's injury?"

Seeing that everyone present was present except for one person, Yue Wuji quickly asked Wang Ziheng, who was standing closest to him.

Seeing this, Wang Ziheng, who looked a little unhappy, could only bow and answer: "Junior Brother Lu's life magic weapon was broken, and his injuries are quite serious. He is still in seclusion to recuperate.

But Master, rest assured, although Junior Brother Lu’s injuries are serious, his life is not in danger. He will be able to recover slowly if he spends more time recuperating.

It’s just that Junior Brother Lu may not be able to participate in the battle tomorrow!"

“Junior Brother Lu has just formed his elixir not long ago. If it weren’t for the faction’s current shortage of manpower, I wouldn’t want to easily transfer him to the frontline battlefield.

But his injury this time was so serious that his future career might be affected. I can only find a way to compensate him in the future.

It's a pity that I failed to successfully kill Chen Xuanxin today when I used the talisman given by Uncle Wu. Otherwise, we would definitely be able to defeat Xiaoyao Sect and take back Nanyuefang in this battle today."

After Yue Wuji finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a slight sigh.

Linghu Jie, who still had a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, took the initiative to ask, "Master, now that Junior Brother Lu is injured, we are no longer at an advantage on the battlefield.

Should we continue to attack the market tomorrow, or wait for reinforcements to arrive before making any plans?"

Hearing Linghu Jie's question, Yue Wuji quickly replied: "Humph! We don't have an advantage, and the other side is also having a hard time after these few days of fighting.

Although Chen Xuanxin managed to save his life today, his injuries were not much less serious than Junior Brother Lu's. I'm afraid that like Junior Brother Lu, he can no longer attack at will.

No matter what, we will continue to attack the city tomorrow. This is our last chance to take back the city.

Xiaoyao Sect has developed so fast in recent years, and its strength is far beyond what it used to be. If we wait for them to gain a foothold in Nanyuefang, I am afraid that our Jiuyuan Sect will no longer have a place to settle down in the future."

More than a hundred years ago, during the battle of "Iron Immortal Castle", the difference in strength between the "Jiuyuan Sect" and the "Xiaoyao Sect" was not that big, and the two sides barely managed a draw in that battle.

In the end, the "Jiuyuan Sect" successfully withdrew to the Kingdom of Yue with some Ma family monks.

Unexpectedly, after only a hundred years, not only did Bai Yuxian successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but the strength of late-stage Jindan cultivators such as Song Qingming and Chen Xuanxin was also much stronger than the "Xiaoyao Sect" back then.

The "Jiuyuan Sect" on the battlefield today can still rely on the large number of low-level cultivators to gain some advantages. If they cannot win the battle quickly, and wait until reinforcements from the "Xiaoyao Sect" arrive, they will have no chance of winning this battle.

Just as Yue Wuji thought, the people in the Xiaoyao Sect were suffering from heavy casualties among the low-level cultivators, and it was indeed a difficult time for them.

Knowing that they were already at a disadvantage, the Xiaoyao Sect could only hurry up and install the high-level "Flying Cloud Crossbows" they brought on the city wall in the night, preparing for the battle the next day. In addition to Chen Xuanxin who was seriously injured, Song Qingyu also suffered some minor injuries in the daytime battle.

Although he knew that it would not have much impact on her, Song Qingming still felt a little worried and gave her two more level 3 defensive talismans he drew for self-defense.

On a battlefield where so many Jindan cultivators were fighting, Song Qingming simply couldn't spare much energy to take care of others. He could only patiently give Song Qingyu a few more instructions.

The next morning, as the horn that shook the battlefield sounded, the two sides began fighting again on the battlefield.

This time, like the battles of the previous few days, although the fighting was very fierce, there was still no clear outcome. The only result was that hundreds of more monks' bodies were added to the battlefield.

Although they paid a considerable price, the members of the "Xiaoyao Sect" still managed to hold on with their own strength and did not let the enemy break through the "Nanyuefang" they were guarding.

The fighting went on like this for another five or six days, and both sides lost a lot of cultivators. Even Jindan cultivators began to fall on the battlefield.

Finally, the "Jiuyuan Sect", which suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, could no longer hold on and took the initiative to withdraw its troops northward to the interior of Vietnam for rest and recuperation.

After learning that the enemy had withdrawn, the members of the "Xiaoyao Sect" who had managed to hold on with great difficulty breathed a sigh of relief. They hurriedly strengthened the market formation in preparation for battle while transporting supplies and reinforcements to the front line.

In the previous more than ten days of continuous fighting, the "Xiaoyao Sect" not only lost thousands of low-level cultivators, but even Jin Ziyuan, the sect's golden elixir elder, unfortunately died on the battlefield.

Although the losses of the Jiuyuan Sect were greater than those of the Xiaoyao Sect and it chose to retreat, its sect strength was not severely damaged.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will probably be an even more brutal war next.

Just when everyone was preparing for battle and ready to deal with the counterattack of the "Jiuyuan Sect" monks at any time, Bai Yuxian, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared in the "Nanyuefang" and brought everyone a somewhat unexpected news.

When the Jiuyuan Sect and Xiaoyao Sect were fighting, the northern demon tribe took advantage of the weakness of the Jiuyuan Sect's northern defenses and began to gather southward on a large scale. They had already captured several small towns in the north of Yue State.

Now, most of the forces of the Jiuyuan Sect have been mobilized to the north to deal with the northern demon tribe heading south.

Upon hearing the good news, some monks of the Xiaoyao Sect began to clamor for revenge for Jin Ziyuan and others who died on the battlefield, and continued to advance northward into the heartland of the Yue State while the Jiuyuan Sect was weak.

However, after hearing this, Bai Yuxian immediately shook her head and stopped everyone.

“I know what everyone is thinking, but this time the northern monsters are not just invading Yue State. I have received news that Jinyu Mountain has begun to gather a large army to march south, and many monsters have appeared outside Baiyun Valley.

If the Jinyu Mountain demon tribe moves south on a large scale, it will definitely not be enough for Feng Ping and a few others to be stationed in the north of the sect. I'm afraid we will have to withdraw forces to help at any time.

Moreover, the Wanling Sect has already intervened to mediate the matter. I estimate that it won’t be long before Senior Brother Li reaches an agreement with the Jiuyuan Sect. At this time, it is not appropriate for us to go deeper into the territory of Yue State.”

The fight between the "Xiaoyao Sect" and the "Jiuyuan Sect" was, after all, a conflict within the human race.

When encountering a common enemy, the Northern Demon Clan, no matter how big the grudge between the two sides is, they must consider temporarily putting aside the common enemy. Otherwise, if the fight between the two clans allows the Demon Clan to gain the upper hand, then the loss will outweigh the gain.

Even if a hostile sect invades the territory, it will only be a fight between cultivators, and generally will not involve the mortals under its rule.

Once the demons take advantage of an opportunity, all the people and animals will be wiped out wherever they pass through. The loss will be too great for any sect to bear.

Hearing that the sect was already considering negotiating a peace agreement with the Jiuyuan Sect, although everyone was unhappy, they did not dare to say anything more and nodded in agreement.

What happened next was just as Bai Yuxian had said.

Half a month later, the "Jiuyuan Sect", which had already felt the pressure from the northern demon tribe, chose to make peace with the "Xiaoyao Sect" and gave up the idea of ​​going south to retake the "Nanyuefang". It concentrated its main forces back to the north of Yue State to deal with the demon tribe going south.

Compared with the "Nanyuefang" in the south, the territories in the north of Yue State that were just recaptured from the demon clan are much larger and naturally more important to the "Jiuyuan Sect". They will not easily return them to the demon clan.

The "Xiaoyao Sect" also decided to stop while it was ahead. After the "Wanling Sect" took the initiative to mediate, they agreed to temporarily cease hostilities and make peace with the other party and not continue to invade other parts of the Yue Kingdom to the north.

The territory of thousands of miles to the southeast of "Nanyuefang" has since been under the control of the "Xiaoyao Sect", which means that the Wei State has gained another county territory.

In addition, the spirit stone veins and other mineral spirit vein resources around "Nanyuefang" have all fallen into the hands of "Xiaoyao Sect".

At the request of the "Jiuyuan Sect", those immortal cultivation families and mortal cultivators who were originally affiliated with it and were unwilling to join the "Xiaoyao Sect" all moved away from the "Nanyuefang".

The "Xiaoyao Sect" had no objection to this. After all, most of these people had followed the "Jiuyuan Sect" for many years, and forcing them to stay might still be a hidden danger to the sect.

It would be better to let them leave on their own, then migrate monks and mortals from within the Wei Kingdom to slowly manage the "Nanyuefang".

In just a few decades, all the cultivators in "Nanyuefang" will become people of Weiguo, and this place will have nothing to do with "Jiuyuan Sect".

After the Yue State was invaded by the demon tribe, the "Jinyu Mountain" demon tribe in the north of the Wei State also began to stir after hearing the news.

Soon, at the signal of the "Black Dragon Demon King", "Golden Feather Mountain" assembled an army of thousands of monsters and marched south, trying to regain the territory they had previously lost.

Not only in the "Baiyun Valley" on the front line, but also in many adjacent markets, as well as near the "White Lion Market" to the north of the Song family, armies of monsters appeared and began to besiege the markets.

For a time, the entire northern part of Wei State was once again engulfed in war, with countless cultivators and monsters engaged in a bloody battle for territory.

After the two sects signed a ceasefire agreement, Song Qingming and others immediately hurried back to Wei State, and then rushed directly to the "Baiyun Valley" in the north to participate in the battle against the "Jinyu Mountain" demon tribe moving south.

The last time the sect went north to attack the demon tribe, "Golden Feather Mountain" lost most of its demon beasts and suffered heavy damage. Only twenty years have passed, and the strength of the northern demon tribe has not fully recovered.

Facing the all-out attack of the "Xiaoyao Sect", the strength of "Jinyu Mountain", whether it is the Jindan Demon King or the low-level monsters below, is still clearly at a disadvantage.

As soon as he saw Song Qingming and others appear on the battlefield one by one, the White Dragon Demon King, who was responsible for besieging "Baiyun Valley", immediately chose to retreat and led the demon army back to "Jinyu Mountain".

The battle of "Baiyun Valley" seemed a bit anticlimactic due to the decisive retreat of the demon clan. Although both sides seemed to be making a lot of noise, there was hardly any major conflict and the battle ended quickly.

The result was the same for the "White Lion Square" on the Song family's side. Under the guard of the Song family monks led by Huang Siyuan, after fighting with the invading army of the "Giant Elephant Demon King", the demon clan quickly chose to retreat.

Although both sides suffered some damage, there were no major casualties.

The northern part of Wei State, which had been turbulent, gradually calmed down after the demon tribe of "Jinyu Mountain" retreated across the board.

On the other hand, the war was much more intense on the side of the "Jiuyuan Sect" of the Yue State. The "Jiuyuan Sect" was slightly less prepared and was defeated by the demon army at one point, losing a large number of cultivators and mortals under their rule.

In the end, with the assistance of several surrounding small countries and the help of the "Wanling Sect", they were able to regain part of the territory occupied by the demon clan after paying a certain price and stabilize the northern front.

After two consecutive wars with the "Xiao Yao Sect" and the northern demon clan, the "Jiu Yuan Sect" of Yue State lost thousands of cultivators and several Jindan elders at once, and has been seriously damaged since then.

After this, the "Jiuyuan Sect" completely lost the strength to challenge the "Xiaoyao Sect" and could only defend its existing territory and barely maintain the dignity of a Nascent Soul Sect.

Although the losses of the "Xiaoyao Sect" in the "Nanyuefang" battle were smaller, more than a thousand cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages were killed, and even Jin Ziyuan, a sect elder in the middle stage of the Golden Core, died on the battlefield.

Although the "Xiaoyao Sect" has developed rapidly in recent years, the sect's strength has expanded dramatically after the Northern Expedition, and the number of monks in the sect has increased by 20 to 30 percent compared to a hundred years ago.

However, the loss of so many cultivators at one time also made the sect's two Nascent Soul ancestors, as well as Jindan elders such as Li Wutong, feel very distressed.

In addition, many cultivators in the "Xiaoyao Sect" were seriously injured on the battlefield, including Chen Xuanxin, who currently has the greatest hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the sect.

Chen Xuanxin, whose life magic weapon was damaged by the enemy's sneak attack, is estimated to need at least 10 to 20 years of seclusion before he can recover. This will indeed have a significant impact on him as he was supposed to be preparing to go into seclusion to condense his Nascent Soul.

Among the other Jindan cultivators who participated in the battle, Shen Tongzhou was also seriously injured.

However, compared to Chen Xuanxin, whose injuries were more serious, Shen Tongzhou's injuries were relatively better. He would be able to recover in five or six years at most, and it would not have such a big impact on his future path.

As for the remaining injured Song Qingyu and others, their injuries were not serious. As long as they found suitable spiritual objects for healing, they would be able to recover in one or two years.

Ever since the war began, Song Qingming has been worried about Song Qingyu's safety. Fortunately, although Song Qingyu was accidentally injured in the battle, he still managed to survive to the end.

Although this battle came at a great cost, it also demonstrated the dignity of the entire "Xiaoyao Sect", allowing other surrounding sects to witness the powerful strength of the "Xiaoyao Sect", and the entire Weiguo cultivators became famous because of it.

After this, many of the small countries around the country took the initiative to attach themselves to the "Xiaoyao Sect" of Wei State, which greatly increased the influence of the sect in the immortal cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountains. (End of this chapter)
