Chapter 113 Counterattack on Jinshanfang
Since the human cultivators set foot on the continent of Donghuang Xianzhou 100,000 years ago, after generations of expansion, the human cultivators have continuously seized large areas of living territory from the original overlord monsters. In the heyday, there were traces of human activities on both sides of the entire continent, and most of Donghuang Xianzhou was the territory of the human race.
Until 30,000 years ago, this world was invaded by the real demons of the demon world. The real demons wanted to sacrifice a magic weapon in this world, killing hundreds of millions of cultivators and mortals, and killing people wherever they went.
In order to defend this world and expel the real demons, the high-level cultivators from all over the world in the human world united to fight a great battle with the real demons. The battle lasted for hundreds of years, and finally even asked the real immortals who had ascended to the upper world to help, and finally successfully expelled the real demons.
Although the human world finally won this battle, the human cultivators also paid a huge price, and even most of the highest-level incarnation cultivators died in the battle.
In that battle, the cultivators of Donghuang Xianzhou also lost several Divine Transformation cultivators at once. For a while, the power comparison between the local human race and the demon race was also unbalanced. The strength of the human cultivators declined a lot, and the demon beasts gradually began to gain the upper hand.
In the past 30,000 years, due to the weakness of the human race, the power has been shrinking, and the demon beasts have also begun to gradually encroach on the human race's territory.
A few years ago, Song Qingming read a book in Guiyunfang that recorded that 10,000 years ago, the entire Floating Cloud Mountain Range was still the territory of the human race. At that time, the Floating Cloud Mountain Range had beautiful mountains and rivers, many spiritual places, and many large sects of the human race were located.
In a large-scale invasion of demon beasts in the northern border 10,000 years ago, the human race was defeated and retreated, and hundreds of sects were destroyed at once, which led to the loss of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, a great place for cultivation.
After occupying the Floating Cloud Mountains for more than 10,000 years, the monsters gradually gained a foothold. Since more than 2,000 years ago, the monsters in the Floating Cloud Mountains began to invade the south again. Several neighboring countries, including Weiguo, also began to lose their peace and had to endure a large-scale southward impact of monsters every hundred years.
Because of the strength of the previous generation of the Nascent Soul Patriarch of Xiaoyao Sect a thousand years ago, Weiguo forced the Golden Feather Demon King in the Floating Cloud Mountains to sign a non-aggression agreement. When the monsters rioted, the Nascent Soul-level combat power of both sides could not attack at will, which controlled the monster riots that occurred once a hundred years to the range below the Nascent Soul.
It is also for this reason that the influence of the monster riots in Weiguo in the past thousand years has been controlled in several counties in the north, and very few monsters can enter the core hinterland of Weiguo.
In Jinshanfang.
Seeing the army of monsters he had sent out being beaten to pieces and fleeing back, the White Lion Demon King roared in anger, bit a second-level wolf demon that had just escaped, and quickly swallowed the unlucky monster into his stomach.
Thousands of low-level monsters nearby were trembling with fear, and quickly crawled on the ground, making soft roars for mercy.
There are more than a dozen third-level monsters in the area near Weiguo in the Floating Cloud Mountains. Every time the monsters are in turmoil, the leaders are basically these monster kings, and there are very few monster kings from outside. Xiaoyao Sect has been fighting with these monster kings for thousands of years, and is very familiar with their details.
Cao Wanjiang guessed correctly that this White Lion Demon King was indeed not from outside. It has been in seclusion in the Floating Cloud Mountains for nearly a hundred years and only broke through to the Golden Core Realm thirty years ago. It is also because the White Lion Demon King does not often come out that Xiaoyao Sect has not noticed this monster in recent years.
Although the White Lion Demon King has a somewhat ferocious personality, it is considered a hardworking cultivator among the monsters. It has practiced for hundreds of years and rarely leaves its territory. The reason why it left its territory this time is that it has a direct descendant that it has carefully cultivated for many years, but it accidentally died in the hands of human cultivators a few years ago.
The cultivators in Qinghe County, including Song Qingming, do not know that the second-level white lion they killed in Chifeng Ridge a few years ago is the most beloved direct bloodline of the White Lion Demon King. Otherwise, even if someone borrowed a few courage from the Huang family, they would not dare to intentionally anger the demon king.
A few days later, the Huoyun Mountain cultivators who had been prepared began to walk down Huoyun Mountain and headed towards Jinshanfang.
This time, in order to recapture Jinshanfang, the Huoyun Mountain cultivators came out in full force, with more than 40 foundation-building cultivators and more than 1,000 Qi-refining cultivators. Lu Boyang, the Jindan Zhenren, also hid behind the team.
The sporadic monsters encountered along the way were frightened and ran away when they saw such a large team. Huoyun Mountain was not far from Jinshanfang, and the group did not encounter many monsters along the way, and soon arrived outside Jinshanfang.
With Lu Boyang's order, dozens of foundation-building monks flew out of the team and headed for Jinshanfang first. The Qi-refining monks behind them also divided into more than a dozen teams and followed behind these foundation-building monks. Some low-level monsters wandering outside the market saw the human monks attacking and quickly roared to notify other monsters in the market.
Soon, waves of noisy roars came from the whole market, and groups of monsters rushed out of Jinshanfang, and the two sides soon fought together.
Although there are quite a few monsters in Jinshanfang, their overall strength is still slightly weaker than that of the cultivators from Huoyun Mountain. Moreover, the cultivators are more organized in combat, and some cultivators who have formations in their hands even form some formations to fight the enemy, making them far more flexible in battle than the monsters.
In this battle, Song Qingming also used a common Sancai Heqi formation. Together with the old clan leader Song Gushan and the ninth uncle Song Changxin, two of the Song family's highest-level cultivators, they formed a formation to block the rest of the Song family cultivators, blocking some of the monsters' magic attacks for them.
This formation has both offensive and defensive capabilities. After the three of them activated the formation, any one of them could quickly borrow the magic power of the other two to fight the enemy. Even if the three of them were separated, they could still provide support to each other at any time. After the battle at Huoyun Mountain, Song Qingming spent a few days making it temporarily using the ability of the remaining map on his body.
This time, all twelve members of the Song family went to the battlefield. The thirteenth uncle Song Changxiong and the fifth brother Song Qingyuan, who were injured in the previous battle, did not come because they were still recovering from their injuries. The clan leader Song Gushan also applied to the Huang family to specially leave the eighth brother Song Qingchen, who had a lower level of cultivation, on Huoyun Mountain to help take care of the injured two.
Although the Huang family is quite strict in managing their subordinate families, they are recruiting cultivators from the four counties of Jiangling County this time. Without violating the Xiaoyao Sect's recruitment principles, they are naturally willing to take care of their subordinate families.
After all, this time they are not coming out for the benefit of the Huang family. After Song Gushan spoke to the Huang family cultivators, he stuffed them with a few more talismans, and soon got Song Qingchen a place to stay in Huoyun Mountain.
Not long after the battle started here, the White Lion Demon King flew out of the Jinshan Square. Seeing that the human cultivators were attacking the market, the White Lion Demon King opened his mouth and spit out a stream of ice wind, instantly freezing more than a dozen unlucky cultivators who were close to it on the battlefield into ice sculptures.
Just as the White Lion Demon King was showing off his might, a blue light also slashed beside him. The White Lion Demon King hurriedly released his protective spiritual light to block this fierce attack, but he still underestimated the power of this blue light. Although he blocked most of the attacks, a cut was still made on his body, and a blood-red color also overflowed from his snow-white hair.
"Evil beast, if you want to fight so much, let me play with you!"
As the blue light just disappeared in the air, Lv Boyang, holding a blue long sword in his hand, suddenly appeared in the sky above the battlefield and confronted the White Lion Demon King in the air.
After seeing the shocking methods of these two, the nearby cultivators and monsters stayed away from this battlefield. The battle at the Jindan level is not a joke. Even if the Qi Refining cultivators are shocked by the aftermath of their battle, they will die on the spot.
