Chapter 679: Rescue Tuoyun Mountain, fellow Taoist, take care (ask for monthly votes)
After taking on the task of rescuing "Tuoyun Mountain", Song Qingming immediately took the teleportation array in "Guiyunfang" and rushed back to Guyang Mountain.
After receiving two large flying boats from the general affairs hall of the sect, Song Qingming immediately took more than ten foundation-building monks with him and flew directly to the north.
The mountain protection array of "Tuoyun Mountain" market is only the third-level lower grade. At this moment, facing the siege of several times the monster army, it is already in danger. For fear of any changes there, Song Qingming kept urging the flying boat to speed up.
It took half a day, and everyone finally arrived at a location more than ten miles away from "Tuoyun Mountain".
Afterwards, Song Qingming stopped the flying boat, took out the "Phantom Boat" to hide his body, and quietly flew to the direction of "Tuoyun Mountain" first.
Just after passing through a few hills, Song Qingming heard the roar of fighting from the direction of "Tuoyun Mountain". Song Qingming, who was a little anxious, hurriedly accelerated the speed of his flying boat.
After arriving at the battlefield, the scene of thousands of monsters frantically attacking the mountain protection formation of the market was immediately imprinted in Song Qingming's eyes.
Seeing that the market formation of "Tuoyun Mountain" was still stable and had not been broken by the monster army, Song Qingming was slightly relieved. After turning around "Tuoyun Mountain", he found a place where the monster power was relatively weak and sent a sound transmission note into it.
After waiting for a while, Song Qingming saw a colorful spiritual light on Tuoyun Mountain, and then turned back to the location of the large flying boat.
"Seventh Uncle, how is Tuoyun Mountain?"
Seeing that Song Qingming finally came back after so long, Song Xinyu, who had been waiting for a long time on the flying boat, hurried forward and asked.
Hearing this, Song Qingming smiled and nodded gently, saying, "At present, Tuoyun Mountain is relatively stable. I have just contacted Brother Guangling.
There is no demon king in the south of Tuoyun Mountain, and the guards are relatively weak. We will rush in from there later, and Brother Guangling and his men will come out to meet us.
I will help clear the way in front of this battle, and you are responsible for guarding the flying boat. There are many demon beasts this time, and I may not be able to take care of the flying boat later. You must follow me closely and don't get too entangled with the demon beasts."
"Uncle Qi, don't worry, leave the flying boat to your nephew!" Hearing Song Qingming's instructions, Song Xinyu nodded and responded quickly.
"Well! Xinyu, I am still confident in your work, but you must be careful. In case of any unexpected situation, you must protect yourself first."
As the first cultivator of the Song family who successfully established a foundation in the sect, Song Xinyu's cultivation has successfully cultivated to the ninth level of foundation building in the past two years, and is only one step away from the golden elixir realm.
Song Xinyu has a good talent, and he has no shortage of cultivation resources after joining Xiaoyao Sect. However, he had a smooth cultivation in the early stage, but things started to go wrong after he reached the middle stage, and he was stuck at the bottleneck of the late stage of foundation building for thirty years.
Although he managed to break through to the late stage of foundation building after many attempts and taking a lot of spiritual objects, it also delayed his time to break through to the golden realm.
Now Song Xinyu is more than 170 years old. Although he can try to break through to the golden elixir realm as long as he spends a few more years to polish his own cultivation, he has little time left, and at most he will have one or two chances to form a elixir.
In the past six months or so, because the front line of the sect was tight, Song Xinyu was also sent to "Guiyunfang" to fight.
The reason why Song Qingming brought Song Xinyu to "Tuoyun Mountain" this time was to keep him by his side so that he could take care of him at will.
After all, Song Xinyu was about to form a elixir. If there was an accident on the battlefield at this time, his life would probably be completely ruined.
After explaining to everyone, Song Qingming ordered the flying boat to speed up and fly directly to "Tuoyun Mountain", and soon arrived at the south where the monsters were less guarded.
Seeing two giant flying boats flying quickly in the distance, some low-level flying monsters in the monster army immediately surrounded them with some curiosity.
"Start the flying boat formation, speed up and rush over with me!"
Seeing that many monsters had already surrounded them in the distance, Song Qingming, who was standing in front of the flying boat, gave an order to the people behind him, then immediately jumped out of the flying boat, raised his hand and released several sharp sword lights, cutting the dozen low-level monsters in the front into several pieces.
Such a powerful Jindan cultivator suddenly appeared in front of the flying boat, and the low-level monsters flying over were also startled, and dared not to block them, and immediately made way for Song Qingming and the flying boat behind him.
Seeing this, Song Qingming also immediately accelerated the speed with the large flying boat behind him, and soon arrived above the monster army that was attacking the market mountain protection formation, wanting to directly pass through the blockade of the monster army and enter "Camel Cloud Mountain".
The monster army responsible for attacking the "Camel Cloud Mountain" market formation here is composed of more than 20 foundation-building monsters and nearly a thousand low-level monsters in the Qi Refining period.
When these monsters saw the giant flying boat flying overhead, they immediately surrounded it and began to cast spells to attack Song Qingming and the flying boat behind him.
If Song Qingming was alone, it would not be too difficult to pass through the blockade of thousands of low-level monsters below and enter "Camel Cloud Mountain" for him who had reached the sixth level of Jindan.
But this time, Song Qing not only had to go in himself, but also had to bring the two large flying boats behind him safely into "Tuoyun Mountain".
At this moment, facing the simultaneous attack of so many low-level monsters in the foundation-building and Qi-refining stages below, in addition to dealing with the monsters in front, he had to divide some of his energy to help protect the flying boats behind.
Although the large flying boats of Xiaoyao Sect were all equipped with a powerful second-level upper-grade formation, it was still a bit difficult to bear when facing the monsters' collective attack.
If you want to rescue the many cultivators trapped in Tuoyun Mountain, using a large flying boat is definitely the safest way. The two flying boats brought by Song Qingming are the key to the success or failure of this rescue of the cultivators in "Tuoyun Mountain".
Once the flying boat is damaged in the battle, Song Qingming and others' help this time will be in vain.
At this moment, not only Song Qingming, but also Song Xinyu and others standing on the flying boat, have also taken the initiative to jump out of the flying boat, protecting the flying boat around, and using their magical powers to resist the flying monsters that came to attack.
They were all selected by Song Qingming, and they had fought against the monster army many times on the battlefield. They were foundation-building monks with rich experience in fighting. At this time, under the leadership of Song Xinyu, they faced the various monsters that were surging, and each of them was very calm.
Song Qingming and his men had just killed into the sky above the monster army, and the "Camel Cloud Mountain" mountain protection formation in front had also opened a gap. Hundreds of "Camel Cloud Mountain" monks who had been prepared for a long time immediately rushed out of the mountain protection formation and killed the monster army in front that was besieging the flying boat.
The leader Zhang Rong and a dozen foundation-building monks turned into a dozen sword lights, directly crossed the monster army in front and rushed to the vicinity of the flying boat, helping Song Qingming and others escort the flying boat to "Camel Cloud Mountain" quickly.
With the help of Zhang Rong and others, the pressure on Song Qingming and his team was immediately relieved. After killing many monsters, they quickly fought their way through the monster army and arrived not far from the mountain protection formation.
Just as everyone was fighting the monsters and about to connect the flying boat to "Tuoyun Mountain", two escape lights suddenly appeared in the west of the market and flew quickly. They were the two Jindan monster kings who had besieged the market formation in two other places not long ago.
One of these two monsters was a Jindan early stage monster, and the other was much stronger, not much different from Song Qingming, and had reached the peak of the middle Jindan stage.
Seeing these two monster kings in the distance, they had already begun to gather mana before they arrived, preparing to attack the large flying boat in front of them. Song Qingming did not hesitate at all, and directly turned into a light to actively meet the two monster kings, blocking them in mid-air.
Song Qingming was alone, and it was still difficult for him to stop the two demon kings at the same time. Therefore, Song Qingming quickly cast a spell and summoned "Golden Wind". With the help of this third-level Jindan corpse puppet, he firmly blocked the two demon kings.
After fighting with the two demon kings for a while, seeing that the two large flying boats behind them had successfully entered the "Camel Cloud Mountain" mountain protection formation, the relatives were relieved at this moment, and they ignored the two demon kings and directly withdrew to "Camel Cloud Mountain".
Although they finally ran into two demon kings who came to obstruct them, fortunately, Song Qingming lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully brought the two large flying boats into "Camel Cloud Mountain", which was also the first step of completing this mission.
Not long after Song Qingming entered "Camel Cloud Mountain", he soon saw Guangling Zhenren who had just restrained another Yunhe demon king in the east of the market. He immediately took the initiative to salute and greeted this courageous sect elder Jindan elder.
"Brother Guangling, I am here to help you break out on the orders of Uncle Li. I wonder how you are preparing?"
Master Guangling sighed with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Song. We only received the news of the retreat half a day ago. I am afraid it will take another day or two to start evacuating. I need to trouble you to wait for two more days.
Brother Song, don't worry. Although several demon kings outside are besieging us, the market formation is still relatively stable. It should be no big problem to hold on for two more days."
"No problem! I will trouble you to arrange this matter. If you need any help, please tell me. Don't be polite to me."
When Song Qingming heard that Master Guangling had to wait for two more days, there was no surprise on his face. He smiled and nodded.
In order to deal with the monster turmoil, Zhang Rong, Lin Yutang and others have recruited thousands of cultivators on "Tuoyun Mountain" to help them guard the market.
Together with the hundreds of reinforcements from Xiaoyao Sect and the thousands of casual cultivators who originally lived on the mountain, there are about 3,000 cultivators on Tuoyun Mountain.
Although Song Qingming brought two large flying boats, they can only carry more than 2,000 people at most. How to arrange it depends on Master Guangling and Zhang Rong. Song Qingming doesn't want to intervene directly at this moment.
Outside Tuoyun Mountain, there are three demon kings besieging this sacred mountain, two of whom are in the middle stage of Jindan, and the other is weaker but also has the peak of the early stage of Jindan.
Whether it is Zhang Rong or Master Guangling, who is already old and weak, they are not the opponents of any demon king without relying on the mountain protection formation. If the two fight outside, it is estimated that they can only deal with one of the demon kings at most.
Next, evacuate Tuoyun Mountain, and there is another tough battle waiting for Song Qingming, so he also needs to rest and recuperate.
Two days passed quickly. Song Qingming, who was meditating in a cave on the top of the mountain, immediately walked out of the cave after receiving a message from Song Xinyu in the morning and came to the location of two large flying boats on the top of Tuoyun Mountain.
After two days of hard work, most of the cultivators in the market and some important spiritual objects that must be taken away have boarded the flying boats, leaving only hundreds of elderly casual cultivators who could not squeeze into the flying boats and thousands of ordinary mortals.
Fortunately, before the monsters besieged the city, Zhang Rong and others, who had already sensed that the monster turmoil was somewhat dangerous, had already dismissed most of the mortals on "Tuoyun Mountain" and settled them in the nearby deep mountains.
Now, the mortals who remain on the mountain to help protect this spiritual mountain are only a small number of warriors with innate cultivation.
Song Qingming glanced at the hundreds of cultivators who could not board the flying boats and found that many of them had white hair and beards, and they were basically older cultivators.
What surprised Song Qingming was that there was a person standing in front of these people who was very familiar to him. It was Lin Yutang, a foundation-building monk who had been in charge of "Tuoyun Mountain" for nearly a hundred years with Zhang Rong.
Like most of the monks behind him, Lin Yutang was also white-haired and extremely old because of his end of life. However, at this moment, he was still trying to squeeze out a smile and loudly encouraged the people left behind. He still looked very energetic.
Seeing that Lin Yutang was still standing in the crowd, Song Qingming was slightly puzzled. Before he could ask the people next to him, Zhang Rong, who was standing next to him, came to Song Qingming with a somewhat anxious look and bowed to him.
"Have you arranged everything here?"
Hearing Song Qingming's question, Zhang Rong nodded with a somewhat embarrassed look and said, "Everything has been arranged. Except for those who stayed behind to break through, everyone else has gone up.
Fellow Daoist Song, Senior Brother Lin. He insisted on staying to break through with other cultivators. I have persuaded him several times in the past two days, but he didn't change his mind.
You also know his current physical condition. It is dangerous to use his magic power rashly. It is definitely dangerous to stay. I wonder if you can help me persuade him.
After the master left, Tuoyun Mountain suffered many misfortunes. If it weren't for Senior Brother Lin to help me and hold the overall situation alone, I am afraid Tuoyun Mountain would have fallen into the hands of others by now."
Seeing that Zhang Rong's tone was choked with sobs, Song Qingming, who knew the deep feelings between them for so many years, didn't say much. After nodding slightly, he walked directly to where Lin Yutang was.
"Senior Song!" Seeing Song Qingming coming towards him, Lin Yutang, who was slightly surprised, quickly turned around and saluted him with many low-level cultivators behind him.
Song Qingming glanced at everyone with a smile, and immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to stand up.
Then Song Qingming moved his magic power and cast a soundproof ban between himself and Lin Yutang, and then he asked this old friend who had dealt with him for many years:
"Just now I heard that you are going to stay and lead the remaining monks to break through together, I still want to advise you.
Over the years, you have worked hard to rebuild Tuoyun Mountain, and you have contributed to them. The monster chaos is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, so there is no need to worry too much about it."
Hearing what Song Qingming said, Lin Yutang was prepared in his heart, nodded calmly and replied:
"Senior Song's kindness is appreciated. The master handed Tuoyun Mountain to us brothers and sisters, but we have never been able to live a peaceful life as he wished, and we brothers and sisters have also I feel ashamed of him.
Now I am already an old man, leaving with you is nothing more than a few more years of survival, which is not very meaningful to me.
I have just promised in public that I am determined to break out with the people who stayed behind. Whether we can escape or not, killing a few more monsters is my last contribution to Tuoyun Mountain.
I, Lin Yutang, have practiced for more than 200 years in this life. Although I have not done anything great, I am definitely not a person who does not keep his word. I can take back what I have said. Senior, please don't persuade me anymore. "
Seeing that Lin Yutang had made up his mind and there was no wavering in his eyes, Song Qingming was silent for a moment, but still did not persuade him again, but bowed slightly to Lin Yutang in front of everyone.
"Daoyou, take care!"
Song Qingming's courtesy was a sincere expression of his inner heart, a respect for Lin Yutang, an old man who was ready to die.
After so many years of cultivation, Song Qingming has seen too many profit-seeking and self-centered people in the world of immortal cultivation. It is rare to see a cultivator like Lin Yutang who is fearless in the face of life and death for the sake of the overall situation.
"Senior, take care!" After Song Qingming removed the soundproof barrier around him, Lin Yutang smiled and returned a salute, then strode towards the crowd of cultivators who stayed behind.
These hundreds of cultivators who stayed behind are all old and have not much time left. Some of them, like Lin Yutang, voluntarily chose to stay, leaving more escape opportunities for the younger generation, and some were forced to stay after being selected.
However, when they saw that Lin Yutang, a foundation-building cultivator who had the opportunity to leave on a flying boat, was determined to stay and break through with them, most people were still somewhat moved.
After Song Qingming turned around and returned to the flying boat alone, Master Guangling, who had been prepared for a long time, flew into the air with a serious look on his face and gave instructions to the people below:
"Fellow Taoists, the flying boat will evacuate to the south first. You all will wait for the monster army to go south before choosing an opportunity to break out. This way, you can be more certain of success.
Those who are lucky enough to successfully break through must remember not to evacuate to the west side of Iron Fairy Castle, but to try to go east as there will be much fewer monsters there. "
After finishing speaking, Master Guangling immediately returned to the flying boat and commanded the flying boat to start taking action.
Seeing Song Qingming shaking his head at himself after returning to the flying boat, Zhang Rong, who had been waiting on the flying boat for a long time, had a flash of loneliness in his eyes, turned around and walked to the bow of the boat alone.
After bidding farewell to the people who stayed behind, two large airships filled with monks walked side by side and slowly approached the mountain-protecting formation.
A few days ago, Song Qingming led his flying boat into "Tuel Cloud Mountain". The three demon kings besieging this place also guessed that some of the monks on the mountain wanted to evacuate here.
In the past few days, the army of monster beasts has weakened its siege on the "Tuoyun Mountain" mountain protection formation, and has continuously sent out second-level monster beasts to patrol in the air to prevent Song Qingming and others from escaping.
The two large flying boats that Song Qingming and his companions were riding in had just rushed out of the "Tuel Cloud Mountain" mountain protection formation from the south. Several second-level monsters patrolling in the air immediately spotted them and let out bursts of screams to notify the nearby monsters. king.
Soon, the three demon kings who had been waiting for a long time led an army of thousands of demon beasts and surrounded the place where the two flying boats where Song Qingming and others were.
"Everyone, whether we can evacuate safely depends on this battle. Follow me and go out to meet the enemy! Don't let these high-level monsters get close to the flying boat."
Seeing the surging army of monster beasts, Master Guangling gave an order. Dozens of foundation-building monks standing on the flying boat, led by three golden elixir monks, immediately jumped into the air to guard all sides of the flying boat.
If they want to safely evacuate "Camel Cloud Mountain", they must break through the blockade of the monster army in front of them, and what will follow will be a tough battle for them.
If something goes wrong and fails to guard the flying boat behind them, there are more than 2,000 Qi Refining Stage monks on the flying boat. Facing the army of monsters and beasts below that are several times their size, I am afraid not many people can escape safely. This rescue mission will also be difficult. will be a complete failure.
Song Qingming took the lead and stepped forward to block the "Flaming Lion Demon King" with the highest cultivation level and the "Golden Horned Demon King" who was in the early stage of the golden elixir. Master Guangling and Zhang Rong joined forces to fight against their old man. The opponent "Yunhe Demon King".
The remaining dozens of foundation-building monks also fought against the chasing second-level monsters, trying their best to contain these high-level monsters and prevent them from attacking the two airships filled with many monks behind them.
At the same time, the second-level "Feiyun Crossbow" installed on the two airships had also begun to fire arrows, attacking the low-level bird monsters swarming outside.
Among the many Qi-refining monks hiding on the flying boat, some of them are late-stage Qi-refining monks with higher cultivation levels and can use high-level spells. They can also cast spells in the flying boat formation to attack the monsters outside.
There are many monks with lower cultivation levels left. Apart from being able to throw a few talismans at such high altitudes, they cannot reach the enemies outside at all. They can only cast spells with all their strength to help support the formation guarding the flying boat. (End of chapter)
