Chapter 478 Li Mufeng’s intention
After receiving the news of the great victory over the monster beast from Huoyun Mountain, everyone in Jinshanfang finally calmed down.
Although Huoyun Mountain temporarily blocked the vanguard of the monster beast army going south, facing the six to seven hundred monster beasts that gathered south again, Cao Rongxue and the others on the mountain had less than 300 monks in total, and there were more than 300 monks. They were all the old, weak, sick and disabled who were left behind, but there was still a big gap in strength. They could only rely on the Huoyun Mountain Mountain Guard Formation to resist.
Fortunately, Song Yuanfang had just brought dozens of monks who were transporting supplies from Qinghe County to the nearby area and arrived at Huoyun Mountain in time for support. This gave the Huoyun Mountain monks time to summon the support of family monks in the south to help Cao Rongxue and the others slowly stabilize. Stayed in position.
Compared with the constant fighting between the main forces of the two sides in Jinshanfang, the fighting in Huoyunshan became more and more fierce. After several battles, both sides suffered considerable losses. Even Song Yuanfang, the person who was originally responsible for transporting supplies, suffered heavy losses. , were all unlucky enough to be seriously injured in this battle.
There are only five foundation-building monks on the Huoyun Mountain side and the Song Yuan side who came to support. Even if one of the monster beasts has been killed by Cao Rongxue and the others, there are still nine second-level monsters on the Huoyun Mountain. The number of high-level monks is far less than that of the monster beasts, and the high-level combat effectiveness of the two sides is also very different.
After Song Yuanfang rushed to Huoyun Mountain for support, he was immediately driven to the battlefield by Cao Rongxue. Although Song Yuanfang had successfully built a foundation a few years ago and had two second-level magic weapons on his body, his own fighting skills He doesn't have much experience, and his strength is relatively weak among the foundation-building monks.
After several battles with monsters, the weaker Song Yuanfang was quickly targeted by a mid-stage Foundation Establishment monster. During the melee, he was attacked from behind by this monster and was slapped to the ground with its claws. Later, he was almost hit on the spot. Roasted by the real fire breathed out by the monster.
Fortunately, Song Yuanfang also had a second-level middle-grade defensive talisman given to him by Song Qingming, which helped him absorb most of the damage in time, so he did not lose his life on the battlefield and escaped back to Huoyun Mountain in time.
Although a life was saved in time, the injury directly damaged several important meridians in Song Yuanfang's body. Even if Song Yuanfang could slowly recover in the future, it would greatly affect the progress of his cultivation, and he might not be able to form any pills in his life. of hope.
It was precisely because he knew that Song Yuanfang had just succeeded in building a foundation and had little fighting experience that Song Qingming deliberately left him in the safer rear family. Unexpectedly, Song Qingming originally intended to take care of the weaker Song Yuanfang, but by chance, Song Qingming made this arrangement. But he encountered a more dangerous battle at Huoyun Mountain.
After receiving the news that Song Yuanfang was seriously injured and sent back to Funiu Mountain, Song Qingming, who was in Jinshanfang, also showed a look of helplessness. They were in this world of immortal cultivation that was full of crises, and almost no place could have eternal peace.
Even if Song Yuanfang is very lucky to be born in the already powerful Song family, and has Song Qingming, the ancestor of the family's golden elixir, to take care of him and successfully build the foundation, he will still encounter these sudden crises, and he wants to be better. As they continue to practice, every monk must find ways to strengthen themselves as quickly as possible.
After several battles with the demonic beasts under the leadership of Cao Rongxue, the Huoyun Mountain monks suffered some losses and suffered heavy casualties. However, in the end they did not disappoint Song Qingming and others who were far away in Jinshanfang, and gritted their teeth to defend Huoyun Mountain. This important position prevents the monsters here from continuing southward.
In this way, the two battlefields of Jinshanfang and Huoyun Mountain were once again in a state of anxiety. The army of monsters led by the White Lion Demon King would not dare to continue southward unless they conquered the two strongholds of Jinshanfang and Huoyun Mountain. , otherwise once they go deep into the human territory, they will be taken back by the Jinshanfang monks.
The following low-level monsters with low IQs will die if they die, but high-level monsters like the White Lion Demon King do not have the courage and stupidity to take this risk, so they can only confront Song Qingming and the others here in Jinshanfang. Come down.
In this way, the two sides have been in a stalemate near Jinshanfang for more than half a year. During this period, the human monks and the monster army fought several battles. In the end, no one could do anything to the other. After several battles between Song Qingming and the White Lion Demon King, although they could occupy some He had the upper hand, but there was not much he could do against this cunning demon king.
After all, although the White Lion Demon King's fighting ability is no longer as good as Song Qingming's now, his cultivation is still higher than him. The strength gap between the two sides is not that big. Song Qingming still feels a little uncomfortable if he wants to kill it head-on by himself. Too likely.
——
Xiaoyao Sect, in Xiaoyao Hall in Guyang Mountain.
Li Mufeng stood above the main hall and was listening to Master Guangling, who looked slightly sad below, reporting on the battle situation on the front lines of the Weiguo.
More than half a year has passed since the demonic beast turmoil in northern Xinjiang began. Except for Jinshanfang, where the Weiguo side is still in a stalemate with the White Lion Demon King, the situation in several other battlefields is even worse.
On the Guiyunfang side, Bai Yuxian and the main monks of Xiaoyao Sect, although they relied on the mountain protection formation to block the siege of many demon kings in Jinyu Mountain, they could only hide in the city and be beaten passively, without any ability to fight back.
Nowadays, although Guiyunfang, a third-level spiritual vein that is very important to the sect, is still in the hands of Xiaoyao Sect, in order to protect this spiritual vein in the past six months, Xiaoyao Sect has not only lost thousands of disciples in the Qi refining period, but also the foundation building Forty or fifty of the monks had died in the battle.
These low-level monks are extremely valuable fresh blood in the Xiaoyao Sect. Once the losses in dealing with the monster chaos are too great, the overall strength of the Xiaoyao Sect will inevitably be greatly affected in the future.
The one who is even more worried is the Xiaoyao Sect. Two Jindan elders have been injured in the Guiyunfang battle. They have temporarily lost their fighting power and returned to the sect to cultivate. Although Chen Xuanxin, who is used as a reserve force in the Xiaoyao sect, has already rushed there. He asked Guiyunfang for help, but there was still a big gap between the two sides in terms of Jindan level combat power on the battlefield.
A total of ten demon kings from Jinyu Mountain came to attack Guiyunfang this time, which was more than the last demon beast turmoil. There were three powerful demon kings in the late Jindan period. In comparison, Guiyun now has There are only five Jindan monks from the Xiaoyao Sect in the square who can come out to fight.
After the army of demon beasts surrounded Guiyunfang, several demon kings among them had already led some of the demon beasts across Guiyunfang and entered several counties south of Guiyunfang. Recently, Guangling Master also led his sect. The important mobile forces remaining in the gate were fighting fires in the northern part of the country.
Although with the efforts of Guangling Zhenren and others, the Xiaoyao Sect held many important Lingshan strongholds, most of the counties in Gaoyun County south of Guiyunfang fell into the hands of monsters. For a time, this place was the same as before. Like Pingyang County, it immediately turned into a tragic scene of devastation.
Although Fengyang De's side in Tuo Yun Mountain seemed to be in danger all the time, I don't know what powerful trump card Fengyang De used, but he managed to injure the cloud crane and temporarily resolve the crisis.
Although Tuo Yun Mountain is still surrounded by monsters and the situation is critical at any time, they are still holding Lingshan firmly and have not allowed the monsters there to cross Tuo Yun Mountain on a large scale.
Although there has been no news from the Iron Fairy Castle, the Xiaoyao Sect has not seen a large number of monsters crossing the Iron Fairy Castle, and it can be judged that the Ma family is still resisting. As for the specific situation inside the Iron Fairy Castle, , they don’t know.
Now Xiaoyao Zongguang is somewhat unable to deal with the main force of monsters in Guiyunfang, and there is no extra strength to help them. Even if Xiaoyao Zong now knows about their difficulties, there is nothing they can do to help.
"Uncle Li, Junior Sister Bai and the others seem to have suffered heavy losses, but they can still hold on for a while. But now our losses in Gaoyun County are too great. Two demon kings have appeared in Gaoyun County now. It’s just too much for me to handle on my own.”
"Guang Ling, I understand what you mean. When you come back this time, do you plan to go to the treasury and take away the sect's third-level puppet beast?" After hearing the complaints from Master Guang Ling, Li Mufeng looked calm. He directly said what was on his mind.
The third-level puppet beast Li Mufeng mentioned was the only third-level puppet beast in the Xiaoyao Sect. The grade of this puppet beast had reached the third-level mid-level. Under the control of two foundation-building monks, The strength he exerted in a short period of time was comparable to that of an early stage Jindan monk.
Seeing Li Mufeng directly criticize him, Master Guangling nodded after a moment of embarrassment and said: "Although this disciple is determined to defend the sect's territory, he also suffers from his own lack of strength. He really has no confidence that he can stop the two demon kings."
After Li Mufeng turned his face and thought for a moment, he turned around and faced Master Guangling with a normal expression and said slowly: "I know your difficulties, but I have already planned another use for this puppet beast, and I can't let you take it now." Go to Gaoyun County, you still need to think about the situation there. "
"Master Uncle Li, the situation here in Gaoyun County is so critical now, and Junior Sister Bai's side in Guiyunfang can still hold on. This disciple really doesn't understand why you still want to take this puppet beast to Guiyunfang? "
Looking at the puzzled look on Master Guangling's face, Li Mufeng quickly shook his head and said, "I'm not taking this puppet beast to Guiyunfang, but I plan to transfer it to Jinshanfang to help Qingming first. While fighting off the monsters on the Jinshanfang side, let them get out and support the Guiyunfang side."
"Support Jinshanfang? Hasn't Junior Brother Song already blocked the army of monsters in the east? Even if they can get out, with just the few people from Junior Brother Song and Jinshanfang, they won't be able to make much progress when they go to Guiyunfang. It works.”
After hearing Li Mufeng's explanation, Guangling's face seemed a little more confused than before. He really couldn't figure out the purpose of Li Mufeng's move in front of him.
