Chapter 480 Reinforcements Arrive

Fortunately, Chen Jinliang had already broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core on Tuoyun Mountain. With the help of him and many cultivators on Tuoyun Mountain, the Ma family survived the following monster riots.

In the past monster riots, because of the good relationship with Chen Jinliang, Tiexian Fort and Tuoyun Mountain have always watched and supported each other. Although there was some pressure occasionally, they generally guarded the northeast of Weiguo for hundreds of years without any danger.

But this time, with the death of Chen Jinliang, Tuoyun Mountain was also a little overwhelmed. At first, Ma Hongshan did not have any hope for Tuoyun Mountain. He also tried to trick Feng Yangde into giving up Tuoyun Mountain and bringing his cultivators to concentrate their forces to help him defend Tiexian Fort, but Feng Yangde rejected his proposal without even thinking about it.

Later, when he learned that Feng Yangde had defeated the Yunhe Monster King, Ma Hongshan was also surprised and quickly sent Tuoyun Mountain several letters for help with hope.

However, what Ma Hongshan did not expect was that Feng Yangde acted completely differently from Chen Jinliang. Facing the request for help from Tiexianbao, Feng Yangde just kept finding various reasons and excuses to shirk. After knowing Feng Yangde's attitude, Ma Hongshan knew very well that the Ma family basically could not count on this reinforcement.

"Tuoyunshan is temporarily unreliable. Has there been any news from the sect?"

"Except for the two letters from Senior Yang half a year ago, there has been no news so far. I heard that the situation in Guiyunfang is not very good. But now we are trapped here by monsters, and the news is very closed. I don't know whether it is true or false." Hearing Ma Hongshan's question about Xiaoyao Sect, the foundation-building cultivator who replied to him could only shake his head helplessly.

In addition to asking Tuoyunshan for help, Ma Hongshan has started to write letters in person since the monster riot more than ten years ago to ask for help from Guangling Zhenren, who has a good relationship with him in Xiaoyao Sect.

As a result, he humbly appealed to Xiaoyao Sect for help, but what he got in return was only some insignificant promises and comfort. Until now, he has not even seen a single reinforcement. Thinking of this, Ma Hongshan's face also showed a trace of anger.

Because he was born in a Weiguo Xiuxian family, the previous Jindan family head of the Ma family, like the current Song Qingming, was also a guest elder of Xiaoyao Sect in name, but the main task of the Ma family was to guard Tiexian Fort and help Xiaoyao Sect guard against the many monsters north of Tiexian Fort.

When the previous family head of the Ma family was still there, the relationship with Xiaoyao Sect was always good. When Tiexian Fort was just established and encountered some difficulties or large-scale monster invasions, Xiaoyao Sect would also send cultivators to support them in time.

But since Ma Hongshan took over as the head of the Ma family, the relationship between the Ma family, which had already established a foothold in Tiexian Fort, and Xiaoyao Sect began to have some subtle changes, and gradually became more and more tense.

After the whole family moved to Tiexianbao, the Ma family stood in front of Xiaoyaozong for hundreds of years, blocking the invasion of monsters for them and shedding countless blood. However, Xiaoyaozong always controlled various cultivation resources near Tiexianbao. Whether it was mineral veins, market towns or various high-level spiritual objects, the sect would take the majority first, and then give the rest to the Ma family.

Since Chen Jinliang of Tuoyunshan helped each other, Tiexianbao has completely protected itself even in the face of the monster turmoil that occurs once a hundred years, and no longer needs to rely on the support of Xiaoyaozong. Therefore, everyone in the Ma family also wanted to break away from the control of Xiaoyaozong and set up their own sect like Tuoyunshan.

Later, because of the robbing of some mine resources near Tiexianbao, the Ma family and Xiaoyaozong had several conflicts. At that time, because of the increasing pressure from the monsters in the north, Xiaoyaozong took a step back for the sake of the overall situation and agreed to the Ma family to withdraw all the sect forces directly from Tiexianbao, giving them great autonomy.

But the only bottom line of Xiaoyao Sect is that the Ma family cannot stand on their own. Although Xiaoyao Sect will no longer interfere in the affairs of Tiexianbao, the Ma family is still a vassal of the sect, and Tiexianbao cannot be separated from the territory of Weiguo, which has continued to this day.

Compared with the slight disgust towards Fengyangde of Tuoyunshan, Ma Hongshan is more angry about Xiaoyao Sect's current attitude. Compared with Tuoyunshan's alliance with the Ma family, which is only a mutual help, the Ma family has been in Tiexianbao for so many years, guarding the northeast of Weiguo for Xiaoyao Sect for hundreds of years. Not to mention how much credit they have made, the Ma family monks have at least shed blood for Xiaoyao Sect for hundreds of years.

If the Ma family had not fought desperately in Tiexianbao, Weiguo would not have been so peaceful for hundreds of years. Now that Tiexianbao has reached a critical moment of life and death, Xiaoyao Sect still ignores them, regardless of their life and death, and does not care about the affection for so many years, which really makes everyone in the Ma family feel a little chilled.

"We can't rely on Tuoyun Mountain for the time being. The sect doesn't care about us now. If we want to survive, we, the Ma family, can't just sit there and wait for death." Ma Hongshan said angrily, and his eyes turned and revealed a hint of determination.

——

After confronting the monster army in Jinshanfang for half a year, Song Qingming finally received support from Xiaoyao Sect. After hearing Song Qingyu's voice transmission informing him that the sect had sent reinforcements, Song Qingming hurried to the meeting hall of the market with a happy face.

As soon as he walked into the room, Song Qingming saw that in addition to Song Qingyu, there were three unfamiliar foundation-building cultivators wearing Taoist robes from the Xiaoyao Sect standing in the meeting room. When the three saw Song Qingming, they hurried forward to greet him.

"Disciples Wu Wenhai, Yu Zhen, and Fu Deshui greet Uncle Master Song."

Song Qingming smiled and waved at them, then walked in and asked Song Qingyu who was standing beside him: "Qingyu, didn't you say that the sect sent reinforcements? Where are the others?"

"Where are the others? Aren't they all here?" Song Qingyu pointed at the three people standing beside him and replied calmly.

"This time the sect sent you three here, what's going on?" After hearing Song Qingyu's explanation, Song Qingming's face changed and he asked the three people below directly.

They said they had sent reinforcements, but there were only three foundation-building cultivators, and Wu Wenhai, who had the highest level of cultivation among them, was not even as good as Song Qingyu who was standing next to him. Song Qingming looked carefully at the three foundation-building cultivators standing in front of him, and a trace of doubt suddenly appeared on his face.

"What the hell is this sect doing? They sent these foundation-building cultivators from afar to support them. Xiaoyao Sect should not be so stingy even if it is not good enough!"

After the three foundation-building cultivators below heard the doubt in Song Qingming's tone, Wu Wenhai, the leader, smiled knowingly and took out a white letter from his body and handed it to Song Qingming.

"Uncle Song, this is the handwritten letter that the Supreme Elder asked us to give you. You will know after reading it."

After Song Qingming took the letter and opened it to read it, his eyes were immediately attracted and his face gradually calmed down.

After a while, Song Qingming slowly put away the letter and said solemnly to Song Qingyu beside him: "Go and gather all the foundation-building cultivators in the market. Come here to discuss in half an hour. Except for those who are still recovering from injuries, no one should be absent."

Seeing that Song Qingming's tone suddenly became very serious, Song Qingyu nodded hurriedly with a look of surprise and quickly left the meeting room.

After Song Qingyu left, Song Qingming raised his hand and released a soundproof barrier between the few people, and then whispered to Wu Wenhai: "Is the Golden Winged Flying Tiger on you? How powerful can you three control it now?"

Wu Wenhai nodded gently, took out a palm-sized golden tiger puppet directly from the storage bag, and placed it in front of Song Qingming.

"Uncle Song, don't worry. Junior Sister Yu, Junior Brother Fu and I have been training together for a long time. It only takes two people to control it and it can show the strength equivalent to the ordinary first-level Jindan. If the three of us control it together, it can increase its power by two points and help uncle to contain the White Lion Demon King. It should be no big problem."

Just a slight glance, Song Qingming immediately recognized that the golden tiger-shaped puppet in Wu Wenhai's hand was the only third-level puppet beast in Xiaoyao Sect.

A hundred years ago, Song Qingming had seen the Xiaoyao Sect cultivator controlling this puppet beast to fight against the enemy at the foot of Huoyun Mountain. Although a long time has passed, Song Qingming still has some impression of this golden tiger-shaped puppet in his mind.

After all, this "Golden Winged Flying Tiger" is a third-level middle-grade puppet beast that can compete with the Jindan Demon King. At that time, just seeing this puppet beast from a distance had already shocked Song Qingming's heart, and he still remembers the shocking scene at that time.

This time, Wu Wenhai and the other two followed the order of the sect's Grand Elder Li Mufeng and quietly came to Jinshanfang with the "Golden Winged Flying Tiger". The main purpose was to help Song Qingming defeat the White Lion Demon King's army of monsters.

The golden tiger-shaped puppet in front of him was almost equivalent to a Jindan warrior if used properly. With the help of Wu Sihai and the other three and this third-level puppet beast, Jinshanfang had an extra Jindan cultivator. Song Qingming now had some confidence in repelling the army of monsters outside the market.

After confirming the support sent by Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming still didn't understand why Xiaoyao Sect sent this "Golden Winged Flying Tiger" to him.

Logically speaking, the situation in Guiyunfang is more critical than his own, and it should need the support of this thing more. Xiaoyao Sect sent this important trump card to Jinshanfang, which really surprised Song Qingming.

"In that case, the three of you should act together tomorrow and strive to achieve success in one fell swoop and repel the monster army from Jinshanfang as soon as possible. I will discuss tomorrow's affairs with you later. The three of you should go to the back hall to rest first!" After hearing Wu Wen's confident answer, Song Qingming glanced at them with a firm look and made the final decision in his heart.

"I will obey the orders of my uncle!"
