Chapter 1619: The Spiritual Demon King

Two Jindan cultivators led the way in front, and Hongguang Zhenjun followed behind, heading towards the small hill mentioned earlier. Although he knew which Jindan cultivators were more dangerous, Hongguang Zhenjun did not rush at full speed. This was not only cautious, but also because he knew that those Jindan cultivators could still withstand it.

Although the Nascent Soul Stage and the Golden Core Stage are two completely different realms with a huge gap in strength, if the number of Golden Core cultivators reaches a certain level, they still have some self-protection ability when facing the Nascent Soul Stage. Hongguang Zhenjun believes that the more than 20 Golden Core cultivators can at least hold out for one or two hours.

As for Qingyang, he has been mixed in the team of Qi Refining cultivators, but he always pays attention to the movements here. He has heard everything that happened before. In the small Funiu City, the strongest are only Jindan cultivators. There are actually Nascent Soul demon cultivators planning the siege behind the scenes. This is a bit strange. There must be some unknown reasons. Seeing that the answer is about to be revealed, Qingyang will certainly not miss it, so he found an opportunity to slip out of the city and head towards the small hill.

The Jindan and Yuanying cultivators traveled at a normal speed. It only took two quarters of an hour to travel a distance of a hundred miles. Hongguang Zhenjun soon arrived near the hillside, and Qingyang was not much slower than them. However, he did not show up immediately, but continued to hide behind using the breath-retaining technique.

Hundreds of monsters gathered around the hillside, and the lowest strength was at level five or six. Perhaps those monsters also knew that in a battle with high-level cultivators, monsters of level four and below would not only be of no help, but might also cause trouble, so those low-level monsters were driven away.

On the hillside, the more than 20 Jindan cultivators were surrounded in the middle. They were fighting against more than a dozen Jindan-level monsters, and the hundreds of monsters were outside. The number of Jindan-level monsters here was obviously more than the previous siege. It seems that the monsters had also hidden their strength before.

Under siege, the strength of Jindan-level monster beasts is stronger than that of Jindan monks. A dozen monster beasts are enough to deal with more than 20 Jindan monks, not to mention that there are hundreds of fifth- and sixth-level monster beasts outside. If Hongguang Zhenjun did not rescue them, few of these people would be able to escape alive.

This group of Jindan monks have been besieged for at least half an hour. The half-hour of uninterrupted fighting has caused these people to suffer heavy losses. Among them, four or five people have completely lost their combat effectiveness, six or seven are seriously injured, and the remaining dozen are almost all injured. If they did not know that Hongguang Zhenjun, a Yuanying monk, would come with them this time, and Hongguang Zhenjun would definitely come to rescue them, they might have abandoned their companions and broke through separately. At this time, the dozen monks protected the seriously injured in the middle, desperately resisted the attacks of the surrounding monsters, and waited for Hongguang Zhenjun to rescue them.

As for the monsters, the situation was much better. Although there were some injuries, it did not affect the battle. They had surrounded the monks and knew that they had won. They just tried to delay the monks as much as possible so that they could not escape. Spending more time would always kill these people.

On the other side of the hillside, there was a young man with a stern expression. He had green hair, thin eyes and pointed ears, and some spots on his face. He seemed to be different from normal human monks. His aura was hidden from time to time. He was about between the second and third levels of the Nascent Soul. However, his eyes were not on the battlefield. He seemed to be thinking with his head down. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, his ears moved, as if he felt something, so he raised his head and saw Hongguang Zhenjun who was rushing here. His eyes narrowed and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Hongguang Zhenjun also happened to see this person, snorted coldly, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.

Seeing the appearance of Hongguang Zhenjun, the surrounded Jindan cultivators breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally saved, and the Jindan monsters also temporarily slowed down their attacks. Both sides had Yuanying cultivators present, and the key to winning or losing had shifted to the Yuanying cultivators.

Hongguang Zhenjun looked at the young man and said, "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be the Qingling Demon King of Hengyun Mountain. What do you want to do by leading the monsters to attack my Funiushe City?"

The Yuanying demon cultivator known as the Qingling Demon King smiled coldly and said, "What a joke. In this demon spirit domain, do we need a reason for our demon beasts to attack the city of human cultivators?"

What the Qingling Demon King said still made sense. This is the demon spirit domain, the territory of the monsters. The monsters have an absolute advantage here, and the human cultivators are very weak.

Just like there are monsters living in the Fairy Realm, there are also many human monks in the Demon Realm, but the living conditions are not so good. They can only survive in the cracks of the monsters, and are even enslaved by high-level monsters. Perhaps the monster kings above think that keeping these human monks is still useful, or they are worried that a large-scale massacre of human monks will cause a fierce reaction from the monks in the Fairy Realm, or they simply don’t care about these human monks, so those high-level monster kings did not kill all the human monks living here, giving them a certain living space.

The conditions in the Demon Realm are very suitable for monsters to live. There are a lot of low-level monsters, but because of the influence of blood, it is particularly difficult for monsters to advance, so there are very few high-level monsters. Monsters are not like human monks, who can rely on external objects such as elixirs. The best way is to use battles to stimulate the potential of monsters, promote their advancement, and eliminate some with low potential.

For those high-level demon kings who have already transformed, low-level demon beasts are just wild beasts, merely tools for them to drive. It doesn't matter how many of them die. They cannot be completely counted as the same kind. Only the golden elixir demon beasts that have developed intelligence can barely be taken seriously by them.

Because of this, the monsters would organize monster attacks every once in a while, and the human monks acted as a whetstone. Although the human monks suffered a lot of losses every time, they were not without gain. The battle was also an opportunity for the monks to train and stimulate their potential. If they could survive the battle, not only would their strength increase greatly, but they would also gain a lot of cultivation resources.

However, such monster attacks always had signs. The two sides would form a tacit understanding, including time intervals, scale, etc. The two sides would prepare in advance. When the battle started at a certain time, if the human monks could withstand the siege, the monsters would naturally retreat. If they could not withstand it and caused the lives of the people to be destroyed, they could only admit that they were unlucky, after all, the monsters were the overlords of this place.

Of course, there was also a sudden one, such as some human monks angered a certain monster king, and the other party was furious and wanted to flatten a certain city, or a certain hot-tempered monster king simply disliked a place, but this kind of scale was not large and was easier to calm down.
