Chapter 541 The Mysterious Gray Crane

Although there are many monsters near Tuoyun Mountain, they are basically low-level monsters of level one or two. There is only one monster above level three nearby, the Yunhe Monster King, hiding in Baihe Ridge thousands of miles away.

Although this monster has been promoted to the Monster King for more than 300 years, its cultivation has always been only at the early stage of Jindan. When Chen Jinliang was still there, the Baihe Monster King was not his opponent at all. If it were not for his speed and some means of escape, he would have died in Chen Jinliang's hands long ago.

In the past few hundred years, except when the monsters were turbulent, the Baihe Monster King would take the initiative to drive the monsters south. Usually, this monster king dared not approach Tuoyun Mountain.

However, since Chen Jinliang passed away, Tuoyun Mountain no longer has a powerful Jindan cultivator. The Yunhe Monster King, who had been suppressed for hundreds of years, finally began to become a little arrogant. During the last monster turmoil, he almost led his army of monsters to capture the mountain protection formation of Tuoyun Mountain.

If Chen Jinliang had not left Feng Yangde a third-level middle-grade talisman that severely injured the Cloud Crane Monster King, Tuoyun Mountain would have had a hard time holding out until Xiaoyao Sect came to support them.

Since the Ma family attacked Tuoyun Mountain, the defense force of the entire Tuoyun Mountain has been greatly weakened. The Cloud Crane Monster King, who had recovered from his injuries, also began to appear near Tuoyun Mountain, which frightened Lin Yutang and others who had just taken back Tuoyun Mountain.

Fortunately, they reached a deal with the Song family in time and invited Song Qingming to Tuoyun Mountain, which gradually stabilized the situation in Tuoyun Mountain.

During the ten years he was in charge of Tuoyun Mountain, Song Qingming also dealt with the Cloud Crane Monster King several times.

The first time was when the Cloud Crane Monster King brought many of his monsters to attack Tuoyun Mountain. With the help of many foundation-building cultivators and the mountain protection formation, Song Qingming easily repelled the Cloud Crane Monster King and his many monsters.

Later, the Cloud Crane Monster King attacked a market near Tuoyun Mountain again. After Song Qingming learned the news, he immediately rushed to reinforce. The two fought outside. This time, Song Qingming used all his means and defeated the Cloud Crane Monster King head-on with Jinfeng. Although he was injured, the Cloud Crane Monster King still relied on his innate magical powers to get rid of Song Qingming who was chasing him all the way.

In the few years since then, the somewhat timid and cautious Cloud Crane Monster King has never appeared near Tuoyun Mountain again.

Song Qingming had just come down from the top of the mountain and soon ran into Lin Yutang, who was panicking and wanted to go up the mountain to help him.

"Which demon king is coming? Did you see it clearly?"

Lin Yutang shook his head quickly and said, "Reporting to the senior, we have never seen or heard of this Gray Crane Demon King before. It looks a bit like the Cloud Crane Demon King, but it is definitely not him. Judging from the way he attacked the formation at the bottom of the mountain, his strength is obviously stronger than the Cloud Crane Demon King."

"I haven't heard of the Gray Crane Demon King! Could it be related to the Cloud Crane Demon King?" Song Qingming said with some doubt on his face, and ignored Lin Yutang, turning around and flying down the mountain.

At the foot of Tuoyun Mountain, a gray crane with a body of five or six feet high looked at the mountain protection formation of Tuoyun Mountain. After a moment, it suddenly flapped its huge wings and immediately fanned out two lightning bolts that directly hit the mountain protection formation not far in front of him.

Hundreds of Tuoyun Mountain monks standing behind the mountain protection formation, led by Zhang Rong, immediately stood in place holding formation flags, and used their own magic power to input into the mountain protection formation with the help of the formation flags in their hands to strengthen the protection of the mountain protection formation.

With so many of them, seeing the powerful third-level demon king outside, no one dared to confront it, and could only hide in the mountain protection formation and wait for support from the mountain.

There was a cloud crane demon king nearby who often looked at Tuoyun Mountain, which was already a headache for them. Now there was a more powerful gray crane demon king. If two demon kings appeared at the same time, it would be a bit bad. The people of Tuoyun Mountain at the scene looked at the gray crane demon king outside, and their faces showed a trace of uneasiness.

Lin Yutang had taken the initiative to go to the top of the mountain and asked Song Qingming, the Jindan senior who was in charge of Tuoyun Mountain, to help. Zhang Rong and others were silently praying that Song Qingming would come quickly to lead them to repel the demon king in front of them.

The Gray Crane Demon King standing outside the formation seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. He did not continue to attack the mountain protection formation of Tuoyun Mountain. He would basically take a short break between each attack, and the direction of the attack was also messy, as if he was testing the power of the mountain protection formation of Tuoyun Mountain.

After a while, a green light flashed, and a young figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone. It was Song Qingming who had just arrived at the foot of the mountain.

After seeing Song Qingming's figure, Zhang Rong and others were relieved and immediately stepped forward to salute Song Qingming.

After Song Qingming nodded slightly to everyone, he frowned and looked at the Gray Crane Demon King outside, and his heart also showed a little puzzlement.

The demon king in front of him was obviously not the old opponents that Song Qingming had seen, but he did not look like a demon king who had just advanced not long ago. It seemed that he was an alien demon king who had recently come to the vicinity of Tuoyun Mountain.

Although he didn't know where this gray crane came from, Song Qingming immediately recognized it when he saw his method of attack. Although this demon king looked a bit like the Cloud Crane Demon King, their methods and powers were very different. They should not be the same kind of demon king. He also breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys hold the formation, I'll go out and meet him first to see how powerful this monster is!"

After Song Qingming gave the order, he raised his right hand slightly, and instantly summoned his magic weapon "Mobai Sword", and rushed out of the formation with the sword.

After seeing Song Qingming suddenly come out, the Gray Crane Monster King who was attacking the mountain protection formation immediately turned around and stared at Song Qingming in front of him, and then flapped his wings and fanned out two powerful wind blades, heading straight for Song Qingming.

Seeing this, Song Qingming was not careless, and immediately flashed his body and retreated to the side, directly dodging this somewhat sharp attack, and then the "Mobai Sword" in his hand turned into a black sword light, quickly flew out of his hand, and came to the front of the Gray Crane Monster King with a tremendous momentum.

Before the "Mobai Sword" approached, a golden shield immediately appeared in front of the Gray Crane Monster King, directly blocking the magic weapon "Mobai Sword" sent by Song Qingming.

After blocking Song Qingming's attack, the Gray Crane Demon King immediately put away the shield beside him, flapped his wings and flew directly into the air. After circling Song Qingming, he flew directly to the north.

"Hmph! Monster, where are you going? Fight me for another two hundred rounds!" Seeing that the Gray Crane Demon King wanted to escape, Song Qingming shouted loudly, and took out the "Phantom Boat" in front of everyone, turning into a white light and chasing in the direction of the demon king's escape.

Seeing that the Gray Crane Demon King was somewhat defeated by Song Qingming after only a few rounds of fighting, and took the initiative to withdraw from the battle, everyone standing in the mountain protection formation of Tuoyun Mountain also showed a look of surprise on their faces.

"I have been in the mountain for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen the senior take action. I did not expect that the senior's magical power is so strong. This demon king did not dare to fight in front of him and was scared away in an instant. This is really beyond my expectation!"

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Li is right. With Senior Song here, Tuoyun Mountain will definitely be worry-free in the future. We have really found a great backer here."

"."

Hearing the happy discussions of the people around him, Zhang Rong's face also showed a trace of envy. Thinking back to when Song Qingming first came to Tuoyun Mountain, his cultivation level was almost the same as his, but now it is a world of difference.

A moment later, dozens of cultivators from Tuoyun Mountain rushed down in a hurry. They were Lin Yutang and others who were ready to come to help.

"Hey! Eighth Junior Brother, what's going on? Senior Song hasn't come yet? Where's the demon king just now?" Seeing that everyone at the foot of the mountain was standing aside with a happy look on their faces, and no longer had the nervousness they had when facing the demon king not long ago, Lin Yutang was also a little confused, not knowing what had happened.

"Senior Song has just defeated the demon king and is chasing him north!"

"What did you mean you defeated the demon king so quickly?" After hearing Zhang Rong's explanation, Lin Yutang's face was a little more surprised.

He had also seen the scene of Song Qingming fighting the Cloud Crane Demon King back then. Although Song Qingming's strength could suppress the opponent, it took a lot of effort to finally defeat the Cloud Crane Demon King.

The strength of the Gray Crane Demon King just now was obviously better than that of the Cloud Crane Demon King back then. How could Song Qingming defeat the opponent so quickly?

"Could it be that Senior Song did not use his full strength on purpose in the battle with the Cloud Crane Monster King, so I misjudged him?" Thinking of this, Lin Yutang could only shake his head.

"Eighth Junior Brother, it is a bit dangerous for Senior Song to chase the Monster King alone. You take the two Taoist friends to see if they can find them. If Senior Song encounters any trouble, you can quickly send a message to let me know, and I will immediately organize people to help."

Seeing that Lin Yutang was still a little worried, Zhang Rong responded calmly, and walked out of the mountain protection formation with two foundation-building monks. The three of them turned into several sword lights and went north.

Song Qingming, who was riding on the "Phantom Boat", chased the Gray Crane Monster King. They had already traveled hundreds of miles in front and behind. At this moment, the two had arrived at a high mountain in the northwest corner of Tuoyun Mountain.

The Gray Crane Demon King flew to the ridge on one side of the mountain peak and stopped directly. Then he stood there and turned around, his eyes fixed on the white light that had been chasing him not far behind him.

After a moment, the white light also quickly landed on the ridge, revealing Song Qingming's figure and the flying boat under his feet.

After carefully looking around, Song Qingming put away the "phantom boat" under his feet, walked directly in front of the Gray Crane Demon King, bowed with a smile on his face and said:

"It's been a long time since we parted, Senior Long Feng, long time no see!"
