Chapter 692: The demon beast army retreats and regains lost territory (Happy Holidays)
"That's what the ancestor said! Those people from Chiyun Mountain are all capricious people. They will run away as soon as they see something is wrong. If Mosasaurus and the others hadn't escaped early today, we wouldn't have lost several people. Fellow Taoist."
After hearing the angry scolding of the "Ink Dragon Demon King", the "Flame Tiger Demon King" on the side also hurriedly complained, and then it asked carefully:
"Well, the army of demonic beasts in Chiyun Mountain has escaped. Ancestor, what should we do? Should we continue to attack Guiyunfang?"
"Hmph! After fighting for so long, Xiaoyao Sect is now at the end of its strength. Now is our last chance to conquer Guiyunfang. How can we give up so easily.
Give me the order to continue attacking Fangshi's formation with all your strength tomorrow morning. I don't believe how long Xiaoyao Sect can hold on! "The Black Dragon Demon King" roared angrily, and then issued an attack order with a solemn expression, vowing to capture "Guiyunfang".
At this time, a hundred miles away from "Guiyunfang", the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor", who had already withdrawn his army of demon beasts to the north, was sitting on a flying car and watching the guards who were getting further and further away. Looking towards the country, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Ancestor, if we really evacuated like this, how would Ancestor Molong respond if he pursues this matter in the future? Moreover, White Wolf and Jin Chan are both in Weiguo this time. After we leave, what if Jin Yushan really After capturing Guiyunfang, wouldn’t it mean that we didn’t get any benefits and lost so many monsters in vain?”
The "Mosasaurus Demon King" who was guarding the side took a careful look at the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" and muttered with some reluctance.
"Hmph! When we were here, the two families couldn't defeat each other. How could Jin Yushan monopolize Guiyunfang? You underestimated Xiaoyao Sect too much.
If my estimate is correct, Xiaoyao Sect's reinforcements are probably coming soon. If Mo Long is unwilling to give in, he will definitely suffer a loss, hey! Anyway, this is a matter between Jin Yushan and Xiaoyao Sect, so we shouldn’t get involved too much.
Moreover, the woman who injured me should not be a monk near the Fuyun Mountain Range. She may have some serious background. It is best not to provoke such people for no reason, otherwise it will easily cause big trouble for ourselves. "
"Ancestor, are you saying that there is a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator behind that woman?" After hearing what the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" said, the Mosasaur Demon King on the side asked curiously.
"The person who can arrange such a method should have reached at least the late Nascent Soul stage. Although we demon clan don't need to be afraid of a human race late Yuanying monk, if we really make them anxious, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live peacefully in the future. Let that guy Molong have a headache!"
After "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" finished speaking, he slowly turned around and retracted his sight, then closed his eyes and began to perform exercises to heal his injuries.
At the previous stop, facing the aura sword energy used by Li Xuanyi, although the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" managed to save his life by relying on the defensive magic weapon on his body, his entire left shoulder was severely injured by the opponent and he could no longer perform at this time. He had used half of his strength, which was also the most important reason why he decisively chose to withdraw his troops.
After practicing for thousands of years, he finally broke through to the realm of Nascent Soul and became the overlord Demon Emperor. Although the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" also likes to expand his territory and expand his own power, he does not want to put himself in danger because of this.
On the third day, when they saw an army of monsters coming like a tide, they appeared outside the Fangshi formation and stood on the wall of the "Xiaoyao Sect". There was no look of surprise on their faces.
Although they successfully repelled the monster army yesterday, the "Guiyunfang" side also suffered heavy losses. The real person Guangling fell, and Zhao Menngling, Hu Qingyun and Li Xuanyi also failed to come out to participate in the battle due to their injuries. "Yunfang" is missing four people.
However, this time without the help of "Crimson Cloud Mountain", the strength of the monster army led by "Molong Demon Emperor" was also weakened a lot. Even if they tried their best, they could only draw a tie with the "Xiaoyao Sect" , and failed to take a step forward to conquer the "Guiyunfang" mountain protection formation.
Seeing that the "Crimson Cloud Demon Emperor" and the demon beasts from Chiyun Mountain did not appear all day long, and the people of the "Xiaoyao Sect" who did not know that they had evacuated, they thought that the other party was ambushing somewhere, and they were nervous all day long. They didn't see the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor" come out either.
At dusk on the third day, not long after the battle, a green light suddenly flew quickly from a distance, landed outside the "Guiyunfang" mountain protection formation, and turned into a green flying boat.
A Taoist priest in green standing in front of the flying boat saw that the mountain protection formation of "Guiyunfang" was still in front of him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Haha! The Guiyunfang Mountain Protection Formation has not been breached yet. It seems that Li Mufeng and the others have not chosen to withdraw!" After muttering to himself, the Qingyi Taoist reached out and took out a red message transmission and threw it directly into the formation.
After a while, everyone from the "Xiaoyao Sect" headed by Li Mufeng came out to greet them.
Seeing the middle-aged Taoist in front of him, Li Mufeng hurriedly smiled and went up and took the initiative to cup his hands and said: "Haha! Fellow Taoist Yang, you are finally here. You really made me wait and wait for a long time. It's been very hard!"
In the world of immortal cultivation in the Fuyun Mountains, every time there is a monster turmoil once in a century, although all countries will face attacks from the monster army, after they are able to solve their own troubles, the nearby major sects with good relations will often support each other.
In the past, every time the "Xiaoyao Sect" defeated the monster army of the Wei Kingdom, it would also send an army of monks to support other nearby countries that were at a disadvantage when facing the monster army.
After discovering that the "Red Cloud Demon King" and the Jinyu Mountain monster army jointly attacked Weiguo, Li Mufeng immediately sent a message to the nearest Yuanying Sect "Tianji Sect" for help. The middle-aged Taoist was Yang Fengyu, the Yuanying Grand Elder of Tianji Sect who dared to come to support.
Shangyang State, where the "Tianji Sect" is located, is located in the southeast of the Fuyun Mountains, tens of thousands of miles away from Weiguo. After receiving the urgent letter for help from the "Xiaoyao Sect", Yang Fengyu immediately took four Jindan monks to come to support.
However, because the two places are far apart, even if Yang Fengyu took turns to drive the flying boat to speed up the journey, it still took several days to get to "Guiyunfang".
Seeing the arrival of the reinforcements from the "Tianji Sect", the morale of many monks defending the city in "Guiyunfang" was immediately boosted. After Li Mufeng and Yang Fengyu discussed it that night, they soon decided on a plan to counterattack the monster army.
At this time, the "Black Dragon Demon King" who still held a glimmer of hope to conquer "Guiyunfang" did not know that the "Xiaoyao Sect" had already sent reinforcements. He led the army of monsters to besiege the market formation early the next morning.
Not long after the battle began, while the "Black Dragon Demon King" was fighting with Li Mufeng, Yang Fengyu and others who were hiding in the mountain protection formation took the opportunity to cleverly kill out and besieged the defenseless "Black Dragon Demon King" together with Li Mufeng.
Although the "Black Dragon Demon King" was not weak in strength, he was immediately at a disadvantage when facing the siege of two mid-Nascent Soul cultivators. Although he finally escaped the pursuit of the two, the "Black Dragon Demon King" was also injured by Li Mufeng's magic weapon and no longer had the arrogance before.
After defeating the "Black Dragon Demon King" head-on, the "Guiyunfang" cultivator army immediately entered a counterattack state. As the Jindan Demon Kings fled in panic, the monster army that besieged "Guiyunfang" soon turned around and fled north.
At this time, a group of cultivators who had been prepared in advance, led by Li Xuanyi and Song Qingyu, rushed out from the rear of the monster army, catching these monsters off guard, and the scene immediately became a scene of defeat.
"The monster army has retreated, everyone follow me to kill the enemy and make merit! ”
With the order from the Jindan cultivator above, the cultivator army outside the market immediately pursued the enemy and did not stop until the monster army was defeated and retreated a hundred miles away!
In this battle, the cultivators of "Guiyunfang" not only defeated the "Molong Monster King", but also killed four monster kings and many low-level monsters in the foundation building and Qi refining stages, totaling as many as five or six thousand. In one battle, they severely damaged the invading monster army.
Although the cultivators of "Guiyunfang" also paid a certain price in this battle, the "Xiaoyao Sect" was able to successfully defeat the monster army that had besieged "Guiyunfang" for more than half a year, relieving their imminent crisis, which was also a great victory.
Led by the "Molong Monster King", the Jinyushan side fled hundreds of miles to the north before slowly stopping and looking at the The demon beast army, which had already suffered heavy losses, "Molong Demon King" finally recognized the fact at this moment, and led the remaining demon beast army to retreat directly to the north and back to the Floating Cloud Mountains.
After defeating the demon beast army under the command of "Molong Demon King" in one battle, the faces of the people of "Xiaoyao Sect" finally showed a bit of relief.
Since the demon beast turmoil for more than half a year, "Xiaoyao Sect" has been suppressed by the demon beast army almost throughout the turmoil, facing crises several times, not only lost "Tuoyun Mountain", "Iron Fairy Fort" and the entire northwest of Weiguo, but also almost broke through "Guiyunfang", the most important market in the north of the sect.
This time, the demon beast army was finally repelled head-on, and the Weiguo monks who had been suppressed for a long time finally raised their heads and returned to "Guiyunfang". After returning to "Guiyunfang", almost all the "Xiaoyao Sect" disciples showed a little more joy on their faces.
Although this monster riot was extremely dangerous at first, the entire Weiguo monks showed a very rare unity on the battlefield in order to defend "Guiyunfang". The "Xiaoyao Sect" alone lost almost thousands of disciples outside "Guiyunfang", which was also a serious loss for the entire sect.
However, although the war was very fierce, fortunately, the "Xiaoyao Sect" still fought hard and persisted, and finally waited for reinforcements from all directions, turned defeat into victory and defeated the monster army.
A few days after the battle of "Guiyunfang", seeing that the monster army had retreated northward and showed no signs of returning, the monks of "Tianji Sect" and "Zhenyang Sect" also said goodbye and left Weifang one after another. country, and returned to his own sect territory.
After the two sect cultivators left, on the second day, Li Mufeng immediately sent an order to summon all the Jindan cultivators in "Guiyunfang" to the meeting hall of the market.
Song Qingming, who had just received the sect's order and rushed here, saw that the core cultivators of the sect were basically all here, and even Zhang Rong and others were here. He probably guessed Li Mufeng's intention of summoning everyone here, which should be to prepare to recover the other lost lands in the north of Weiguo that were still in the hands of monsters.
"I have received news from Zhengguo, confirming that the monsters in Chiyun Mountain have left our Weiguo, and Jinyu Mountain has also withdrawn to the Floating Cloud Mountains. Now there are not many monsters left in our Weiguo. It is the best time for us to send troops to recover the northwest territory.
Your troops are so fast. I decided to organize a large army of cultivators to attack Tuoyun Mountain and Tiexian Fort in two days to recover these two sacred mountains in one fell swoop. I summoned everyone here today to discuss this matter with you all.
This battle must be fought quickly, otherwise once the Black Dragon Demon King reacts and responds, it will not be as easy for us to recapture these two places as before."
After saying hello to everyone, Li Mufeng quickly got into the main topic of the discussion. As expected, just as Song Qingming thought, Li Mufeng's move was precisely to regain the northwest territory of the Wei Kingdom.
Hearing the news that the sect was determined to regain the lost territory, everyone present was very excited and nodded in agreement, especially Zhang Rong who was already homesick and eager to regain "Tuo Yun Mountain". At this moment, his face He could no longer hide the joy in his heart.
Seeing that no one present raised any objections, Li Mufeng also announced on the spot the candidates to participate in the campaign and the specific time for sending troops.
Chen Xuanxin and Song Qingming were responsible for leading an army of monks to recover "Tuoyun Mountain" together with the casual cultivators of "Tuoyun Mountain" commanded by Zhang Rong. Bai Yuxian, Jin Ziyuan, and Zhang Tieyang were responsible for recovering "Iron Fairy Castle" and nearby lost ground.
Hearing that Li Mufeng actually arranged for Zhang Tieyang to participate in this operation, many "Xiaoyao Sect" Jindan elders present were a little strange. They didn't understand why Li Mufeng specially arranged for him to help recover "Iron Immortal Castle", and they all expressed their gratitude to the people standing there. Zhang Tieyang, who always had a smile on his face, gave him a somewhat puzzled look.
Zhang Tiecheng, like Li Xuanyi, was invited to help protect the city of "Guiyunfang". Now that the sect has defeated the army of monsters, logically speaking, his mission has been completed. He only needs to stay and wait. Just celebrate and receive the reward, there is no need to continue to intervene in the "Xiaoyao Sect" to regain the lost territory.
Now Li Mufeng specifically asked him to help the sect regain the "Iron Immortal Castle" by name. He obviously had a different intention, but everyone present did not know the specific situation.
Seeing this, Bai Yuxian, the leader who was standing aside, immediately explained: "Everyone knows that Zhang Daoyou has accepted the invitation of our sect not long ago and became the guest elder of the sect. However, due to the emergency of the war, he did not have time to announce it to the public. Regarding this matter, I just take this opportunity to say hello to everyone in advance.
After the war in the north ends, the sect will find time to hold an additional entrance ceremony for Junior Brother Zhang and publicly announce the matter. "
As soon as Bai Yuxian finished speaking, Zhang Tieyang on the side immediately put a smile on his face and said to everyone in the hall: "Haha! Thank you for the heads up, senior sister. Zhang is new here. I hope all senior brothers and sisters will take more care of you in the future." two."
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Zhang!"
After hearing Bai Yuxian's explanation, everyone who was still a little surprised quickly returned the gesture to Zhang Tieyang.
Knowing that Zhang Tieyang was going to join the sect and become the guest elder, Song Qingming was also very surprised at the moment. When he first saw Zhang Tieyang coming to support "Guiyunfang", Song Qingming thought that he, like Li Xuanyi, was also taken out by the sect. They were moved by some precious spiritual creature and came to help them fight against the army of monsters.
Unexpectedly, in order to win over this person, the "Xiaoyao Sect" would actually agree to let him join the sect and become a guest elder. Song Qingming did not expect this.
You must know that large Nascent Soul sects like "Xiaoyao Sect" are very strict in recruiting disciples. Those who can join the sect halfway and become Keqing elders are basically monks with clean backgrounds in Weiguo like Song Qingming or Hu Qingyun. Generally speaking, foreign golden elixir monks will not be accepted casually to join.
This is also to prevent some hostile sects from sending people into the interior and waiting for opportunities to steal sect secrets. There are also some bandit cultivators or demonic cultivators with unknown origins. Once they are mixed into Guyang Mountain, it will also be a disaster for the sect. A very dangerous thing.
Although I was a little surprised, considering that the "Xiaoyao Sect" had been forced into a desperate situation by the army of monsters before, and it was recruiting monks from all over to help guard "Guiyunfang", it is indeed understandable that they would make an exception and agree to Zhang Tieyang's joining the sect.
However, Zhang Tieyang joined the "Xiaoyao Sect" probably not just for the sake of an elder.
Decades ago, Zhang Tieyang came to Weiguo and asked for a third-level spiritual vein to live in. At that time, in order to obtain "Tuoyun Mountain", he even took the initiative to visit Song Qingming. However, due to the obstruction of the former head Yao Qianshu, he did not accept the request. He didn't get what he wanted.
This time he took the risk to come to Weiguo to help the "Xiaoyao Sect" resist the army of monsters. It is estimated that he came here for this purpose, but Song Qingming was not very clear about what conditions the sect agreed to Zhang Tieyang.
"Tuoyun Mountain" and "Iron Fairy Castle" have only been in the hands of monsters for a month. Although the main spiritual mountains have been swept away by the monster army, there are still many mortals hiding in the nearby barren mountains. and low-level monks.
At this moment, they are facing the threat of monsters all the time. In order to minimize some losses, the "Xiaoyao Sect" must seize the time and quickly drive out the monster armies in the two places.
After receiving the order from Li Mufeng, Song Qingming, Bai Yuxian, Li Wutong and other sect elders immediately started their preparations. Two days later, they took large flying boats and attacked "Tuoyun Mountain" and "Tiexian Fort" in two directions. , before the army of monsters in the north could react, they launched an operation to regain the lost territory in the northwest of the Wei Kingdom.
Because the main force of the monster army went to the front line of "Guiyunfang" to help attack the Fangshi formation, there was only an average "Yunhe Demon King" and many low-level subordinates under him left in the "Iron Fairy Castle". Level monster.
This monster is always very slippery when dealing with human cultivators. When it saw Bai Yuxian and several other Jindan cultivators from the Xiaoyao Sect approaching the Lingshan Mountain of Tiexianbao, the Yunhe Monster King, who saw the situation was not good, immediately chose to abandon the many low-level monsters around him and fled north alone.
"The Yunhe demon king has cultivated a very powerful speed escape ability, which is difficult for ordinary late Jindan cultivators to catch up with. Seeing the demon king's figure quickly disappearing in the sky, Bai Yuxian and others who were eager to recapture Lingshan did not choose to chase him, but directly commanded the cultivator army to rush into the "Iron Immortal Castle".
In just over half an hour, the remaining demon beast forces in the "Iron Immortal Castle" were cleared out, and the Lingshan Mountain in the northwest of Weiguo that was occupied by the demon beast army not long ago was recaptured.
"Camel Cloud Mountain" was also very smooth. Under the leadership of Chen Xuanxin, Song Qingming, and Zhang Rong, they quickly defeated the demon beast army entrenched here, drove all the demon beasts on the mountain out of "Camel Cloud Mountain", and the human cultivators also recaptured this place.
The demon king who occupied this place in the early Jindan stage was relatively average in strength. Among the three Jindan Under the siege of the monks, he died under Chen Xuanxin's sword without even a chance to escape.
After retaking "Camel Cloud Mountain", Song Qingming immediately took a dozen second-level formation masters specially brought by his subordinates to repair the mountain protection formation that had been damaged by the monster army.
Compared with the previous time when the Ma family broke through "Camel Cloud Mountain" and only looted many spiritual objects in the market, without causing too much damage, this time after the monster army broke through the Lingshan, almost the entire Lingshan was destroyed by monsters everywhere, and the loss was much greater than last time.
The third-level mountain protection formation that Song Qingming had reinforced was also severely damaged in several places. Everyone worked together for nearly a month and spent a lot of high-level materials from the sect to barely repair the mountain protection formation.
Looking at the severely damaged "Camel Cloud Mountain", those who have lived here for many years Zhang Rong and others were in grief, but they seemed helpless. They could only lead the monks of "Jinyun Pavilion" to rebuild and repair the houses on Lingshan Mountain, while looking for the low-level monks and mortals who were lost in the surrounding mountains.
It's a pity that among the hundreds of monks and mortal martial artists who stayed with Lin Yutang to break out, only a few of them were lucky enough to break out of the monsters and survived. Most of them died on the way to break out and didn't have the chance to return to "Tuoyun Mountain".
Fortunately, the monster army did not occupy the vicinity for a long time. Those mortals who were transferred out by Zhang Rong and others in advance were not discovered by the ferocious monsters. They survived strongly and began to gradually return to "Tuoyun Mountain" where they lived all year round and began to rebuild their homes.
Compared with the severely damaged "Tuoyun Mountain" by the monster army, The overall losses of "Tuoyun Mountain" and "Iron Immortal Castle" are even greater. This place has been developed by the "Xiaoyao Sect" and the Ma family for many years. The resources such as the market and mineral veins in the territory are very rich, and the number of mortals is much larger than that of the northeast of Weiguo controlled by the Song family.
After being captured by the monster army, "Iron Immortal Castle" is now full of ruins. The numerous mineral veins, market towns in the territory, and the sacred mountains of hundreds of large and small Xiuxian families scattered around have almost been swept by the monster army. The overall loss has exceeded that of Gaoyun County in the past.
