Chapter 691: Reversing the situation and withdrawing troops without authorization (asking for monthl
At this moment, due to the sudden retreat of the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor", the morale of the demon beast army was obviously greatly affected.
Whether it is the high-level demon kings or the low-level demon beasts below who are in the stage of foundation building and refining, their offensive momentum has been frustrated and is no longer as crazy as before.
After Song Qingming joined the battlefield, he did not immediately assist Song Qingyu and others. Instead, he flew straight to the sky to help Bai Yuxian and others escape.
However, as soon as he flew into the air, a huge Vajra shadow in the white clouds above his head fell straight down from the sky and came not far in front of him.
"Junior Brother Song, where is the Scarlet Cloud Demon Emperor?"
Bai Yuxian and the others, who had just escaped from the predicament, were controlling the "Vajra Heavenly Array" and were looking for the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor". Unexpectedly, they met Song Qingming who came to look for them and asked him a question as soon as they landed.
"Senior Sister Bai, you are finally here. The Red Cloud Demon Emperor has been repelled by us, and now we don't know where to flee!"
"The Demon Emperor Chiyun escaped? What on earth is going on?"
After hearing Song Qingming's answer, several people in the "Vajra Heavenly Array" looked surprised, doubting whether what Song Qingming said was true or false.
However, when they glanced at the entire battlefield below, they found that the mountain-protecting formation of "Guiyunfang" was still intact. The human side was not at a big disadvantage on the battlefield, except that there was no trace of the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" , and then I gradually believed it in my heart.
"Senior Sister Bai, this matter is a bit complicated. Now the Fangshi Formation is in critical condition. It is better to wait until the monster army is defeated and I will explain it to you in detail!"
After hearing Song Qingming's answer, Bai Yuxian nodded quickly and said, "Yes! What Junior Brother Song said is absolutely true. The top priority now is to repel the monster army as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Fangshi Formation fails, our previous efforts will be lost." All previous efforts have been wasted.”
After Bai Yuxian's words, he immediately controlled the Vajra Shadow and led Song Qingming and others towards the battlefield.
Just because the "Canglong Demon King" and other demon kings in Chiyun Mountain suddenly followed the "Crimson Cloud Demon King" to withdraw from the battlefield, at this time, the demon clan's golden elixir combat power on the battlefield did not occupy the human clan's too much power. Many advantages.
After Bai Yuxian and the others joined the battlefield with the "Vajra Heavenly Luo Formation", the strength of the people who controlled this formation was close to that of a Nascent Soul monk. Just dealing with the four of Bai Yuxian, the demon clan was twice as powerful as them. The demon kings must join forces.
With the "Vajra Heavenly Array" helping to contain many demon kings, the human race finally surpassed the demon race in terms of the combat power of the golden elixir monks, and began to suppress the other side in turn. In an instant, it also exerted a huge impact on the demon race. pressure.
The two sides fought fiercely for about half an hour. As the Vajra Shadows controlled by Bai Yuxian and others killed three demon kings one after another, the demon kings were finally defeated and began to retreat from the battlefield.
As soon as the demon king above retreated, the low-level demon beasts below who were in the foundation building and Qi refining stages suddenly seemed to have lost their backbone and scrambled to turn around and head north to escape from the battlefield.
"The army of monsters has retreated. Everyone, hurry up and chase them. Don't let them go!"
Seeing that the army of monsters and beasts finally began to retreat in full, the human monks who had been fighting hard on the battlefield for a long time were finally able to let out a breath of evil and took the initiative to pursue the army of monsters and beasts in front of them.
Above, Song Qingming and other golden elixir monks saw that the demonic beasts were retreating. Many people were also ready to move and prepare to chase the demon king who was evacuating in front of them.
However, just as everyone was preparing to take action, Bai Yuxian stepped in front of them.
"The strength of the monster beasts is still there. Fellow Taoists, please don't fall into the other side's tricks. It's more important to defend the city first! Let's assist Master Li in dealing with the Black Dragon Demon King first. Junior Sister Xu, Junior Brother Song, and Fellow Daoist Wei, I'll take care of you here. You guys are in charge!"
Although they had just repelled the monster army on the frontal battlefield, the losses suffered by the monsters were not great, and their overall strength still exceeded that of the human race on paper.
Moreover, no one knew the extent of the injuries of the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" who escaped. It would indeed be extremely dangerous to pursue him rashly. After hearing Bai Yuxian's reminder, everyone immediately stopped and nodded.
Afterwards, Bai Yuxian and others controlled the Vajra Shadow to fly high into the sky, while Song Qingming and others went to various battlefields and began to command the army of monks that had become somewhat out of control.
"Everyone listens to the order and is not allowed to pursue the army of monsters. Clean the battlefield and retreat to the city as soon as possible!"
As the instructions were conveyed one after another, the low-level monks who were chasing the monster army gradually stopped their pursuit and began to withdraw towards Fangshi.
Seeing that the army of monks outside Fang City slowly stabilized, they began to clean up the battlefield and withdraw to Fang City in an orderly manner. After Song Qingming greeted Xu Ziyan, he returned to Fang City first.
When Song Qingming rushed to the cave where Li Xuanyi was, he found that she had completely refined the elixir in her body, recovered a lot of mana, and her complexion became completely normal. Then she let go of her worries.
"Junior Brother Song, have you repelled the army of monsters outside?"
Seeing Song Qingming return here, Li Xuanyi immediately asked. Seeing Song Qingming smiling and nodding gently, a trace of joy immediately appeared on her face.
"I can't repay you for saving my life today. Senior Sister Li, please accept the next salute first!" After Song Qingming walked up to Li Xuanyi, he bent down to her and bowed his hands in front of her solemnly.
At that time, facing the pursuit of the "Red Cloud Demon King", Song Qingming almost lost his life, and he was deeply moved by Li Xuanyi's initiative to rescue him.
Although Li Xuanyi and he were fellow disciples, in the face of such a life-and-death crisis, Li Xuanyi dared to step forward to help Song Qingming deal with a Yuanying Demon King. This friendship is not shared by every fellow cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation.
When Song Qingming escorted her back, he did not mention this matter too much, because the war outside was urgent at that time. Now that the attack of the demon beast army has been repelled, he should naturally come to thank the other party first.
Seeing this, Li Xuanyi hurried forward to help him up, smiling and waving her hand, saying: "Junior Brother Song, you and I should help each other as fellow disciples, you don't have to be so formal.
Before leaving, the master specifically told us to take care of each other outside, how can I, as a senior sister, watch the demon king bully you.
If he really kills you, who else can help me solve the problem of the technique, then I will come here in vain.
"After all, I have received the great grace of my senior sister who saved my life today, so it is reasonable. Please rest assured, Senior Sister Li, after repelling the army of demon beasts, I will definitely help you comprehend the technique well. "Song Qingming heard this and immediately made a promise.
Song Qingming sometimes felt a little headache when facing Li Xuanyi, the junior sister, in the sect, but Li Xuanyi has been taking good care of his junior brother over the years.
The two who had experienced life and death outside, met unexpectedly in the sect, and their relationship was better than that of other brothers. When Song Qingming occasionally asked him some questions, Li Xuanyi would also patiently answer them.
Even though the relationship between the two was originally good, Song Qingming was still moved by Li Xuanyi's risky rescue this time.
Li Xuanyi nodded slightly and said, "Well! If I didn't believe in Junior Brother Song, I wouldn't have come all the way to ask you for help.
The life-saving magic power given to me by the master was meant to be used at such a critical moment. It's a pity that I couldn't kill the demon king with one sword this time, and let him escape. Otherwise, we might have been able to share a lot of precious spiritual objects. "
Seeing Li Xuanyi sighing slightly at this point, Song Qingming immediately shook his head and said:
"The Red Cloud Demon King has been famous for many years, how could he not have a few life-saving methods. This time, Senior Sister was able to repel it with one blow, which is a great fortune for us, otherwise we would definitely not be able to defend the market in this battle.
Speaking of which, Senior Sister is not only my benefactor this time, but also a great benefactor to the hundreds of millions of people in our Weiguo. After the war is over, the sect will definitely give you a lot of spiritual objects to repay you, and you don’t need to regret it too much. "
"Haha! If that’s the case, then I’ll lend you good words! "Hearing what Song Qingming said, Li Xuanyi's mood suddenly improved a bit, and she responded with a smile.
After the two sat down in the cave, they chatted alone for a long time until a voice transmission flew in from the cave entrance, interrupting their conversation.
"Qingyu came to ask me to go to the meeting room. It should be that Senior Sister Bai and the others have returned. Senior Sister, you should recuperate here first. I will go to see Senior Uncle Li and the others, and then come back to see you!" After opening the voice transmission and taking a look, Song Qingming quickly stood up and explained.
Seeing this, Li Xuanyi immediately smiled and nodded and said, "I'm fine here. I will recover in a few days at most. You can rest assured and go about your business. I will find you if there is anything."
"Okay! I won't bother you too much here. I specially collected these pills for you from the treasury of the market city. I hope that Senior Sister can recover soon. "
After bowing slightly to Li Xuanyi, Song Qingming took out a bottle of elixir from his body and put it in her hand, then stood up and left Li Xuanyi's cave.
After asking Song Qingyu who was waiting outside the door, the two quickly turned into escaping lights and came to the meeting hall of "Guiyunfang".
When Song Qingming walked into the hall, more than a dozen Jindan cultivators had gathered in the hall.
Except for Li Xuanyi and Zhao Menglian who were in retreat to heal their injuries, and Guangling Zhenren who had died in battle outside the market, all the people in "Guiyunfang" now All the Jindan cultivators have gathered in the hall.
Li Mufeng's battle with the "Black Dragon Demon King" this time, the result is as expected, still the same as before, the two fought to a draw, neither of them could defeat the other.
Later, when Bai Yuxian and others came to reinforce, the "Black Dragon Demon King" immediately chose to withdraw and retreat when he saw the bad situation. Although Li Mufeng chased him all the way, he was unable to stop him in the end, and the "Black Dragon Demon King" successfully escaped back to the army of monsters.
"Junior Brother Song, how is the situation with Fellow Daoist Li? Do you need any healing pills? "Seeing Song Qingming coming in, the head of the sect, Bai Yuxian, immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.
After such a long time back, Bai Yuxian, Li Mufeng and others had already learned from other elders of the "Xiaoyao Sect" that Li Xuanyi had previously fought back the "Red Cloud Demon King", and also knew that she was injured and was now in seclusion to heal her injuries.
For her, who almost single-handedly helped the "Xiaoyao Sect" to turn the entire unfavorable situation around, the head of the sect, Bai Yuxian, was naturally very concerned about Li Xuanyi's condition at this moment.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister Bai, Fellow Daoist Li was only slightly injured and was not seriously injured. I have already gone to the treasury to get some pills and sent them to her. I estimate that she will recover after a few days of recuperation. "
Hearing Song Qingming say that Li Xuanyi was not seriously injured, Bai Yuxian was relieved and nodded with a smile:
"Oh! That's good. Thanks to Fellow Daoist Li's victory over the Scarlet Cloud Demon King, we were able to defend the market and turn defeat into victory. When her injuries get better, I will come to thank her in person."
"Yuxian is right. We should reward Li Xiaoyou, who has made great contributions to the sect, and we must not treat her unfairly." As soon as Bai Yuxian finished speaking, Li Mufeng, who was sitting at the top, also stood up and said.
Hearing that Li Mufeng, the elder of the sect, said in person that he would reward Li Xuanyi, many Jindan cultivators present immediately showed some envy on their faces.
Although everyone in this battle was a meritorious minister, it was far from Li Xuanyi's achievement in repelling the Yuanying Demon King and turning the tide of the battle. Therefore, apart from showing envy on their faces, everyone did not dare to have too many thoughts in their hearts.
After praising Li Xuanyi's contribution in public, Li Mufeng turned to face the people in the hall and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, fellow Taoists, you all have made contributions in this battle. Regardless of whether you are disciples of our sect or not, I will reward you according to your merits after the war. I hope that you can work together with our sect to defend this place."
"Thank you, senior, for your reward!" Hearing that they could also get rewards, the people who were envious just now also had a little more joy on their faces, and hurriedly bowed to Li Mufeng to thank him.
Although "Guiyunfang" was lucky enough to repel the monster army today because of Li Xuanyi's action of repelling "Chiyun Demon King".
However, the monster army led by the two demon kings did not suffer too much loss. At this moment, they are still gathering not far to the north of "Guiyunfang" and have not retreated. They still pose a great threat to the market. Now it is not time for everyone to celebrate and relax.
After encouraging everyone, Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian kept Song Qingming alone and asked him about Li Xuanyi's current situation and how she repelled the "Red Cloud Demon King" at that time.
After all, Li Xuanyi was only a cultivator with the fifth level of Jindan cultivation. She could actually repel a Yuanying Demon King who had been famous for a thousand years.
Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian, who had just returned to the market, felt a little incredible after hearing about this, and naturally became more curious about Li Xuanyi's identity.
Seeing the two people mention this, Song Qingming immediately responded to Li Mufeng and the others in detail about the situation at that time.
However, in order not to expose the matter related to the "Taixu Sect", Song Qingming did not mention his master Lingxu Taoist, but said that the sword energy and spiritual light arranged on Li Xuanyi were done by his own elders.
This was also the rhetoric that Song Qingming had already discussed with Li Xuanyi before coming to deal with this matter.
After hearing Song Qingming's patient explanation, Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian were a little surprised, but they did not ask any more questions, just nodded to Song Qingming.
When Bai Yuxian persuaded Li Xuanyi to stay and help guard "Guiyunfang", Song Qingming had mentioned to Bai Yuxian that Li Xuanyi was from a Yuanying fairy clan in the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world, and came to the Floating Cloud Mountains to travel.
There are many talented people in the cultivation world, and it is not uncommon for Yuanying masters to arrange a protective means for their descendants.
However, the protective means arranged by a Yuanying fourth-level cultivator like Li Mufeng obviously cannot have the power to directly force back the "Red Cloud Demon King".
According to their speculation, the Yuanying elder behind Li Xuanyi's family should probably be a powerful Yuanying late-stage great cultivator, who can display such a powerful magical power.
Thinking of this, Li Mufeng and Bai Yuxian paid more attention to Li Xuanyi's identity.
Hearing that Li Xuanyi had injured his meridians in order to perform this magical power, Li Mufeng took out a high-quality third-level healing pill and handed it to Song Qingming on the spot, asking him to take good care of Li Xuanyi, the nobleman of the "Xiaoyao Sect".
Seeing that the two did not ask any more questions, Song Qingming hurriedly took the pill, nodded and left.
After Song Qingming left, Li Mufeng put away the smile on his face and said to Bai Yuxian beside him: "Have you ever asked other people? Is the practice of this Li Xuanyi the same as the one Qingming practiced before the Dan Formation?"
"I have already asked. The practice of Li Xuanyi and Junior Brother Song in the Dan Formation period is indeed somewhat similar, but not exactly the same. There are still some differences. Uncle Li, do you think Li Xuanyi is related to the master behind Junior Brother Song?"
Hearing Li Mufeng suddenly ask about the practice of Li Xuanyi, Bai Yuxian immediately guessed the question he really wanted to ask.
Li Mufeng nodded slightly and said, "Qingming had traveled to Donghuang Country alone for a long time before, and this girl happened to meet him there. I do have some guesses in my mind, but I can't be sure of it yet.
However, if Li Xuanyi hadn't suddenly taken action to repel the old guy Chiyun today, we would have been driven out of Guiyunfang by the army of monsters. I have to say that she helped us a lot this time.
You just need to continue to investigate this matter secretly, and don't be too hasty, so as not to be discovered by others.
No matter what the relationship between Li Xuanyi and Qingming is, people with such a deep background like her still need to make friends with her and have a good relationship with her. Don't offend her, otherwise it may be detrimental to the sect in the future.
"Don't worry, Master Li, I know how to deal with it! ”
——
On a high mountain a few dozen miles north of "Guiyunfang".
The "Molong Demon King", who had just withdrawn from the front battlefield not long ago, looked at the dozen demon kings standing below with an extremely ugly expression.
For this battle, he lent the precious "Liangyi Tianxingzhu" to "Chiyun Demon King" in advance to use against Bai Yuxian and others.
They thought they had already won the battle, but they never thought that "Red Cloud Demon King" would be defeated by a Jindan cultivator like Li Xuanyi, causing the demon beasts to fail in the end and return in defeat.
"How could a mid-stage Jindan cultivator like Red Cloud be so badly injured? What happened?"
Hearing the question from "Black Dragon Demon King", "Flame Tiger Demon King" standing by hurriedly lowered his head and walked forward to report to "Black Dragon Demon King" what happened on the battlefield before, as well as the details of Li Xuanyi's use of green sword light to seriously injure Red Cloud Demon King.
"Ancestor, this woman's cultivation is only at the fifth level of the Golden Core, but the magical powers she displays far exceed those of us Golden Core cultivators. She has at least reached the Nascent Soul level, otherwise she would never have been able to hurt Ancestor Chi Yun."
"Hmph! How could a mere Golden Core cultivator easily display the magical powers that only Nascent Soul cultivators have? There must be a fellow master who used some tricks on her, and Old Ghost Chi Yun was caught in the other party's trick due to his negligence."
After listening to the detailed explanation of the "Flame Tiger Demon King", the "Molong Demon King" said with disdain, still angry about the fact that the "Chiyun Demon King" was defeated by Li Xuanyi.
Just when the "Molong Demon King" was angry, a letter suddenly flew in from the door and fell directly into his hands.
Seeing this, the slightly surprised "Molong Demon King" hurriedly picked up the letter and opened it to check, but soon, a layer of frost suddenly covered his already ugly face.
"Ancestor! What happened?"
Seeing that the "Molong Demon King"'s face was getting worse, the "Yanhu Demon King" standing beside him couldn't help but ask carefully.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the letter in the hand of the "Molong Demon King" was instantly crushed into a ball of powder by him who was furious at this time!
"The old ghost Chiyun and his men have left this place and retreated north to Chiyun Mountain!"
"What! The demons of Chiyun Mountain have all run away. Why didn't they discuss with us and retreat without authorization? Ancestor, what should we do now?"
Hearing the news that the "Chiyun Demon King" suddenly led his men to evacuate, not only the "Yanhu Demon King", but also the other demon kings standing below showed shock on their faces.
Although today's battle, due to the accident on the side of the "Chiyun Demon King", they failed to conquer "Guiyunfang" and retreated.
But now the monster army is still strong and has not suffered too much loss. It still has a lot of advantages over the human race. The "Red Cloud Monster King" left the battlefield without saying goodbye, which was beyond the expectations of all the monster kings present.
This situation suddenly occurred. For them, the biggest possibility they could think of was that the "Red Cloud Monster King" was really seriously injured this time and could no longer continue to fight.
The death of thousands of low-level monsters and even several Jindan monster kings on the battlefield had little impact on the entire battle situation.
However, the "Red Cloud Monster King" suddenly left with his men, which was a heavy loss for the monster army besieging "Guiyunfang", almost reducing their strength by 30% to 40% at once.
In this case, even if their strength is not weaker than that of the human cultivators, it is obviously unlikely to conquer "Guiyunfang".
"Hmph! Chi Yun is such a shameless villain. He has only known how to follow others to get benefits and retreat immediately when he encounters difficulties. How can such a short-sighted and treacherous person achieve great things? No wonder Jin Yu refused to cooperate with him back then."
Faced with this situation, the "Molong Demon King" couldn't help but scold the "Chiyun Demon King" who had withdrawn without authorization. (End of this chapter)
