Chapter 622 Supporting Baimeng Mountain
Seeing the red sound transmission talisman in the hand of the visitor, everyone in the hall, including Song Qingming, immediately turned their eyes to him.
Song Qingming, who was sitting at the top, waved his hand to take the sound transmission talisman in the hand of the visitor, opened it and took a look, and soon frowned.
Song Qingyu, who was standing aside, immediately asked softly: "Seventh Brother, what big thing happened in the sect?"
"The Lingyin Sect on the front line of Lu State suddenly retreated, the Fengguyuan defense line has been breached by the Tianhai League, and Senior Brother Lu also died on the front line!"
"What? How could this happen!" Hearing this shocking news, all the Song family cultivators present immediately shouted in surprise.
"Seventh brother! Are Yuan Li and the others okay?"
Song Qingming looked serious, shook his head slightly and said: "The letter didn't mention Yuan Li and the others, and we don't know the situation yet. Qingyu, you stay in the family first. The head brother summoned me, and I will go to the sect to discuss matters immediately."
In the past year or so, Song Qingming has also inquired about some battle reports on the front line of Lu State, but all the news he heard basically said that the front line of Fengguyuan was stable and there was nothing unusual.
Including Song Qingming, everyone in the Song family basically thought that the battle between Lingyin Sect and "Tianhai League" would not last too long.
Song Qingming did not expect that there would be such a big change on the front line of Lu State at this time. Not only did Lingyin Sect suddenly retreat, but even the Jindan elder Lu Boyang who came to support Xiaoyao Sect was killed on the front battlefield. How could it not surprise everyone so much.
In recent years, in order to support Lingyin Sect against the "Tianhai League", Xiaoyao Sect has sent many cultivators to the front line of Lu State for support. Now even the leader of the Jindan Elder Lu Boyang has died in the battle. Needless to say, those foundation building and Qi refining cultivators below must have suffered heavy losses.
The sudden death of a Jindan elder is also a matter of great impact on Xiaoyao Sect. No wonder they directly used the emergency sound transmission note to summon Song Qingming to the sect for discussion.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Song Qingming did not dare to delay too much. After explaining a few words to Song Qingyu and others, he took a flying boat alone to Guyang Mountain.
When Song Qingming arrived at Xiaoyao Hall, except for Chen Xuanxin who was still supporting the front line of Lu State and Bai Yuxian who was in seclusion to impact the Nascent Soul Realm, all the Jindan elders of Xiaoyao Sect had already arrived in the hall.
Everyone had also heard the battle report of the defeat of Lingyin Sect on the front line, and were discussing the matter with each other, but everyone's tone was a little heavy.
In particular, the elders who had a good relationship with Lv Boyang still had a lot of sadness on their faces. It was obvious that they were a little caught off guard by the sudden death of this fellow who had been with them for many years.
After Song Qingming came in, he hurriedly asked the head of the sect Yao Qianshu who was sitting next to him, and only then did he roughly understand the reason for the sudden retreat of Lingyin Sect and the current situation on the front battlefield.
Over the past year or so, although Lingyin Sect has always been at a disadvantage, it has relied on several third-level mountain protection formations to block the "Tianhai League" on the Fengguyuan line and prevent them from invading the core area of Lu.
Seeing that it was difficult to break the deadlock on the front battlefield, the "Tianhai League" used the strategy of division and disintegration, and reached an agreement with the "Yuxiao Sect" guarding Zipeng Mountain, using great benefits in exchange for their joining the "Tianhai League".
The "Yuxiao Sect" was originally an important force on the front battlefield of Lingyin Sect. Their sudden change of sides allowed the "Tianhai League" monks to come in from the side, which also caused the entire battlefield to quickly unbalance the power.
The Lingyin Sect, whose retreat was cut off, had no choice but to give up the Fengguyuan defense line and retreated all the way to Baimeng Mountain, the spiritual place of the Lingyin Sect.
In this battle, three Jindan cultivators from the Lingyin Sect died in battle. Lu Boyang from the Xiaoyao Sect was also ambushed by the cultivators of the "Tianhai League" during his retreat and died directly on the battlefield.
In addition, thousands of low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages died in this battle on the front line of Lu State. The entire southern part of Lu State has now fallen into the hands of the "Tianhai League".
Baimeng Mountain, which has been surrounded by a large army of cultivators from the "Tianhai League", is now in a precarious state. If there is no support from the rear, I am afraid that the people of the Lingyin Sect will not be able to hold on for too long.
After knowing the situation on the front line, Song Qingming asked Yao Qianshu about Song Yuanli's situation and received a positive reply from the other party. After the name was not on the list of casualties sent from the front line, Song Qingming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After everyone talked in the hall for a while, Li Mufeng, the supreme elder of Xiaoyao Sect, dressed in white, finally walked in from outside the hall.
After glancing at everyone in the hall, Li Mufeng said calmly: "I summoned everyone here, I believe you should all know the reason. Now the situation in Lu State is critical, and the sect needs to send reinforcements as soon as possible.
I asked you to come here to discuss how to support Lingyin Sect. You can tell me what you think now."
As soon as Li Mufeng finished speaking, Guangling Zhenren, who was already white-haired, sighed and said: "Uncle Li, our Xiaoyao Sect has paid enough to support them over the years. Even Junior Brother Lu died on the front line of Lu State.
If the war continues like this, the sect may have to pay a lot of price. Once the sect's strength is seriously damaged, we may be unable to deal with the chaos of monsters in the north in the future."
As soon as Master Guangling finished speaking, Zhao Menglian on the side also echoed: "After the great defeat of Lingyin Sect this time, even Baimeng Mountain is almost undefendable. Even if we send people to support it now, we may not be able to stop the army of Tianhai League.
It is now difficult to compete with Tianhai League with the power of several countries around us. Uncle Li, should we consider letting Junior Brother Chen and others withdraw first to preserve the strength of the sect.
Even if Tianhai League annexed Lu State, it would take a lot of time to completely digest such a large piece of land, and it should not be able to expand again in a short time.
Once Lu State fell, the power of Tianhai League would penetrate deep into the Floating Cloud Mountains, and Wanling Sect would probably not be able to sit still. As long as we can pull them into the water, we will have enough ability to compete with Tianhai League."
In recent years, the only cultivators from some countries east of the Floating Cloud Mountains, such as Wu State and Wei State, have supported Lingyin Sect in its fight against "Tianhai League".
Many sects, headed by the "Wanling Sect" of Qin State, which are relatively far away and close to the west side of the Floating Cloud Mountains, have not participated in this war.
Relying solely on the support of the countries surrounding Lu, Lingyin Sect is indeed slightly weaker than Tianhai League. In recent years, it can only passively defend and has no way to counterattack and regain lost territory.
According to Zhao Menglian's idea, as long as Wanling Sect can be brought in, all the sects in the Floating Cloud Mountains will be united, and their strength will be much greater than that of "Tianhai League", so they will naturally not be afraid of the other party's expansion and invasion.
Li Mufeng nodded slightly and said, "I have already thought about what you have considered. I originally wanted to withdraw all the sect cultivators from Baimeng Mountain.
But yesterday, Situ Laogui sent another message saying that Wanling Sect has agreed to send people to support. If this is true, Lingyin Sect may still have a chance to defend Baimeng Mountain."
"If Wanling Sect is willing to go down, Lingyin Sect still has hope of winning this battle. Uncle Li, we still can't give up on them at this time!"
Hearing that Wanling Sect is willing to intervene in the war in Lu State, all the Xiaoyao Sect elders in the hall, including Song Qingming, showed some surprise on their faces, and had the confidence to fight against "Tianhai League".
Wanling Sect is the largest sect in Fuyun Mountain Range and has a pivotal position in the cultivation world of Fuyun Mountain Range. As long as they are willing to send reinforcements, other sects near Wanling Sect will definitely follow.
At that time, everyone will work together to completely drive the forces of "Tianhai League" out of Fuyun Mountain Range. This is not impossible.
Seeing that all the Jindan elders in the hall no longer opposed supporting Lingyin Sect, Li Mufeng immediately made a decision and sent Li Wutong, Jin Ziyuan, and Song Qingming to lead a group of sect monks to rush to Lu State for support.
When the Xiaoyao Sect arrived near Baimeng Mountain, Song Qingming and Jin Ziyuan went forward to explore and unexpectedly found that Baimeng Mountain in front was surrounded on three sides, leaving only a gap in the north. The "Tianhai League" did not arrange monks to garrison here.
Seeing this situation, Song Qingming and others immediately knew the intention of the "Tianhai League" monks. They deliberately left this gap to give the monks on Baimeng Mountain a retreat, wanting to win without fighting, forcing Lingyin Sect to retreat and voluntarily withdraw from Lu State.
The main purpose of the "Tianhai League" is to expand its territory. If Lingyin Sect is willing to retreat voluntarily, they don't want to fight to the death with the army of monks on Baimeng Mountain.
A sound transmission note was sent to Baimeng Mountain. With the help of the monks of Lingyin Sect, the Xiaoyao Sect members quickly entered Baimeng Mountain. Song Qingming finally met Song Yuanli and others who had withdrawn from the front battlefield not long ago on the mountain. (End of this chapter)
