Chapter 731: Attack on White Lion Ridge

After the "Funiu Mountain" family discussed and decided on the strategy to expand northward, the entire Song family immediately began to mobilize.

The cultivators outside began to return to "Funiu Mountain" to wait for the family's dispatch, and the family's "Gold Storage Pavilion" also opened the treasury to distribute the supplies needed on the battlefield to the cultivators who were confirmed to be going on the expedition.

In addition to "Funiu Mountain", almost all the immortal cultivation families under the Song family have successively received the call from "Funiu Mountain", requiring them to send some cultivators to follow the Song family to expand the territory to the north.

After receiving the call, the foundation-building families in Qinghe and Pingyang counties immediately followed the Song family and began to mobilize.

Not only that, "Chiyanfang", "Jinshanfang" and "Qinghefang", which are located in the territory of the Song family, also began to post notices to hire casual cultivators to participate in this action to expand the territory.

In order to invite many casual cultivators to participate, the conditions offered by the Song family this time are very generous. As long as there are merits in killing monsters, they can not only get a certain reward.

Those with outstanding merits can also freely choose a spiritual vein below level three from these newly expanded spiritual veins for cultivation, or create a new cultivation family, and in the future they can all be vassals of the Song family and be protected by "Funiu Mountain".

As soon as this notice was posted, it immediately received responses from many casual cultivators in the Song family.

Hearing that following the Song family to expand the territory would give them the opportunity to seize the spiritual veins and create a cultivation family, even some old casual cultivators who had this idea in the neighboring counties rushed to Qinghe County to join in the fun.

Soon two months passed in a flash, and at this time, hundreds of casual cultivators who had heard the news from all over the square to the west of "Chiyanfang" had gathered.

Under the arrangement of the Song family cultivators, these people stood in several rows honestly and were patiently being called out one by one by several cultivators from the market law enforcement team.

On the other side of the square, hundreds of cultivators also gathered, but compared with those casual cultivators with irregular formations, these people were organized into several groups, and their cultivation quality was obviously higher.

At this time, another group of monks in uniform walked towards this side on the street east of the market. The middle-aged man leading the group had just led the monks behind him to an open space when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"I thought Xinyun would lead the team at Lotus Mountain this time, but I didn't expect that it was Brother Gao who came in person. Brother Gao, long time no see!"

Gao Changjin turned around immediately after hearing this, and saw Li Chengyue and Luo Daozhen walking towards him, and immediately smiled and bowed to them in return.

"Fellow Daoist Li and Daoist Luo, be well. Originally, Xinyun should have come, but he just made some progress in cultivation a few days ago and practiced in seclusion, so I had to go down the mountain."

"Oh! Daoist Xinyun is in seclusion again. This time, is he preparing to break through the middle stage of foundation building? I have to congratulate Daoist Gao in advance. When Daoist Xinyun comes out of seclusion, please inform us, so that we can have a chance to go to Lianhua Mountain to ask for a drink."

"Haha! Sure, sure. My Lianhua Mountain has always welcomed friends from all over the world. You two Daoists can go anytime you want. I have a few jars of good wine that I have collected for many years, which is just right for you two."

"Fellow Daoist Gao is generous, so it's settled then."

Gao Changjin and the other two were chatting happily here. On the other side, several foundation building cultivators headed by the Huang family of "Taiyuan Mountain" who were also standing not far away saw this scene, but their faces showed a bit of disdain.

"Hmph! I was wondering why the business in the market has been targeted by the Gao family recently. These old guys really got together a long time ago. Brother Huang, I told you that the Gao family and the Li family have a special relationship, but you still didn't believe me. You can finally see it this time!" "Gao Changjin, I really misjudged him before. This person looks honest on the surface and seems to dare not do anything, but he is quite courageous behind the scenes. He actually dares to get together with the Li family openly. Don't worry, although Li Chengyue has good talent, it is not so easy for him to form a pill. It is not an easy thing. As long as Funiu Mountain does not help him, it is wishful thinking for him to break through the Jindan realm. "

The person who spoke was named Huang Leping, an elder of the middle stage of foundation building in the Huang family of Taiyuan Mountain. The one who talked to him was Chen Ziliang, the head of the Chen family of Tiexian Mountain, another foundation building family in Qinghe County.

Decades ago, the previous head of the Chen family, Chen Yun'an, came to Qinghe County with his family from Tuoyun Mountain as a casual cultivator and founded the Chen family of Tiexian Mountain.

After the Chen family took root in Qinghe County, it has not developed well. Wrong, Chen Yun'an is also relatively low-key. Although he is an outsider cultivator, he has a good relationship with the major local cultivation families.

However, Chen Yun'an was unlucky later. During the last monster riot, he was unlucky like Huang Sibo and encountered a powerful monster, and died directly in the "Jinshanfang".

Fortunately, the Chen family received compensation after the war, and used the foundation-building pill to cultivate a foundation-building cultivator, Chen Ziliang, which gradually alleviated the embarrassment of the family without a foundation-building cultivator.

Although Chen Ziliang successfully built a foundation and took charge of the Chen family, However, due to Chen Yun'an's sudden departure, the status of the Chen family in "Qinghe County" suddenly declined a lot, and the family's survival in the market business was often squeezed out by other families such as the Li family and the Luo family.

In order to get rid of the difficulties faced by the family, Chen Ziliang took the initiative to find "Taiyuan Mountain" and form an alliance with the Huang family to fight against the relentless pressure from the Li family and the Luo family.

After the monster riot, the Chen family and the Huang family secretly formed an alliance, and the Li family and the Luo family also had a good relationship, and the several foundation-building families in the entire Qinghe County gradually split into two factions.

On one side, the old-school foundation-building family "Taiyuan Mountain" Huang family is in the lead, followed by "Tiexian Mountain" Chen family and "Fengtou Mountain" Wang family.

On the other side, the new foundation-building family "Cuilong Mountain" Li family and "Lotus Mountain" Gao family and "Gaopingling" Luo family are allied, and their strength is also not weak.

Among them, the Li family has also developed very rapidly in just over a hundred years under Li Chengyue's leadership. The family not only has Li Chengyue, the patriarch of the ninth level of foundation-building, but also two other new foundation-building cultivators and nearly two hundred Qi-refining cultivators.

Today, the "Cuilong Mountain" Li family has three foundation-building cultivators, and its strength has faintly surpassed that of the Gao family when Gao Yubai was still there, and it has a little confidence to challenge the "Taiyuan Mountain" Huang family, the first foundation-building family in Qinghe County.

Huang Mengde of the Huang family and Li Chengyue of the Li family have both cultivated to the ninth level of foundation-building. Both of them seem to have some hope of forming a pill, but it is not clear who has a greater chance of forming a pill.

Although the two sides have not yet fought openly due to the "Funiu Mountain" Song family, they have already disliked each other secretly and have been fighting for power in the market.

This time, after receiving the call from the "Funiu Mountain" Song family, the six major foundation-building families in "Qinghe County" sent many cultivators to "Chiyanfang" to participate in the action of expanding the territory to the north.

After the two sides arrived here, they naturally divided into two teams and stood in a group. Although they seemed to be chatting, their eyes were always staring at each other from a distance.

Just when many cultivators were busy in the middle of the square, a huge figure suddenly flew in the air outside the market, and then a huge flying boat passed through the market mountain protection formation and came to the sky above the square.

Seeing this scene, many cultivators present immediately calmed down slowly and locked their eyes firmly on the large flying boat in front of them.

This huge flying boat stopped after it came to the sky above the square, and then slowly descended and landed directly on the open space in the middle of the square. After a while, three foundation-building cultivators wearing Song family costumes walked down from the flying boat.

Liu Yuxin, who had been waiting for a long time below, saw Song Changze walking in front and immediately came forward to greet him with a happy face, and then turned around and waved to the leaders of the other foundation-building families, calling them all over.

"Dear fellow Taoists, the ancestors are already on it, please hurry up and get on it!"

Hearing Song Changze's order, Li Chengyue, Huang Leping and others did not dare to say much, and hurriedly called on all the cultivators they brought to the side to board the flying boat.

Then Liu Yuxin arranged for the market law enforcement team to lead the team in batches, and brought all the hired casual cultivators who took on the task on the flying boat. When everyone arrived, Song Changze and others returned to the flying boat and issued an order to head north.

Song Qingming specially went to the sect's "Guyang Mountain" and rented it from Xu Ziyan, the elder of the General Affairs Hall, to transport these low-level cultivators quickly.

Otherwise, it would take more than a month for them to walk from "Chiyanfang" to their destination by foot.

Moreover, such a large team moving in a mighty manner would easily be detected by the monsters in advance. By then, the monsters would escape in advance, and everyone would have worked in vain.

After all the cultivators from Qinghe County boarded the flying boat, the flying boat arrived at the "Jinshanfang" in the north after a long journey. At this time, hundreds of cultivators from Pingyang County had already gathered in the market.

The flying boat had just stopped here, and many cultivators from "Pingyang County" quickly boarded the flying boat under the arrangement of Song Changze and others.

It was not until this large flying boat was full and could not hold any more that it began to take off and head north under the command of the Song family, heading straight for the largest destination of this time, "White Lion Ridge".

The third-level inferior spiritual vein "White Lion Ridge" is located in the northeast of Pingyang County, about 3,000 miles away from "Jinshanfang", which is already deep in the Floating Cloud Mountains.

"White Lion Ridge" was originally an unnamed fairy mountain. It was changed to this name by the cultivators because it was occupied by a white lion demon king who had just formed a pill.

Later, the "White Lion Demon King" was killed by Song Qingming and the sect together, and "White Lion Ridge" slowly became a paradise for a group of second-level demon beasts. Before, there were occasional foundation-building cultivators who came here to hunt demon beasts.

The last time the "White Rhino Demon King" attacked "Jinshanfang", Song Qingyu chased all the way and saw that the other party's final escape direction was also in the "White Lion Ridge", suspecting that this demon might be hiding here.

This is also one of the reasons why Song Qingming was determined to wipe out this place. If this demon has been hiding here, it will also pose a huge threat to the "Jinshanfang" closest to it, and it must be killed to eliminate the trouble forever.

Otherwise, the territory that the family has worked so hard to expand to the north will always be under the other party's eyes, and the days to come will definitely be difficult.

After traveling north for most of the day, the flying boat that has crossed thousands of miles of mountains and rivers finally arrived at a huge mountain thousands of feet high.

Standing in front of the flying boat, Song Changze saw the mountain that soared into the sky, and immediately turned around and came to the outside of a cabin in the middle, knocking on the door softly.

"Come in!"

Hearing the command from inside, Song Changze immediately opened the door and walked in slowly. Seeing Song Qingming and the other two who were enjoying a chat not far away, he hurried forward and bowed.

"Report to the ancestor! We are already near Baishiling, and there are less than 20 miles ahead."

Song Qingming put down the teacup in his hand and nodded slightly, saying: "Well! Tell Yuan Hao and the others to act according to the previously planned action. After surrounding Baishiling, you will immediately attack the mountain in different directions.

Warn them that no matter who encounters the White Rhino Demon King, they must immediately send the designated signal and never let this demon escape.

Anyone who dares to disobey orders on the battlefield will be severely punished according to the family rules."

"Don't worry, ancestor, I will arrange it immediately."

After Song Changze left, Song Qingming stood up again and came to the side, opened the window and glanced at the "White Lion Ridge" in the distance.

Because the Song family suddenly came over with the help of the sect's large flying boat this time, the monsters on the "White Lion Ridge" side did not notice the arrival of the Song family cultivators in advance.

Until a large number of cultivators suddenly emerged from the foot of the mountain and surrounded the "White Lion Ridge" from all directions, the low-level monsters hiding at the foot of the mountain began to flee in panic.

This time, the Song family sent out all the elites of the family to wipe out the "White Lion Ridge" in one fell swoop. Together with the cultivators recruited by the immortal cultivation families and the market, a total of nearly 1,500 cultivators were sent.

These cultivators who went here were basically carefully selected, and their cultivation was at least above the fifth level of Qi Refining.

In addition, in front of these cultivators, there were nearly 30 foundation-building cultivators including Song Changze and others, who had already led the cultivator army that had been divided into four teams and rushed to the "White Lion Ridge" from different directions.

"Leave a team to guard the intersection below, and the others will rush up with me!"

Song Changze, who rushed to the front, killed two low-level monsters that were fleeing in front of him with a sword, and then gave an order to the cultivators behind him, and took the lead in controlling the flying sword under his feet to continue chasing up the mountain.

Soon, many monsters on the mountain also reacted and began to organize to resist the attacks of several cultivator armies. For a time, the entire "White Lion Ridge" was filled with the sound of killing, breaking the original tranquility of the mountain.

There are still many monsters on the "White Lion Ridge", a third-level lower-grade spiritual vein. There are more than a dozen second-level monsters, and the number of first-level monsters is no less than the attacking human cultivators.

However, the human race has a clear advantage in foundation building combat power, and there are six late-stage foundation building cultivators such as Song Changze, Song Yuanhao, Liu Yuxin, and Li Chengyue, who are much stronger than the monsters.

Under their leadership, after only less than half an hour of fighting, the monster armies that came to resist began to retreat and slowly fled to the top of the mountain.

Just as Song Changze and others continued to chase and were about to approach the halfway point of the mountain, a deafening roar suddenly came from the top of the "White Lion Ridge".

Immediately afterwards, Song Changze and others who were attacking upwards felt a pressure far beyond that of the foundation building cultivators coming towards them, which made them stop their steps in a hurry.

The "White Rhino Demon King" is a middle-stage Jindan demon king, with a body of five or six feet tall. It rushed down from the top of the mountain, just like a huge mountain pressing down on the top of the head, which made many cultivators below feel a little scared.

Some timid Qi Refining cultivators were frightened by the pressure of the demon king at this moment. Their hands and feet couldn't help but tremble, and they couldn't help but want to retreat.

"Not good! It's the third-level demon king. Xuanyu quickly sent a signal to the ancestor. Fellow Taoists, form a formation to block the demon king. Others should go to block those low-level monsters first. If anyone dares to escape in the face of the battle, the law enforcement team will deal with them according to the rules of the battlefield."

Seeing the "White Rhino Demon King" suddenly appearing in front of him and rushing towards him, Song Changze hurriedly shouted to the people around him who were still a little dazed, and quickly conveyed the order to stabilize the morale of the army.

Song Linfeng, who reacted, hurriedly took out a golden talisman from his body, cast a spell to turn it into a golden spiritual light and quickly flew into the air.

Then, Song Changze and the other six foundation-building cultivators beside him each held a silver formation flag, and soon formed a second-level upper-grade "Seven-Star Azure Dragon Formation".

This formation was made by Song Qingming in his spare time. It only takes three or more foundation-building cultivators to jointly launch it. Song Changze and the other seven people can resist the attack of the general Jindan Demon King for half a quarter of an hour.

After the seven people activated the formation flags in their hands, a huge light and shadow of a blue dragon soon appeared in front of Song Changze and others. At this time, the "White Rhino Demon King" had also quickly killed in front of them, and the single horn on his head directly released a fierce golden light.

Seeing the golden light coming, Song Changze and others immediately waved the formation flags in their hands quickly, injected mana into it, and controlled the blue dragon light and shadow in front of them to open their huge mouths and spit out a ball of blue flames to directly block the attack of the "White Rhino Demon King".

Seeing that Song Changze and others could actually block his powerful attack, the "White Rhino Demon King" was also a little surprised. He raised his foot and stomped heavily on the ground in anger, and then rushed directly to the crowd.

The huge body of the "White Rhino Demon King" ran wildly, shaking the nearby ground immediately, making some of the lower-level Qi Refining cultivators unable to stand steadily at this moment.

Facing this fierce attack that shook the earth, Song Changze and others did not panic. They changed the magic circle again, making the size of the Azure Dragon in front of them also increase several times, and took the initiative to resist the "White Rhino Demon King" and wanted to stop it halfway.

However, the "White Rhino Demon King" is a middle-stage Jindan demon king after all, and his physical body is very powerful. Although the Azure Dragon light and shadow controlled by Song Changze and others looks equally huge, it is not as strong as the demon king's physical body.

After the two sides collided, the Azure Dragon light and shadow soon showed some decline. It only resisted the opponent for a moment before being smashed into the air by the "White Rhino Demon King".

Seeing this scene, Song Changze and his companions were also somewhat surprised. They did not expect that the Azure Dragon Shadow they had summoned with great difficulty would be defeated so quickly.

After seeing the "White Rhino Demon King" solve the opponent, he roared with some excitement, and then gathered strength again to rush towards them.

Song Changze and his companions could only bite the bullet and desperately inject the remaining mana into the formation flag in their hands, and with the help of the formation in their hands, they transformed the last defensive shield to block the front.

This defense was already the last resort of the "Seven-Star Azure Dragon Formation". If it was quickly broken by the "White Rhino Demon King", then the next fate of them would be to die.

Therefore, everyone did not dare to hide their secrets at this moment, and desperately urged the formation flags in their hands to cast spells to resist the next attack of the "White Rhino Demon King".

Song Changze, who was standing in the front, saw that everyone was already in a very dangerous situation. With a flash of inspiration in his hand, he threw out another blue second-level high-quality talisman that turned into a shield to block the front, adding another layer of defense for everyone.

However, this second-level high-grade talisman was obviously unable to block the full-strength attack of the "White Rhino Demon King" who was already in the middle stage of the Golden Core. It was smashed directly by the opponent's corner after only a slight block.

The "White Rhino Demon King" rushed through the talisman shield and soon crashed directly into the last shield.

In this confrontation, both sides used their full strength. There was only a loud "boom". The "White Rhino Demon King" was blocked by the shield and failed to score a goal. Instead, he was shocked back several steps.

The situation of Song Changze and others was even worse. The formation was broken up by this huge impact force. Song Xuanyu and several other foundation-building cultivators with lower cultivation had been knocked away more than ten feet away.

The formation flags in the hands of Song Changze and others had also been released and fell to the ground beside them. At this moment, all seven of them spit out blood. Obviously, they were all seriously injured by the attack of the "White Rhino Demon King".

The only formation that could fight against it had been broken by the demon king. Song Changze and others no longer had any means to resist the opponent. Seeing that the "White Rhino Demon King" was accumulating strength to launch another attack, everyone's faces suddenly showed a bit of despair.

Just as Song Changze and others were about to separate and flee, a sharp sword light suddenly fell from the sky in front of the "White Rhino Demon King", forcing the demon king who was accumulating strength to retreat dozens of steps.

Feeling a familiar breath in the sword light, the "White Rhino Demon King" immediately looked up in the air and found that the person coming was Song Qingyu who had chased it for hundreds of miles a few months ago. He couldn't help but show a bit of anger in his eyes.

"You retreat first, leave this to me!"

Seeing Song Qingyu coming to rescue in time, Song Changze and others who were still nervous instantly relaxed, and their faces showed a bit of joy. After responding, they hurriedly left the place together.

After Song Changze and his men retreated, Song Qingyu turned to look at the "White Rhino Demon King" and then cast a spell to summon his own life-saving magic weapon, the "Xuanming Golden Light Sword"

"Last time I didn't fight you enough and let you run away. Today you have no way to retreat. Come and try the power of my sword again!" (End of this chapter)
