Chapter 278 Infiltration

In a restaurant in Qinghefang.

Two casual cultivators dressed in ordinary clothes were feasting in a private room.

"Brother Meng, my elder brother asked me to ask you how your plan is going. How confident are you that the raid will succeed?" The speaker was a middle-aged man with a scar deep into his cheekbone.

Opposite him was a big square-faced man with a mustache. Hearing the middle-aged man's anxious question, he looked around and said softly: "Lu Yuanfeng has gone to the Huang family to attend the banquet. Now there is only Song Qingyu left in the market. Please tell my elder brother that we are ready and are just waiting for his order."

"That's good. I will go back to report the news. As for the brothers who sneaked in with me, I will leave them to you to command. Tonight is all up to you." The middle-aged man spoke slowly, and then left here alone.

"It seems that after tonight, Qinghefang will start to change." The square-faced man also muttered to himself.

After nightfall, thousands of lights began to light up in Qinghefang. Song Changxiong, with a relaxed look on his face, took several monks from the Song family who were selected into the law enforcement team and were casually patrolling the safety of the entire market in the streets.

Whenever it was their turn to be on duty, Song Changxiong always habitually took a few people out to stroll around at night. Just as he walked to a corner, two monks wearing bamboo hats suddenly came towards him, and they were heading east quickly. After passing him, Song Changxiong saw that the two monks were still wearing bamboo hats at night. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and turned to shout at the two: "Stop! Whose monks are you?"

When the two monks in bamboo hats heard this voice, they saw that the patrolling law enforcement team stopped them, and they were a little panicked. They gritted their teeth and ran away in the dark.

Seeing that the two did not come to cooperate with their inspection as usual, and ran away without a trace, Song Changxiong and the others were also stunned, not knowing what had happened.

"What an ungrateful thing! How dare you do something sneaky here? I've been too lenient with you on weekdays. Why are you still standing there when there's work to do? Follow me!" Song Changxiong, who was the first to react, smiled and shouted to the distance, and then he led the people around him to chase after them.

The figures of the two groups of people soon began to run around in Qinghefang. Those who were still busy saw that someone on the street dared to go against the monks of the Fangshi Law Enforcement Team, and they immediately became interested, thinking that this time there would be a good show to watch.

However, after a while, they did not wait for the expected good show. Two huge noises, one after the other, instantly shook the entire Qinghefang and everyone's faces showed a trace of fear, not knowing what had happened.

Now, not only Song Changxiong and other monks of the Qinghefang Law Enforcement Team, but everyone in the entire Qinghefang has noticed something wrong, but they are used to a peaceful life. After reacting, many people don’t even know how to deal with this matter, and look at the deep sky in the night in a daze.

Song Qingyu, who was in retreat in the cave, was also shocked by the loud noise. He hurriedly left his cave and came to the market, just in time to meet Song Changxiong and his men chasing several unidentified monks.

"Uncle Thirteen, don't worry about these people for now. It seems that someone is going to attack the market. Hurry up and control the entrance of the market gate and activate the market mountain protection formation!"

Hearing Song Qingyu's reminder, Song Changxiong also reacted. The top priority is not to waste time with these people, and hurriedly led his men to the formation control around the market.

Looking at the mess in front of him, the place that was bombed into ruins, Song Changxiong's face instantly became very ugly. The noises just now should have happened here. The group of people just encountered seemed to have planned it in advance and came for the mountain protection formation of the market.

On the hill more than ten miles away from Qinghefang, Cheng Yilong looked at Qinghefang, which was already lit up in the distance, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He shouted to the many monks behind him: "Brothers, Qinghefang is ours tonight, follow me to get things!"

At Cheng Yilong's order, hundreds of bandit monks from Yingchao Ridge and monks who appeared from all directions have surrounded the entire Qinghefang tightly.

Cheng Yilong and two foundation-building monks took the lead and flew to the top of the market, shouting loudly inside: "Fellow Daoists, today we are only here for money. If you don't want to die, please withdraw from Qinghefang on your own initiative. We will never hurt you. When we go in, no matter who you are, we will kill you all.

Although their threatening tone was very scary, no one in the market dared to respond to them and surrender. After all, most of the people in the market now have families and businesses in Qinghe County, so how could they easily believe these cruel robbers.

Besides, the mountain protection formation of the market is still there, and it stands to reason that everyone has not reached the point of desperation.

Seeing that the words did not work, the three began to use their magic power to attack the protective formation under them, and immediately several earth-shaking noises appeared above the market.

"The power of this mountain protection formation has been weakened by more than half. Everyone, step up your attack. Victory is just around the corner." Feeling the fluctuation of the magic power of the Qinghefang Mountain Protection Formation, Cheng Yilong also knew that the action inside had been successful.

This time, the action of Yingchao Ridge was a good opportunity. Not only did they catch the time when Lu Yuanfeng left, but they also found several control points of the Qinghefang Mountain Protection Formation with the help of the traitor.

If Song Changxiong had not accidentally hit a team of bandits who were destroying the formation in the northwest corner, the control points of the mountain protection formation in the four locations of Qinghefang would probably not be spared and would all be destroyed. Now it would be impossible for the mountain protection formation to protect the sky above Qinghefang.

Yingchao Ridge sent out a total of four teams of monks, but only two of them succeeded. One team was discovered in advance by his uncle Song Changxiong. Another team failed to break through the monks guarding the formation control point in time, and was killed in the market by the timely reinforcement of the market law enforcement team.

However, two core parts of the mountain protection formation have been destroyed, and the power of the formation has been weakened by more than half. It will definitely not last long if it is attacked by so many cultivators outside at the same time. When Song Qingyu saw the bandits suddenly appearing from all directions outside, he began to organize people to guard the market with Song Changxiong with a headache, ready to fight with the other side at any time.

"Uncle Thirteen, the mountain protection formation is now in danger. We only have so many people now. Once the formation is broken, we will definitely not be able to stop it. I think we still have to find a way to contain it so that we can live to wait for Brother Seven and others to come to support."

The signal for help has been sent out, but it's a pity that almost all the foundation-building cultivators in Qinghe County have gone to Taiyuan Mountain. Song Qingyu also knows that it will take about two hours from Taiyuan Mountain to Qinghefang even if the foundation-building cultivators fly at full speed. How to defend the market during this time has become a headache for everyone in Qinghefang.
