Chapter 491 Reversal of Situation
Under the siege and interception of the crowd, the results of this battle were also very amazing. A middle-stage Jindan demon king of the other side was killed, plus nearly two thousand low-level demon beasts. The Xiaoyao Sect can be said to have won a great victory and almost wiped out the demon beast army that had plagued Gaoyun County for several months.
After this battle, the Xiaoyao Sect not only boosted the morale of the human cultivators, but also made the Xiaoyao Sect cultivators, who had been strongly suppressed by the demon beasts for more than half a year, feel proud for a while.
Although the two demon kings that went south were not kept, the Fierce Wind Demon King was finally severely injured by Guangling Zhenren. I am afraid that it will not be able to go to the battlefield again.
After losing several demon kings and thousands of demon beasts that went south, the demon beasts have obviously lost their advantage in the early battlefield. Next, they can only withdraw from the territory of Weiguo and can no longer pose a great threat to Guiyunfang.
The White Dragon Demon King, who was still in Guiyunfang, was furious when he learned that the two demon kings in the south were almost wiped out. He also felt helpless.
Upon learning that the Fierce Wind Demon King and the Nine-headed Demon King were ambushed, the White Dragon Demon King had just sent a few demon kings with reinforcements to reinforce them. Bai Yuxian and other Xiaoyao Sect Jindan elders in Guiyunfang immediately led people to kill them.
After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the opponent, but when the reinforcements arrived, it was too late. Although they rescued the severely injured Fierce Wind Demon King, the unlucky Nine-headed Demon King was no match for Song Qingming and the others, and fell into the hands of Li Xianyun.
In addition, the thousands of demon beasts under the command of the two demon kings also suffered nearly 80% casualties in the battle, which was also a heavy casualty, and the rest had basically lost the battle.
Although the main force of the monster army on the Guiyunfang side still has the upper hand, the morale of the monsters who have escaped from the south has been greatly affected by the miserable appearance of the monsters who have fled back from the south after several days of defeat.
When Song Qingming and his team rested for a few days and led the monk army to the north to support Guiyunfang, the White Dragon Monster King had already driven the monster army to retreat hundreds of miles north of Guiyunfang, actively avoiding the sharp edge of the Weiguo monks.
The monster side lost thousands of monsters in two major battles near Zixingfang. The overall strength has been reversed by the human side and no longer has an absolute advantage.
Among the many monster kings besieging Guiyunfang this time, there are three powerful monster kings who should not be underestimated. The most powerful one, the White Dragon Monster King, has cultivated to the peak of the Golden Core. Even Bai Yuxian has fought against it several times and is not its opponent.
In terms of high-level combat power at the Jindan level, although the Xiaoyao Sect has no more than the other side, after losing Yao Qianshu, the strongest Jindan cultivator, the Xiaoyao Sect has no advantage over the monsters in terms of top combat power. If they want to go north and completely defeat the monster army, the people in Guiyunfang are not sure for the time being.
The White Dragon Demon King is also very cautious. In its view, the Xiaoyao Sect not only suddenly has Li Xianyun, a late Jindan master, but also Yao Qianshu, the head of the Xiaoyao Sect, has been hiding in the dark. In this turmoil, the demon clan has gradually fallen into a disadvantage.
The Jindan demon kings who can cultivate to the third level have already opened up their intelligence. After all, there are only a few Jindan demon kings like the previous Fire Leopard Demon King who are not only hot-tempered but also have a relatively straightforward mind. Without absolute certainty, these demon kings will not choose to fight the Xiaoyao Sect.
The two sides began to temporarily stalemate in the north of Guiyunfang. Although there would occasionally be a small number of low-level monsters crossing the border to harass and attack, neither side dared to launch a large-scale life-and-death battle like before.
For those high-level monster kings with profound cultivation, the main purpose of the monster turmoil driving so many monster armies to attack the human territory in the south was to seize more survival territories through war with human cultivators, and to consume the many low-level monsters that had expanded in their respective territories.
Like human cultivators, the spiritual veins and various cultivation resources in the monster territory are also limited. Once the low-level monsters below reproduce too much, they will take away the cultivation resources and spiritual energy needed by the high-level monsters above.
Because of this, every hundred years or so, the northern frontier monsters will take the initiative to provoke this tragic war. No matter how much territory they can capture in the end, when these low-level monsters are almost consumed, the monsters will immediately withdraw their troops to end the turmoil.
After Guiyunfang gradually stabilized its front line, Xiaoyao Sect also immediately began to organize reinforcements to rescue Tuoyun Mountain and Tiexian Fort, which were still in a critical situation.
Tuoyun Mountain, which had persisted for more than half a year, was defeated by Yunhe Monster King at the beginning and lost most of the nearby territory and Lingshan, and fell into a precarious situation.
However, Feng Yangde was still very scheming. He deliberately showed weakness in the early stage to let Yunhe Monster King gradually let down his guard against him. Later, in a major battle in Tuoyun Mountain, he finally found an opportunity to take advantage of Yunhe Monster King's carelessness and injured Yunhe Monster King with a third-level middle-grade talisman left to him by Chen Jinliang.
Although Feng Yangde failed to kill Yunhe Monster King directly as he wished after using this trump card, he also allowed Tuoyun Mountain to temporarily repel the monster army and turn the danger into safety.
However, although the monster army attacking Tuoyun Mountain temporarily stopped the attack because of the injury of the Yunhe Monster King, they still entrenched in the west of Tuoyun Mountain and did not retreat. They were still a sharp knife hanging over the heads of many monks in Tuoyun Mountain.
In the past six months, although the monks of Tuoyun Mountain were very lucky and did not have to fight monsters to death like the human monks in other battlefields, Feng Yangde and his men still lived in fear, often worrying that the monster army that had just retreated would attack again.
The most important trump card in their hands has been used. If the Yunhe Monster King has recovered from his injuries and made a comeback, Feng Yangde and his men now really have no other good way to deal with it, and can only rely on the mountain protection formation to hold on.
In this case, facing the attack of the monster army with an absolute advantage, the Tuoyun Mountain Protection Formation can only last for more than ten days at most. Once the formation is broken, the thousands of monks on the mountain and their mortal family members will surely encounter disasters.
After half a year of fear, Feng Yangde on Tuoyun Mountain finally received the message from Xiaoyao Sect that they had won a great victory over the monsters in Zixingfang. Guiyunfang had successfully repelled the monster army and would soon send reinforcements to rescue them.
After receiving the message from Xiaoyao Sect, Feng Yangde finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately organized many cultivators on Tuoyun Mountain to inform everyone of this exciting news.
More than a month later, the Xiaoyao Sect cultivator army led by Chu Fengping finally appeared near Tuoyun Mountain. After the Xiaoyao Sect and Tuoyun Mountain cultivators joined forces, they immediately launched a joint counterattack against the monsters in the north of Tuoyun Mountain, catching the monster army off guard.
The Yunhe Monster King's cultivation was only in the early stage of the Golden Core, and his injuries had not yet fully recovered. After fighting with Chu Fengping for a while, he was quickly defeated by the opponent. Then the monster king directly abandoned the monster army and fled to the depths of the Floating Cloud Mountains.
After the Yunhe Monster King, who commanded the monster army, was defeated, the low-level monsters below, under the strong attack led by the two Jindan cultivators of the human race, quickly collapsed and lost their fighting spirit, and began to flee in all directions.
Seeing that the monster army had begun to retreat, the cultivators of Tuoyun Mountain and Xiaoyao Sect immediately boosted their morale and began to hunt down these monsters. It took less than a day to defeat the monster army that had threatened Tuoyun Mountain for more than half a year and completely drove them back to the Floating Cloud Mountains.
Not long after the battle on Tuoyun Mountain ended, Tiexian Fort, thousands of miles away from Tuoyun Mountain, soon learned the news.
Ma Hongshan, who was sitting in the family meeting room, saw the news that he had just received from Tuoyun Mountain about the counterattacks of Guiyunfang and Tuoyun Mountain on the two battlefields, and his face was also very surprised and showed a trace of ugliness.
Since the monster turmoil, Tiexian Fort, which was tightly besieged by the monster army, has lost contact with Xiaoyao Sect for a long time. Ma Hongshan was actually unaware of the several battles between Jinshanfang and Zixingfang. He only heard the important news from Tuoyunshan in recent days that Guiyunfang had repelled the monsters.
Seeing that Xiaoyao Sect defeated several monster armies heading south so quickly in less than two months and reversed the passive situation on the entire battlefield, Ma Hongshan was also very surprised.
Before the monster turmoil, Ma Hongshan had several times lost face and asked Xiaoyao Sect for help, but Tiexian Fort did not get any reinforcements. Ma Hongshan also vaguely guessed that there might be some problems within Xiaoyao Sect.
But he still didn't expect that Xiaoyao Sect would fall into a disadvantage across the board so quickly during this monster turmoil. Even Gaoyun County, which had not been invaded by monsters for hundreds of years, was lost to the monster army just a few months after the war began.
Logically speaking, Xiaoyao Sect can no longer turn the situation around on its own. If it wants to survive this monster turmoil safely, it can only find a way to ask for help from other countries around it.
The monster turmoil is far from over now. Several countries around Weiguo are also still fighting monsters invading from other places. They will definitely not be able to withdraw their hands to support Weiguo so quickly.
Although Ma Hongshan now knows the news that Tuoyun Mountain and Guiyunfang have repelled the monsters, he is not very clear about what happened in Weiguo in the past few months to reverse the situation of the monster turmoil.
"I heard that Xiaoyao Sect will send reinforcements soon. Now Tiexian Fort is safe. Once the reinforcements arrive, you will be able to repel the monster army outside the city and rescue it. It seems that Fellow Daoist Ma will not need us?"
Just as Ma Hongshan was sitting alone in the meeting room thinking about this, two blue-robed monks wearing the same clothes suddenly walked in from outside and looked at Ma Hongshan, who was sitting at the top, with a smile on their faces.
