Chapter 477 Conspiracy
Nowadays, among the four main battlefields in the northern part of the Wei Kingdom, after the battle with the monsters began, only Jinshanfang, where Song Qingming was located, still had a hint of initiative on the battlefield.
After knowing this not-so-good news, Song Qingming's face, which had just been relaxed, became a little serious again. However, in order not to affect the overall morale of Jinshanfang, Song Qingming still did not inform all the monks under his command of this bad news. Only the dozens of foundation-building monks know some of the inside story.
After learning about the poor battle situation in other positions, Song Qingming also stepped up preparations for the battle. Although Jinshanfang had just received reinforcements from monks from Liuyang and Jiangling, there were now more than 2,000 monks defending the city.
But in the past ten days, according to the information obtained by the law enforcement team, there are still small groups of monsters coming from the north to the south. The number of monsters gathering in Huangling Valley is also increasing every day, and the strength of the monsters is also slowly increasing. Enhance.
Faced with this situation, although Jinshanfang gained a certain initiative by winning the first battle, it was far from eliminating the threat of the monsters in the north. Song Qingming could not care about the situation in other places for a while, and could only continue to urge the various places behind to rush to Jinshan. The workshop transported supplies needed for the war.
Before every monster rebellion, the major cultivating families in the northern part of the Wei Kingdom would prepare in advance and store a batch of strategic materials needed for the war, such as spiritual talismans, elixirs, magic weapons, and spiritual rice.
After the war begins, these immortal cultivating families will take the initiative to transport the stored spiritual objects to the front line for support. In addition to being able to exchange for some valuable monster materials, they can also get a lot of sect meritorious service. This is also the case for major foundation-building families. Something that everyone is very happy to do.
Following the edict issued by Song Qingming, the ancestor of the Golden Pill, all the major foundation-building families in Jiangling County took out the spiritual objects accumulated in their treasury and began to transport them to the front line of Jinshanfang in batches. These powerful logistical supports from the rear , and it is also a huge reliance for the monks on the front line of Jinshanfang to continue fighting.
In order to be ready for the next upcoming battle, Song Qingming himself also stepped up his retreat practice.
In the past few years after forming the elixir, Song Qingming spent most of his time on refining the natal magic weapon "Five Color Divine Light Mirror" and his own exercises. Because after forming the elixir, he switched to new exercises, Song Qingming had just completed the "Five Elements Mystic" He has practiced "Gang Jue" to the later stage of foundation building, and it is estimated that it will take two or three years to break through to the golden elixir stage. Now he uses several spells from the "Jade Mysterious Sutra" that he has been practicing before when facing the enemy.
This time, after ambushing the White Lion Demon King and using the "psychedelic array" to trap the demon king, Song Qingming was about to give it a fatal blow when his heart suddenly moved and he tried to directly attach the "invisible light-escape needle" that he had practiced for many years to the magic weapon Qingliu. On the sword.
Unexpectedly, after covering the Qingliu Sword with the "Invisible Light-Escape Needle", it not only successfully concealed most of the aura of this magic weapon as Song Qingming expected, but also increased the power of the Qingliu Sword when facing the enemy.
Because of this, Song Qingming took advantage of the fact that the White Lion Demon King had not fully reacted, quietly controlled the Green Willow Sword to approach it silently, and immediately launched a surprise attack.
Unexpectedly, this sword not only successfully defeated the body-protecting aura of the White Lion Demon King, but even the powerful physical body of the White Lion Demon King ended up like tofu, being easily penetrated by the "Green Willow Sword". If it weren't for the White Lion Demon King, Wang controlled the inner elixir of life in time to block the next attack of "Green Willow Sword". There was no doubt that Song Qingming would really have a chance to keep him.
When he was still in the foundation building stage, after Song Qingming refined the "Invisible Light Escape Needle", he actually tried to cover it on his second-level flying sword. However, after the cover was successful, it failed to enhance the magic weapon he controlled. Even the effect of helping to hide the aura was not very obvious, and later Song Qingming gave up the idea.
Song Qingming also didn't expect that after his "Invisible Light Escape Needle" reached its peak, covering it on the third-level magic weapon would greatly increase the effect. Although he failed to kill the White Lion Demon King in the battle, Song Qingming was still fighting The harvest is still very huge.
After the situation in Jinshanfang stabilized, Song Qingming also took the time to retreat and began to practice the combination of the "Invisible Light Escape Needle" and his magic weapon Qingliu Sword. As long as he could improve his proficiency in this area, Song Qingming would be able to fight against him in the next battle. The White Lion Demon King can also be somewhat sure of defeating this demon head-on.
After all, the IQ of the third-level demon king is no different from that of ordinary people. The strategy of using the "psychedelic array" can only be used once at most by surprise. It is impossible for a high-level demon beast of the level of the White Lion Demon King to be stupid enough to do it easily. Song Qingming was fooled for the second time.
However, Jinshanfang did not relax for long. After repairing for more than a month, the White Lion Demon King regained his strength and led his army of monsters to the outside of Jinshanfang.
Next, the monsters and the human monks once again started a bloody battle outside Jinshanfang. In this battle, because the strength of the monks at Jinshanfang was much stronger than before, the advantage held by the monsters was no longer so obvious. The overall combat effectiveness is basically evenly matched.
In addition to the low-level monsters and monks below, the White Lion Demon King, who had almost recovered from his injuries, also had another battle with Song Qingming outside the city.
In this battle, Song Qingming, who had already mastered the use of the "Invisible Escaped Light Needle" to increase the power of the magic weapon, had the upper hand in the head-on confrontation with the White Lion Demon King. In the end, the White Lion Demon King still relied on several powerful structures under his command. With the help of monsters in the later stage, Song Qingming was barely able to draw.
In the end, both sides suffered injuries to each other, and the battle slowly ended, leaving hundreds of corpses outside Jinshanfang, because the human monks were defending at home, with the Jinshanfang Mountain Protection Formation on their backs. The losses were much less than those on the monster side.
After seeing the power of Song Qingming and the very strong defensive force in Jinshanfang, the White Lion Demon King no longer rashly drove the army of monsters to directly attack Jinshanfang. Instead, he directed the army of monsters to gather to the east of Jinshanfang. There was a confrontation with the Jinshanfang monk.
After the war, although the monster side still had the upper hand in terms of numbers, the human monks were backed by several mountain-protecting formations in Jinshanfang, and could borrow help from the second-level "Feiyun Crossbow" and a steady stream of various spiritual objects. The current strength gap between the two sides There is not much difference. It is no longer possible for the monster side to attack Jinshanfang head-on.
After half a month of confrontation between Jinshanfang and the monks, the White Lion Demon King attacked Fangshi several times, but he still couldn't find a chance to take down the hard nut of Jinshanfang.
After several battles, the demonic beast side suffered a lot of hidden losses and lost many low-level demonic beasts because of the forced attack. Even the second-level demonic beasts were killed by Jinshanfang's side, with more than a dozen of them killed.
Seeing that there was no hope of attacking Jinshanfang from the front, the White Lion Demon King slowly changed his original strategy of attacking Jinshanfang. He began to order some of his demon beasts to secretly bypass Jinshanfang and enter Pingyang County, and attack the Lingshan Mountains near Jinshanfang.
The White Lion Demon King himself led the army of demon beasts to stay outside Jinshanfang, and began to direct these demonic beasts to take turns to harass and attack the city on a small scale, attracting the attention of all the monks here in Jinshanfang.
As the news spread to Jinshanfang that several surrounding spiritual mountains were attacked by monsters, many Pingyang County monks in Fang City suddenly became a little panicked. Although they were in Fang City, their relatives and friends were still in Pingyang in the south. The county family naturally began to worry about their own safety.
The purpose of the White Lion Demon King's move is to force the Jinshanfang monks to take the initiative to come out and fight with him. As long as he leaves Fangshi without the mountain protection formation and those tricky "Feiyun Crossbows", it will be difficult to defeat the Jinshanfang monks in the wild. An army of monsters.
Faced with the White Lion Demon King's conspiracy, Song Qingming and other high-level monks from Jinshanfang were well aware of it and did not fall for it. They immediately went out of the city to fight the monster.
If they choose to take the initiative to come out from Jinshanfang to fight against the monster army, they will definitely play into the hands of the White Lion Demon King, and it will definitely be the human monks who suffer.
But if those monsters are completely ignored and allowed to wreak havoc in Pingyang County, once most of Pingyang County falls into the hands of the monsters, the military morale will inevitably be shaken over time.
In order to appease the many monks from Pingyang County in Jinshanfang, Song Qingming immediately ordered the many cultivating families in the north of Pingyang County to resolutely implement the tactics of strengthening the walls and clearing the country, voluntarily abandoning those spiritual mountains that were difficult to hold, conserving strength to gather at Huoyun Mountain in the south, and organizing forces to resist together The army of monsters heading south.
Then Song Qingming quickly dispatched several foundation-building monks headed by Cao Rongxue, leading a group of relatively elite Qi-refining period monks to Huoyun Mountain, and divided the troops to support the monks who stayed in the south of Pingyang County. In order to facilitate their quick action, Song Qingming He even lent his second-level flying boat to Cao Rongxue for use.
After Cao Rongxue and others arrived at Huoyun Mountain first and joined the many monks gathered here, the Pingyang County monks quickly used the method of luring the enemy deep into the mountain and severely damaged part of the army of monsters heading south at the foot of Huoyun Mountain. Blocking in front of Huoyun Mountain.
Although many places in the north of Pingyang County have temporarily fallen into the hands of monsters, because Song Qingming issued the retreat order early, except for the first few Qi Refining families who did not evacuate in time and suffered relatively large losses, other Immortal Cultivation families continued to After receiving the order, they quickly abandoned their own spiritual mountains and evacuated directly to Huoyun Mountain.
During the last monster chaos, because the White Lion Demon King appeared and suddenly attacked Jinshanfang, all the spiritual mountains of the major cultivating families in the north of Pingyang County were swept away by the monster army, causing them huge losses. Many of the cultivating families died on their own. This has died.
After all, one gains wisdom after suffering. As a precaution, these many immortal cultivating families who had suffered losses had already sent some mortals to the south of Pingyang County long before the monster turmoil.
Although the army of monster beasts that divided its forces and went south conquered many spiritual mountains, except for the loss of a small number of mortals on the human side, the overall losses of the monks were actually not large.
