Chapter 118 Return to Huoyun Mountain
Following Lu Demiao and his party, they walked eastward for almost three days, and encountered several small-scale attacks by monsters along the way. Only then did Song Qingming return to Huoyun Mountain.
Seeing Song Qingming's safe return, everyone in the Song family who had returned to Huoyun Mountain a few days ago came forward to pay attention to what he had experienced these days. The old patriarch Song Gushan also felt relieved and showed a long-lost smile. .
After he escaped from Jinshanfang, he had been rushing for several days. It was not until he returned to Huoyun Mountain that Song Qingming gradually learned about a series of things that happened after the evacuation of Jinshanfang.
When evacuating from Jinshanfang that day, due to the rush, Huoyunshan lost many monks. In the end, less than 70% of the monks returned to Huoyunshan. Even the foundation-building monks died in the battle. Several people came.
Until now, there are still many monks who took a long way back to Huoyun Mountain after being dispersed by monsters like Song Qingming.
Lu Boyang, the golden elixir ancestor of the Xiaoyao Sect, also lost some vitality after a fight with two demon kings. After returning to Huoyun Mountain, he quickly returned to the Xiaoyao Sect for retreat to heal his injuries. Now he presides over it here at Huoyun Mountain. The person responsible for this front line defense matter was Chu Fengping, another Jindan elder of the Xiaoyao Sect who came to support.
After Jinshanfang was defeated again, the Xiaoyao Sect also began to pay attention to the line of defense in Pingyang County. In the past few days, many monks from nearby areas were dispatched to Huoyun Mountain for support. Chu Fengping also brought many Xiaoyao Sects. The master of foundation building inside the door.
This time the monster turmoil is close to Weiguo, there are four battlefields where the monster king is attacking. In addition to Guiyunfang and Huoyun Mountain, there are also Tuoyun Mountain and Tiexian Valley to the west of Guiyunfang.
However, the main battlefield is still at Guiyunfang. There are nine demon king armies attacking Guiyunfang, and the head of Xiaoyao Sect, Yao Qianshu, personally leads five golden elixir experts to sit here.
Although the demon beast side has the upper hand in terms of the number of demon kings, the Guiyunfang side has Yao Qianshu, the number one master of the Wei Kingdom's golden elixir at the ninth level of the golden elixir. After several battles, the demon beast side not only did not take advantage, but was also defeated by Yao Qianshu. Seizing the opportunity to kill a demon king, it was no longer possible to pose a threat to Guiyunfang.
Tuo Yun Mountain is the cave of Wei Guo Jin Dan cultivator Chen Jinliang. The monsters attacking there are relatively weak. There is only one Yunhe Demon King in the early stage of Jin Dan, which is far from Chen Jinliang's opponent. The army of monsters has not yet defeated Tuo Yun Mountain. Near Yunshan, Chen Jinliang had already repelled him, and even the Yunhe almost died in his hands.
Tiexian Valley is located in the northwest of Weiguo. It is led by the Ma family, a golden elixir family of Weiguo. The Ma family has been in charge of Tiexian Valley for five or six hundred years, and there is also an ancestor of Jindan in the family. Although they are considered a vassal family of Xiaoyao Sect, Xiaoyao Sect basically does not interfere in their affairs. Over the years, There has never been a recruitment order issued to them.
There were many monsters attacking Tiexian Valley, and there were three monster kings in total. However, the Ma family had always had a good relationship with Chen Jinliang from Tuoyunshan. After Chen Jinliang repelled the monsters from Tuoyunshan, he immediately led his men The disciples went to Iron Immortal Valley to support them, and the two sides temporarily fell into a stalemate in Iron Immortal Valley.
Among these four battlefields, except for Huoyun Mountain, the overall situation of the other three battlefields is considered to have been decided, and there will not be any major changes. On the Huoyun Mountain side, due to the fall of Jinshanfang, the monks suffered a lot of losses, including Lu Boyang. Jindan Zhenren was also injured. Jinshanfang's monster army still has a great advantage and may launch another attack at any time.
When the Huoyun Mountain monks evacuated Jinshanfang that day, the local monks in Pingyang County suffered the greatest losses. Many of them evacuated a little late because they were reluctant to part with the spiritual objects in Jinshanfang. Many monks were entangled by monsters and died. Being able to escape from Fang City, most of the monks from the three counties escaped safely because they received the order and retreated earlier.
The Song family's side was relatively fine. The old patriarch had practiced Taoism for a hundred years and was also a decisive person. After receiving the order to retreat, he decisively chose to evacuate immediately with the Huang family monks and did not wait for Song Qingming to join him in Fang City. This was a good thing. It was a bit unkind, but in the critical situation at that time, for the safety of most of the tribe, he could only make this difficult decision.
It has been less than a month since they came to Huoyun Mountain. After two battles, one of the fifteen people from the Song family who came down from Funiu Mountain has already been killed and four others were seriously injured. It can be seen that this war has a great impact on low-level monks. The cruelty of the beasts was far from over, and Song Qingming didn't know who among them could return to Funiu Mountain safely.
In order to make it easier to carry, the old patriarch has decided to cremate Uncle Eleven's body and wait until he returns to Funiu Mountain to take out his ashes for burial.
After the monster army captured Jinshanfang again, they quickly moved south again and now reached a plain less than twenty miles away from Huoyun Mountain.
After the Nine Pattern Jiao discovered that there were a large number of monks stationed here at Huoyun Mountain, this cunning demon king did not attack here rashly. Instead, he directly concentrated the main force of the demon beasts near Huoyun Mountain, and then continuously sent out his lower-level ones. The monsters began to attack other spiritual veins around Huoyun Mountain, trying to surround this place first.
Soon the entire northern part of Pingyang County basically fell into the hands of monsters. Many immortal cultivating families had no choice but to temporarily abandon their family spiritual lands and move to the south of Huoyun Mountain, sending most of the mortals in the family to the mountains and forests.
The main attack by the monsters is the spiritual veins that the monks rely on for survival. Mortals who have lost the protection of the monks and stay near the spiritual veins will undoubtedly become the blood food of the monsters.
If you want to move them on a large scale, they will also be easily discovered and chased by monsters. You can only send them away to hide in the mountains and forests far away from the spiritual veins. Although if you do this for a long time, it is inevitable that no one will be discovered and devoured by the monsters, but Some mortals can still escape this disaster.
After Huoyun Mountain discovered the evil beast's plan, the chosen tactic was to fortify the wall and clear the field. Basically, all the first-level spiritual veins that could be abandoned near Huoyun Mountain were evacuated, and only the two more important mountains of Longteng Mountain and Jiu Mountain were defended. Second level spiritual veins.
In this way, Huoyun Mountain and the monster army have been in a stalemate for several months without any large-scale war breaking out. The two sides only fought a few small battles around the two second-level spiritual veins. The Huoyun Mountain monk army also got A few months of rest.
After several failed attacks on Longteng Mountain and Jiu Mountain, the demonic beasts finally couldn't bear it anymore. The two demon kings divided their troops into two groups. Under the leadership of the White Lion Demon King himself, the army of thousands of demonic beasts formed a mighty force. He then attacked towards Tenglong Mountain, while the remaining demon beasts and the Demon King, the Nine-Patterned Jiao, stayed around Huoyun Mountain to block the defenders who came to support them.
After Huoyun Mountain received the news of a large-scale attack by monsters on Longteng Mountain, Chu Fengping immediately organized a large number of monks to go to the rescue. Not only did he send out three masters of the ninth level of foundation building, he also used the only one of Xiaoyao Sect. There was only a third-level puppet beast, and he himself took action to restrain the Nine-Patterned Jiao.
The two sides fought a battle in Longteng Mountain. This battle was also very fierce. Both sides suffered heavy losses. Seven of the foundation-building monks on the Huoyun Mountain side were killed on the spot. The White Lion Demon King also lost more than a dozen people. A second-level demon beast had a section of its own tail cut off. In the end, the White Lion Demon King still failed to break through this second-level spiritual vein.
