Chapter 518 No matter what
In Tiexian Fort, Ma Qiudie, who had escaped by chance, looked at the old man who died tragically at the hands of Song Qingming outside the formation, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.
If it weren't for the elder of the Ma family who risked his life to appear outside the formation and help Ma Qiudie hold Song Qingming for a moment, she would have been in danger at this moment.
It's a pity that this person is only at the foundation-building stage. Although he successfully saved Ma Qiudie, he himself didn't have the opportunity to escape and paid the price of his life.
The fights between high-level cultivators in the world of cultivation are often so cruel. The Ma family chose to betray Xiaoyao Sect, and they must be prepared to bear such terrible consequences at any time.
After Song Qingming rushed back to the battlefield, he immediately joined Jin Ziyuan's battlefield and besieged Ma Hongshan with him.
Seeing that Ma Qiudie had escaped safely, Ma Hongshan was relieved. Even though he was facing the combined forces of Song Qingming and Jin Ziyuan, the pressure on him was doubled. However, as a veteran Jindan cultivator, Ma Hongshan's experience in fighting was far beyond that of Ma Qiudie, who had just formed a Dan. Although he was temporarily at a disadvantage, he could still cope with it in a short period of time.
But the good times did not last long. Ma Qiudie had just escaped back to Tiexianbao, and within half an incense stick of time, another person from Jiuyuan Sect was soon forced to withdraw from the battlefield.
A Jiuyuan Sect Jindan elder who fought with Chen Xuanxin was only at the third level, and his personal strength was far inferior to that of his opponent, Chen Xuanxin, who practiced sword cultivation. After fighting for more than a hundred rounds, this Jiuyuan Sect elder was gradually defeated by Chen Xuanxin, and he seized the opportunity to cut off half of his left arm with a sword.
The Jiuyuan Sect elder, who had been severely injured and temporarily lost the ability to fight the enemy, hurriedly used an auxiliary talisman to turn around and retreat directly to the Iron Immortal Fortress Mountain Protection Array. Seeing that many people on the battlefield had already fallen behind, Yue Wuji, the head of the Jiuyuan Sect who was fighting Bai Yuxian, was also a little anxious. He hurriedly sent a secret message to other Jiuyuan Sect cultivators who were fighting against the enemy, and they joined together and retreated to the mountain protection array. Although the overall strength of the Jindan cultivators on the Jiuyuan Sect side was not as good as that of the Xiaoyao Sect side, they suffered a little loss shortly after the battle began, but with the protection of the Iron Immortal Fortress Mountain Protection Array, they were still able to barely hold on, temporarily dragging the Xiaoyao Sect people outside the formation, and did not give Song Qingming and others too many opportunities to directly attack the mountain protection array. Although Xiaoyao Sect had the advantage on the battlefield and had injured several Jindan cultivators of the other side, they only brought Jindan cultivators to Tiexian Fort this time, and there were not many low-level cultivators accompanying them. Under the desperate containment of many Jindan cultivators of the other side, they could not do anything about the Tiexian Fort mountain protection formation for a while.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate again, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the sky, and a blue shield light suddenly flew from the sky in the distance. After a few flashes, it appeared in the middle of the battlefield and turned into a smiling middle-aged man.
The person who came was the Yuanying Grand Elder of Jiuyuan Sect, Wu Jiuyuan.
"Haha! Uncle Wu is back." After seeing Wu Jiuyuan appear, everyone in Jiuyuan Sect immediately showed great joy and hurried to him.
On the other side, everyone in Xiaoyao Sect felt the powerful momentum emanating from Wu Jiuyuan, and knew that the other party was a Yuanying cultivator. Their faces changed and they quickly stopped attacking.
Before Xiaoyao Sect and others could make any move, another green light flew over from a distance. Li Mufeng, who was half a step behind Wu Jiuyuan, had already arrived on the battlefield.
After seeing Li Mufeng, Song Qingming and others, who had just been a little flustered, immediately calmed down.
"Li Mufeng, I believe you have had a good fight today. Why don't you go back and recover your mana and fight again tomorrow?"
Facing Wu Jiuyuan's challenge, Li Mufeng, with a cold face, ignored him. He looked at Yao Qianshu and others beside him, and directly spit out the word "go", and left Tiexianbao with everyone.
After watching Li Mufeng and Xiaoyao Sect leave, Wu Jiuyuan put away the relaxed look on his face, and asked the Jiuyuan Sect members beside him with a heavy face: "Why are Ziheng and Qiudie not here?"
"We just had a fight with Yao Qianshu and others, and the two junior brothers and sisters were accidentally injured by the Xiaoyao Sect." Seeing that Wu Jiuyuan's face seemed a little bad, Yue Wuji, the head of Jiuyuan Sect, stepped forward carefully and replied.
Wu Jiuyuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and after a moment, he waved his hand to everyone and said, "Everyone go back first!"
In Tiexian Fort, Wu Jiuyuan went to check on the injured Ma Qiudie as soon as he returned to the fort.
In this battle, although Ma Qiudie was forced into a very embarrassing state by Song Qingming, most of her injuries were flesh and blood injuries, and her mana was over-consumed during the battle. In fact, she was not seriously injured, and she only needed to recuperate for a year or two to recover.
After seeing that Ma Qiudie was fine, Wu Jiuyuan generously gave her two healing pills, smiled and comforted her for a long time before slowly leaving and coming to another cave where Wang Ziheng was recuperating.
Compared to Ma Qiudie's injuries, Wang Ziheng, who lost half of his right hand, was more seriously injured. Although he could regenerate his broken limbs through some high-level spiritual medicines, it would take about 10 to 20 years to fully recover, and during this period, he could no longer rashly use his mana to fight with others.
Although Wang Ziheng's cultivation level is not high, he is only at the third level of the Golden Core, but he is also a cultivator from the Jiuyuan Sect like Wu Jiuyuan, and is considered a core elder in the Jiuyuan Sect.
Seeing that Wang Ziheng, who had followed him for so many years and promoted the Jiuyuan Sect, was injured like this, Wu Jiuyuan also showed a look of displeasure on his face.
"Didn't Ma Hongshan say before that Yao Qianshu was seriously injured and could no longer take action at will? Why is he here today? You have been in Weiguo for so long, why have you not figured out such an important thing?"
"Uncle, please calm down. It's true that Yao Qianshu was injured. Junior Brother Linghu also saw something from his fight with him today. The injury on this person's body has not fully recovered. Otherwise, Junior Brother Linghu's cultivation level would be impossible." Maybe after dealing with him for so long, you can still escape unscathed.
We also heard some news a few years ago. During the last demonic beast rebellion, Yao Qianshu forcibly took action in Zixingfang and took a deer soul pill. We also did not expect that his injuries recovered so quickly. "
As soon as Yue Wuji finished speaking, Linghujie, who was standing next to him, also echoed: "Senior Brother Head is right. Last time I went to the Kingdom of Wu to attend the Star Conference, I also saw Yao Qianshu. At that time, he The injuries on his body were indeed serious, but I don’t know how the old guy recovered so quickly.”
After Linghujie finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Jiuyuan slightly, and saw that he didn't keep his eyes on him, and then he slowly felt relieved.
Although Linghujie's cultivation has reached the late stage of Jindan and he ranks second among the many Jindan elders of Jiuyuan Sect, he was originally from another small sect. Those who join the Jiuyuan Sect have no higher status than other elders in the sect.
When he went to the Kingdom of Wu to attend the Star Conference that day, he actually saw Yao Qianshu taking down a fog-snow-ice lotus on the last day, but he didn't guess at the time that Yao Qianshu's injuries would be cured after he got it. Zi Zi recovered more than half and did not tell Wu Jiuyuan and others about this.
Although after the battle with Yao Qianshu, Linghujie had some speculations in his mind that Yao Qianshu's recovery from injuries might be related to the fact that he got the Fog Snow Ice Lotus that day, but at this moment he could only pretend not to know. , dare not say it directly.
Originally, he had never been trusted by Wu Jiuyuan in the sect. If he came out to mention this now, Wu Jiuyuan might get angry and put all the faults today on him.
"I have not reached an agreement with Li Mufeng today. This guy will definitely leave in full force after he returns. Wuji, you go discuss it with Ma Hongshan and see if they can evacuate in advance."
"Evacuate? Uncle Master, didn't we agree to Ma Hongshan in the first place? We have to fight for them for at least one year."
Wu Jiuyuan waved his hand and snorted coldly: "Humph! Tell Ma Hongshan not to be too greedy. We have reached this juncture. Why should we be reluctant to part with this little property? We helped him go to Tuoyun last time. Shan robbed such a large amount of spiritual objects, does he still think he didn't earn enough?
Although the Xiaoyao Sect has withdrawn its troops today, we are already at a disadvantage after this battle. Iron Immortal Fort is too far away from the sect, so it is difficult for us to mobilize manpower. Once the Xiaoyao Sect's army arrives, we will definitely not be able to defend this place. , we must make plans in advance. "
Hearing Wu Jiuyuan's angry rebuke, Yue Wuji nodded quickly and walked out without saying anything else.
——
Three days later, he returned to the main hall of Guiyunfang.
Li Mufeng sat at the top with a calm expression, and Yao Qianshu and other Xiaoyao Sect's many golden elixir elders sat down below.
In the battle of Iron Immortal Castle, although the Xiaoyao Sect had a slight upper hand, only a few Jindan monks could not break through the Iron Immortal Castle protective formation. They had no choice but to retreat to Guiyunfang first, preparing to mobilize enough The manpower will continue to attack Iron Immortal Castle.
When the monsters were in turmoil, the Xiaoyao Sect did not send troops to support Iron Immortal Castle at first. On the one hand, it was because Yao Qianshu was suddenly injured and the Xiaoyao Sect itself was short of manpower. On the other hand, Li Mufeng also wanted to take advantage of the monsters' turmoil. Ma family, weaken their strength.
Li Mufeng obviously did not expect in advance that Ma Hongshan would choose to join Wu Jiuyuan and introduce the power of Jiuyuan Sect into Weiguo.
A Jindan family in the territory under his command betrayed the sect and joined other forces. This was something the Xiaoyao Sect would never tolerate. Even if an all-out war with the Jiuyuan Sect was to begin next, Li Mufeng was already prepared to do anything.
"Uncle Li, I received a message from Junior Brother Guangling yesterday. It will take about ten days at most before the sect can prepare five flying boats and arrive at Guiyunfang."
