Chapter 279 Seeking Help
On the Taiyuan Mountain side, Song Qingming and others were still enjoying the exquisite banquet prepared by the Huang family, but they didn't expect that a colorful light suddenly came from the sky and landed on the top of Taiyuan Mountain.
After a while, a young Huang family cultivator hurried over and handed a sound transmission note with spiritual light to Huang Shengxin. Seeing this, everyone looked at the Huang family members in the center of the banquet. .
After Huang Shengxin opened the sound transmission note, his face changed instantly, and he said to Lu Yuanfeng who was standing next to him: "Daoyou Lu, the news from Qinghefang is that a large number of bandits are attacking the market."
"What, Daoyou Huang is not mistaken, someone is attacking Qinghefang!"
When they heard the news from Huang Shengxin, everyone present stood up and showed a look of shock.
When Qinghefang was first established, because Qinghe County was weak overall and its defenses were not strong, it was often targeted by surrounding bandit forces. Several times, the entire market was breached by others, not only were all the property robbed, but also many cultivators were lost.
Later, as Qinghe County became stronger and stronger overall, and Xiaoyao Sect began to pay attention to the experience of the market in the northeast, it sent out foundation-building cultivators to help sit in the city, and Qinghefang finally settled down. Especially in the past 100 years, although occasionally someone would go to the market to make trouble, no one had ever seen anyone dare to attack Qinghefang so blatantly.
Not only Qinghefang, but also many other towns and cities around the northeast corner of Weiguo are like this. It is adjacent to Zhengguo in the east, and Zhengguo is a country that is often in turmoil. Every time there is an internal fight between the two major sects in Zhengguo, many cultivators will flee to Weiguo to avoid the turmoil. After these cultivators come here, they are not welcomed by the local cultivators in Weiguo, so they can't get many cultivation resources. Gradually, many people gather together to become bandits in order to snatch cultivation resources, and start a business of robbing and looting.
Among these people, there are not only cultivators who have fallen from Zhengguo, but also many local Weiguo criminals who have committed crimes and have fled here for refuge. A few years ago, Yingchaoling, which Song Qingming and others went to clear out, was a group of such bandits.
These people are desperate people who only see the immediate benefits. Even if they know that Qinghefang has a large part of Xiaoyao Sect's shares, they will not back down as long as they can snatch them.
Hearing that Qinghefang was attacked, Song Qingming immediately became restless. Now that Lu Yuanfeng was not in Qinghefang, Song Qingyu, who had just established his foundation, was the only one left in the market. Once the market was breached, facing those brutal bandits, Song Qingyu's safety made him frown, and he was extremely anxious.
Of course, he was not the only one who was anxious. After all, Qinghefang involved the interests of almost all the immortal cultivation families in Qinghe County. Once the market was breached, the loss would be immeasurable.
"Everyone! It seems that this banquet cannot continue today. Let's go directly to Qinghefang with fellow Daoist Lu! I hope we can still make it." After discussing for a while, several cultivators at the scene left only Huang Sibo, who had just established his foundation, to gather nearby Qi-refining cultivators, and six foundation-building cultivators including Song Qingming immediately set out to support the market.
Taiyuan Mountain is more than 800 miles away from Qinghefang. Even if the foundation-building cultivators try their best to travel, it will take at least two hours. Unfortunately, none of the people present have flying boats, which can increase the speed of travel, otherwise they can greatly speed up the travel.
After a few loud noises, the Qinghefang mountain protection formation began to shake again.
"Everyone, increase your strength to attack the east side of the market. The brothers who sneaked in have destroyed the formation veins there. The formation will not last long."
Cheng Yilong is the boss of the Eagle Nest Ridge bandit cultivators. In order to successfully capture Qinghefang this time, he also specially found a group of bandit cultivators nearby to help. This time, the two families came with a total of three foundation-building cultivators and more than a hundred elite Qi-refining cultivators, intending to take advantage of Lu Yuanfeng's absence to break through Qinghefang in one fell swoop.
After he unified Yingchao Ridge, he has always been cautious in his actions. Cheng Yilong also knew that such a blatant attack on the market would definitely bring revenge from Qinghe County and Xiaoyao Sect in the future. The reason why he took the risk this time was to grab some money so that he could raise resources for Dan formation in the future.
These bandit cultivators under his command were all extremely vicious and sometimes would not let go of their own people for a little cultivation resource. As long as they could successfully break the mountain protection formation of the market, the remaining guards in the market would naturally not be their opponents.
In the entire Qinghe Market, in addition to Song Qingyu, a foundation-building cultivator, there were more than 40 law enforcement team cultivators guarding the market who were relatively combat-capable. The remaining cultivators in the shops, except for a dozen late-stage Qi-refining cultivators with higher cultivation, were mostly those who were sent by their families to run the market business because of their poor Taoism.
They have been away from battle for a long time, and their fighting skills are basically unable to defeat the cultivators of the same level, not to mention the brutal bandits outside. As long as the market formation is broken, these people will most likely scatter like birds and beasts.
This is not the most fatal. The biggest gap between the two sides now is the foundation-building cultivators who determine the strength. The other side has three foundation-building cultivators, and each of them has a cultivation level not lower than hers. Once the mountain protection formation is broken, she alone will definitely not be able to contain all the foundation-building cultivators of the other side. Once they are free, the Qi-refining cultivators in the market will definitely collapse at the touch of a button when facing a foundation-building cultivator. At that time, they will only have the fate of being slaughtered.
"Qingyu, the other side has begun to concentrate its strength to attack the east side where the formation veins are damaged. It is estimated that the formation will not last long. We still have to think of a countermeasure quickly to see how to hold on until Senior Lu and others come to support."
In the mountain protection formation, the worried second sister Song Qingwan looked at the increasingly fierce attacks of the bandit cultivators outside, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Although the mountain protection formation was activated in time, two formation veins were still seriously damaged due to the destruction of the bandit cultivators inside, and the bandit cultivators outside the formation had obviously noticed this and began to attack the weak points of the formation.
"Send someone to take out all the spirit stones in the market, tell Uncle Thirteen to send all the gathered cultivators to the east. No matter what, we must hold on. Everyone who participated in the guard will be given ten spirit stones on the spot."
Although Song Qingyu was actually panicking at the moment, and it was her first time facing such a dangerous situation, she still appeared to be relatively calm on the surface. As the only foundation-building cultivator in the market, Song Qingyu knew that she was the backbone of the entire Qinghefang at the moment. Once she showed a trace of panic, the cultivators below would probably soon follow suit.
