Chapter 489 Conspiracy
Facing the Nine-marked Jiao who wanted to escape, Song Qingming stepped forward and pursued him for more than ten miles, but found that his escape speed was not as good as the opponent's. Looking at the Nine-marked Jiao that had disappeared before his eyes, Song Qingming could only sigh slightly at the same spot. After taking a breath, he turned around and returned to the Zixingfang battlefield.
When Song Qingming came back, the army of monster beasts that were still fighting in Zixingfang gradually lost their fighting spirit after learning about the defeat of the Demon King. Under the leadership of some second-level monsters, the remaining army of monster beasts began to follow Jiu. Wen Jiao turned around and fled north, and the Xiaoyao Sect quickly succeeded in taking back Zixingfang, a city with a very critical geographical location.
Although this battle was a bit thrilling, fortunately everyone in the Xiaoyao Sect achieved their original plan and successfully completed the two important tasks of killing the Fire Leopard Demon King and retaking the Purple Star Square.
Song Qingming, who had just returned to Zixingfang, saw that there was still a messy scene everywhere. He quickly ordered the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect to stop chasing the scattered monsters and return to Fangshi to speed up the repair of the already destroyed Fangshi Mountain Protection Formation. .
Now, although the Xiaoyao Sect has retaken this city, Zixingfang is located between Guiyunfang and Gaoyun County. There are still many monsters in these two places, and they may counterattack this city at any time. They must The earlier you prepare, the better you can face the coming battle.
After arranging the task of repairing the Fang City Formation, just when Song Qingming was about to go to Yao Qianshu to discuss how to guard the Purple Star Square in the next step, he happened to meet Yao Qianshu, a foundation-building disciple of the sect. , specially ordered to come to invite him.
"Uncle Song, master, please come over and tell me that I have something important to discuss with you!"
Under his guidance, Song Qingming went directly to a hill outside the battlefield and saw Yao Qianshu, who had withdrawn from the battle and was sitting aside to adjust his condition.
The moment he saw Yao Qianshu's face, Song Qingming froze in place as he moved forward, with a hint of surprise on his face.
In Song Qingming's eyes, Yao Qianshu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground at this moment, completely lost the majestic look he had when he and Li Xianyun surrounded the Fire Leopard Demon King just now.
His hair seemed to suddenly turn gray all of a sudden, and his slightly sunken eyes and facial wrinkles clung to his thin face, making Yao Qianshu look like a gaunt old man who had lost most of his life. , as if a strong wind could blow him down.
"Haha! Junior Brother Song, don't I scare you a little by looking like this?" Seeing Song Qingming standing there blankly, Yao Qianshu forced a smile on his face and reminded him.
Seeing that Yao Qian suddenly became so weak after the battle, Song Qingming asked with confusion: "Brother, headmaster, I just heard that you are still fine. Why is your injury so serious again? Is it because just now?" "Been killed in battle"
Before Song Qingming could finish speaking, Yao Qianshu quickly interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and explained directly: "Junior Brother Song, please don't worry. I am not like this because I was injured in the fight with the Demon King, but because I just served before the battle." It’s because of the Deer Soul Pill.
This elixir can help me suppress my original injury in a short period of time. Now that the effect of the elixir has passed, I am actually like this because of excessive loss of essence and blood in my body. It is not a big problem. As long as I go back to practice for a while, I will slowly get better. Recovered. "
"Junior brother, the head brother, is actually able to make such a big sacrifice for the sect. I really admire him." After Song Qingming finished speaking, he solemnly bowed to Yao Qianshu who was sitting on the ground.
"Haha! Junior brother, don't say that. The sect has sacrificed countless disciples in this disaster. You are all risking your lives to kill the enemy on the front line. As the leader, I have made a little sacrifice, so what can you praise me for?
It's a pity that the sect only has this Deer Soul Pill left. I can't help you anymore. The Purple Star Square will be left to you and fellow Daoist Li, junior brother. Yao Qianshu sighed slightly.
"Brother, please rest assured that you can go back and recuperate. With the help of Fellow Daoist Li, and with so many sect disciples here, as long as we successfully repair the mountain-protecting formation in Fang City, we will definitely be able to defend this place."
Hearing Song Qingming's confident reply, Yao Qianshu nodded with a smile on his face.
"Then I'll leave this to you, junior brother!"
After Yao Qianshu and Song Qingming had an explanation, they directly handed over the command of the army of monks in Jiangfang City to Song Qingming, and then returned to Guyang Mountain under the escort of several trusted disciples.
After seeing off the head brother, Song Qingming immediately returned to Zixingfang and stood in the center of Fang City in person, arranging and supervising the many monks who were repairing the mountain-protecting formation in Fang City to speed up the repair of the mountain-protecting formation.
Although he lost Yao Qianshu, a golden elixir master, to help guard Fang City, Song Qingming did not lose much confidence in guarding Fang City. As long as the Fang City Mountain Protection Formation could be repaired in time, he and Li Xianyun, a late golden elixir master, could Experts are stationed here. As long as the monsters from Guiyunfang don't come in full force, they are still confident that they can defend this city.
However, the top priority for the Xiaoyao Sect is to repair the Fangshi Formation of Zixingfang as soon as possible. It has been so long, and it is estimated that the main force of the monsters in Guiyunfang has already received the request for help from the Zixingfang monsters and sent out Reinforcements are coming this way.
In the battle just now, everyone from the Xiaoyao Sect attacked with all their strength and quickly killed the Fire Leopard Demon King. The entire battle was over in less than an hour. Although they did not pursue too far behind, they let go of most of the low-level monsters. , but Xiaoyao Sect itself did not suffer much losses.
Except for the loss of Yao Qianshu's golden elixir combat power, the other foundation-building and Qi-refining monks only suffered less than 200 casualties, and their overall strength was basically still intact.
Guiyunfang is almost three thousand miles away from Zixingfang. It will take almost three or four days for the main army of demon beasts to arrive for support. However, if those high-level demon kings abandon the low-level demons under their command, If the beast came to help alone, it would take at most half a day to reach Zixingfang.
For this reason, the Xiaoyao Sect must repair the Fangshi Formation as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the other party really comes and has several demon kings at once and fights in Fangshi, it will be a little difficult to repair the Mountain Protecting Formation. .
In order to recapture Zixingfang this time, Xiaoyao Sect also made a lot of preparations in advance. In order to quickly repair the Fangshi array after recapturing Fangshi, the sect also specially recruited a batch of materials for repairing the magic circle this time, as well as ten Several second-level formation mages accompanied him.
With the joint efforts of these formation masters, most of the Zixingfang Mountain Protection Formation had been repaired in less than half a day. Song Qingming finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the mountain protection formation gradually lighting up in front of him.
Until the Fangshi Grand Formation was completely repaired two days later, there was still no demon king coming to harass Zixingfang. This also gave Song Qingming an unexpected look of joy on his face, and he completely let go of his worries.
In fact, just a few days ago during the battle of Zixingfang, after the White Dragon Demon King from Guiyunfang received a call for help, he immediately sent two demon kings southward, rushing to Zixingfang to support the Nine-marked Jiao and Fire Leopard. Demon King.
It's just that the demon beasts on the Zixingfang side were defeated too quickly. The Fire Leopard Demon King lost his life less than half an hour after the battle started. The two demon kings were still halfway through, and the battle on the Zixingfang side was about to begin. It has ended.
The Nine-marked Jiao, who had just escaped halfway, encountered these two demon kings and informed them of the situation he encountered in Purple Star Square. After the three demon kings discussed it on the spot, they felt that they alone did not have much. Confident that they could take back Zixingfang, they finally decided to turn around and return to Guiyunfang together.
Although these three demon kings are very powerful, according to the information provided by Jiuwen Jiao, the Xiaoyao Sect also came to attack Zixingfang with three Jindan monks, as well as Yao Qianshu and Li Xianyun. Even if the two late-stage Jindan powerhouses only competed with each other in terms of Jindan combat power, the monster side would not have much confidence in winning.
Moreover, there are now thousands of human monks in Purple Star Square who can support them, but the army of monsters under their command is still thousands of miles away and cannot be used. Once the raid on Purple Star Square fails, the three of them may want to escape safely. All difficult.
Although they don’t know much about Li Xianyun personally, Yao Qianshu, the leader of Xiaoyao Sect, and several demon kings including Jiuwen Jiao have long heard about his strength, and naturally they have some feelings for him. fear.
After Yao Qianshu formed the elixir, he cultivated to the late stage of the golden elixir in less than a hundred years. He has always been at the forefront among the golden elixir monks of Xiaoyao Sect in terms of cultivation and fighting ability. Over the past few hundred years, he has only Three or four demon kings under Jin Yushan have died tragically in his hands.
Jiuwen Jiao and the two demon kings knew that the current defense force of Zixingfang was very strong, and they did not have the courage to go south to Zixingfang to take risks. They could only turn around and return to Guiyunfang together, and reported the news to the White Dragon Demon king.
After hearing the news that Yao Qianshu had appeared in Zixingfang, the White Dragon Demon King and other demon kings besieging Guiyunfang were also shocked. The head of the Xiaoyao Sect had never shown his face since the demon beast turmoil. The demonic beasts who didn't understand the situation thought that the head of the Xiaoyao Sect might have died at the end of his life.
After all, the longevity of the human monks at the same level is far less than that of the monsters. Yao Qian has been forming pills for more than four hundred years, and his lifespan is indeed running out. It is normal for the monsters and beasts to have this speculation.
Guiyunfang has been fighting for more than half a year. Bai Yuxian and the Xiaoyao Sect have endured for so long. In almost every battle, the demon clan has the upper hand. The Xiaoyao Sect has already suffered a lot in Guiyunfang. The monks, even Zhao Fenglian, the elder of the sect's golden elixir, were seriously injured in the battle and almost died at the hands of the White Dragon Demon King.
Later, the demon army divided its forces and moved south. The weakly defended Zixingfang was quickly breached by the demon army. Most of the entire Gaoyun County had fallen into the hands of the demon beasts, and countless monks and mortals were killed and wounded. Faced with such a critical situation, Yao Qianshu also did not show up.
According to common sense, if Yao Qianshu can participate in the battle, as long as he, the head of the Xiaoyao Sect, can take action in the several battles in Guiyunfang, the Xiaoyao Sect will not be at such a big disadvantage from the beginning, and the demon clan army will not be behind. Maybe they dare to go south and invade Gaoyun County easily.
It is precisely because of this monster turmoil that the Weiguo side has been in emergency from the beginning. Many territories have been captured one after another, and the losses are immeasurable. It does not look like a show at all. This also makes many monster kings who go south gradually He put down his guard against the leader of Xiaoyao Sect.
If it weren't for the third-level high-grade mountain guarding formation in Guiyunfang, which is really powerful and difficult to conquer head-on, I'm afraid that the demon army would have already laid waste to this city.
The White Dragon Demon King actually did not expect that Yao Qianshu, who had not shown up before, would suddenly appear at this time to lead the Xiaoyao Sect to attack Zixingfang. This really caught the demon beast side by surprise.
"Is this really another conspiracy of the human monks? In order to allow our monster army to penetrate deep into the territory of the Wei Kingdom, the Xiaoyao Sect can bear it until now and is not willing to take out the trump card of Yao Qianshu. These human monks are really willing to do so. Put down the money."
After hearing the news that Zixingfang was reoccupied by the Xiaoyao Sect and that the Fire Leopard Demon King had died in battle, the White Dragon Demon King, who was leading the demon beast side, suddenly felt something bad and hurriedly called the Gale Demon King and Jiu Feng Demon King who were far away in Gaoyun County of the Wei Kingdom. The Head Demon King sent a message to them thousands of miles away, telling them to quickly find a way to bypass the Purple Star Square and withdraw from the south.
After the demon beasts went south and conquered Zixingfang a few months ago, these two demon kings quickly led thousands of demon beasts to invade south and enter the Gaoyun County of the Wei Kingdom.
Now these two armies of monsters have been wreaking havoc in Gaoyun County for several months. During this period, they have swept away most of the spiritual mountains in the counties to the north of Gaoyun County and have swallowed up nearly a million mortals and monks in Gaoyun County.
If Master Guangling had not led the Xiaoyao Sect monks to come to support in time and stopped them at Cuiyunfang, the largest city in the south of Gaoyun County, I am afraid that not only Gaoyun County, but also Guyang County in the south of Weiguo would have fallen into the hands of the monsters.
Although they were blocked from Cuiyunfang by Master Guangling, the number of low-level monsters in the monster army led by the Gale Demon King and the Nine-Headed Demon King heading south was several times that of the Xiaoyao Sect guarding Fang City. At this moment, the demon beasts They still have the absolute upper hand. As long as they are given an extra month, it will be a matter of time before they break through this city.
At this moment, the Gale Demon King and the Nine-Headed Demon King, who are still driving their army of monsters to attack Cuiyunfang, are four to five thousand miles away from Guiyunfang. They are still unaware of the sudden changes that have occurred behind them in the past few days.
After receiving the message from the White Dragon Demon King, the Gale Demon King and the Nine-Headed Demon King learned that Zixingfang, a very important retreat route behind the demon beast army, had been occupied by the human race, and they immediately fell into panic.
The entire monster army's retreat was cut off, and it was surrounded by the Xiaoyao Sect from the north and south. The Gale Demon King and the Nine-Headed Demon King could only give up and continue to attack Cuiyunfang, and command the monster army to retreat to the north, preparing to bypass Zi. Xingfang retreated to Huiyunfang to join the White Dragon Demon King.
