Chapter 119 The Turmoil Ends

Although Huoyun Mountain was still at a disadvantage and could only rely on a few secondary spirit veins to hold on, the monsters gradually lost their spirit after the Longteng Mountain battle. Apart from small-scale harassment, they never launched a large-scale attack again. The two sides gradually fell into a stalemate in Pingyang County.

Half a year passed in a flash, and good news finally came from Guiyunfang. After nearly a year of confrontation, Xiaoyao Sect finally seized an opportunity. Taking advantage of the monster army's lack of precautions, they joined forces with the two Jindan elders who came to support them to set up a large formation inside and outside to kill two monster kings at once.

The remaining monster kings saw that the situation was not good, and directly abandoned their monster army and fled north to the Floating Cloud Mountains. The monster army without the leadership of the monster kings fell into chaos. The monks of Guiyun Mountain took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack. After a fierce battle, the monster army that had attacked Guiyunfang for nearly a year finally began to retreat, leaving behind thousands of monster corpses and retreating back to the Floating Cloud Mountains.

As soon as the monsters on the Guiyunfang side retreated, the three monster kings besieging Tiexian Valley immediately received the news. These three monster kings have been dealing with Tiexian Valley for hundreds of years, and naturally know that they alone cannot break through here. Knowing that the main force of monsters besieging Guiyunfang has retreated, they did not stay for long, and soon led their monster armies to slowly retreat back to their respective territories.

The two monster kings, Jiuwen Jiao and Baishi, who were still attacking Huoyun Mountain, also gradually lifted the blockade of Huoyun Mountain and led the monster army to retreat back to the Fuyun Mountains. So far, the chaos of monsters in the northern border that lasted for nearly a year in the entire Wei State has finally ended.

After this turmoil, the impact on the Wei State was not bad, and not many territories on which the cultivators depended for survival were lost. Only some low-level spiritual veins located north of Guiyun Mountain and near the Fuyun Mountains temporarily fell into the hands of monsters. The cultivation world of the Wei State survived this once-in-a-century disaster without any danger.

However, although the Wei State has successfully repelled the monsters, the entire northern border monster turmoil is far from over. Many countries near the Floating Cloud Mountains are still fighting against monsters, and some of them are even at a disadvantage.

Zheng State, located on the east side of Wei State, has no Yuanying cultivators in the entire country. There are only two Jindan sects in the country. A few decades ago, these two families fought a battle over a spirit stone mine, which also affected many of the cultivation families below, causing great damage to the entire Zheng State cultivation world. In this monster turmoil, the Zheng State cultivators were beaten back by the monster army. Now one-third of Zheng State’s territory has fallen into the hands of monsters.

There are more than 30 countries near the entire Floating Cloud Mountains, of which only seven have Yuanying Sects. In order to resist the invasion of the monsters in the entire northern border, they will more or less sign a covenant with several neighboring countries to jointly resist the monsters. The two Jindan Sects of Zheng State hurriedly sent envoys to request support from several neighboring countries. It was not until the reinforcements from several neighboring countries arrived that Zheng State slowly stabilized the front line.

Although Xiaoyao Sect also lost a lot of cultivators, the core Jindan ancestors of the sect did not lose anything. Instead, they killed three monster kings near Wei State, winning the final victory of this monster chaos and reducing several opponents for the next monster chaos.

After the monsters around Huoyun Mountain retreated, the Song family and other Qinghe County Xiuxian families, led by the Huang family cultivators, quickly set off to return to Qinghe County.

The team of nearly 400 people when they came here now only has more than 200 people, and many of them are still injured.

Along the way, some people looked relieved after surviving a disaster, while many others looked heavy-hearted. It was obvious that they all had very close relatives and friends who died in the turmoil.

Two more urns of ashes were added to the storage bag of the old patriarch Song Gushan. In addition to the eleventh uncle Song Changying, the fourth elder Song Gucai and the twelfth aunt Song Changyun also died in the battle of Longteng Mountain.

In addition, the fourth brother Song Qingrui lost an arm, and the second uncle Song Changwu and the fifth aunt Song Changling were injured in the dantian in their bodies. These were serious injuries that would affect their lives. Even after recovery, it would be difficult to restore their previous strength.

Almost all the remaining people, including the old patriarch, were injured. Song Qingming was also injured in the internal organs by a high-level giant elephant when he was in Longteng Mountain. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and he has almost recovered now. Fifteen people went down the mountain, and the only ones who returned to Funiu Mountain intact were the ninth uncle Song Changxin and the eighth brother Song Qingchen who did not participate in the battle.

After the death of the fourth elder Song Gucai and the twelfth aunt Song Changyun, the Song family was sad for a long time. The younger generation of cultivators, including Song Qingming, had deep feelings for the fourth elder, the kind old man who had taken good care of them. Even the old patriarch Song Gushan, a white-haired centenarian, grumbled for a long time.

After all, the fourth elder was too old. Originally, he was not among the cultivators selected this time. It was the fourth elder who took the initiative to ask the old patriarch for a fight, and finally he was replaced. Unexpectedly, the younger fourth elder eventually went ahead of the old patriarch.

Now that Song Gucai has died in battle, the old patriarch has only a few years left. The only Guzi-generation cultivator who has worked hard for the Song family for most of his life is the third elder Song Gulan who rarely goes out.

What is a bit strange is that in this monster turmoil, the biggest loss in Qinghe County is not them, but the Qian family cultivators who did not go to the front line of Huoyun Mountain to participate in the battle.

Before retreating, the hot-tempered White Lion Demon King suddenly led some of his demon beasts to bypass Huoyun Mountain and enter the southern part of Pingyang County, attacking several immortal cultivation families, and even the Chifengling Qian family in Qinghe County, which was close to Pingyang County, was also annihilated.

Chifengling was horrible for a while. The second-level spiritual vein that the Qian family had managed for several years instantly turned into a hell on earth. Tens of thousands of mortals and cultivators became food for the monsters without exception.

Fortunately, Qian Guangyao, the head of the Qian family, took some cultivators to Liangshan Lingshi Mine for support and did not stay in Chifengling, otherwise all the cultivators of the Qian family would have been killed by the monsters.

After hearing the news that the White Lion King had broken through Chifeng Mountain, Huang Shengxin, the patriarch of the Huang family, was also shocked. He then remembered the great battle they organized to conquer Chifeng Mountain a few years ago. Although he was not sure, Huang Shengxin had a vague feeling in his heart that the level 2 white lion they killed a few years ago might have something to do with the White Lion King under Huoyun Mountain.

Like human cultivators, the competition between monsters is also very fierce. Even monsters of the same species will fight to the death for territory, but most monsters value their own direct bloodline, just like the core disciples of a large sect. If you dare to attack them, you may be in the hands of the entire sect.

The reason why the White Lion Demon King did not travel thousands of miles to attack Chifeng Ridge was most likely to avenge his bloodline. This could also explain why it chose to attack Jinshanfang in the first place. When Huang Shengxin thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly ordered the Huang family cultivators to seal up all the magic weapons made from the materials of the second-level white lion.
