Chapter 486 Li Xianyun
After receiving the imperial edict from Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming handed over the defense of Jinshanfang to Song Qingyu and Zhao Chuancheng, and rushed to Guyang Mountain alone.
Because of the war on the northern front, most of the disciples in Xiaoyao Sect were recruited to Guiyunfang and Gaoyun County to fight against the enemy. Now Guyang Mountain and Yangshanfang are also quiet, far from the prosperous scene of the past.
Because of the turmoil of monsters, the territory of Weiguo is also very turbulent, and Guyang Mountain is now activated at any time
Song Qingming just arrived outside the Guyang Mountain mountain protection formation, and soon two sword lights flew in front of him from the formation.
"Uncle Song, you are polite!" After recognizing Song Qingming's face, the two foundation-building disciples guarding the mountain gate hurried forward to salute and help Song Qingming open the sect formation.
Since Song Qingming became the guest elder of Xiaoyao Sect, the sect has hung his portrait in the ancestral hall. Except for some outer disciples of lower status, the cultivators in Xiaoyao Sect have basically remembered the appearance of Song Qingming, the new elder of the sect.
After a smooth journey, he came directly to the Xiaoyao Hall of the sect. As soon as he entered the hall, Song Qingming saw Li Mufeng drinking tea and chatting with a strange yellow-clothed cultivator in the hall, and a trace of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
This yellow-clothed man is also a Jindan cultivator like Song Qingming, but this man's cultivation has reached the seventh level of Jindan. The momentum he exudes is much stronger than Song Qingming, and there is a hint of chill.
What surprised Song Qingming even more was that Li Mufeng, the sect's Yuanying Grand Elder, who was usually high and mighty, was chatting with this yellow-clothed man at this moment, just like a fellow Jindan cultivator, and he didn't have the airs of a Yuanying cultivator at all.
Song Qingming had never seen or heard of the person who could be treated so courteously by Li Mufeng, which made him more curious about this yellow-robed cultivator.
"Qingming, come and meet fellow Daoist Li. Although he is a casual cultivator, he is also a cultivator who has formed a Dan in our Wei country. This time he came back to help us deal with the monsters in the northern border." Seeing Song Qingming coming in from outside the door, Li Mufeng quickly stood up and waved to him.
Hearing Li Mufeng say that this yellow-robed cultivator was a casual cultivator who had formed a Dan in Wei country, Song Qingming, who was walking on the road, suddenly thought of a name in his mind, which made the surprise on his face even more serious.
"I am Song Qingming, meet fellow Daoist Li!"
"Li Xianyun"
Facing Song Qingming's bow, the man in yellow smiled and looked at him, then just stood up slightly, bowed, and sat back immediately.
Hearing the three words "Li Xianyun" from the yellow-clothed man's mouth, Song Qingming's face gradually calmed down. The many puzzles and speculations in his heart just now disappeared instantly.
If it were a hundred years ago, the name "Li Xianyun" would be known to everyone in the whole Wei Kingdom. Even though Song Qingming was just a small Qi Refining cultivator at that time, he had already heard of this famous figure in the Wei Kingdom's cultivation world.
Back then, Li Xianyun was in Wei Kingdom. As a layman cultivator, he successfully built his foundation at the age of 25 and formed a golden elixir before the age of 100. This genius-like cultivation speed even surpassed many talented elite disciples in Xiaoyao Sect.
Unexpectedly, after Li Xianyun formed his elixir, his cultivation speed was still so amazing. It has only been a hundred years, and Li Xianyun has already cultivated to the seventh level of the elixir. Among the many elixir cultivators of Xiaoyao Sect, except for Bai Yuxian, who has a natural spiritual root, only the cultivation speed of the headmaster Yao Qianshu after forming his elixir can be compared with that of Li Xianyun now.
After learning that this person is Li Xianyun, Song Qingming is not surprised at all by the arrogance he showed, including the fact that Li Mufeng just condescended to treat him with courtesy.
After Li Xianyun formed his elixir, even Li Mufeng, the supreme elder of Xiaoyao Sect, personally invited him, but this guy could directly refuse. It can be seen that this arrogance in him is also innate.
In the world of immortal cultivation, whether it is a casual cultivator or a family or a large sect cultivator, most people will choose to make friends and make more good connections, so that they can take fewer detours on the road of cultivation.
But a true genius like Li Xianyun, even if he chooses to practice alone, his cultivation speed will not be slower than that of the cultivators of the big sects such as Xiaoyao Sect. Li Xianyun, a cultivator with a strong natural talent for cultivation, is also the one that Song Qingming really envies now.
Although there are rumors in the cultivation world of Weiguo that Li Xianyun can practice so smoothly because he has the support of a master behind him and dares to directly refuse the solicitation of Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming, who has already formed a pill, will naturally not easily believe such a groundless thing.
Just based on the scene that Song Qingming saw Li Mufeng and Li Xianyun chatting today, it can be seen that Li Xianyun’s current relationship with Xiaoyao Sect must be not simple, otherwise Li Xianyun, who has left Weiguo for nearly a hundred years, would not appear in Xiaoyao Hall at this time.
However, Xiaoyao Sect can invite Li Xianyun, a Jindan master, back to Weiguo to help at such a critical moment. To be honest, this is also a major event that Song Qingming never expected before coming to Guyang Mountain.
Originally, Song Qingming thought that Li Mufeng had called him back to the sect this time to support the Guiyunfang front, which was in a critical situation. Now that he saw Li Xianyun suddenly appear in Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming had already thought that this time, things would not be so simple.
Sure enough, after Song Qingming sat down, Li Mufeng told him directly that Xiaoyao Sect was about to prepare a counterattack on the Guiyunfang front.
The purpose of calling Song Qingming back this time was not only to support Bai Yuxian in Guiyunfang, but Li Mufeng also wanted to take this opportunity to kill the monsters by surprise, strive to severely damage the monsters in one battle, and completely drive all the monsters near Guiyunfang out of the Weiguo territory.
According to Li Mufeng's plan, Song Qingming and his team would reorganize a large army of cultivators, first defeat the monster army led by the two monster kings stationed on the south side of Guiyunfang, and then join Bai Yuxian and his team in Guiyunfang to block the retreat of the other two monster kings who had already gone south to Gaoyun County.
As long as these demon kings can be surrounded and killed successfully, the demon beasts will inevitably suffer a great loss of strength and be forced to retreat to the north of Guiyunfang. In this way, the crisis of Guiyunfang can be completely resolved.
However, this plan also has a problem that is not easy to solve, that is, Song Qingming and his team must find a way to quickly defeat the two demon king armies that are blocking a small market in the south of Guiyunfang. Otherwise, if the time is too long, several demon kings from other places in Guiyunfang will rush to support and defend this place in time, and this plan will not be able to proceed later.
High-level demon kings also have secret techniques to communicate with each other thousands of miles away. Once Song Qingming and his team fail in the final attack, the two demon kings who went south to Gaoyun County and confronted Guangling Zhenren will definitely receive the news and evacuate to the north in time.
Once these demon kings are let go and let them join the demon kings in Guiyunfang, it will not be so easy to find an opportunity to kill them.
The Nine-Pattern Dragon and Fire Leopard Demon King stationed there were both powerful middle-stage Jindan Demon Kings. Song Qingming and Li Xianyun were not much different in overall strength from the other side, so they had no advantage at all. Song Qingming was puzzled by Li Mufeng's arrangement.
It was not that he had no confidence in Li Xianyun's strength, but he himself had only recently formed a Jindan, and he could still fight against a demon king like the White Lion Demon King who was in the early stage of Jindan. Facing a stronger middle-stage Jindan Demon King, Song Qingming was really not sure that he could help Li Xianyun completely hold back an opponent and create an opportunity for him to kill the demon king.
"Uncle Li, if we want to defeat the Nine-Pattern Dragon and Fire Leopard Demon King in Zixingfang before the monsters in Guiyunfang come to help, wouldn't it be too risky for only Fellow Daoist Li and I? Why don't you transfer the "Golden Wing Flying Tiger" to us first, so that we can have a greater chance of success."
Seeing that Song Qingming's tone seemed to lack confidence, Li Mufeng shook his head and said softly: "This time, in addition to you and Fellow Daoist Xianyun, your Senior Brother Yao will also go with you. With the three of you fighting together, this battle will not be a problem."
"Has the head brother come out of seclusion? That's great!" Hearing that Yao Qianshu wanted to act together, Song Qingming's slightly frowned brows suddenly relaxed.
Since joining Xiaoyao Sect as a guest elder, although Song Qingming has not seen Yao Qianshu, the head of Xiaoyao Sect, several times, he quickly found out some news about Yao Qianshu's failure to break through the Nascent Soul Realm not long ago.
When Chu Fengping told him that he would hand over Jinshanfang to him, Song Qingming had guessed that there must be a big problem inside Xiaoyao Sect. Later, he slowly learned that it was because the leader Yao Qianshu failed to attack the Nascent Soul and injured his own meridians and needed to retreat to recover. It was difficult for him to take action in the next monster turmoil.
The reason why Xiaoyao Sect was so passive at the beginning of this monster turmoil was that the monsters were stronger than before. Another biggest reason was that Yao Qianshu, the leader with the strongest combat power in Xiaoyao Sect, was retreating to recover and could not help.
Otherwise, Yao Qianshu alone could hold back the other two late Jindan great demon kings. With him as the leader in Guiyunfang, even if Xiaoyao Sect would suffer a little loss in this monster turmoil, it would never be so easy for the monster army to enter Gaoyun County.
Seeing Song Qingming's happy face, Li Mufeng nodded calmly and told Song Qingming: "This time, Qingming, you are responsible for holding back the Nine-Pattern Dragon. The Fire Leopard Demon King will be handed over to you, Senior Brother Yao and Fellow Daoist Li. As long as you can hold the opponent for half an hour, it will be considered the first merit of this battle."
"Please rest assured, Uncle Master, Qingming will do his best and will never let the sect down!" After hearing Li Mufeng's arrangement, Song Qingming stood up and agreed to the matter with confidence.
